Hi Amanda - Mylio Photos has protections in place to ensure that any media it is deleting from your camera roll or media library has been backed up to another Mylio device, such as a Vault. We recommend that Mylio users have at least two Vault devices on their account to protect against device loss or failure.
If the Free Up Space option is giving you the message that 0 files can be deleted, it means that your media is not preserved in another location. Can you verify that you have an external Vault (ideally 2 or more), and that your Sync Panel shows that your Vault device(s) are fully synced?

Every time I try to free up space through my phone it says 0 files meet my criteria to be deleted. I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong.
