Clean NinjaClean Ninja finds the clutter hiding in your gallery and helps you safely remove it.
It is almost never one big file. It is eleven frames of the same jump, a Live Photo that quietly carries three seconds of video, screenshots you needed for ten seconds in 2023, and the 4K clip you have never watched twice. Your phone keeps all of it and sorts none of it, so the space disappears quietly, and the only warning you get is the one that arrives when you are trying to take a photo.
Clean Ninja starts by naming the number. One scan, on the device, and your library stops being a single 64 GB blob and becomes a list of decisions you can actually make.
Clean Ninja reads your library on the phone and works out what is duplicated, what is a screenshot and what is simply enormous. Nothing is uploaded to be analysed.
Every group arrives pre-selected with the keeper already chosen, and every item shows its size. Change any of it. Nothing is selected on your behalf that you cannot undo.
One confirmation from the system, and the selection moves to your phone's trash. It sits there for 30 days, so a change of heart costs you nothing.
Not one vague "optimise" button. Five kinds of clutter, each with its own screen, its own count and its own number in gigabytes, plus one button that handles the obvious cases for you.
Clean Ninja compares your photos and puts the near-identical ones into a single group. One frame is marked Best and stays; the rest are pre-selected to go. Disagree with the pick and you can change it, or leave the whole group alone.
Groups are built on the device. Deleting is part of Pro.
Receipts, boarding passes, half a conversation, a recipe. Screenshots are the cheapest thing to lose and the easiest to forget you have. Clean Ninja lists them all in one place, newest or largest first, and keeps whatever you have favourited.
908 screenshots is a normal number. So is 1.2 GB.
Every Live Photo carries about three seconds of video behind the still, and most of those seconds are the phone coming out of a pocket. Clean Ninja lists them as their own category, so you can keep the picture and drop the motion.
Sorted by size, biggest first, because that is the order that pays. A single 4K clip can outweigh a thousand photos. Keep the ones that matter and compress them instead of deleting them: same clip, a fraction of the gigabytes.
You see the saving for every preset before you commit to any of them.
For everything an algorithm should not decide for you. One photo at a time, left to delete and right to keep, twenty at a sitting or a whole month if you are in the mood. The last card is always undoable.
Marked photos land in a review list before anything is deleted.
Clean Ninja gathers every duplicate group, keeps one good shot from each, adds the screenshots and Live Photos you have not favourited, and shows you the total before it touches anything. It is the same review as doing it by hand, collapsed into one screen and one tap.
Restore anything within 30 days.
Phone Health watches how fast your library is growing and turns it into a date. Memory, battery health, heat and CPU sit next to it, so the storage warning stops being a surprise and starts being a schedule.
Estimated from a year of usage data. May differ from iOS Settings.
When the cleanup finishes, Clean Ninja tells you exactly what it freed and where it went. Removed files sit in your phone's trash for 30 days. Empty that trash and the space is yours again for good.
A cleaner has to read your whole library to be any use, which is exactly why it should not send it anywhere. Clean Ninja does the work on the device, hands the delete to the system, and leaves you a month to change your mind.
Scanning stays on your phone. Your photos are not uploaded to be analysed.
The system asks before anything goes. Every delete runs through the phone's own dialog.
Nothing is gone for 30 days. Deleted items wait in your phone's trash.
On most phones the photo library is the largest thing on the device, and most of it is repetition: bursts of near-identical shots, Live Photos carrying three seconds of video each, screenshots kept for a few seconds two years ago, videos never watched twice. Nothing on the phone groups those for you, so the gigabytes stay invisible until the storage warning turns up.
Start with the photo library: it is usually both the biggest and the easiest to cut. Clean Ninja scans it on the device, groups the duplicates, lists your screenshots and sorts videos by size, then shows what each group costs in gigabytes. You pick what goes, and Android asks for confirmation before anything is removed. It needs Android 11 or later, and installing it and reviewing your library costs nothing.
Photos and videos are almost always the biggest thing on an iPhone, and Live Photos quietly double the cost of a picture by storing video with it. Clean Ninja scans the library on the device and splits it into Similar Photos, Videos, Live Photos and Screenshots with a size against each, so you can start with whichever is largest. Deleted items go to Recently Deleted and stay recoverable for 30 days.
Clean Ninja compares the photos in your library and puts near-identical shots into one group, with the best frame marked to keep. Accept the suggestion, change which frame stays, or skip the group. Only what you leave selected is deleted.
Yes. A Live Photo stores a short video alongside the still, so it costs several times what the same picture would on its own. Clean Ninja lists them as their own category, so you can keep the still and drop the motion where you do not need it.
No. Clean Ninja reads your library on the device to work out what is similar and what is large. Your photos are not uploaded to be analysed.
Yes, for 30 days. Confirmed items move to your phone's trash — Recently Deleted on iPhone, the gallery trash on Android — which keeps them for 30 days before removing them for good. Emptying that trash is the step that actually frees the space.
Installing it and reviewing your whole library is free, so you can see exactly what you would get back before paying anything. Deleting is part of Clean Ninja Pro.
Yes. Clean Ninja: Storage Cleaner is on the App Store and needs iOS 16 or later. The Android app is on Google Play and needs Android 11 or later. Both are free to install and free to review your whole library.
Free to install and to review your whole library. Deleting is part of Clean Ninja Pro.
