Regardless of whether you use an iPhone or Android, if you have some experience using these devices, it is quite likely that you already know how easy it is to run out of storage space in it just a few months after purchasing it. And this is even more problematic when we decide to choose a version with the minimum capacity.
And photographs and videos tend to stand out as two of the elements that most commonly tend to occupy a fairly large space in the storage capacity of our phones.
But there is also an element that we do not tend to pay much attention to, but that can also end up having a great impact: the data of the applications , which takes up a lot of space, and can eventually threaten to fill the memory of the phone completely.
And what does the app data consist of? They basically consist of all the settings and files that a certain app generates as we use it. Of course, depending on the application itself, they can end up occupying a considerable amount of data.
Luckily, deleting the data associated with a certain application can be quite helpful when it comes to recovering the space we need. And we discover how to do it easily.
Deleting application data that we no longer need
In the first place, it is extremely interesting to see which applications take up the most space on our device. To do this, we must open the Settings app that we will find on the home screen, and then touch on General and then on iPhone Storage .
Throughout this new screen we can move them through the different sections to check how much space each of the applications is using at that time. In case you notice that a certain app takes up a lot of space, but we rarely use it, an excellent idea is to proceed to delete the data associated with that particular application.
From the iPhone storage screen, we must touch any app that we want to delete, and then click on the Delete app button to delete it completely.
It is also possible to do it from the home screen of our device, instead of doing it within the Storage screen of the iPhone. To do this, we just keep one finger pressed on the icon of the app that we want to delete until the pop-up menu is displayed with the option we are interested in: Delete app . Clever!
