Where do I find Emergency Space?

Short answer: From More → Emergency Space, the red badge beside the bell on Home, the button on a low-space notification, or the Home banner when your drive is nearly full. It's never behind a licence prompt.

It's deliberately reachable from several places, because a screen you can't find when you need it is no use:

  • More ••• → Emergency Space…
  • the small red alert badge beside the notification bell on the Home screen
  • the button on a low-space notification
  • the banner on the Home screen when your built-in drive is nearly full

It's never behind a licence prompt — a paywall in front of a full disk is the worst possible moment for one. See the red badge.
