1. Check Your Total Usage
Go to Settings > General > Storage & iCloud Usage.
Go to Settings > General > Storage & iCloud Usage.
At the very top, you'll see Used and Available space. Those fields refer to the space on your iPhone or iPad. Below them, you'll see your iCloud space. For the purpose of this article, however, we'll just focus on local storage, the top numbers.
Note that when you add your available space and the used space, they won't add up to the total size of your phone (e.g., a 16GB iPhone may appear to have only about 12.3GB total space) because it doesn't include the space being used by the operating system.
2. Analyze Which Apps Are Taking the Most Space
Tap on Manage Storage. Here you'll see a list of all your apps, in order of how much space they consume.

4. Target Apps You Don't Use
Go back to the Manage Storage page. Scroll through the list of apps and look for apps you don't use. It's much easier to find apps you no longer need here, where they're in a neat list, than on your home screens, where they are likely to be scattered across several pages and bunched into folders.
