![]() ![]() I actually did that yesterday in order to install iOS 15.2.1 when it wouldn't otherwise install because I had less than 900 MB of free space. It's drastic, but often the best way to clear up stuff (especially the "Other" storage category) is to do that backup, restore to factory settings, and restore from backup that I mentioned previously. There are other ways to delete individual app data that you might not need, but I'm not sure off the top of my head how to do it.Īnd you seem to be concerned about too much storage being used. ![]() Another way to specifically control that is Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data where each website's data can be cleared by swiping left and tapping on "Delete". However, it's going to go up once you start browsing websites. ![]() There is a way to delete pretty much everything from Safari including cookies, cache, etc with Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data. Can I delete them and how do I pick and choose? Will this free up space in my storage? Karol60 wrote: Ok, then maybe I have a lot of cookies stored. The only thing close a defrag would be to restore the operating system to factory settings and recovering from a backup. If you really think you need it, there aren't any third party tools that can access an iPhones storage directly and Apple certainly doesn't provide anything for the user. This purposely writes data to the drive in such a way that its cells wear out evenly which means that the drive does not degrade prematurely. Furthermore, they keep track of the order the files are written using a technique called ‘wear-levelling. ![]() SSDs are able to read blocks of data that are spread out over the drive just as fast as they can read those blocks that are adjacent to one another. Flash drive controllers and the operating system already employ techniques like "wear leveling" that move data around to avoid concentrating system writes in specific physical memory locations. The limitation on speed is mostly just the speed of the internal data interfaces. There isn't quite the seek time issue with flash-based drives that one had with spinning platters and moving heads. ![]()
