You know the moment — you’re scrolling to find that one picture, the good one, the one you know you took. And you scroll. And scroll. Past 47 nearly identical sunset shots, a blurry one of someone’s elbow, and approximately 300 screenshots you meant to revisit.
Or maybe your phone has started sending you that gentle, but unnerving nudge: storage almost full.
Either way, your camera roll is ready for a clearing.
Try this:

-
Go to Screenshots or scroll to the oldest photos and start there.
-
Delete anything blurry, duplicate, or past its purpose. Be a little ruthless.
-
Aim for at least 20 deletions. You might blow past that — and that’s a win.
When your timer goes off, stop. Celebrate the small clearing you just made. If you want to keep going, set another 5 minutes. Otherwise, let that layer be good enough for today.
