2. Select “General” from Settings.

3. Tap on the “iPhone Storage” option under General.

4. Wait and you will see all apps on your iPhone sorted according to their data. 

5. The heaviest app occupying most of the storage will be at first number and others will also be in descending order. 

6. Select an app you want to delete, and tap on it.

7. You will now see two options, one will be “Offload App”, another will be “Delete App”. 

8. Select “Delete” if you want to delete that app including its data. If you want to keep the data of that app on your iPhone then use “Offload App”. 

NOTE:- The data will automatically be restored into that all if you offload it now and then download it in the future. You can’t manually see or open that data or files until you reinstalled that app.
