Music, videos and pictures will make the iPhone or iPad storage memory run out of spaces. We all feel the need to clear some extra memory space on our phones, but all the pictures are there to be cherished and all the music to be heard.

But our iPhone 6 are cramped with other documents and data which are compromising with the performance of our iPhone and that must be deleted. There are a ton of unwanted documents that come along in the shape of stock apps, third-party apps, cached data and iCloud documents. These are better to delete.

Many apps come in small sizes, but the document and data that come along with it take up more space than the actual app. These memory caches can be cleared. Go to settings and find “Clear Documents Files” and this will remove any offline copies downloaded articles taking up precious memory space on your iPhone/iPad.

You can download apps like WondersharePhoneClean or iExplorer to clear out documents and data not needed. Because clicking a few buttons is a huge task.

    What is the reason that I delete many many emails and in spite of that the amount of Messages stays on the same number…? In the Trash the deleted mails are not seen… I dont’t understand this. Can someone help me? (sorry for my English, I am Dutch)
    Thank you so much in advance!

    Pick a line from a favourite song… Use the initials as your password. Eg..Jack and Jill ran up the hill ( not a song but you get the idea) will become J&jruth. Then put the first letter of the site you are using at the beginning and the last at the end. Eg if you’re on Amazon..aJ&jruthn..get it. You’re welcome. Enjoy X
