One week ago i got a 32gb ipad. Excited for the new toy, I took hundreds of stupid photos with that 720p front webcam using photobooth, downloaded them from icloud, deleted them, and now they’re in the trash.

Now the ipad is complaining it’s full memory. Full memory? What? Already? I barely used it. I investigated the issue and saw that photos are taking 4gb.

4gb? How? Saw on icloud there’s not that usage on photos:

empty icloud

The pics i took were 720p images, when i downloaded them from icloud they were like 50mb in total

Uncompressed lossless caches of old photos? How to fix this?

    You have to empty the trash. Also turn off the ”live” photos, turn off sending statistics to Apple, turn on off loading unused apps. sync with iTunes on a computer every week or so. this will clear the system/crash logs out of memory.
