Iphone running out of room

Post by sanchez »

hello guys, can somebody help me out, my wife's iPhone's storage is almost full and running very slow, she pays for Icloud storage and I have to delete some photos of her phone, I am just worried I may delete some photos and they will be deleted off the cloud thing as well. how do you delete only from the phone?

Wish I could help you Sanchez, but I don't own any Apple devices to say what their options are or how you would ensure what will happen, or what specific action to invoke to get that result.

If you've saved the photos to icloud storage you can safely delete them from the phone. They are securely saved in the cloud.
If you want to be double sure and have a laptop or desktop, connect the iPhone to the machine and import the photos and save them on that device.
I will also save my photos to a flash drive

I hope this helps,

What tona said is the way.

I lost the most fun years of my life due to a hard drive crash. I Now have an external drive backing up important folders every night.

What I've learned in life is that it's a lost cause to help wives and little brothers with their virus-laden, bogged down, full-hard drived devices. Fuck 'em. If they can't learn to self-regulate, just walk away...

You should be able to select View (while in the flash drive) and you will find all sorts of detailed options for sorting and can set as default.
How that looks depends on your OS.

Happy to help,
