Open the Photos app, tap Albums, then scroll to Media Types > Screenshots. Scroll to the date you want to clean up. Tap Select in the top right, then tap and drag across the screenshots from that day to bulk-select them. Tap the Trash icon to delete. To recover storage immediately, go to Albums > Recently Deleted, tap Select, then Delete All. Screenshots are typically grouped by day, so deleting an entire date is fast.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1 Open the Screenshots Album
Open the Photos app and tap Albums at the bottom. Scroll down to the Media Types section and tap Screenshots. This album auto-organizes every screen capture you have ever taken.
2 Scroll to the Target Date
The Screenshots album sorts chronologically. Scroll to find the specific date or use the date headers to navigate. For older dates, drag the right-edge scrollbar to scroll faster through long lists.
3 Tap Select
Tap Select in the upper right corner. This puts the album into selection mode where you can pick specific screenshots.
4 Bulk Select with Drag
Tap the first screenshot from the target date, then without lifting your finger, drag across all other screenshots from that day. Each tapped screenshot gets a blue checkmark. This is much faster than tapping each one individually.
5 Tap the Trash Icon
With your selection complete, tap the Trash icon in the bottom right. Confirm Delete X Screenshots in the popup. The screenshots move to Recently Deleted.
6 Empty Recently Deleted
To free up storage immediately, go to Albums > Recently Deleted at the bottom of the Albums tab. Authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID. Tap Select, then Delete All. Otherwise, screenshots auto-purge after 30 days.
Bulk Screenshot Cleanup
If you have hundreds of screenshots across many dates, manual selection becomes tedious. Tools like Swype Photo Cleaner let you swipe through screenshots one at a time — left to delete, right to keep — and process hundreds in minutes. The app respects iOS Photos permissions and never uploads your data.
