It doesn't matter if your Android phone has expandable storage via a microSD card -- you fill up whatever space you're given, whether it's 32GB or 200GB. Here are some easy ways to free up storage on your Android device -- internal storage. (remember this site shall not be held liable on any data loss)
1. Clear the cache
Many Android apps use; stored -- or cached -- data to give you a better user experience. Cached data can save a little time (and mobile data), but the files stored in app caches are for convenience and are not strictly necessary. If you need to clear up space on your phone quickly, the app cache is the first place you should look.
go to Settings > Applications > Application Manager and tap on the app you want to modify. In the app's Application info menu, tap Storage and then tap Clear Cache to clear the app's cache.
2. Delete your downloads
Your Android phone has a downloads folder where everything you download -- photos, videos, documents and other files -- is stored. Chances are most of the files in your downloads folder are not files you're particularly attached to. So you should be able to free up some storage space by deleting these unnecessary files
3. Move apps to the microSD card
Apps probably take up most of the storage space on your phone. If you've got an Android phone that lets you add a microSD card for extra storage, you may be able to move some of your storage-sucking apps to that microSD card.
To do this, open Settings and go to Applications > Application manager and tap the app you want to move.
If the app can be moved, you will see a button that says Move to SD card -- tap this button to move the app to the microSD card. (On some phones, you may have to tap Storage to find this option.) Only part of the app will be moved to the microSD card. How much of the app will be moved depends on the app and, unfortunately, many large games will not move a significant portion of their data to the microSD card. And take note once this is done avoid removing your microSD card unnecessarily, apps crash when you keep ejecting or in mounting your microSD card.
4. Deleting WhatsApp database files
Most of us are not aware of how the WhatsApp application creates back up files each and every day usually around 2am every morning. These files are very large from 80MB minimum. You can imagine how much these files can build up creating and occupy massive lions share of space after several days. If your WhatsApp is running smoothly, you can easily delete these files and reclaim your space.
to do this, open file manager and find WhatsApp folder, databases folder then delete the files in that folder.
You're welcome.
