One method that we often overlook is emptying the recycle bin. On Samsung phones, deleting files doesn't necessarily mean they are permanently removed immediately. Instead, they are moved to the recycle bin, taking up valuable storage space. By regularly emptying the recycle bin, you can free up storage space on your phone.
To empty the recycle bin on a Samsung device, you can follow these steps:
Step 1. Open the "Gallery" app or "My Files" app on your Samsung phone.
Step 2. In the "Gallery" app, tap on the three-dot menu icon located at the top right corner of the screen. In the "My Files" app, tap on the three-line menu icon located at the top left corner of the screen.
Step 3. From the menu that appears, select the "Recycle bin" or "Trash" option.
Step 4. Once you are in the recycle bin or trash folder, you'll see a list of files that have been deleted but not yet permanently removed.
Step 5. Tap on the three-dot menu icon or select the "More" option. Choose the "Empty" or "Empty trash" option from the menu.
Many of us have installed some apps on our phones that we haven't used for a long time. Uninstalling these apps can not only improve the device's performance but also free up storage on Samsung phones. Follow these steps to uninstall unused apps:
Step 1. Navigate to the Settings page on your device and tap on "Apps" > "Manage apps". Select the app you want to remove from your device and tap "Uninstall".
Step 2. In the pop-up window, tap "OK" and wait for the app to be removed from your device.
You can also directly uninstall an app from the main interface by long-pressing the app you want to uninstall and then selecting "Uninstall" from the options that appear.
Most of the storage space on the phone is taken up by duplicate photos, videos, and documents. If you don't want to use a tool, you'll have to manually sift through and delete these duplicate files one by one. Of course, you can also easily identify and clean up these files using a file manager or dedicated duplicate file removal tool to increase Samsung phone storage.
App caches can speed up the performance of apps, but accumulated over time, they become another significant consumer of phone storage space. By regularly clearing app caches, you can expand storage on Samsung devices while ensuring that apps maintain good performance. To directly clean the app cache on a Samsung device:
Step 1. Open the Settings app on your Samsung phone and scroll down to select "Apps".
Step 2. Tap on the app you wish to clear the cache for, then select "Storage".
Step 3. Within the Storage menu, tap on "Clear cache" to remove the app's temporary files and junk data. This will expand my Samsung phone's storage.
