# How do I see how much space uninstalling an app will free?

The confirmation screen shows each item's size and, at the bottom, "About … will be freed" for everything currently ticked. Untick items and the figure updates.

The space comes back fully once you empty the Trash, since uninstalled items sit there until then.
