Your Watch can not only show your available storage but also let you know which apps and content are using the most space.
To check your available storage space, open the Watch app on your iPhone. Tap “General” then “About”. The the app will display all the storage information, including the total storage and how much is remaining as well as the data used up by music, photos and apps.
To see which individual apps are eating up your storage go to General, scroll down to Usage, tap on it and wait for it to load. You can see in order which apps are taking up the most real estate.
Now that you can see which apps are taking up the most storage space on your Watch, you can decide which ones to delete. And of course, you can always re-download them later if you change your mind.
There are a couple of ways to delete apps from an Apple Watch; you can either do it via the Watch app on the iPhone or directly on the Watch itself.
To delete apps via the iPhone Watch app, open the app and Swipe down until you see “Installed on Apple Watch”. Find the app you want to remove and tap the name. You’ll see a switch that says “Show App on Apple Watch”, which you should then switch to off. The app still appear in the Available Apps section, and you can re-download it by tapping “Install”.
If you want to remove an app directly on the Watch itself, the great news is this works just like an iPhone: press the Digital Crown to pull up the app cloud or Home Screen. Press down on any app icon until they all start to shake and you’ll see an X appear. Just tap it press the Digital Crown to stop the apps from shaking.
If you’re in List view, scroll through the list until you find the app you want to remove, then swipe it to the left until you see the trash can icon. Tap the trash can and then confirm by pressing “Delete App” when prompted.
