Tools for This Step
Slidebox App (Optional)
If swiping feels easier than tapping, Slidebox lets you swipe up to delete and left or right to sort into albums. You don't need it -- but if friction is slowing you down, it helps.
Download Slidebox →Remember: your Recently Deleted folder is your safety net.
Anything you delete during this process sits in Photos → Collections → Utilities → Recently Deleted for 30 days. If you change your mind, you can get it back.
