how do i delete the phone documents and data in my I phone 17 pro.

I deleted the voicemails and the call history and nothing changed, it’s taking up a lot of space.

Whatever is using that space it isn’t voicemails.


Do you have a lot of blocked phone numbers? Although even if you had thousands it would not account for almost 3GB.


My documents & Data for Phone is 3.3 MB.


This might indicate storage corruption; you can try backing up the iPhone, then restoring the backup.
