iPhone and the fight for storage: this is how you can free up GB by entering the phone settings

The first thing that users usually do is delete files, whether they are photos, documents, audios or videos, which are the largest files. However, there is an alternative in the settings.

The key would be to reduce the so-called iOS System Data. According to a report from Infobae, it is a set of temporary files that can occupy dozens of gigabytes and affect the performance of the device.

And the user usually looks for alternatives, since the iPhone does not allow you to expand the memory with a card, and if you cannot pay for cloud space like iCloud, you should try to manage your storage better.

The files included in System Data can be temporary files, cached data, system logs, and other resources to make your computer run faster, but they are often so many that they clog up the device.

It has been seen that in some cases it can reach up to 80 or even 100 GB. This is more noticeable in equipment that is several years old.

They recommend following the following steps to check how many gigabytes the System Data is taking up: first you have to go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage and continue to the end of the list. This category appears there.

One detail is that it cannot be eliminated directly. So, what you can do is delete the applications that take up the most space and reinstall them. The time they remain on the team leads them to accumulate irrelevant information. It is also recommended to restart the device.
