Understand and use Libérons.

More than 4,000 items in “Recently Deleted”?

This recommendation applies only to the “Recently Deleted” album in the Photos app on your iPhone, when permanently deleting the items stored there. It does not apply to the initial removal from your photo library and is not a Libérons limit.

If Recently Deleted contains several thousand photos or videos that you want to erase permanently after verifying their protection in Libérons, avoid deleting everything in one operation. To help keep Photos and your iPhone responsive, work progressively:

• in Photos → Recently Deleted, start by selecting groups of about 500 items;
• permanently delete that group and wait for the operation to finish before continuing;
• confirm that the iPhone remains responsive;
• as the number of remaining items decreases and processing stays stable, you can move to groups of about 1,000 items.

Before permanently deleting anything from Recently Deleted, verify that content you intend to keep is protected, visible and accessible in Libérons. This is a stability recommendation for very large permanent deletions in Photos, not a Libérons storage limit.

Photo or video selected from Files

If a protected item is recognized as a photo, find it under Library → Photos. If it is a video, find it under Library → Videos. Other file types are available under Protected Files.

File analysis

Select the folder you want to examine. Libérons can show detected items, file types and sizes so you can choose exactly what to protect or delete. Delete without protecting removes the selected original without creating a Libérons copy.

Failed payment

A failed payment may start a 7-day regularization period. New protection may be paused and some recovery limited. If payment remains unresolved, certain features may then be suspended and an additional 20-day retention period may apply before affected content is deleted. Regularizing before that period expires cancels scheduled deletion.
