How do I clear my Apple Watch storage?

Answered by Michael Wilson

To clear the storage on your Apple Watch, there are a few steps you can take. First, let’s start by removing any media and apps that might be taking up space.

1. Remove Music and Photos:
– Open the Watch app on your iPhone.
– Go to the “My Watch” tab and scroll down to find the “Music” option.
– Tap on “Music” and you will see a list of music synced to your Apple Watch.
– Swipe left on any music you want to remove and tap on the “Delete” button.
– Similarly, scroll down and tap on “Photos” to remove any synced photos from your watch.

2. Update watchOS:
– After freeing up some space, it’s a good idea to check if there is an available watchOS update.
– Open the Watch app on your iPhone and go to the “My Watch” tab.
– Tap on “General” and then select “Software Update”.
– If an update is available, tap on “Download and Install” to update your Apple Watch. Make sure your watch is connected to Wi-Fi and has at least 50% battery life.

3. Remove Apps:
– If you still don’t have enough storage, you can remove some apps from your Apple Watch.
– Open the Watch app on your iPhone and go to the “My Watch” tab.
– Scroll down to find the list of installed apps on your watch.
– Tap on an app you want to remove and toggle off the option “Show App on Apple Watch”.
– You can also rearrange the app layout by pressing and holding an app icon, then dragging it to a different position or to the “X” button to remove it.

By following these steps, you should be able to clear up some storage on your Apple Watch. Remember to regularly review and manage the apps and media you have synced to your watch to keep it running smoothly.
