Photos iPhone app using more than 5 GB of space with very few photos

Hi all.

I decided to get the Apple forums for help regarding a problem that my mother is with her iPhone 6, iOS 9. (I think she just recently updated to the latest iOS operating system 9 as well.)

When my mother going into settings > use (or whatever he says now with iOS 9.0) > manage storage, it shows his Photos and the camera are well more than 5 GB, although it has only 100 or so photos in the camera roll. Recently deleted folder is empty, everything has been removed from it.

Now, I had the same problem just now, where I had very few photos but I apparently got 3GBs is photo taking my storage space. I looked online and found that the problem could be the photos to try to load it on the library to iCloud? I don't use this feature, but someone had recommended to go into settings > iCloud > Photos > click on iCloud photo library and then turn it off. Miraculously for me that works to get rid of 2 + space GB of Photos & camera on my iPhone. It is as if it were an invisible compensation cache of photos or something.

I attempted to try this technique of "turn on the library to iCloud and then clear it" even on my mother's phone, but every time I clicked on, she says there is not enough space storage iCloud. She has a limit of 5 GB, but has about 5.9 GB of photos apparently cached somewhere.

Finally, my question is, is there a way to delete this absurd amount of space which is be resumed without the need to restore to factory settings?

Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

Make sure you first what iCloud p. l. is off his phone. Then try to reset the Photos App close pictures completely from the window of the selector app by double clicking the Home button and slide up the photo preview pane until it disappears from the display. Then perform a forced reboot. Hold down the home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds , until the Apple logo appears.

If this is not enough, you may need to do a restore. You can do a restore of backup first and not come back again or factory. It is possible that the backup can be damaged, and if so a restore as new would be your next option but try to restore everything first from a backup.

I hope that the steps described in the first paragraph will take care of him.

  • ReadyBoost will not use more than 2 GB 'Cache space used' on 4 GB ReadyBoost.sfcache file

    Windows 7 64 bit on a computer laptop 4 GB.

    I have a card SD of 2 4 GB dedicated to ReadyBoost, connected via USB2.   I tried to format the card as NTFS and exFAT and in both cases, Windows may correctly fill in the card with a ReadyBoost.sfcache file, which is about 3.8 GB (card is dedicated to ReadyBoost).
    =============
    (Pasted image in - did not show when I introduced first)

    =============
    The problem is that no matter how long the system running, perfmon displays 'Cache space used' is always less than 2 GB.
    He goes up regularly in the first ten minutes after enabling readyboost, then levels: less than 2 GB:

    =============
    (Pasted image in - did not show when I introduced first)

    =============
    (Of course the "put bytes in cache" are greater because of the compression.)   But it seems to use only about 1/2 of the 4 GB cache file.
    I tried to adjust to only use a 2000Mo cache file size, and then 'Cache space used' would not exceed 1.4 GB.

    Am I something wrong or bad what do the numbers mean or is it an inherent limitation of ReadyBoost due, for example, General fresh metadata in the cache file?

    As I frequently have max on my use of memory and I can not install more than 4 GB, I had significant performance gains when he might have already spent several minutes, beating the pagefile.   I hope to see even more benefits with a bigger Readyboost cache if possible.   I would also like to solve this problem before investing in a larger and more efficient card.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Hi Jeff,

    In some situations, you might not be able to use all of the memory on your device to speed up your computer. For example, some flash memory devices contain both slow and fast flash memory, but ReadyBoost can only use fast flash memory to speed up your computer.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/using-memory-storage-device-speed-computer#1TC=Windows-7

    Computers with discs hard fast (such as 7 200 or 10 000 rpm disks) could achieve minimum performance gains due to the already high disk i/o ReadyBoost. will read the files from the cache only when this so will improve performance. Hard drives surpass flash in sequential reading drives, but flash drives are faster when no sequential reads (because of the latency caused when the drive head must move to a different disk sector). As a result, ReadyBoost reads from the cache only for non sequential reads

  • Windows 10 using more than 5 GB of space to host when running on Fusion 7.1.2

    I lose 5 GB of disk space on my main drive when I start my Windows 10 VM Fusion 7.1.2. When I go down below 5 GB of free space on my host, Fusion stops the virtual machine because there is not enough space on the left. So, I have to have more than 10 GB free on my host drive to run my virtual machine. It's hard to swallow on a MacBook Air with a 256 GB SSD when the virtual machine is already more than 50 GB.

    Is this normal and I just never noticed during execution of Fusion 6 and Windows 8.1, or is there a way to stop him from taking so much space?

    Hello

    It depends a bit on how much RAM you have assigned to the virtual machine. If you set 5 GB of RAM to the virtual machine and then Fusion will create a file of 5 GB drive at startup to save this RAM. There are the vmx settings to disable this function, but it is not recommended or supported.

  • Update iPhone 6 s more than 64 GB to 128 GB?

    I want to spend a moment alone used iPhone 6 s more than 64 GB to 128 GB? I only used once and has decided, I need the 128 GB. There always care of apple for 2017 and I have all the accessories, unused.

    Thank you

    Unless you bought it within the last 14 days, you won't have to get full value for the Apple phone. You are better off selling yourself and using the product to a new phone.

  • Can I use more than one flash drive to ready boost on Satellite L650/0ed

    Hello

    I have a toshiba Satellite L650/0ed, it's good if I use more than one drive 8 GB flash for "ready boost" - what is the maximum number of using flash-drives can devote to the "ready-boost.

    In addition, if I use a 16 gb flash drive, will this affect more memory "ready boost".

    Why the 3.5 drive seagate expansion 1 TB is not compatible for ready-boost.

    Thank you
    -Brent907

    Hi mate

    Please check this Microsoft page that describes the ReadyBosst
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/ReadyBoost

    There, you can find this statement:
    + ReadyBoost works with storage devices more flash. In Windows 7, it can handle more memory and even multiple devices * eight *, for a maximum of 256 GB of additional memory. +

    I hope this can be useful!

    The national Instrument is reformat that you drive less than 126 GB or replace the drive with a less than this size.

    Please OR tell me you go fix your LabVIEW Real Time soon, and that we will not have to wait for LabVIEW RT 9.2.1 in 2011 for this one to fix.

    http://upload.wikimedia.org/Wikipedia/Commons/9/90/Hard_drive_capacity_over_time.svg

    Readers as high as 126 GB or more have been around since mid-2002.  It's about 7 years now and LabVIEW Real-time STILL cannot use greater than 126 GB drives!  Please OR.  Do something.

    We deserve the patches for older versions of LabVIEW RT.  What about updates to LabVIEW RT.  As 7.0.2 7.1.2 7.6.2, 8.0.2, 8.2.2, 8.6.2.

    We don't need new features or versions of LabVIEW RT as 9.0 until we have some of the bugs fixed in existing versions.

  • How to activate my MSF program for I could use more than 30 minutes at a time

    I had to uninstall my Microsoft Flight Simulator X and MSF - program of acceleration of my PC and reinstall them.  I did it.  When I installed FSX-Deluxe edition, the program asked me the activation number, I gave and then reinstalled the acceleration program. He asked for all the numbers, but now when I run the program, it suits me after 30 minutes then and asks for the active program.  I tried to use the Enternet and everything, but I can't well any place where I can activate this program.  I even call your hotline, they were of no help at all.  First I did not understand that you are Tech. He talked so fast and has no sense at all.  My question is: How can I activate the program? without going to halfway around the world to do. I never had this problem in the past, why now?
