Clean Out the Downloads Folder
\n<\/b>Similar to on your computer, your phone keeps a downloads folder that quickly fills up with every attachment you open. It even includes junk files that could have been downloaded from the web by different apps, perhaps in the form of ads. To clean this folder out and to free up space, open the app drawer and tap \u201cdownloads.\u201d There, click the three-line menu at the top corner and sort the attachments by size. Tap and hold the different files to delete anything that you no longer need.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remove Backed-Up Photos
\n<\/b>Since the Google photo app so conveniently allows users to back up their photos from a wireless device, it makes it easier to free up space when it comes to your favorite pictures. Get rid of anything that\u2019s already been synced to your Google account and you\u2019ll love having an abundance of extra space on your Android. To do this, open the photo app and tap that three-line menu button in the top left corner. Next, tap \u201cfree up device storage.\u201d The app will then let you know how many pictures you can delete from the device\u2019s local storage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Erase Offline Areas in Google Maps
\n<\/b>You probably don\u2019t immediately think of your maps app when you think of what\u2019s hogging space on your Android, but it\u2019s certainly something that can stand to be trimmed down. Since this app now lets you navigate offline, it stores more information than it used to. Start by checking how much space your offline maps app is consuming by tapping that left corner menu and then choosing \u201cOffline.\u201d Each individual offline map will then be displayed with the amount of data it\u2019s taking up. Tap the map and then hit \u201cdelete\u201d to get rid of what you don\u2019t want.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
