How to remove junk files on iPhone 5s?

First of all, I'm just wondering if it's possible for me to view the junk files on my device (iPhone 5s).
If Yes, how? or do I need any software to view and be able to delete it?
When I say junk files, I mean those files (takes so much space) which created by the installed apps but it has no longer installed on the device.

Hello there, Raminister.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great information in regards to orphaned files and how to solve issues with them on your iOS device:
iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
Restore using iTunes.

  • How to remove "other" files from iphone memory

    Concerning how the memory is used on the Iphones under the "other" category, I have found that the biggest culprit is text messages that include photos and videos sent and received. Think about it, when you take a picture and then send it, even though you delete it from your camera roll, it is still necessary to hold in memeory as being part of the text history. It is only removed from the phone when you delete it from the text message as well. This also applies to text messages received. This is a large hidden area to most people!
    good luck.

    Restore the iOS.  You may have to do this as a new phone (without using a backup).  Note that "other" contains messages and emails - if you have a lot of these, especially with photos/videos, that would account for the other usage.

    Hey there Matt.dvs1,
    Although there is not a way to remove past purchases from your iTunes account completely, you can hide them so that you don't have to see them if you don't want to. This article will help you do that:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    Hide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
    Choose a content type by clicking Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from the top of the window.
    A list of your purchased items for the content type you are viewing will appear. Mouse over the item you want to hide until an X appears its top-left corner.
    A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the X.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation bcoz of earlier files

    How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation of the new version because of the existance of files from the previous version.plz help

    What "app cleaner software" ? I ask because installing Photoshop over a previous version has never been a problem. Perhaps your difficulty stems from another source, eg. "cleaner software" ?
    If you look in your hard drive, at the root level there is a Library. In there is a folder called Application Support, and in that you will find a folder called Adobe. Files from your previous version are there.
    However, I urge you to call Adobe support to make sure you are not doing anything that would mess up other Adobe applications.

  • How to remove bad file?

    hi
    I am creating external table to import csv file into table...I put csv file in this directory(c:\temp1\hr.csv)...while importing, the bad file and text document are created..Actually the client does not require this....Can anyone say how to remove those files while importing?
    Fazila

    First of all bad file contains those record information which is rejected for any specific reason. So, you can get some valuable information regarding the rejected records. But, still if you don't want to keep it - then you can do it with a java based procedure. I don't thinki you can do it directly through any oracle procedure. Because, you are about to access the o/s system files. I don't think that can be done directly using Oracle Pl/SQL - which i'm not sure.

    If it is a security issue, you will probably need to implement a custom dialog and actively filter for file types.  No matter what pattern you have showing, the user can type a pattern into the dialog and get anything they want.  In addition, file extension is not sufficient to determine file type.  You should probably check the file itself to ensure it is an HTML file and does not have any embedded nastiness.
    Fortunately, custom dialogs are easy to make.  Using the event structure, you can filter inputs as well, so that only HTML files will be accepted.  Good luck.  Let us know if you need more help.
