Why videos dominate storage
A few minutes of 4K video can outweigh hundreds of photos. Screen recordings and slow-motion clips are frequent, quiet contributors to a full device.
Compress vs. delete
Not every large video needs to go. Free AI Storage can compress a video to reduce its file size while keeping it playable, which is often a better trade-off for footage you want to keep but don't need in original quality.
What compression changes
Compression reduces bitrate and sometimes resolution. The original is only replaced after you confirm the compressed preview looks acceptable to you.
Practical tips
Sort large videos by size first, then decide compress vs. delete per file.
Screen recordings are usually safe to compress aggressively; they're rarely watched at full quality again.
Back up anything irreplaceable, like family videos, before any bulk action.
