FileBox storage analysis and app cache list

What you can do

Analyze the main space, an unlocked private space or authorized folders in My iPhone/iPad and My iCloud. Review file types, folder sizes, large files and duplicates, then locate their original folders.

The device space can show system-provided total and available device capacity. iCloud analysis totals the logical sizes of authorized files, without showing account quotas.

How to use it

  1. Open Settings → Storage analysis. It starts with the space currently shown in the file list; you can change the selection.
  2. Authorize folders before analyzing device or iCloud spaces. Keep FileBox in the foreground.
  3. Review categories, folders, large files or duplicates, and open locations to organize originals. Duplicate details offer edit mode for removing extra copies after confirmation.
  4. Analyze again after organizing files or changing access. Review Trash and app-wide caches separately on the same page.

Before you start

Device analysis does not scan the entire phone, other apps or system files. iCloud totals include undownloaded items and represent neither local disk usage nor account capacity or remaining quota. Duplicate detection reads downloaded content only. Files not analyzed or that cannot be read count as skipped; scanning does not download every cloud file.

File analysis and app-wide cache totals are separate. Unlock the private space in the current session before viewing it. iCloud duplicate cleanup syncs deletions to other devices; verify the retained copy first. See the duplicate files guide.
