How to Delete All Reminders From Your iPhone Device

Key Takeaways:

• Deleting all reminders at once is a quick way to declutter your Reminders app
• You can delete all reminders in a specific list or across all lists
• Deleting reminders is permanent, so make sure you no longer need them

As an iPhone user and tech enthusiast, I’ve found that the Reminders app is a great tool for staying organized and on top of tasks. However, over time, the app can become cluttered with old, completed, or irrelevant reminders. If you find yourself in this situation, you might want to delete all your reminders and start fresh. In this article, I’ll guide you through the process of deleting all reminders from your iPhone device.

Why Delete All Reminders?

There are several reasons why you might want to delete all your reminders:

• Declutter your Reminders app: If you have a lot of old or completed reminders, deleting them can help you focus on current and relevant tasks.
• Free up storage space: While reminders don’t take up much space, deleting them can still help free up some storage on your iPhone.
• Start fresh: If you want to start using the Reminders app differently or with a new system, deleting all your existing reminders can give you a clean slate.

How to Delete All Reminders in a Specific List

If you want to delete all reminders in a specific list, follow these steps:

1. Open the Reminders app on your iPhone.
2. Tap on the list that contains the reminders you want to delete.
3. Tap on the three dots (…) in the top-right corner of the screen.
4. Select “Select All” to highlight all reminders in the list.
5. Tap on the trash can icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
6. Confirm that you want to delete all the reminders by tapping “Delete.”

How to Delete All Reminders Across All Lists

If you want to delete all reminders across all lists, follow these steps:

1. Open the Reminders app on your iPhone.
2. Tap on the “Lists” button in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
3. Tap on the “Edit” button in the top-right corner of the screen.
4. Tap on “Select All” to highlight all lists.
5. Tap on the trash can icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
6. Confirm that you want to delete all the lists and their reminders by tapping “Delete.”

Note that deleting all reminders across all lists will permanently remove all your reminders and lists from the app.

Alternatives to Deleting All Reminders

If you don’t want to delete all your reminders, there are a few alternatives:

• Mark reminders as complete: If you have a lot of completed reminders, you can mark them as complete instead of deleting them. This will remove them from your active reminders list but keep them in the app for reference.
• Create a new list: If you want to start fresh with a new set of reminders, you can create a new list instead of deleting all your existing reminders. This way, you can keep your old reminders for reference while focusing on new tasks.

Conclusion

Deleting all reminders from your iPhone device is a quick and easy way to declutter your Reminders app and start fresh. Whether you want to delete all reminders in a specific list or across all lists, the process is straightforward and can be done in just a few taps. However, keep in mind that deleting reminders is permanent, so make sure you no longer need them before proceeding. If you don’t want to delete all your reminders, you can also mark them as complete, archive them, or create a new list to focus on new tasks.
