How to make more Storage in your Phone?

A selfie enthusiast’s fear, a geek’s nightmare, and everyone in between; running out of phone storage is what everyone hates right away. Although mobile app development companies have started building optimally sized apps and manufacturers have been stuffing in more internal storage in the phones, but unfortunately that doesn’t solve the problem. For a person who truly likes to explore the depths of what a smartphone can really offer, no matter how big the internal storage is, it would always seem small. There are millions of applications on App Store and Play Store, and the quality of these apps are improving day by day.

Mobile app developers are improving on providing valuable utilities with their apps and as a result, people are installing new apps every day, most of which are keepers. Other than that, smartphone cameras have improved big time and are comparable to professional cameras now-a-days. So keeping all these photos and videos that take up a lot of disk space is another issue we are looking at. So how do you solve the problem of internal storage running out? Let’s jump right into it.

 

Shift Movable Files to SD Card::

Seeing us start with this tip may seem disappointing to you because this is probably the most obvious thing in making more space out of your internal storage. But this time, we are going to tell you how you can do that differently to squeeze even more space from the corners of your internal storage. First of all, move all the camera-shot photos and videos to the SD card. This could be done manually or with an app available on the Play Store. Once that is done, use a file explorer to navigate to your internal storage. In the internal storage, you can find many folders where you many media files that you edited earlier. Move these files as well.

 

 

Now, get to downloads folder in the internal folder. Downloads folder has most of the files that are forbidden. We download a lot of documents, files, APKs, which we go through and forget about once we are done with them. And when we use apps to move files from internal to SD storage, these document files are not moved as these apps mostly focus on moving applications and media files. So, unfortunately, you have to move or delete these files manually.

 

Clean WhatsApp Media Files::

WhatsApp is just great. However, what isn’t great about it is how much storage it eats off your internal storage. But then WhatsApp gives you the freedom to choose what you want to download and what you don’t, right? Despite that, no matter how less we download, eventually it all piles up into a big mess. And let’s admit you wouldn’t always want to look back at those GIFs and short videos that your friends have been sending for years.

 

We can always delete these files that are located in the internal storage, which can be accessed with a file manager mobile application. Now this may be too time taking but trust us, the result is always good. In general, in the phone of an average user, WhatsApp takes more than a GB of internal storage, which is the bare minimum.

 

 

Clean the Cache::

It is quite surprising for some of the geeks that there is a large number of people with a smartphone who do not know about the temporary cache files that build up while we are using our routine apps just like any other day. But it is totally fine with us because we understand that smartphones could be quite complicated. You can always clear cache memory in a two-tap process and make a lot of room again.

Clean the Cache

On an average, if you have the top generic apps that are being used by most of the people around the world, the average cache build per week easily crosses 1 GB. And 1 GB is a big deal when you are running out of space. However, because cache memory keeps building up in a short time, you need to be regular with cleaning your cache until you get a new phone.

 

So these were some of the tips that can help you big time in getting a lot of space out of your dying internal storage. Other than these tips, application development has given us these cleaning apps that can identify duplicate files and suggest deletions that can get you a lot of free space on your phone.
