Cleanup keeps crashing when deleting duplicates — how can I fix Cleanup: Phone Storage Cleaner crashing?

Cleanup: Phone Storage Cleaner usually crashes during duplicate deletion because the app runs out of memory while scanning large photo libraries or corrupted files.

This is common on older devices or when iCloud Photos is enabled and syncing at the same time.

First, update the app and your iOS version, then restart your phone to clear temporary memory issues.

Disable iCloud syncing temporarily, reopen Cleanup, and delete duplicates in smaller batches instead of all at once.

If crashes continue, uninstall and reinstall the app, then grant photo access again when prompted.

Do you have another way to solve it? We'd love to hear from you in the comments.
