How to free up to 5 gigabytes on the iPhone and iPad, without deleting anything

It sounds implausible, and you will surely come here to find out what kind of divorce, and to write an angry comment. I hasten to upset you (or rejoice) - The title is no deceit.

Attentive readers will remember one of the iOS 9 chips, which was at the hearing in the new mobile operating system release. It's about auto cleaning function - the system automatically deletes to drive various types of garbage and even applications, if not enough free space to download the update file.

This semi-magical feature frees up to 5 gigabytes of free space, depending on the storage volume and the number of installed applications. Annoying drawback is that can only initiate autoclean system itself, the user influence it can not. However, there is one trick ...

iOS will remove debris from your iPhone or iPad, when you need a place for something important, such as for the purchase of content the iTunes Store. Music and games are not suitable due to the small size, are movies. Do not be afraid to buy anything do not have to, do without it.

Go to "Settings» → «Basic» → «The use of storage and iCloud» and check the amount of free space. On my iPad it is almost there, it is available in all 300 megabytes small.

Open the iTunes Store and go to the section "Movies." Choose some long-predlinny film. For example, "The Lord of the Rings."

We verify that the selected movie has a much larger volume than the available free space (in my case - 6.75 GB with 313 MB available), click on "Rent."

iOS will issue a warning about the lack of space and offer to uninstall anything through the settings. Hit "OK".

We wait for about one minute and check the amount of free space. I cleared 1.2 GB. Magic? You could say that.

Now about the nuances. Money from the account can only be written off in the event that you have sufficient funds and lack of available space. A quantity of the liberated gigabytes depending on how many applications are installed. The more applications, the more cache and temporary files will be able to remove the iOS. On 16-gigabyte iPhone I had about 2 GB, this is the average, but it could be as high as 5 GB. If you have very little empty and iPhone application, the result will not be as impressive - about 300-500 MB.
