Delete unnecessary data with "iPhone"-Before trying to initialize for "Other" data-zdnet Japan
Just because the "iPhone" storage capacity is insufficient does not need to be upgraded to a new iPhone.In fact, if the shortage of storage capacity is the only reason, an upgrade is unnecessary (unless the iPhone is running out of life).There are many tricks that help reduce the problem.
提供：Jason Cipriani/CNETOne of the possibility of using a large amount of storage is the mysterious "Other" (other) storage section on the iPhone.If you've been running out of storage in the past and have tried to release the capacity manually, you may already know this section.For those who have no such experience, first explain what "Other" (other) storage section is.After that, I will explain how to reduce this troublesome category.
The Other (Other) section is an item that contains a variety of storage of iPhone storage.Think of it as a place where system files and "Siri" sounds are saved.However, this is the biggest cause that tends to use a large amount of storage.The cache preserves various elements of apps and websites.Next, to increase the loading speed when using those apps and websites.Cash accumulates when a user browses the web, streams videos and movies, and sends text messages containing photos and videos.In apps such as "Google Maps" and "Chrome", cached data can quickly squeeze out available storage on the device.
So, isn't the "Other" section used too much of the valuable storage capacity of the iPhone?To check this, it is necessary to proceed with "Settings" (setting)> "General"> "iPhone Storage" (iPhone storage).After the calculation is completed after a while, a bar graph showing the ratio of the iPhone storage capacity used by each category is displayed.The "Other" section is usually the gray part at the right end of the graph (assuming that this section is used more than necessary, as the purpose of this article is used).
「iOS 11」では、あまり使用しないRemove the appオプションなど、容量を解放するさまざまな方法が新たに導入された。提供：Rick Broida/CNETLet's solve this problem immediately.The reliable way to throw away the large amount of garbage contained in the "Other" section is to reset the iPhone, but in my experience, it cannot be completely empty.If you feel hesitant to back up and erase and restore your iPhone now, try some alternatives introduced below.
Remove the app
Do not confuse the application deletion.When the app is removed, the application is deleted from the device, but all the data is retained if the user wants to install it again.For example, if there is an application that uses a lot of capacity but does not save so much, such as Google Maps, use this function.To remove the app, proceed with "Settings" (setting)> "GENERAL"> "iPhone Storage" (iPhone storage) as before.Tap (Remove App).
Here are some hints.The iPhone Storage (iPhone Storage) section has an app list, and the storage capacity used is displayed next to each app name.If you look at it, you can immediately grasp the apps that use a lot of storage and the apps that are not used very much.This information should be useful when determining the app to be removed.
Erase the "Safari" cache and close the tab
If you frequently use Safari, you may have a web history and data that you do not need at all on your iPhone.To erase Safari's browser cache, proceed to "Settings"> "Safari" and tap "Clear History and Website Data" (erasing history and website data).For Chrome Users, see the "Here's How to Clear An iPhone's Cache and Speed Up Your Browsing" article.
Closed the tab is also effective in opening the storage capacity and maintaining a comfortable device.To manage the frequency of closing the tabs opened by Safari, proceed with "Settings"> "Safari"> "Close Tabs".You can keep the tab manually, or you can close the tabs that have not been browsed a day, one week or one month to Safari.
Stop saving the text forever
By default, the iPhone saves all the sent text messages forever.This is useful when you need to search for a conversation 15 months ago, but it is inconvenient if you need to regain storage capacity.To stop saving the text forever, open "Settings" (Settings) and tap "Messages".Scroll down until the "Message History" (message history) is displayed, and tap "Keep Messages".Change "Forever" (indefinite) to "30 days" (30th) or "1 year" (1 year).Ask a pop -up asking if you want to delete an old message, tap "Delete" (deleted).
