"I noticed that these days our smart phones now come with bigger internal storage and I think the least is 32GB, but these storage capacity can drop so quick to 8GB if you are on a budget device"

The 128GB storage capacity on our devices are also not left out of this storage hoolabaloo, cause they also get to fill up when you get too carried away with installing applications, taking photos and videos and also downloading movies to pass the time with on our devices, this pandemic period is the perfect example of boredom and the best way to get through it is be watching movies.

Now without an iota of doubt, I believe the best way to completely free internal storage of your Android smartphone is by performing a factory reset But setting things back up how you want them can take an awful lot of time, and you may lose precious photos, video and other files if they are not properly backed up.

How To Get More Storage On Your Android Smartphone

Delete Cache Files

Go to your device internal memory, tap on the three dots on the top right hand side and click on "Show Hidden Files" you should see some kinda invisible folders, click and hold on to the folders and delete them, once done you can go back and "Hide Hidden Files".

Delete WhatsApp 'Msgstore' Database

Go to your device internal memory, locate and click on "WhatsApp" click on "Databases" you should see some files in this format "msgstore-2020-04-07.1.db.crypt12" delete them all, leaving the only the one in this format "msgstore.db.crypt12".

Move Media's With Huge Size Off Internal Memory

Photos and videos take up a crazy amount of space, and the more storage space you have the less likely you are to routinely go through your file manager looking for files to delete. If your device has space for a MicroSD add one and automate the saving of such media to microSD.

Backup Data To Google Drive

It's safe to say the majority of Android phones run on Google's services, so in other words, it makes sense to make use of Google's other cloud-storage tools, too. Though your document files will take up significantly less space (unless you have a lot of them or a lot of multiple-page PDFs for example), all these can be moved to Google Drive. As with Photos, this will create a useful backup and make those files accessible from any online device.

Uninstall Unused Applications And Games

Since recent Android versions no longer allow users to move their installed apps and games to SD card, it is imperative that you uninstall unused applications and games and the best way to go about this is to visit the Apps menu in Settings.

Or better still you can also access a list of the apps and games you have downloaded by opening Google Play Store, choosing Settings, My apps & games, then selecting the installed tab. To delete anything here just tap on it, then choose Uninstall.

I always obey the prompt to delete some unnecessary files or documents on my phone. Whenever I ignore it, my phone will begin to protest over time.

Thanks for this

Can someone reply to this pls

If I back up my messages, does the back up include configuration settings too?

As in, when I restore back up, will my configuration settings also come back after I cleared everything on the phone?

Very good info. One should make use of the Google cloud, only that it saps data
