There's nothing worse than trying to download the newest app you're excited about, and finding out that you're out of storage space. Luckily, iOS 11 comes with a handy feature that makes clearing out your device a breeze. Here's how to use it.
First, you'll need to have downloaded iOS 11. Go do that if you haven't. It's pretty neat.
Next, navigate to Settings > General > iPhone Storage. Here, you'll see exactly how much space is being taken up by all the media on your phone: Apps, Photos, Media (songs and videos), and everything else.

Under your recommendations, you'll see a list of your apps and how much space each one is taking up. By clicking the apps individually, you'll be able to edit and delete their data.
