Bulk screenshot deletion

Clever Cleaner groups screenshots and lets you act on them in bulk. Faster when you trust the grouping.

Watch for this: Bulk delete can remove something you meant to keep. Review before confirming.

Why screenshots pile up so fast

Every receipt, meme, and saved image goes to the camera roll. Screenshots have no separate folder by default. They mix with photos and grow unnoticed.

The fastest fix is an app that surfaces screenshots and lets you review them. Swiped and Swipewipe do that with a swipe flow that keeps the pace high.

The fastest workflow for deleting hundreds of screenshots

Open an app that filters screenshots. Swipe or tap to delete. Do not try to review every one in Photos; it is too slow. Swiped or Swipewipe can clear hundreds in 10–15 minutes.
