Optimize storage by eliminating redundant files and images
Discover and remove unnecessary large files
Storing too many large files on your device is the main cause of memory shortage. Therefore, this is also an effective solution to reclaim some storage space.
Maximize storage utilization on memory card
Utilize memory card storage to its fullest potential
Remove seldom-used or unnecessary apps
Sometimes, we download apps that we only use a few times but forget to delete. This is also the reason for Android memory overflow. To remove redundant apps, we have two solutions:
Utilize free cloud storage services
Backing up data on cloud storage services not only partially solves memory shortage but also makes it more convenient for device switching, data recovery, and other daily tasks. Currently, there are quite a few free storage services with large capacities such as Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.
Delete Google Maps offline data or move it to SD card
Google Maps Offline feature is great, but the downloaded maps take up a lot of storage space. If not essential, you should remove them or move the storage items to the SD card.
Delete redundant files at the source
Utilize SD card as internal memory storage.
Starting from Android 6.0 Marshmallow, users can convert external SD cards into internal memory, resolving storage issues on devices with limited memory. By opting to use the SD card as internal memory, you can install apps, store movies, photos, app data, and files directly on the card.
Opt for lighter versions of applications.
Certain applications you often use for work consume excessive memory space on your device. Therefore, endeavor to utilize compact versions of these applications to reduce the memory usage on your device. Currently, there are numerous lightweight versions available for applications such as Facebook, Google Maps, Tiktok, Twitter, Skype, YouTube, etc., which you can download onto your mobile phone.
Remove unnecessary default apps.
