Free up phone storage for good

  1. 1

    Look at the breakdown first.

    Settings shows what actually fills the phone. It is almost never what you assume.

  2. 2

    Clear the cache, not the apps.

    Offloading or clearing cache frees gigabytes while keeping your data.

  3. 3

    Deal with video before photos.

    One minute of 4K video is worth hundreds of photos. Sort by size, not by date.

  4. 4

    Empty the recently deleted folder.

    Deleted photos sit there for thirty days and still take the space.

  5. 5

    Move the archive off the phone.

    Anything older than a year belongs in cloud storage or on a drive, not in your pocket.

#1 becomes the Core. This atoma is young: submit a better distillation and take the seat.

No gear needed. Your pot, a timer and ice are enough. That is the point.
