How to delete old screenshots on iPhone
In Photos, open Media Types → Screenshots. Tap Select, drag across the rows to pick many at once, and tap the bin. Do the same for Screen Recordings, which take far more space.
Delete screenshots in bulk
- Open Photos and scroll down to Media Types (on iOS 17, Albums → Media Types).
- Tap Screenshots. The oldest are at the top.
- Tap Select, then drag your finger across and down the grid to select many at once.
- Tap the bin and confirm.
Don't forget
- Screen Recordings, in the same Media Types list: a minute of recording can be larger than hundreds of screenshots.
- Recently Deleted: the space comes back only when it is emptied, after 30 days or when you tap Delete All.
