Hello guys,

I'm new to the apple business as I recently bought an iPhone 14 Pro.
I transfered my data from an Android device (Huawei P30 Pro) to my new phone via "move to iOS". (No Apps included, it was just photos and contacts). Before I transfered all data I cleared out the photos I dont need.
Now, according the "Storage" screen 90 GB out of 256 GB are already taken, although it was "just" 28 GB of photos. In the list, where you see every single app with it's size etc. there is an strange "folder". It's called "On my iPhone", which has an sub-folder "move to iOS" - there are PLENTY of files inside, with a single size of 79,9 MB. In total, this folder has round about 40 GB.
Can I just delete that folder? Do I "destroy" a linkage of sth, if I delete this?

Furthermore, according to this storage site, my apps take already 40 GB of space, what I really cant imagine, cause I installed just a handful of addiontal apps. (whatsapp has ~ 3GB)

I hope you guys can help me, couldnt find any help somewhere else! If I find a solution in the meantime, I will let this forum know.

PS: Hope my english's fine :p
