SOUND FAMILIAR?
A few minutes of high-resolution, high-frame-rate video can be larger than the rest of your phone combined.
Twenty near-identical frames from one moment take twenty times the space. Picking the keeper is slow.
Previews, render files and media caches grow quietly in the background of every project.
HOW SPACERECOVER HELPS
Every finding says what it is, why it’s there, and what happens if it goes. You decide.
Your largest videos are listed first with an estimate of what each quality setting saves. Watch the smaller copy side by side before anything is replaced.
Similar frames from the same moment are grouped together, with likely blinks and soft focus flagged as hints, never verdicts.
spacerecover recognises Adobe cache folders and DaVinci Resolve data, explains what they hold, and points you to the app’s own cleanup controls so projects stay safe.
CLEAR AT EVERY STEP
Findings appear as the scan runs. Stop any time; nothing changes while spacerecover looks.
One number up front: the space that’s safe to clear now. Everything else is grouped, sized and explained.
spacerecover measures free space afterwards, shows what’s waiting in the Trash, and lets you put anything back.

No. Video conversion and photo analysis run on your Mac or iPhone. When you pair the two, selected media moves directly between your own devices on your local network.
The original is kept until you approve the smaller copy. After that it follows the normal Trash or Recently Deleted path, so you can still restore it until that is emptied.
No. Editing app data is shown for review with an explanation. spacerecover recommends using the editor’s own cache controls, after saving your projects, rather than deleting those folders directly.
