Smart CleanerYour next steps
Choose a single goal
Check iPhone Storage and decide whether you need room for a download, a recording or an update.
Set a small review budget
Choose a handful of large videos or one set of obsolete screenshots. Skip anything that needs a difficult decision.
Check before confirming
Open candidates, check dates and save important records elsewhere. Similar images are not necessarily interchangeable.
Stop and measure
Recheck available storage after the system updates. Leave uncertain items for another session instead of chasing a promised number.
Choose the right action
| Your priority | A useful approach | Before you act |
|---|---|---|
| Keep the original | Retain the full-quality or meaningful version; review replaceable content elsewhere first. | A smaller copy may not preserve edits, movement or all detail. |
| Remove an unwanted item | Inspect it, verify any necessary independent copy and approve only the intended selection. | Deletion in a synced library can affect other devices. Permanent removal ends recovery. |
Where Smart Cleaner helps
Smart Cleaner groups candidates so you can focus on review. The browser cleanup planner also helps choose a manageable task.

Questions you might still have
Which category should I start with?
Use your storage breakdown. Many tiny screenshots can be less useful to review than a few large videos.
Must I finish the whole library?
No. Keeping uncertain items is a valid outcome; return later with more time.
