is it neccessary to buy an app to clean iphone

There is an app call iMyFone Pro. Is it necessary to purchase this app to clean my phone of all the deleted files, such as deleted photos, messages, etc. out of whatever trash it may go into?


I understand I can clean out the trash in apps like Mail, ets. But after deleting photos out of Photos app, there is no trash can per say to empty.


Thank you


iPhone 6s, iOS 12

You do not need any third party app to clean your iOS devices.


iTunes categorizes cached music, videos, and photos as Other instead of actual songs, videos, or photos. Cached files are created when you stream or view content like music, videos, and photos. When you stream music or video, that content is stored as cached files on your iOS device so you can quickly access it again.

Your iOS device automatically removes cached files and temporary files when your device needs more space.


  1. Go back to Settings and tap General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. If you turned on Find My iPhone, you might need to enter your Apple ID and password.
  2. If asked for your device passcode or Restrictions passcode, enter it. Then tap Erase [device].
