How to clear the memory of a Fly Android phone. How to clear memory on Android. We delete email accounts and correspondence

Data-lazy-type="image" data-src="http://androidkak.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/chistka-pamyati..jpg 450w, http://androidkak.ru/wp- content/uploads/2015/09/chistka-pamyati-300x179.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px"> If you are not a beginner, but a more or less experienced Android user, then you probably already know a rather unpleasant fact: of the gigabytes of memory stated on the box with the phone, not all are available for installing applications.

But before rushing headlong to correct this injustice, it is worth finding out why this happens and how exactly you can clean the system.

Android File System Structure

Data-lazy-type="image" data-src="http://androidkak.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/faylovaya-sistema-android.png" alt="File system structure Android" width="200" height="356" srcset="" data-srcset="http://androidkak.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/faylovaya-sistema-android..png 168w" sizes="(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px"> !} One thing to understand is that the Android file system is not nearly as versatile as, say, the one found in Windows. If on Windows your programs and media files are in the same space, then on Android each type of file has its own section.

System programs - separately, auxiliary files and music - separately. The first partition is called the system memory, while the last one is called the media partition.

Why is this necessary? First of all, to make the OS as secure as possible. If you combine these sections, it turns out that a regular media player can accidentally delete data important for the operation of another program, crash the system, or simply fill it to capacity with its files, without leaving even a byte for the necessary system programs.

Moreover, these two sections have different access levels. In the media section, the user and third-party programs can do whatever they want. There is no access to anything other than these programs in the Android system programs section.

Because of this order of things, sometimes a rather curious situation occurs: the media section has several gigabytes free, but the phone stubbornly reports that it cannot install an application of a couple of tens of megabytes in size. This happens because the section for third-party programs is already full.

In such cases, there is nothing left but to try to clear the system memory in the hope that you will be able to free up these megabytes.

You can see the amount of free system memory in the settings, in the “Memory” section. The first scale shows exactly this value. In addition, it is worth considering that the system requires leaving a certain amount free - from 50 to 600 megabytes, depending on the Android device model and OS version.

Cleaning system memory without superuser rights

If you have not opened root access on your smartphone, then your ability to clean up the system partition will be seriously limited. On the other hand, the warranty on the device will remain intact. Is it worth it? It's up to you to decide.

If you want to clear system memory, do the following:

Go to "Settings".
Go to the "Applications" section.
Next, go to the “Third Party” tab.
Click the Menu button (three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the screen).
Select sort by size.

If there is something among them that you do not use, then click on it and select “Delete”. If the button is not available, it means that the application is a system application and cannot be erased without superuser rights.

Then select “Uninstall updates”, this way you will free up at least some space. It is also advisable to disable the program by clicking on the corresponding button. But you need to do this carefully and only with applications like Facebook that are not part of the system.

The above method does not take into account the fact that Android calculates the size of the application on the entire internal memory. If it takes up 1.2 GB on the internal memory card and only 40 MB on the system partition, it will still show up as 1.2 GB in size.

If you have already carried out such optimization and there is still little space, you have little choice: get superuser rights or try to transfer applications to a memory card. The latter will only work if your system is version 4.0.4 or lower, so the chance is slim. But if you really are a user of a device that is at least three years old, then next to the “Delete” button you will have a “Move to SD card/USB drive” button. Click on it, and part of the data of this application will leave the system partition and will be transferred to the memory card, freeing up space.

Some Android programs are used only by some third-party applications, so they can be erased even without superuser rights. For example, removing “Google Play Services” allows you to free up to 150 MB in the system partition, in return closing the possibility of direct synchronization between devices. If you don't use programs like Pushbullet or MightyText, you can safely delete this. And if some program suddenly needs something, it will offer to download it again. The second candidate for deletion is Google search, but along with its 40-60 MB you will lose Google Now and the “Ok, Google!” command.

Cleaning system memory with superuser rights

And although we will further discuss unstable solutions a la Xposed App2SD, which, for example, allow you to replace the application section with a memory card, root users still have more options.

Removing pre-installed programs

If your Android already had third-party applications installed when purchased (Facebook, VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, MTS Assistant), then most likely you will not be able to remove them without superuser rights. This is quite a shame, because they often have significant sizes of 40-160 MB.

The solution is the Titanium Backup program, which allows you not only to make a complete backup of all your applications with their settings, but also to clean the closed system partition from such garbage. To do this, simply select the desired application in the second tab of the program and click “Delete”.

