Empty the hidden trash folder in WhatsApp on Android

WhatsApp does not offer a visible trash, but you can manually delete hidden files: 

 

Steps:

1. Open your file manager (sometimes called “My Files”, “Files” or “Manager”).
2. Follow this path: Internal Storage > Android > Media > com.whatsapp > WhatsApp > Media
3. Open folders like “WhatsApp images”, “WhatsApp videos”, “Sent” ...
4. Delete any files that you no longer want to keep.

This step allows for a thorough cleanup that can release several hundred megabytes!

Delete Hidden WhatsApp Files on iPhone (iOS)

1. Delete files from the WhatsApp app

Even if you do not have direct access to the internal files of WhatsApp on iOS, unlike Android, you can still do a comprehensive cleanup:

• Open WhatsApp .
• Go to Settings > Storage and Data > Manage Storage.
• You see here:
  • The most space-consuming discussions.
  • Large files (videos, documents, etc.).
• Tap each conversation, and then select:
  • Select > Select All > Delete .

This way, you can manually delete unnecessary media files, including “sent”, which WhatsApp often saves twice.

Also, remember to empty the WhatsApp cache

The cache is a collection of temporary files designed to speed up the application. But the more they accumulate, the slower the application becomes.

How to empty it:

1. Go to Settings > Apps > WhatsApp
2. Tap Storage
3. Tap on “Empty cache”

Don’t worry: your messages or important files will not be deleted. Just unnecessary temporary data.

Use the Manage Storage feature in WhatsApp

WhatsApp has a very useful tool for sorting your files:

1. Open the app
2. Go to Settings > Storage & Data > Manage Storage

   You will see:

   • Multiple shared files
   • Large files (videos, audios, documents)
   • The space occupied by each conversation

   So you can sort quickly and easily.

   With these tips, you can make your phone smoother and more responsive again. A little digital cleaning and your WhatsApp works like new again.
