Smartphone and memory full, Panda Security shows you in a few steps how to free up space for your vacation photos and make your smartphone work better
Who knows how many times it has happened to each of us to be faced with the need to delete files, images, videos from their phone because our smartphone’s internal memory was full. A situation of embarrassment, in which to choose between keeping alive the memory of some important moments of the past and the desire to capture a situation, an event, a meeting that is taking place in that precise moment in front of our eyes.
A dilemma that could arise again soon, considering the upcoming holidays and the opportunities to immortalize the pleasant moments that will see us as protagonists. Furthermore, let’s not forget that a saturated memory also negatively affects the general performance of the phone, slowing down the speed of execution and opening of files. Panda Security suggests which are the best and free ways to manage device memory and clean Android of unnecessary files without having to download new apps.
First, let’s clarify a fundamental concept. Most of today’s phones have a lot of storage space, but memory fills up quickly for two main reasons: we save a lot of photos and videos, which take up a lot of space, and apps save a lot of data in their caches.
The first thing to do is set up a periodic backup of Android device files to make sure you don’t lose them. Once this step is completed, we can ask the device to periodically clean up Android of old files.
Go to Settings> Storage and tap on the first item in the list that appears, Manage Storage. On the new screen, tap Off and OK on the pop-up message. Now tap Remove Photos and Videos and choose the time range for deleting files. For example, if you set “Over 30 days”, Android will automatically remove all photos and videos older than a month, but only if you have backed them up first (this operation is particularly useful for those who use WhatsApp or similar).
Here are the simplest and most useful methods to clean Android and free up space manually:
The ideal is periodically clearing app caches, such as once a month. To do this, open Memory again and browse the various categories. For example, in More apps tap Chrome and then the CLEAR CACHE button. Some applications like Chrome allow you to manage storage. Touch MANAGE SPACE, read the items carefully and select the settings and features that suit your needs. Other apps like Drive allow you to clear user data as well. In general, this data is important and includes the files you have saved in the apps, so we advise you NOT to touch them. The important thing is to clear the cache of the apps you use the most, such as Maps and any mobile games.
In summary, we recommend that you:
Furthermore, we remind you that the performance of your Android smartphone or tablet also depends on the absence of malware. A clean device, thanks to the use of an effective antivirus, is also faster. What do you think about it? Let us know in the comments and keep following us on the TechGameWorld.com pages!
