Without memory? check out the best ways to free up space on your phone

When using a mobile device, the need to free up storage space is likely to arise. This is because, over time, your device can become cluttered with information downloaded and sent via messaging apps. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically clean the ROM, either manually or using specific tools.

Cleaning any device is crucial, both to free up space and to optimize it. Regular maintenance is necessary, especially at the end of the day. It is advisable to use a smartphone optimizer and dedicate time to it, at least every two or three weeks. In this way, it is possible to clean duplicate files and optimize the Android system.

Below, we will introduce you to several useful tricks to free up space on Android. These tips apply to any device, regardless of make and model. By following these guidelines, you can reserve space for other purposes essential to your system, such as storing music, videos, and miscellaneous documents.

Remove apps from your device

By deleting apps from your Android OS phone, you can free up significant space. There are two ways to do this: using the built-in uninstaller or the device optimizer.

To start, it's important to analyze which apps you use less often. Make a list of the least accessed ones and then remove them. While you can remove apps individually, this approach can be time consuming. Therefore, many people prefer a faster solution.

There are two ways to remove apps:

quick method

1. Press and open the app you want to remove.
2. Then drag it to the trash.
3. Confirm removal by clicking "Uninstall".

slower method

• Open your device's "Settings".
• Look for the “Apps” option and tap on it.
• Then select "All Apps".
• Locate the app you want to remove.
  Click "Uninstall" and confirm the removal.

Remove files from downloads folder

The folder that stores your downloads takes up a lot of storage space. It is called “Downloads” and contains files ranging from a few megabytes to quite large files. Periodic cleaning is recommended to free up space, usually between 1 and 10 GB in many cases.

This folder will store everything you download, as well as any files you decide to upload. Sometimes you have to go through it before something happens to your device. Accessing it is simple and it is recommended to do this every few months, between 2-3 months, if you want to free up space on Android.

It is very easy and simple to remove the whole folder which will give you considerable space. This is generally important and should be done regularly, especially over time. It is recommended to do a general cleaning, not only in the downloads folder, but also in other folders, including files received via Bluetooth.

Another way to free up space, in addition to the one mentioned above, is to remove cache and data from apps, as they also take up space over time. It is advisable to do this in the browser and installed social networks, and then re-enter your username and password.

This is an easy task to do, and experts recommend doing it periodically, at least once every one or two months, to free up space, as these files take up a lot of space on our phone. Also, it is recommended to do this manually rather than using apps that may cause problems.

If you need to perform this procedure, follow these steps:

• Go to your device's "Settings".
• Find the “Applications” option and select it.
• Within the list of applications, look for those that are using the most megabytes.
• Tap on the desired app and then click on “Storage”.
• Within the “Storage” section, you will have the option to clear the app’s cache and data.
• Select both options to remove consumed resources, freeing up space on your device.

The Optimizer

Using this type of application becomes simple, especially when you want to recover memory and storage in general, mainly to eliminate utilities that consume resources. It is advisable to use the default application on your cell phone, as it is generally responsive, fast and optimizes the phone's performance.

It is recommended to perform this action every few weeks to keep the device more fluid and free up space, which turns out to be beneficial for you. There are several optimizers available, including CCleaner, which is a powerful tool and can be installed on any Android device.
