iPhone storage space is important at the best of times, but in situations like mine—where I’m regularly making 30 to 90-minute long YouTube videos—it’s absolutely vital. So here’s what I do to avoid a “Storage Almost Full” warning in the middle of recording.

1 Actively Delete Unused Apps and Games

One of the fastest ways to clear up space in a pinch is to start deleting non-essential software. To delete apps directly from the Home Screen, tap and hold an empty part of the screen until all the app icons start to shake. Then tap the minus (-) symbol that appears in the top-left corner of an app’s icon and select “Delete App” from the pop-up to remove it.

For a better idea of what’s taking up the most space, open the Settings app and select General > iPhone Storage, then scroll down to the app list, which displays file size next to each app’s name. To delete an app, select it from the list and tap “Delete” to delete it entirely. Or tap “Offload App” to delete the app but save its data separately so your progress and settings will remain if you reinstall it.

You can also tell your iPhone to automatically offload apps and games you don’t use often when you start to run low on space. Open the Settings app and select General > iPhone Storage, then tap “Enable” next to Offload Unused Apps to turn the feature on.

Deleted apps can be re-downloaded (provided they’re not removed from the App Store entirely) by opening the App Store and tapping your user profile, then selecting “Apps” and searching through your download history.

2 Clear Out Your Deleted Photos

The Photos app also hangs onto deleted photos and videos for up to 30 days, in case you didn’t mean to delete them or change your mind after a few days. This means they’re not really gone right after you decide to get rid of them.

To completely delete your deleted media, open the Photos app to the Albums page, scroll down and select “Recently Deleted,” tap “View Album,” and enter your iPhone’s unlock password when prompted.

Tap “Select” in the top-right corner, then tap the three dots (…) that appear in the bottom-right corner. Choose “Delete All” from the pop-up menu, then tap “Delete From This iPhone” to permanently delete everything in your Recently Deleted folder. You'll want to do this regularly to keep your iPhone storage free.

3 Pay Attention to the Size of Downloads

You can also get ahead of any potential storage issues by simply avoiding large downloads. This doesn’t help if you explicitly need to download a particular item, but it can be useful if you’re looking at something that isn’t super important.

Open the App Store and locate the game or app you’re thinking of downloading, then scroll down to the "Information" section of the page—you’ll find it almost all the way at the bottom, just above the “More by” and “Featured In” categories. Find the “Size” entry to learn how large the download is.

需要記住的是，某些應用程式和遊戲（特別是即時服務遊戲）在首次啟動時通常會下載更多資料。由於我一直努力保持 iPhone 儲存空間空閒，因此我對首先下載哪些大型應用程式非常挑剔。

4 將照片和影片移到雲端

當然，也可以選擇將媒體傳輸到您的 iCloud 帳戶。這樣，它就不會佔用您手機上的空間，但仍然可以輕鬆存取（只要您有網路連線）。

若要將照片和影片備份到 iCloud 帳戶，請開啟「設定」應用程式並點選您的 Apple ID，然後選擇「iCloud」並點選「照片」。點擊「同步此 iPhone」旁的開關，將「照片」應用程式中的所有內容上傳到您的 iCloud 帳號。

上傳後，您需要設定>;照片>優化 iPhone 儲存空間，透過縮小裝置上儲存的照片大小，讓您的 iPhone 自動節省空間。請注意，您只能免費獲得 5GB 的 iCloud 儲存空間。不僅如此，還需要支付更多的儲存空間費用。

或者，您可以使用 Google Drive（免費提供高達 15GB 的儲存空間）。打開 Google 雲端硬碟應用程序，或先下載並登入（如果您的 iPhone 上還沒有該應用程式），然後打開要將項目傳輸到的 Google 雲端硬碟資料夾。

點擊右下角的加號 (+) 圖標，然後從彈出式選單中選擇「上傳檔案」。選擇“照片和視頻”（您可能需要先授予應用程式訪問您的照片庫的權限），選擇一張或多張照片或視頻，然後點擊“完成”。

從彈出式選單中選擇「最近」相簿並再次選擇文件，然後點擊「上傳」將它們傳輸到所選的 Google 雲端硬碟資料夾。

5 調整照片和影片設定

雖然應用程式和遊戲往往會佔用每個項目更多的空間，但您的照片和影片庫可能會開始佔用大量空間，所有內容組合在一起。透過選擇減少媒體檔案整體大小的格式設置，可以減緩媒體檔案的這種不斷增長的速度。

透過減少檔案大小，您還會降低影像品質 - 由您決定這種權衡是否值得。

開啟「設定」應用程序，向下捲動，然後點擊「相機」選項。點擊“錄製影片”以更改視訊錄製設定。解析度和幀速率越高，檔案就越大。您還可以關閉“HDR 視訊（高效）”以節省每個視訊更多的空間。

返回相機選單，選擇「格式」並將相機拍攝設定變更為「高效能」。關閉“Apple ProRAW”旁邊的開關也可以縮小照片檔案大小。

6 使用舊手機進行溢出

如果您最近（甚至不是最近）用現在使用的iPhone 更換了智慧型手機，並且它仍然可以工作，那麼您已經具備了一個方便的條件為各種物品提供額外的儲存位置。

較舊的 iPhone 可能無法掌握安全性更新、處理最新版本的 iOS 或運行最新的應用程式。但是，您不需要所有這些來儲存照片、影片或不是最新的應用程式。

如果需要，您甚至可以使用 AirDrop 或 Google Drive 將媒體傳輸到舊裝置。或者將應用程式和遊戲重新安裝到舊手機上，這樣您就可以將它們從新手機上刪除，而不必擔心永遠無法使用它們。

如果我們保留我們保留的所有東西以及我們拍攝的每張照片或螢幕截圖，那麼再多的儲存空間也不會永遠持續下去。如果你願意多付數百美元，蘋果只提供有競爭力的儲存選項也無濟於事。值得慶幸的是，透過對您的習慣和設定進行一些調整，避免 iPhone 儲存空間被填滿並不是太困難。
