A “storage full” warning stops you from taking photos and installing updates. Here’s how to clear space safely.
1. Use Files by Google
Open the Files app and tap Clean to remove junk, duplicates and large files.
2. Back up photos
Back up photos and videos to Google Photos, then use Free up space to remove device copies.
3. Delete WhatsApp media
In WhatsApp, go to Settings > Storage and data > Manage storage and delete large files.
4. Clear app cache
Clear the cache of big apps in Settings > Apps.
5. Uninstall unused apps
Remove apps you haven’t opened in months.
6. Use a memory card
If your phone supports microSD, move photos and media to the card.