Mounting an SD card as internal memory

As mentioned above, 1.5 GB of a game does not always go completely to the system partition. But for those who have an internal memory of a couple of gigabytes, this does not make it any easier.

Jpg" alt="Folder Mount program" width="150" height="119"> !} The solution is the FolderMount program, which allows you to transfer cache files (that’s what these one and a half gigabytes are called) to a memory card, leaving a shortcut in their place. In this case, the system will still consider that the files are in the old location, which leads to funny oddities in the “Memory” settings section: for example, you can see that you have 8.2 GB of 3.6 GB occupied, while another 0.98 of these 3.6 are completely free.

If FolderMount cannot create a folder on the SD card, do it yourself with any file manager and specify it in the program. You can also immediately copy the files of the transferred program there, deleting them later from the internal memory - it’s more reliable. And if you see a message that mounting is impossible, turn on “Autostart” or “Mount at startup” in the settings and restart your smartphone.

Other partition extension methods

Data-lazy-type="image" data-src="http://androidkak.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/App2SD.png" alt="App2SD App Manager Save Space" width="100" height="100" srcset="" data-srcset="http://androidkak.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/App2SD..png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px"> !} There are other ways to transfer data from the system partition to a card or internal memory. However, most of them are extremely dangerous in the hands of inexperienced users, are only suitable for a certain model/manufacturer, or require a high level of technical skill.

In this article I will look at all the ways to clear memory on Android phones and tablets. In other words: we free up memory for important things and speed up the device.

At the same time, we will learn to clear both RAM (this will speed up the operation of the device) and physical memory (which will free up space for new programs or data).

This article is suitable for all brands that produce phones on Android 10/9/8/7: Samsung, HTC, Lenovo, LG, Sony, ZTE, Huawei, Meizu, Fly, Alcatel, Xiaomi, Nokia and others. We are not responsible for your actions.

Attention! You can ask your question to a specialist at the end of the article.

Types of memory on Android gadgets

Android phones, like computers, use two types of memory:

RAM (RAM) is a random access memory device. It contains data only during the actual operation of the gadget. Turned on applications, browser tabs, running games - all these processes consume some of the RAM.
ROM (ROM) is a read-only memory device. All information is stored in memory until you delete it yourself. This category includes all files on the phone, application cache, etc. (read)

ROM memory in Android devices is divided into built-in (initially located on the device and used to store files, like a hard drive on a PC) and storage (memory card, built-in memory).

When these types of memory run out, the phone begins to malfunction. To eliminate the error, you need to clear the ROM and RAM from “garbage”.

Phone memory usage statistics

First you need to check how much memory is left in the device. We perform the following steps:

Open the phone settings.
Go to the “Memory” menu.
Here you can find detailed information about external and internal memory. The user has access to data about the built-in and external memory. The list is divided into sections, which describe how much memory there is, what it is occupied with, and how much free space is left.
To see what part of the ROM and RAM is free, you need to hold down the “Menu” button on the phone panel.
The window that appears shows a list of running applications. At the bottom there is a button with the inscription “Available...MB from...GB”. There, the second digit means the sum of RAM and ROM, and the first – how much is currently available from the shared memory.

How to clear memory manually?

If you do not want to resort to the help of third-party software, or you do not have free space to install it, then you can clean it manually. By following the procedures below, your phone will work significantly faster:

Deleting messages.
Clearing application and browser caches.
Cleaning files (videos, photos, etc.) saved on the gadget.
Remove unnecessary and old applications.

This cleaning will take more time than working with applications, but the results will be much more effective.

Application cache

A cache is an intermediate buffer containing data that may be requested in the near future. After cleaning it, time can be saved on solving problems and calculating tasks, which will increase the productivity of the gadget.

The file cache accumulates, storing data for every application used and installed. If a blockage occurs, the entire cache must be freed.

Instructions for clearing the cache:

Go to the phone settings menu.
Find the “All applications” menu in the settings.
A manager will open where you can find data on third-party and system applications, cache memory. Sort the list with all programs by size.
Open any program. In the window that appears, you can select “Erase all data” (information on the hard drive will be deleted) and the “Clear cache” option. Click on the second button.

You can repeat this procedure with existing applications to completely clear the cache memory.

Removing “garbage” in the browser

Open a working browser and launch the side menu. There we select the “History” section.
In the window that appears, select “Clear history”.
We set acceptable settings (what exactly to delete, what time period to select, etc.), click on “Delete data”.

These instructions are given using Google Chrome as an example, since it is the standard browser on the Android system. In other browsers, the process of clearing garbage is slightly different.

