Free up app storage

Free up Walmart storage

Walmart caches product photos, grocery aisle art, and promo videos. Lists, orders, and Walmart+ stay on your account. The app leftover is mostly media cache.

iPhone

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

Android

1. Open your phone Settings > Apps (or Apps and notifications).
2. Tap Walmart.
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

Walmart 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 Walmart 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 Walmart shows a size.

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

Lists and grocery photos

Lists stay on the account after a cache clear. Item photos download again when you open the list. Pharmacy or photo-center files you saved to Downloads are separate.

Clear Walmart cache on Android

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

Do not tap Clear storage / Clear data unless you mean to reset Walmart on this phone. That signs you out. Orders and lists stay on the Walmart account.

iPhone does not offer a separate Walmart 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 Walmart 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 Walmart 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 Walmart is lighter, check your photo library for duplicates and similar shots. That is what Dedupo is for.
