Here is how to free up space on Android quickly: open Settings > Storage<\/strong> to see what is filling your phone, run the cleaner in Files by Google, archive apps you rarely use, and delete photos and videos that are already backed up. Those four steps usually clear several gigabytes in a few minutes, without losing anything you care about.<\/p>\n

Below are 12 ways that actually work, in the order we’d try them, with the menu names Google gives for Pixel and stock Android and the ones Samsung gives for Galaxy phones. Menus can differ a little by phone maker and Android version, but the tools are the same on almost every Android phone.<\/p>\n

Quick answer:<\/strong> On a Pixel, go to Settings > Storage > Free up space. On a Samsung Galaxy, go to Settings > Device care > Storage. Then: (1) clear junk files in Files by Google, (2) archive or uninstall unused apps, (3) remove the phone copies of photos already in Google Photos, (4) empty the trash, and (5) clear big app caches and downloads such as WhatsApp media.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