Deleting messages

If you are using a relatively new phone, then this item is optional. The gadget, which has been in use for several years, contains several thousand messages.

Over time, their number (including MMS with multimedia data) on the internal memory may take up some space. You can completely delete messages like this:

Uninstalling apps

If you cannot install new games or programs, then the permanent memory of the gadget is full. To clear it, you need to remove unnecessary applications through the Android menu.

If your device has firmware installed that does not have a full menu (for example, Meizu or Xiaomi phones), then applications should be deleted directly on the desktop. Touch the application icon with your finger, then drag it at the top of the screen to the trash can.

If the shell of the Android system you are using has a full-fledged menu, then deleting it from the desktop can only lead to. To perform a complete removal, you should go to the menu, also click on the program icon, then move it to the trash.

Deleting files

You can get rid of garbage from the internal drive using a standard file manager. The interface of such applications differs on different phones, so let’s look at the process of cleaning files using ES Explorer as an example:

On your Android phone, go to the Play Market, enter the name of the application in the search bar and click “Install” on the information page.
Launch ES Explorer and study the initial tips. At the top of the screen there is data about the occupied/free space on the internal memory (1), and the “Analysis” icon, which is responsible for conducting an analysis of the required cleaning (2). You must click on the “Cleaning” button (3).
Then the program will analyze the unnecessary information and display a list for you. Click on “Clear” at the bottom of the screen.
Now go to the side menu in the “Local storage” section (1), then select “Device” (2).
You will see a window with all the available folders on the built-in storage. There you can check their contents and remove everything unnecessary. To do this, press and hold the file for 2 seconds, then click “Delete” in the pop-up menu in the bottom panel. This also clears the SD card.
Using ES Explorer, you can clean out your library of music, images, etc. To do this, go to the menu, select the “Libraries” section and go to the required tab (3).
To empty the trash on Android, go through the menu to the “Trash” tab.
You also need to check for hidden files that can take up a large amount of space. To do this, you need to activate “Show hidden files” in the menu, and then go to the folder to check for their presence.

We looked at how manual debris removal is carried out using the ES conductor. Now let's look at examples of memory clearing using other software.

We work with third-party applications

There are many free applications available in the Play Store that allow you to clean your phone in a few clicks. Below we will explore the most practical and popular of them.

Clean Master

This is one of the most famous applications in its category. In Clean Master, you can completely clean your gadget from cache, temporary files, empty and damaged folders, browser history and other garbage.

The utility's options also include a built-in antivirus and automatic closing of unnecessary programs. The application has a convenient and pleasant interface that allows you to clean the gadget by two clicks of the “Analysis” and “Clean” buttons.

System monitoring in Android Assistant

This program is included in the top Play Market and has a fairly wide list of functions:

A process manager that allows you to manage running applications in a couple of touches.
Constant system monitoring. The option provides the user with information about memory status, system load, battery temperature and other useful things.
The App 2 SD option allows you to quickly move installed programs from internal to external memory.
The ability to view a list of applications that launch automatically when you turn on the gadget, as well as disable them.
Clear your phone's memory of unnecessary files by pressing one button.

Total Commander

This utility allows you to organize all the files that are on the gadget. Total Commander and rar. Its capabilities also include transferring and editing the contents of the device from place to place or to another gadget.

Transfer files from Android phone

Transfer files to a flash card

This method is suitable for gadgets that support SD cards. To free up phone memory, all possible files can be transferred to a flash card. This option must be specified in the settings:

Voice recorder.
Cameras.
Messengers.
Browser.
File downloader.

This list can be continued for a long time. Particular attention should be paid to applications that work with “heavy” files. For example, an audio, video or image editor.

When saving files to a memory card, you need to create there (if this is not done automatically) a folder for all applications. Then you can avoid problems with your phone's memory being full.

This option for clearing memory for system files cannot be used. This may cause problems with the performance of the device. To move existing files, you can use the ES Explorer discussed above.

Moving files to Android using a PC

If you synchronize your phone with your computer, you can get many benefits. File sharing will become available, and the amount of free memory can be kept at the desired level.

Connecting your Android device to your computer is very simple. It is enough to connect these devices via a USB cable. This does not require downloading drivers or additional programs.

On modern computer operating systems, the type of connected gadget is easily determined. Its memory can be entered using standard conductors.

A more modern solution is to use the AirDroid program, with which you can move files from Android to PC and vice versa remotely. While away from home, you can download music or a movie from your own media library and run this file on your gadget.

