Once I've scanned something using my phone is there a way to get it on the computer to save phone space?

Yes. The scan is saved as a PDF in the note you started it in. You can export the scan from the Notes App and then send it to your computer any number of ways.


Open the scan in the notes App, then tap on the share icon at the top, and then select a way to export it. You can then delete the note to save space.

The Files App: link-> Use the Files app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Email if its small enough.
