I don't know whether I was reading something that you linked to me, unison; or some comment else where....
But a friend texts me a lot of vids, along w comments etc.
I keep a lot of my phone texts.
It dawned on me and I deleted all of her texts (which included the vids).
I went from 97% used storage down to 76%! Yay.
Oh, I'll work on getting rid of some more screebgrabs, and delete new vids... but wow. 😄👍
