Icloud Photos and storage space

Hi Otoniel57,

We understand that with less photos and videos, photo storage is taking up more space. Have you recently deleted some photos? If so, some of them may be in the Recently Deleted album.

If you would like to permanently delete those photos, open Photos > tap the Albums tab > tap the Recently Deleted album > tap Select > tap Delete All or select the ones you want to permanently delete > tap Delete again. Any photos that are in the Recently Deleted album, will automatically delete in 30 days.

If you're still seeing photos taking up large amount of storage, review this article: Manage your photo and video storage

Take care.

Hey Otoniel57,

Do you have iCloud Photos enabled? You can check by going to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos? If it is on, tap Manage Storage, locate Photos in the list, and let us know the amount that is showing there. We'd like to compare in order to see if there is a difference between iCloud Storage and Phone storage.

Also, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos, and let us know if "Optimize iPhone Storage" is enabled.

Take care.
