  • You might find that some Apps may not cleanup after themselves when you have download the App or after the App has updated and leave the installer in the Downloads folder which can use up quite a lot of space. This video guide shows you how to delete these unwanted installers.

    Thank you so much! Also for those wondering you can select multiple files at once by just clicking the left button on each file (you should see a green check on the left of the file).

    Thank you so much! I kept losing storage space after I downloaded and deleted apps and couldn’t figure out why, now I know. When you delete an app you don’t get rid of everything.