No wires are needed, just a stable Internet network is enough. Both the phone and the PC must be connected to the Internet.

Cloud services

Today there is no need to download the files you need to your phone. They can be uploaded to special cloud services and used if necessary. Almost all leading companies provide users with the opportunity to use cloud services for free.

The most popular cloud storages:

Yandex.Disk.
Google Drive.
[email protected].
OneDrive.

All these solutions have applications for convenient synchronization of files with a remote server. It is enough to install such an application, mark the necessary files to transfer them to the server and clear the phone’s memory. Then, when you need to use such a file, just go to the application and click on it.

This article is a more in-depth continuation of the one in which we described. If you are wondering how to clear internal memory on Android manually or using third-party applications, we will help you find a solution.

Let's look at an example of cleaning on a smartphone. Let's say we bought a new phone with built-in memory 32gigabyte, but in fact only 26 are available. We will not immediately run to the store and return the product, but will begin to figure out what’s wrong.

You can see how much free built-in memory the system has by going to “Settings” and going to “ Memory" or " Storage" It is important to note that each phone model reserves a different amount of memory for the system.

In modern models, the size depends on the brand (Samsung, Lenovo, LG) and Android version (6, 7), on average about 2-5 GB.

Please note that on devices with their own proprietary firmware installed (for example, Xiaomi, Meizu), the memory will initially be occupied even more. The same applies: for the normal functioning of such smartphones, a minimum of 3 GB is required.

How to completely clear Android internal memory

If you do not have SuperSU rights, then of course you won’t be able to clean your smartphone or tablet completely. The absence of this feature seriously limits your actions. After reading our article about how, you can completely remove all junk from your device. But if you do not want to lose the official guarantee, then you can do about half of what is described below.

To free up system memory, follow these step-by-step steps:

Go to menu item "Settings";
Find a section "Applications";
Go to the item "Third Party Applications";
Click on the ellipses in the upper right corner;
Sort the list by size.

Uninstalling an application or its updates

After you have completed the above steps, after a few seconds you will see the largest applications stored on your Android device. If among the list there are programs that you do not use, you just need to delete them.

If item "Delete"no - then Without root rights it will be impossible to do this. In this case, you can select “ Uninstall updates" They can be quite bulky and will help free up some space.

But if you are determined to remove system applications that do not benefit you, we recommend that you read For example, you installed an excellent third-party alarm clock, the built-in one is no longer needed, but it does not want to be removed using the standard method. Also, do not forget that the desire to free up more space may lead to you deleting files necessary for the operating system, and this increases the risk of occurrence.

Stopping the application

Another effective way is to force stop the application. But again, you need to use this function carefully, after all, this can only be done if the application is not a system one.

It is worth remembering that the Android system itself takes up quite a large part of the memory, and nothing can be done about it.

Effectively clean the built-in memory on your phone and tablet

The cleaning process is almost universal and is not particularly different for smartphones and tablets. It is important to take into account the Android version and the brand of your device.

If you have cleaned everything, removed unnecessary applications and still have little memory, there is little choice - you need to get root user rights. If possible, some apps are better.

If you need to clear your phone’s memory in a couple of minutes, this article is for you, especially since no matter how much memory your mobile device has, sooner or later it will run out and you’ll have to get rid of old, unnecessary and simply junk files. Today we will tell you how to clean up junk from your Android phone and free up as much memory as possible.

Types of memory on Android devices

Modern smartphones and tablets have several types of memory, each of which performs its own functions:

RAM memory or random access memory. RAM is a type of memory that ensures the operation of running or already running processes. This is a buffer memory that is used by any applications, both installed and system ones. Data is quickly written and deleted. RAM memory is active when constantly connected to a power source. System information about RAM is available in the Task Managers manager - here you can see the amount of allocated and free memory.
ROM or ROM memory- a type of memory that performs its functions constantly. ROM does not assume the presence of a constant source of energy - the memory is not erased even if the source is turned off. ROM is mostly required to store the Android operating platform. The data stored in this memory is difficult to change in any way; under normal conditions, it is read-only.
Internal memory - Internal phone storage. This type of memory is provided to the owner of the smartphone so that he can store his data. This list includes files, programs, applications, media content, text information and more. Information about the status, amount of used and free memory is available in the settings menu in the corresponding section.
External Micro SD memory. You can write any information to flash memory, edit or delete individual files. A memory card makes it possible to transfer some applications from internal storage to it, freeing up space for system files. Manufacturers offer large amounts of external memory, up to 128 gigabytes.

