Free up SHEIN storage

SHEIN keeps catalog photos, try-on clips, and wishlist thumbnails on the phone. Bag items and orders stay on your SHEIN account. Image and video cache is what you can delete.

See how much space SHEIN is using

iPhone

1. Open the iPhone Settings app.
2. Tap General > iPhone Storage.
3. Tap SHEIN.

Android

1. Open your phone Settings > Apps (or Apps and notifications).
2. Tap SHEIN.
3. Tap Storage or Storage and cache.

The number is mostly product photos, listing videos, and browse cache on this phone. Orders stay on your account.

Clear product photos and video cache

SHEIN keeps listing images and product videos so the feed scrolls smoothly. That cache is safe to drop. Saved items, orders, and your cart stay on the account.

1. Open SHEIN and tap your profile or the person icon.
2. Open Settings (or Account > Settings).
3. Look for Clear cache, Storage, or Free up space.
4. Confirm the clear if SHEIN shows a size.

If there is no in-app button, use Android Clear cache below. The next browse will download images again.

Wishlist photos

A huge wishlist still stores thumbnails locally. Clearing cache does not remove the wishlist on the account. Those images download again when you open the list.

Clear SHEIN cache on Android

1. Open your phone Settings > Apps > SHEIN.
2. Tap Storage or Storage and cache.
3. Tap Clear cache.

Do not tap Clear storage / Clear data unless you mean to reset SHEIN on this phone. That signs you out. The bag and orders stay on the SHEIN account.

iPhone does not offer a separate SHEIN cache button. Use the in-app steps on this page, or offload the app in iPhone Storage if the system total stays high.

Reinstall the app if storage is still high

If you already cleaned media and SHEIN still looks huge, a fresh install can clear leftover cache and temp files that are hard to reach by hand.

1. Orders, saved items, and your account stay with the store. You only need to sign in again after reinstall.
2. Delete the app from your phone.
3. Restart your phone.
4. Install SHEIN again from the App Store or Google Play.
5. Sign in and restore from backup if the app offers it.

This often frees a lot of space. You may need to download some media again after restore.

What to do next

After SHEIN is lighter, check your photo library for duplicates and similar shots. That is what Dedupo is for.
