Clean up your photo library, one swipe at a time. Swipe right to keep, left to toss — you decide what stays. Everything you toss goes into Garbage where you can take another look on what to keep and what to delete. ZeroGarbage also can help you find the duplicate photos, the almost-duplicates photos, so you can keep the one selfie out of 12 you took in total.
