How to remove apple inteligence files?

Hi,


I am trying remove apple inteligence files in storage 14,76GB


I had 8GB of apple inteligence.

I live in EU and my native language doesn't support apple inteligence.


Then I tried change language of my iPhone to supported language turned on Apple ibteligence and then increased to 16GB...


I don't want these files...I turned off apple inteligence. Tried many ways setup different language in siri..


I changed back to my native language and from 16GB is now 14,76GB... I want it as low as possible..some users duct have apple inteligence or only few MB.


Tried push my storage to the limit 253GB used from 256GB


So how to remove these files?

So


@brbo I know that apple inteligence is highly integrated but when I once allow AI then into my iPhone will be downloaded some AI stuff I saw it in storage there was iOS 15GB and apple inteligence 14GB.

I don't want these files and should be removed I did it...


@SravanKrA I did already all what users on the internet tried but for me not worked..


Solution is : backup iPhone and erase all then restore.

I did it via iTunes backup and restore...


In last step 3 of 3 in iTunes takes it a bit longer maybe glitch I forced restart of iPhone.

I set it up some stuff and all apps when I tap was re-downloaded.


In storage is now only ios 15,6GB and system data 7GB.


My system is now clean without unnecessary bloatware and stuff which I don't need.


Apple should automatically remove something when I tap delete or simply turn off and don't let installed some leftovers.


In my opinion is system a bit faster and battery is better.


Siri and search need reindex now...I will wait approx 22 hours like in past..





Hi @mptraxx,

welcome to this Apple (user-to-user) Community!


Re: "How to remove apple inteligence files?"


Just as we can not delete certain Apple Apps integrated into Apple's iOS versions.

it seems we can not remove Apple Intelligence once we update to iOS 27.


Apple Intelligence is a necessary part of iOS 27.

Apple Intelligence is integrated into a great many of the iPhone apps.


(Once iOS 27 is installed, it is not possible to retreat to an earlier iOS version)

Things change:

ie: We could only use English in the beta version. Apple's September14th article:

How to get the next generation of Apple Intelligence - Apple Support

Eg: says

"Supported languages and regions

With iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27, many Apple Intelligence features are available in most regions around the world on compatible iPhone, iPad, and Mac models.


Apple Intelligence is available with support for these languages: English, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Chinese (simplified), Chinese (traditional), Japanese, and Korean.

Some features may not be available in all regions or languages. "

Re: "Tried push my storage to the limit 253GB used from 256GB"


An iPhone generally needs at least 8 Gb free, (pref. more, and especially if using iPhone for intensive work like video-editing etc.), in order to operate smoothly, and do all we ask it to.


You may want to back-up all your data first, and then move some files to an external storage drive, as many of us do.

If needed: Back up iPhone - Apple Support

and

How to: Transfer files from iPhone to a storage device, a server, or the cloud


All the best :-)

Go to Settings → Apple Intelligence & Siri

Turn Apple Intelligence off.

Restart the iPhone.

Check Settings → General → iPhone Storage again.
