Why Screenshots Take Up Space on iPad
Screenshots — screen captures that pile up quickly — are one of the most common storage wasters on the iPad. Each one averages 1-3MB each, and they accumulate silently over weeks and months of normal use.
On a iPad with 64GB of total storage, even a few hundred screenshots can consume a significant percentage of your available space.
How to Manually Delete Screenshots
Open the Photos App
Launch the Photos app on your iPad and go to your Library.
Browse and Select
Manually scroll through your photos looking for screen captures that pile up quickly. Tap Select and choose each one.
Delete Selected
Tap the trash icon to move selected items to Recently Deleted.
The manual method works but is extremely time-consuming. For a library with thousands of photos, it could take hours to find all screenshots.