The easiest and fastest way to clear your phone memory

First easy way— Go to Gallery -> Albums -> Videos or Photos from the camera (if possible, sort the files by size/weight), and then delete the “heaviest” files.
Second easy way— Go to Settings -> Storage -> Cleanup and delete all junk files that were found on your phone using this function.

As we already found out at the beginning of the article, the memory in a phone can be different (internal permanent, operational and external-connected).

Devices with the Android operating system almost constantly use RAM and internal memory. You can quickly and easily clean it using standard means or use third-party software. The device will work much faster if it has enough RAM and as much of it as possible. If the internal memory is practically full, then the smartphone will often begin to generate system errors, randomly reboot, freeze and show low performance.

Users who do not yet know how to clean their phone should use the following tools:

Own functionality of the device;
Third-party software designed for a mobile device;
Personal computer;
Online services - cloud storage.

Any of the proposed methods can be considered quite fast, simple and effective in order to clear the memory of an Android phone.

How to clear internal memory on Android

To improve the performance of the device, you need to clear not only the internal memory, but also the RAM.

To check the status and clear the RAM, you must:

Activate the system key located on the left or right.
View a list of open applications in the window that opens.
View the amount of filled RAM.
Click on the cross on the display and clear the RAM occupied by applications.

The system memory used by the operating system cannot be cleared in this way.

If you don’t have the desire or ability to understand the intricacies of third-party programs, you can carry out the procedure manually, after which the device will work much faster. Manual cleaning methods include:

clearing application and browser caches;
deleting messages;
deleting applications that have not been used for a long time;
Cleaning your phone from files stored on it.

Manually clearing Android phone memory takes longer than automatic cleaning, but gives comparable results.

Deleting messages is important if the device has been used for several years, and the amount of text content amounts to thousands of files. Clearing your phone of messages is done like this:

Go to the “message” application from the desktop.
Press one of the messages with your finger.
In the menu that opens, activate the “select all” item.
Activate the “delete” action.

Uninstalling applications in android

Unnecessary applications that take up space can be deleted through the operating system menu or on the desktop if the device has proprietary firmware. To do this, the application icon is pinched and removed from the desktop.

Advice: If the Android shell has a full-fledged menu, deleting an icon from the desktop will not lead to the elimination of the application. To remove a program, you need to go to the menu and then press the icon and put it in the trash.

Deleting files in android

The internal storage can also be cleaned using the built-in file manager - a standard program that is found on any Android device. The removal algorithm may differ on devices from different manufacturers, but in general the steps must be performed the same.

On most devices, the algorithm of actions is as follows:

Open your phone's desktop and see application icons.
Find the “files” application and go into it.
The file categories and information about the amount of used memory will appear in the window that opens.
Select a category.
In the list of files that opens, select those that need to be deleted or activate the “select all” command.
Delete files.

Transfer applications to a memory card, PC or cloud

To transfer files to the card, you need to use the File Explorer application. We simply launch the application, find files in the phone’s memory, mark them and indicate their future location.
To transfer files to your PC, simply connect your phone via a USB cable to your computer and copy files as if from a flash drive.
To transfer files to the cloud, install the Google Drive application, enter your Google account information (log in), then click on the “Upload” button and select the files that you want to upload to the cloud. Once the data has been uploaded to the cloud, you can delete it from your mobile phone.

We clear memory automatically using Android and third-party applications. Removing cache and garbage in the browser.

The cache in a mobile device is an intermediate buffer containing information that the user can access in the near future. The cache saves computational time, provides faster access, and improves performance. But, if the file cache accumulates, it begins to slow down the system, taking up a lot of memory space.

You can clear the cache in the following way:

Open the device settings menu.
Find the "all applications" section.
Open application manager.
Open each program in the list one by one and activate the “clear cache” button.

Cleaning your phone of debris accumulated in the browser is done in the following way:

Go to the browser.
Open the menu located on the side.
Activate the “clear history” command.
Set the necessary settings: what to delete and for what period of time.
Activate the “delete data” command.

External memory also needs to be cleaned periodically. Cleaning can be soft (manual selective deletion of files) or radical (full formatting (deleting all files) from the memory card). Let's look at each method in more detail.

Manually deleting files

The most effective method of manual cleaning is to remove the heaviest files, usually video, audio files or high-resolution photographs. To delete them, you need to go to the gallery and sort all the files by size, and then delete the heaviest ones.

