Part 1. Smart Space-Releasing from Home Interface

As to the five powerful functions, you can start with whichever one you prefer. Let's first take a look at the junk files function.

 

 

1.1 Clean up Junk Files

Click "Clean" and the software will list all the junk files in your iDevice. Then select the files you want to delete and click "Clean" again in the lower right corner to start the cleaning process.

 

Note: Junk files clean-up for third party apps is currently only available for iOS 8.2 and below.

After cleaning, you will see how much space has been released and how much more can be released by other functions as the below interface shows. Choose any part to continue.

 

Next, let's look at clearing the temporary files.

 

 

1.2 Erase Temporary Files

Click "Clean" on home interface and the cleaning process will begin immediately. Generally, the amount of time needed will depend on how many temporary files your iDevice has. But iMyFone Umate will estimate and show the time needed, and you can stop the cleaning process at any time.

 

After clearing, the specific amount of space saved will be displayed.

 

 

1.3 Compress Photos Losslessly or Delete Photos

Function 1: Compress photos losslessly

The photo compression won't affect your photos, and the original quality will be preserved when you share them on SNS. Up to 75% of your camera space can be saved. The window below will show you what the compressed photos would look like.

 

Click “Clean” button beside the category of "Photos" at the scan results interface, and then click "Backup & Compress". You’ll be directed to browse and select a target folder on your computer to back up. Then tap ”OK” to start the Backup & Compress process.

 

All your original photos will however first be backed up and exported to your PC.

 

Then the compression process will begin, which can free up to 75% of your iOS storage space.

 

The photo compression process will never ruin your photos. Except for the size, there is absolutely no difference between the original photo and the compressed version.

After compression, the program will show you how much space has been reclaimed. Now, you won't be troubled any more with no space to save all your favorite pictures.

 

Function 2: Export and Delete Photos

If there are too many photos, you can delete some. Click "Export & Delete ", the photo previews are arranged according to date.

 

Select unwanted photos, then you can click "Export & Delete" to export your photos to PC and delete them from your iOS device. If you only want to backup your photos, you can click "Export Only". Both of the two options will allow you to customize a location to save the photos on your computer. Once you select a location, click “OK” to proceed.

 

When the "Export & Delete" process is finished, you will see how much storage space has been reclaimed.

 

 

1.4 Delete Large Files

After compression, the program will show you how much space has already been reclaimed and you can continue to release more by deleting large files with a click on "Clean".

 

The iPhone cleaner will scan your iPhone and find all the videos over 5MB.

 

Select them and click "Back up & Delete", iMyFone Umate will allow you to set a location from your computer to save the selected large files. Then click on "OK", it will back up all the selected files to your PC and then delete them from your iOS device.

 

 

1.5 Remove Unused Apps

The last part of the process is to managing your app space. Click "Clean" on home interface, iMyFone Umate will list all your apps according to the space they occupy. To release more storage space, you can select those unused apps to be removed.

 

 

After removing, iMyFone Umate will show you how much space has been reclaimed. Click "Continue" to uninstall more apps or click "Done" to check out the total amount of space released.

 

Do you want to keep all of your apps? If so, it is still a good idea to see how much space they are taking up on your device.
