All your deleted data is still saved on your iPhone, even though you cannot see it. iMyFone Umate Pro offers you an efficient way to free up iDevice space and protect your privacy on iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch.
Note: To erase data in any erasing mode, including “Erase All Data”, “Erase Deleted Files”, “Erase Private Data” and “Erase Private Fragments”, please turn off “Find My iPhone” first. This is not required when you use “One Click to Free Up Space” mode.
Part 1. One Click to Free Up Space
iMyFone Umate Pro allows you to release space just with one click. It has five powerful functions: Clean up junk files, Erase temporary files, Compress photos losslessly or backup and delete the photos, Delete large files and Remove unused apps.
