Move apps to microSD card<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apps will probably take up more storage space on your phone.  If you have an Android phone to add a microSD card for extra storage, you can move some of your storage to that microSD card using apps.  Settings> Apps> Search for Apps> Storage> ‘Change> View Move<\/strong> Note: If this button is not available your phone will not allow apps to be moved to the SD card, or an app will not do this.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clean up your downloads<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Albums that you download can eat a lot of data. There is a downloads folder on your Android phone that stores everything you download – photos, videos, documents and other files.  Most of the files in your downloads folder may not be the files you specifically attached.  So you can free up some storage space by deleting these unnecessary files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t use any Cleaner Apps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many cache cleaner or speed booster apps available in the Play Store. These apps take up more space on your phone, and can even slow down performance by constantly running in the background. Often, they’re full of ads. Avoid using such apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Files By Google App<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

 The main interface of this app will show you junk files, duplicate files, large files, unused apps(if you have any).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using this app, you can clear the space with a few taps.  Delete old photos and memes from chat apps, remove duplicate files, delete unused apps, clear your cache and more.  You will get a prompt to remove junk or temporary files<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also use to see how much free space is left on your phone<\/p>\n\n\n\n
