My emails are taking up 6gigs of space on my iphone 5s, even though I have deleted them all!?

I have also set my mails to be kept for 1 day only. My storage shows 12.8 GB used and 0 bytes available (its a 16GB phone). I have 4.3GB of music and the balance of apps / messages etc comes to 1248MB. Massive pain as I cannot download updates (IOS 8) or even take a picture.

Hi Ghallsa,
I don't know why you believe that emails would be using 6go if you deleted them all.  I think you concluded this from the available space left and what you know is using space.  You have to understand that what is taking storage space is not only apps, music and emails.  There is also the iOS which is taking space as well as a lot of data cached on your devices that will usually be shown as 'Other' category if you are to look at your space usage from iTunes.
If the total 'Other' space appears excessive, I suggest you should 'restore' your device (after a full recent backup); this sometimes helps to remove any data left behind.  But before this, try a look at Settings->General->Usage->Manage Storage.  This will list apps from the most space consuming to the less.  It could also help you to identify which apps may take to much of your precious space not only by apps size but also from the data the apps had stored.
good luck,

  • Hi, can I move my iTunes library to an external hardrive without having to consolidate it as my prehistoric computer just doesn't have the space even though I have deleted everything possible to make room? Please help :(

    Hi, can I move my iTunes library to an external drive without having to consolidate it as my prehistoric computer just doesn't have enough space even though I have deleted everything possible to make room? Please help

    Hi, do you know if this works if I then want to move my library to a new computer as that is my main intention bacause my old computer hasn't got enough space for me to add new albums so I want to ditch the computer (its got to be about 100 years old and doesn't seem to cope well with modern technology!!) and start using my laptop for my iTunes. I am at the point now where i'm ready to throw both my computer and iPod out the window!!!! I might point out as well that in trying to clear space on my computer I accidently deleted the Bonjour programme which is aparently needed to use the home share option, oops!!!!
    Thanks, Kerry

  • External hard drive has no available space even though i have deleted nearly everything on there

    I have an external hard drive for backups and it has no available space even though i have deleted nearly everything on there. Where is the space?

    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.

  • HT201317 Once photostream pictures are downloaded onto my mac will they stay in iPhoto forever after i have deleted them off of my phone?

    Once photostream pictures are downloaded onto my mac will they stay in iPhoto forever after i have deleted them off of my phone?

    When I synced my iPhone I my Mac , it automatically created a file called photo stream and imported all photos from phone into that file on my Mac.
    Do you mean the "Photo Stream" album in the "Web" section of iPhoto? Like shown here?
    If that is the only place where you are seeing your photos, in "my Photo Stream" in the "Web" section of Photo, then you need to copy these photos to an event to import them into the library.
    The Photo Stream album is only showing you what currently can be imported from iCloud, and the photos will vanish after a month, so you are having a limited time to grab them.
    If you have enabled "Automatic Import" in iPhoto's Photo Stream Preferences, it should already have created an event "July Photo Stream" and other monthly events with the photos from the streams. What find in these monthly events has been savely imported.

  • I watched TV shows in my iPhone, deleted them, but still occupy space in my iPhone! How can I completely delete them?

    I purchased and downloaded 6 episodes of a TV show. I watched them all, then deleted them from iPhone and iPad to free up the space.
    The videos are removed from iPad completely, but when I sync the iPhone the purple bar in iTunes indicates that I still have all the 6 videos! The size of the 6 files and the size of the 6 videos the purple bar indicate are the same. I am not syncing TV shows (Sync TV show isn't selected whenI sync the phone with my computer). How can I completely delete them? 
    Nothing appears in Videos, usage/videos!
    I can't click any TV show to watch in iTunes app either even if I find the same TV shows.
    I have no propblem with iPad, but problem is only with iPhone.
    The videos are not HD.
    Any suggestion to free up the space?
    Thanks!

  • I am trying to setup a new Apple ID but it tells me the email address I want to us is in use even though I have deleted it as the secondary address for mother id

    I Am trying to set up a new AppleID but it tells me the email address I wish to use as the ID is in use.  It was the rescue address for another account but I have deleted that.  What do I need to do to get it to recognise the email address as a new one. I cannot set up iCloud without an ID

    Email addresses can only ever be used once in an Apple ID. They cannot be deleted from one Apple ID and moved to another.

  • ITunes is telling me I don't have enough space to do a backup, even though I have 26 gb free. My iPhone only has 6 gb of stuff on it.

    I tried pointing the backups to a 1tb empty external drive, and it still told me I didn't have enough space. All this to try and fix the problem that I can't connect to the cellular data network with my iPhone 5. So far, I have had an extremely negative experience with this phone.

    know that is BS because it clearly says 3 GB
    Didn't know an iPhone is capable of "BS"! Impressive.  Do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide:  Restart, Reset, Restore.

  • HT4859 When I turn camera roll backup to OFF, and those same photos are on my other devices, will they remain on them, even though icloud will delete them from storage?

    When I turn camera roll backup to OFF, and those same photos are on my other devices, will they remain on them?  I know they will not be on icloud storage,
    but will I still have them on my devices?

    Deleting the icloud backup totally is pretty scary.  If my phone accidentally went swimming, I wouldn't be able to restore all the data with icloud.  I was trying to find a way to delete only old backups (which you say do not exist), or if I could just delete the photos from the backup.  I guess I could delete the icloud backup, switch off the camera roll from backing up, and then do an immediate backup of everything else.  What do you think?
    I am not a good apple person.
    Thanks for your help.

    The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000).   Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space.  I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone.  I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone.  I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this.  Thanks for any help.

  • Storage says apps are taking up too much space!

    in About This Mac > More Info > Storage, my Mac seems to be taking up 48GM in apps!  I can't find what apps are taking up so much space.  I'd like to delete some stuff and free up some space.  I used Daisy Disk to try to see what's taking up space, but that utility says my apps aren't taking up nearly as much.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    See if a reindex of Spotlight corrects the display:

  • Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. How can I increase the storage space?

    Question
    Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. I delete emails from the Inbox and the Sent and Trash boxes to overcome this. How can I increase the storage space to stop this happening?

    Hi terrybohle1938,
    Firefox is a web browser. It provides access to online content. Things like your email are handled by the content provider. Who is your email provider? You'll have better luck consulting their documentation.
    That being said, deleting only email is a great way to free up space. Another option would be to purchase a "Premium" account if your email provider offers this service. Many times more storage space is offered as part of paid subscription.
    Hopefully this helps!
