iPhone 8: im always warned I have no more space so have to delete videos, close apps, etc. I have put my photos on a stick. Can I now delete all photos and videos on my iPhone?

iPhone 8, iOS 16
Sure…if they’re saved somewhere else, which they obviously are. Bear in mind that they will go into the Recently Deleted folder (where they sit for 30 days before disappearing), so if you want to get rid of them immediately to get the space back, you will need to delete them from there as well. Bearing FURTHER in mind, once they’re gone from Recently Deleted there would be no way to recover them.

Is it safe to delete photos from my iPhone 8 after transferring them?
