đ¸ Why Photo Clutter Gets Out of Control
Screenshots, duplicates, random memes, blurry shots⌠it adds up fast.
Between iCloud, Google Photos, and camera rolls, most people are carrying thousands of images they donât even want. And cloud storage fills up shockingly fast.
Good news: today is all about bringing order back to your digital memories.
đ§˝ Step 1: Start With Your Camera Roll
Scroll back 2â3 months and look for:
- Duplicates
- Blurry shots
- Accidental photos
- Screenshots you donât needDelete freely â these add no value and take tons of space.
đĄ Pro tip: Search for âScreenshots,â âSelfies,â âBursts,â or âVideosâ to clean categories in bulk.

Donât overthink it â aim for clarity:
- Family
- Pets
- Trips
- Events
- Work / DocumentsThis makes finding photos fast and also helps future you during tax season, holidays, and big moves.
âď¸ Step 3: Clean Up Your Cloud Storage
Pick one cloud platform and stick to it moving forward:
- iCloud Photos for Apple users
- Google Photos for cross-platform
- OneDrive if you live in the Microsoft ecosystem
Remove duplicates, large videos, and old device backups.
These are the biggest space hogs.
đ Step 4: Turn On Automatic Backup
Make sure your photos are backed up â but only once.
Turn off auto-backup in the services youâre NOT using to avoid duplicates and wasted space.
đ§ Step 5: Monthly Maintenance
Set a simple habit:
On the 1st of every month, delete the junk from last month.
A 3-minute cleanup prevents a 3-hour disaster later.
