How do I begin freeing up space on my iphone?

How do I begin freeing up space on my iphone? Is there away to clear unnecessary or duplicated information? Or consolidate my itunes library so that it takes up less room? Would it be possible to purchase more space?

The iPhone does not have expandable memory.
If you need more free space, remove stuff from the device.

Freeing up space by removing iphone photos

Hi Forum,
Tonight i encountered something very unfamilar to me when syncing my iphone 6. when plugged into my computer the task bar located at the bottom of the iTunes details the space being used by particular applications (EG, music, photos, apps, other) .
It is displaying that my photo count and size( GB/MB) is larger than what is actually on located on my camera roll. for example it currently says there is 119 photos on the roll (including recently deleted) and when im looking in my settings> General> About . its says 531.
Help!! how do i free up this space of other things.
Thanking you

Deleting them from the iphone will have ne effect on the content of your ipad.

Help! Deleting photos isn't freeing up space on my iPhone 5c

Tonight I took videos at my daughters recital and used up all the space on my phone. When I got home, I copied the photos onto my computer and then deleted the copies on my phone. Currently, I have 24 photos on my phone and no videos. When I look at my phones DCIM folder (from my computer) it says that 48.7MB is being used but on my phone, when I go to "Manage Storage" it says that the Photos & Camera is using up 4.7 GB.
How do I free up this space on my phone? It's like all the deleted files aren't actually gone.
Thank you for your help.

Put the iPhoto Library in the trash and empty it. They are various ipod caches and other ancillary files in there that make no sense preserving if you’ve emptied the library. Next time you start iPhoto it will make a new empty Library.

How do I extend the storage space on my iphone?

Hi Guys
I want to extend the storage space across my idevices since my wife can't stop taking photos of our new addition to the family on her iphone.
We already both use iTunes Match so there is music on our phones it's all streamed off the cloud which works well I can recommend this.
The problem now comes from the fact we now need extra storage space for photos and videos taken on ios. Photo stream does a good job of syncing photos across devices but not video. It would be nice if iCloud did this but found that it fell short of the mark on anything but backing up my iphone since the things it stores in the cloud seem limited.
Dropbox seems like a good alternative to this since it will work on all devices but may require management on a separate computer and am not sure if it will work with streaming video I guess I can give it a go and see.
Has anybody got a good experience with photo / video streaming across idevices that they can share?
Regards
Chris

Hi
Thanks for your response.
Buying a bigger iphone was just too obvious an answer.
We already have the backup to mac in place it just means that to view pics that you need to turn on the big machine.
I would rather have them available to view via a cloud service of some kind.
Anyone have any experiences to add?

HT4993 How do I reduce the "other" space on my iphone???

My phone is only 4 months old and has nearly 3 Gigs of "other" space being taken up on my phone. I have tried a few things and nothing works. I dont use the phone as in depth as my step son uses his and his is not even nearly as contaminated by this space. Please help me regain some of this space back!

This indicates corrupt files.
A restore should resolve.

How do I make enough storage space on my iPhone to download new update?

New update requires 2.5 GB of space. I only have 1.8. I've removed several memory-heavy apps, voice files, photos, still not enough room.

Remove a movie or two transferred from your iTunes library if there are any, or install the update with iTunes on your computer.

How can I delete useless memory on both my iPhone and my Macbook Pro?

How can I delete useless memory on both my iPhone and my Macbook Pro?

I don't know much about iPhones but when you write "memory" do you mean the data on your hard drive on your MacBook Pro? If so, simply drag the items you deem as useless into the Trash and empty the Trash. DON'T fool around with any of the system items, just your own documents that you feel that you no longer need.
You can get an answer on freeing up space on your iPhone in the iPhone forum.

How can I increase hard drive space on my mac book pro

I have only about 30 gb left on my hard drive. I have a mac book pro I bought in 2013. I've deleted or transferred to an external hard drive
as much material as possible. How can I find out what is taking up all the room?? My dropbox always says it can't sync because I don't have
enough room on my hard drive. Why isn't 30gb enough? Please tell me how I can find out which files are taking up so much room and how I can
find out what I can get rid of (are there programs I don't know about?) thanks

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Get an external hard drive on which to store some of your files after which you can
erase the data from your internal drive to free up space.
5. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
6. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
7. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

There is no more space for virtual disk ServerName_2.vmdk. You might be able to continue this session by freeing disk space on the relevant volume, and clicking Retry. Click Cancel to terminate this session.   Time: 30/05/2014 1:16:20 AM

