As on the iPhone to reduce the section "System" volume
Ios / / December 20, 2019
For some time now in iOS disk usage statistics include the item "System", showing how the volume takes the OS itself and its supporting files. This category also includes temporary data, various cache and other such things. To check how much the "System" takes you, go to "Settings» → «Basic» → «Storage the iPhone" and scroll to the bottom.
Usually about 7 GB is employed, although often section swells up to 20 GB or more. In theory, it will cleared after the device is reset, but sometimes it does not. And the system garbage and continues to hang dead weight. There are obvious and pretty funny way to reduce the section "System", almost without doing anything. All we need - is the cable and a computer with iTunes. Here is a plan of action:
- Run the program.
- Connect your iPhone to your computer using a cable.
- Click on "Trust this computer" on iOS-device screen.
- Just wait 5-10 minutes.
- Turn off your iPhone and check whether the reduced section "System".
No need to sync your device with iTunes and do something to push. Simply plug the gadget and wait. On 16-gigabyte iPhone 6 was the result, but not very impressive: See "System" has decreased by only 740 MB. On gadgets with a large internal memory capacity can be obtained more impressive increase - from 2 to 10 GB.
Keep in mind that if your device has a beta version of iOS 12, the method may not work. I, at least, it did not work. iTunes finds errors, informing about the need to upgrade the software, but after checking the updates did not find any.