Tip: If you can’t sort files by size in your mobile device’s gallery, use a file manager. For example Total Commander.

Formatting the external memory of the device

Files from an external drive can be deleted by performing a full format.

The formatting process consists of the following steps:

Go to Android settings.
Search and go to the “Memory” section.
Selecting the “Disconnect SD card” command.
Exit settings.
Go to settings again.
Find and activate the “Clean memory card” command.

We download applications and files directly to the memory card from the Internet

You can learn how to download applications directly to a memory card as follows:

Go to “settings”.
Open the memory section.
Find a subsection with approximate names: “Main memory” or “Default memory”.
Check the “Memory card” option.

If all steps are completed correctly, all applications will be downloaded to the memory card automatically.

Countless annoying advertising banners, slow operation of the device - all these are signs of the presence of virus programs on the device. Viruses must be removed immediately, since malware, in addition to minor ones, causes serious problems - they steal personal information and read user correspondence. To prevent this from happening, you need to install an antivirus program on your smartphone. Any of the well-known antiviruses presented on the Play Market will do.

All you need to do is:

Install any antivirus you like from the Play Market.
Launch the application.
Run a system check.
Wait for the system scan.
Delete malicious files if they were found by the antivirus program.

You can also remove viruses from your smartphone manually. Users usually resort to this method when antivirus scanning does not produce the desired results.

To be sure to get rid of viruses, you need to do the following:

Go to the settings section.
Find the "Application Manager" tab.
Open the list of applications.
Remove applications that were installed shortly before problems with the device began.
Go to the application menu and activate the “delete” command.

How to completely wipe an Android phone without the ability to restore personal files

The easiest way to completely clear memory without the ability to restore files is to reset to factory settings. The internal memory will be cleared 100 percent, and the user will receive a clean Android.
To reset to factory settings you need:

Go to the “settings” section on your smartphone.
Open the “recovery and reset” section.
Activate the “restore factory settings” command.

Applications to clear phone memory

From the numerous list of applications for cleaning RAM and ROM, users speak well of:

. The application removes unnecessary files from memory, garbage remaining from programs, and scans the device for malicious files. The program also helps speed up the phone by optimizing already running processes. Some applications are optimized to cool down an overheating processor.
Mobile Boost. This application is a godsend for owners of smartphones that have been working for quite a long time, since it supports the old version of the operating system. To start the cleaning process, you only need to turn on the application and activate the “Clear” button.
SD Maid. When launched, the program will immediately prompt you to scan, after which it will issue a full report on the state of the memory separately for each section. The user can clear everything completely or do selective deletion by sections. The program also has a built-in file manager.

In order not to get confused in the device interface, it is recommended to clear the device memory with simple and understandable software, for example the ES mobile file manager.
The operating algorithm is as follows:

Go to Play Market.
Find the application in the search bar.

Often Android users cannot see files that take up space in the internal memory. In this case, you need to activate the “show hidden files” function in the program.

One of the unpleasant features of the Android OS is the inefficient use of memory storage. Simply put, the internal storage and SD card become clogged with junk files that do not bring any benefit. Today we will tell you how to deal with this problem.

There are several methods for clearing debris from your device’s memory – using third-party applications and system tools. Let's start with applications.

Method 1: SD Maid

A program whose main purpose is to free drives from unnecessary information. Working with it is simple and convenient.

After installing the application, open it. Tap on the tab "Garbage".

Carefully read the recommendations left by the SD Maid developers, then click on the button in the lower right corner.

If you have root access, give it to the app. If not, the process of scanning the system for junk files will begin. Upon completion, you will see a picture similar to the screenshot below.

Files that can be safely deleted are marked in yellow (as a rule, these are technical components of deleted applications). Red – user information (for example, cache of music from VKontakte clients like VK Coffee). You can check whether files belong to certain programs by clicking on the gray button with the symbol "i".

A single click on an element will launch a delete dialog. To remove all the trash at once, just click on the red button with the image of a trash can.

You can then click on the menu button in the top left corner.

In it you can, for example, find duplicate files, clear information from user applications, etc., however, most of the options presented there require the full version, so we will not dwell on this in detail.
When all procedures are completed, simply exit the application by double-clicking the button "Back". After some time, the manipulation should be repeated, since the memory gets dirty periodically.

This method is good for its simplicity, but for a more complete and accurate removal of unnecessary files, the functionality of the free version of the application is still not enough.

Method 2: CCleaner

Android version of the famous garbage cleaner for Windows. Like the older version, it is fast and convenient.
