On Android, open your phone’s Settings, find Instagram under Apps, open its storage settings and choose Clear cache<\/strong>. On iPhone, offloading or deleting Instagram does something different from Android’s cache-only control, so check the consequences before choosing either.<\/p>\n

Before you delete Instagram or clear its stored data, protect your drafts.<\/strong> Meta warns that post and Reel drafts are saved on the device and are lost when you uninstall the app. They are not all safely stored on Instagram’s servers. Save important original media and caption text elsewhere first.<\/p>\n

Correction:<\/strong> The previous version of this guide wrongly said drafts were stored on Instagram’s servers and described offloading as a guaranteed cache clean. This update separates temporary cache, app data, offloading and deletion so you can choose the right action without relying on that advice.<\/p>\n

I’d start with the smallest change that fits the problem. If your only copy of tomorrow’s Reel is still a draft, protecting that work matters more than shaving a little off the storage counter.<\/p>\n
