How do I delete iPhone sysdiagnose files?

I have several sysdiagnose files taking up almost a gig on my iPhone after working with Apple to download logs trying to fix the problem. That's all finished, but they didn't tell me how to delete them. Going into "Analytics Data", I can find the files, but iPhone doesn't allow deletion.

Does anyone know how to delete these?

Thank you

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

What is the "iPhone Temporary Files.noindex" folder on my Macintosh? My Macbook Pro (13" 2020) was running low on drive space so I ran Grand Perspective to take a look at what might be going on. I noticed a folder with 10 gigs in is called "iPhone Temporary Files.noindex". The contents are several dmg files (one 6 gb and one 3gb). All dated Jan 9, 2007, 9:41am. I think that was the moment Steve Jobs announced the iPhone. I did update my iPhone to iOS 17, but that 8gb ipsw file is located in the iPhone Software Updates folder. So… What is this folder? Why is it here? And can I delete it or will is, as a temporary file go away on it's own at some point? Thank you.

Please follow this path,

iPhone > Settings > General > iPhone Store > allow time for data to populate > look for the files. You can sort by name or size. If you find them swipe right to left to delete.

If they are not present, the system will automatically delete them overtime.
