Manage clutter

(Updated: )

With CleanMy®Phone, you can quickly free up space on your device by removing all kinds of clutter—duplicates, blurred shots, screenshots, videos, and more. To get started:

  1. On the tab bar, tap Declutter.

    If you open CleanMy®Phone for the first time after installation, you have to scan your photo library—tap Scan, grant full access to Photos, then wait for the process to finish.

    Next time you open the app, it'll automatically spot and show new media files in Photos (if any). Also, CleanMy®Phone monitors and detects any newly added photos and videos when it runs in the background.

  2. Review contents of the clutter categories found:

    1. Tap a category to open it.

    2. Browse items—select those to delete and deselect ones to keep.

    3. If you need to take a closer look at a specific item, tap it to view full screen.

      In the full-screen view, you can enhance the item slightly (for photos only), add to an album or Favorites, view metadata, share, or save to Sensitive so it's ignored in future scans.

    4. Once you finish reviewing:

      • Tap Clean, then tap Delete to remove the selected items in the currently viewed category; or

      • Tap the Close button (x) in the upper-left corner to go back to scan results and continue with other categories—all your selections in the currently viewed category will be preserved.

    5. Repeat these steps for all categories.

      If you want to skip some of the categories entirely, deselect them.

  3. After you've reviewed all categories, tap Clean, then tap Delete to confirm your choice.

Finally, check the results to see how much space you've reclaimed.
