How to Free up Space With the Storage Manager
When you free up space on your Android device, the phone has more space for new apps, photos, videos, and music, and often, faster performance. When a phone is close to full, it tends to get sluggish. Android refers to this feature as storage, but file management is what it does.
Alternative Ways to Free up Space on Your Android
Another way to make space on an Android smartphone is to back up your pictures to Google Photos, which offers unlimited cloud storage and access to your images on any device. For other files, offload them to Dropbox, Google Drive, or another cloud service. You can also move apps to an SD card to save space. If you want to access Android system files, you can root your smartphone and install a third-party file manager. Rooting your smartphone is a straightforward process, and the risks are relatively small. The benefits include the ability to manage files on the smartphone, remove bloatware, and more. If you want to do a quick cleanup, as you would on a computer, the built-in tool does the trick. Always be sure to back up your data first, in case you accidentally delete something important.
