How Do I Free Up Storage Space On Mobile Phone

[emmie]

the message tells me that i am running out of space, but
i haven't a clue how to do it.
anyone know...

For a start see if there are any photos and downloaded files/documents on there you don't need. My phone has something in settings somewhere for clearing up unnecessary files

[pastafreak]

I had this problem with my former Samsung. I had to clear the cache and unnecessary data on all applications, plus install an sd card for photos. It never helped enough.

This might help...

Has you phone got the facility for a mini memory card Emmie?

[barry1010]

What make and model is your phone?

[aelmpvw]

unwanted messages can be deleted?

on my Samsung I select Settings then Device care. Have a look at that- it tells you a% for how optimised it is and tells you the amount of storage used/free and memory

[emmie]

no mini memory card, Samsung Galaxy J3. about three years old. have very few messages... but loads of google e mails

[Bobbisox1]

Is google your email provider? I have it as a second email and it really sends some rubbish, if it isn’t then clear the inbox also go to your settings and clear the cache of cookies etc

You can delete apps you don't use. Apart from that, not a lot. I use AppMgr III to move dome to the memory card. Aside from that it's probably new phone (with oodles of memory) time.

[Old_Geezer]

Can you back up your e-mails to somewhere off the phone then delete them from the phone ?

[barry1010]

Go in to Settings - Device Maintenance Settings - Storage Settings .

According to the blurb you can install a memory card which will be a big help

...move Some to the...

My Samsung is Galaxy but a later model. If yours has the Device Care option within Settings then you can see your % optimisation and then click the Optimise button. I'm back to 100% with lots of free space. I'm not sure clearing emails will make much difference

settings go to storage & usb, click on internal storage, cached data, wait till it loads up, click on it and delete by ok
thats how my android moto works
