Clear space on Android storage: easy yet helpful tips

The first way to clear the Android storage is uninstalling all the apps that you don’t usually use by going to Settings>Apps. There is information about the space occupied by each app. So, you can calculate how much space will be free up after you delete the app. Secondly, clear cache and temporary files.

In order to clear cache or junk file piled up over time, go to Settings>Apps and tap “Cached data”.

The third way is using SD Card and moving data to there. This is an easy and helpful solution to clear space on Android storage. Many Android phones come with microSD card slots to expand the internal storage. And price of microSD cards depend on the capacity and the brand. Usually, you can purchase a fairly good one at around $18. Then, all you need to do is inserting the microSD card and moving music, videos, pictures and other files there. Moreover, the SD card can be connected to your computer. So, you can save the SD card’s space by moving the data to your PC.

Last but not least, clear videos, music and downloads. For videos, you can move them to cloud or a computer. In case of MP3s, you should use Spotify or a music streaming service. Some of your downloads occupy space considerably. Therefore, if you don’t need any of them, just delete.
