My messages are taking up space on my iphone even after I delete them.

I delete my text messages and afterwords they are still taking up the same amount of space when I check my usage on my phone. I have turned of spotlight search, synced to iTunes and none of that has worked.

The only option I see is to restore your phone as new to removed the save message in usage.
I have about 6.7 gb of saved messaged, I've done all the troubleshooting steps and only a restore will get rid of it.

  • Why are my emails coming back to my inbox after I delete them?

    After I delete emails off of my phone they come back into the inbox the next time I go to my email. Does anyone know what I can do to keep them off my phone once deleted?

    Your email account must be a POP type, and you have it set NOT to delete the email from the server when deleting from your inbox.  The email remains on your server and gets sent to your inbox again when it's remove from there.  POP accounts are not designed to send to more than one email client.

  • Photos are taking up space on my iPhone, but I have no photos.

    When I sync my 16GB iPhone 4 to my MacBook Pro, the bar at the bottom shows that it is currently holding over 5GB of photos. I have only a few hundred from the camera, and none from iPhoto on my Mac. This is preventing me from syncing music and other files to my device, and it's becoming extremely inconvenient... Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this issue or ideas about why this might be happening? Thanks in advance.

    Do you have any lengthy videos in your Camera Roll that could be causing your problem?
    If not, the issue may be a software glitch that could be resolved by updating your software to the newest version, 4.2.8.
    I hope this helps.

    I have iO7 something, which I'm really not fond of either....any way after the photo/album deleting...I'd like to find out how to get rid of this update

    Assuming you are using iTunes 11.1:
    Connect your iPhone to your computer.
    In iTunes towards the upper right of your screen you will see the name of your iPhone. Click on it (not the eject symbol.
    This will open a series of windows with tabs.
    Select the tab for photos.
    Untick the ones you do not want on your iPhone and at the bottom right click on Apply.
    They will be removed.

  • I understand that many versions of any pictures are still on my computer (Masters???).  If I have a final I like, how do I delete all the others that are taking up space?

    I understand that many versions of any pictures are still on my computer (Masters???).  If I have a final I like, how do I delete all the others that are taking up space?  I have already put the originals into albums, edited them, and renamed them.  Can I/should I delete all other versions located in Masters, I think?  If I want to keep events, but want them to include the newly edited albums, can I delete the specific event and somehow bring the photos used in the album into a new event.  Understand iPhoto just keeps space or manages photos, so how can I have events that include the edited pix and clean up disk space.  Thanks.
    iPhoto 11 v9.4.2
    using Lion, updated, on iMac Pro.

    It's very simple. If you want to use iPhoto, just let it manage things as it does. Other than that: Export from iPhoto and delete the image from iPhoto. That will remove the master and all versions.
    If space is an issue... use an external disk.
    Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

  • My (shared) iMessages are taking up almost all my iPhone storage. Is there a way to remove them to clear up some space on my phone?

    My (shared) iMessages are taking up almost all my iPhone storage. Is there a way to remove them to free up space on my phone?

    Thx - the videos are on my Ipad - that is the problem - they are taking up all the storage and there is no room for anything else. Is there any place I can store them so that I can access them from time to time, but not have they use up all the space on the IPad? Sounds like the cloud is out...

  • Photos on my iPad 3 are taking up space without any photos on it

    Photos on my iPad 3 are taking up space without any photos on it. Photo Stream has been off for months, I deleted every photo on it and it still says I have 735 megs of photos. Anyone know what to do? iPad 3, Wifi, iOS 6.1.2

    Follow this closely if you really want to sync with computer. Otherwise you may lose all your data.

  • HT4914 I have iTunes Match. Why is music still taking up space on my iPhone?

    I just purchased iTunes Match. Why is my music still taking up space on my iPhone?

    If you have iTunes Match, yes the idea of that is that you have access to all your music from anywhere. If you access it though you will be downloading it, in order to play the music you have chosen to play, once downloaded, that music will stay on your device unless you delete it.
    Music that is on your phone will show up as normal, music that is only in the cloud will have a cloud icon next to it, when downloaded the cloud icon will disappear, if you delete it again the cloud icon will disappear again.
    In the example below, all my albums by Matt Schofield are on my phone, the others would need downloading.
    Photo's are different they kept on your device and only synced to the cloud so they can be pushed to other devices.

  • Ok, What is all this "other" taking up space on my iphone and how do I get rid of it? It's taking up almost half the space on my phone.

    Ok, What is all this "other" taking up space on my iphone and how do I get rid of it? It's taking up almost half the space on my phone.

    "Other" includes data such as iPhone settings, contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks/cache/cookies, email and email attachments, SMS/MMS/iMessages, notes, app data, Safari cache, cookies and bookmarks, stored passwords, search index, home screen organization, wi-fi network data, etc.  It should normally be about 1 GB.  Yours in an indication there may be corrupt data on your phone.
    Unfortunately the best solution to fix your issue is a restore. Back up your phone, then restore it using iTunes.  Follow this guide:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414.

  • Iphone says messages is taking up 6GB of storage, even after I deleted all my messages. What is wrong?

    iphone says messages is taking up 6GB of storage, even after I deleted all my messages. What is wrong? This is preventing me from downloading the most recent iOS, not to mention numerous other things.  Thanks for any help! I am at a loss of what to do.

    For that much storage being taken up the only thing that can be done as of now is back the device up in iTunes and restore the iphone.  The restore will also update the phone.

  • My contacts and whats app messages are shown on my sister's iphone! How can I secure my iphone and have a high level of security and privacy! Her Contacts are shown in my iphone as well!!

    I have and iphone 6 with iOS 8.1. My contacts and whats app messages are shown on my sister's iphone! She have iPhone 6 and and iOS as well. How can I secure my iphone and have a high level of security and privacy! Her Contacts are shown in my iphone as well! Setting in mac and iphone are a bit presice and sensitive. Is there any way to solve my issue and increase the safety, security and privacy in my iPhone and its data?

    Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device.  Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud.  If someone deletes them, they are gone.  If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

  • Why is it that 393 photos are taking up 10gb on my iphone 5?

    Why is it that 393 photos are taking up 10gb on my iphone 5?

    How did you determine that?  Does your Camera Roll also include videos?  They are photos and videos are lumped together under "Usage."