Recently, our mail server crashed at about 7pm one night, with the error 'There is no more space for virtual disk ServerName_2.vmdk. You might be able to continue this session by freeing disk space on the relevant volume, and clicking Retry. Click Cancel to terminate this session.'
When we click Retry, the server starts up OK.
There are no snapshots listed in Snapshot manager for any of the virtual machines on the host.
There is also free disk space available on the host and for the VM with the disk errors.
This happened at least three more times, often at bad times. Each time, we were able to click 'Retry' and the disk/system would allow the VM to start-up successfully.
I checked the Forums, the VMware support articles and the internet as I had not seen this problem before. I have completed the VSphere 5.1 - Fast Track course and this issue was NOT covered in the training.
Most of the advice on-line and even that on the VMware web-site was pointing to snapshots being the cause of this issue. There are no snapshots enabled and I cannot see evidence of snapshots ever being used.
- We are running VMware vsphere (5.1.0) and there are (were) 4 virtual machines running on the ESX host. We are using the free version of VMware/ESXi.
- The Hard disk types we are using for this Virtual Machine are 'Thin Provisioned'.
- There are 4 [Thin Provisioned] Hard Disks for this virtual machine.
- There are 6 CPUs
- There is 20GB of RAM (memory)
- The VM is running Windows Server 2008 R2 as the guest/VM operating system. It is an Exchange 2010 SP1 mail server. There is plenty of available disk space on all the drives. The [Exchange] log files are cleaned out regularly (automated).
I decided to move one of our non-critical servers off this host and on to another host to see if this helped the problem. This took quite some time, as we are not using HA or vmotion, nor do we have VCenter Server...nonetheless, I finally managed to get the non-critical server on to another host (n.b. This was a much smaller machine with less virtual resources assigned to it).
After moving the non-critical server off this host, we decided to monitor the Host and see if the issue resolved itself.
I checked the host about 6-10 times a day, from first thing in the morning till last thing at night - monitoring the performance of not only the Virtual Machine, but the ESXi host also.
There were no adverse performance issues. The only thing I did note, was in the Summary page on the ESX Host, under Storage, was If I right-clicked on the datastore and clicked refresh, then the free disk space would drop (ie from 140GB to 125GB).
After monitoring the host and VM for about 2 weeks, we did NOT have another instance of the above error.
Sorry for the long winded post, but I wanted to give as much detail given this error has been raised before and snapshots are usually blamed as the cause.
My question is this:
If the ESX host had plenty of available disk capacity and there were no snapshots enabled on the VM (or any other VM's on the same host), then why did our Virtual machine crash with the error that 'there is not more space for virtual disk Servername_2.vmdk'?
How do we prevent this issue from happening if we don't know the underlying cause?
I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions.
If I have not provided enough info on the specs or environment, please let me know and I will provide more information.
Thanks all,
Kurt

The type of storage is really based on your requirements, and your ability to withstand downtime.
iSCSI as you are using with a NAS such as Synology or QNAP. NAS Selector - Support - Synology - Network Attached Storage (NAS)
I wouldn't use iSCSI for Exchange or any database. It's a bit slow.
Do you have a single physical host? Then I'd probably to an external direct attached storage. This would be a card inserted in your host server that gives you multilane SAS/SATA connectivity (www.techcable.com/SAS-SATA/SAS-SATA.pps) and an external disk enclosure/array.
For multiple hosts to a single array, I recommend a fibre channel connection to a FC capable switch, and on to a FC connected array.
We used to use a HP P2000 (on old G1), but it's since been retired. Worked pretty well once firmware was upgraded. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/disk-storage/product-detail.html?oid=4118559#!tab=features. They can be connected via iSCSI, Fibre Channel or 6GB SAS so they are flexible and reasonably priced.
Recommendations:
     Use RAID 6 with your large disk arrays. With large disks there is a measurable failure rate when rebuilding a failed RAID5 array based on MTBF.
     Use smaller 15K disks in RAID 0+1 for speed on databases/Exchange.
     Use slower 7.2K disks in RAID6 for file storage.
We are a small hospital and we have 3 VMware servers with dual CNA (FC and Ethernet in a single twinax cable) connections to 2 redundant Cisco Nexus 5K switches and then 4 Fibre Channel connections to an EMC VNX 5300. It's extremely fast with about 50 virtual servers, but was quite an investment. One thing we don't have to worry about is down time. If there ever is an equipment failure, we have redundant everything, including power split between two UPSs.
Our VNX has 3 tiers of performance. 3 100GB SSD "Fast Cache" in RAID 1 with hot spare, to keep the most used data ready, but it's not really a tier, however one could be built utilizing the same disks. A second tier is performance tier with a 8 600GB RAID 0+1 and hot spare. The third is a bunch of 7.2K 3TB disks in RAID6. The VNX autotiers, placing data on disks depending on where it's needed. The volumes are sliced and diced automatically in the background to make this happen and we never have to touch it. I used a demo of Solarwinds Storage Manager to monitor performance for a while and the utilization was always low, meaning all data access was fast, througout the day.

MAIL - freeing up space (trashing old attachments)

Hey folks - I thought I remember reading an article in Macworld a few years back about "cleaning up" Mail. That is, freeing up space on your computer by trashing old mail attachments lurking in the SENT and TRASH (and other) mailboxes. Does anyone recall or know how to do this? Thanks!

I didn't read that article but you might find this page helpful

How can I buy more iCloud space when my ipad won't sync and has jammed

How can I buy more icloud space when my ipad won't sync and has jammed. I cannot press settings or close and cannot even turn off?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

I am having a challenge freeing up space

I am having a challenge freeing up space. I have reviewed other discussions and while there are some similarities they do not seem to provide a solution to my issue.

For me it adds up to just a little over 122.85GB. Where does the 201.22GB come from??? It appears that my iMac is showing 80GB of storage space being used that isn't.
When I open up the iMac HD it gives me
Applications 16.74GB
Developer 151KB
Library 9.04GB
System 4.99GB
Am I missing something? How do I determine what is taking up so much space?
Thank you for your help.

Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To really see everything, you have to run it as root.
First, back up all data if you haven't already done so. No matter what happens, you should be able to restore your system to the state it was in at the time of that backup.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal.

How to delete the file with space in name

Hi
I want to delete the file "test ex.txt" file.
i run the following command in command prompt.i can delete the file successfully.
/bin/rm -f /mnt/"test ex.txt"
I want to run the command from java.So i am using the following code
String cmd = "/bin/rm -f /mnt/\"test ex.txt\"";
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
process = rt.exec(cmd);
The file was not deleted.
How to delete the file with space in name?
Help me

Use the form of exec that takes an array of command + args.
arr[0] = "/bin/rm"
arr[1] = "-f"
arr[2] = "/home/me/some directory with spaces";Or use ProcessBuilder, which is the preferred replacement for Runtime.exec, and which Runtime.exec calls.
