Has your Android smartphone started to work slower and there is almost no free space left on the device? Don't worry, this is a common problem that many users face.

Luckily, there are several simple and effective ways to free up your device's memory and restore its performance to its former glory.

Clearing application cache

Cache files are created by storage apps so that you can access them faster. However, these files can take up a lot of space on your device.

Remove unnecessary applications

If you're running low on storage on your Android device, a good way to free up space is to uninstall apps you no longer need. Some apps can take up a lot of space, especially if they're constantly running in the background.

Delete the offline downloads folder

Offline content is content that you have saved on your device so that you can access it without an internet connection. You may also have downloaded it for a specific purpose but forgotten about it.

Back up your images to cloud storage or Google Photos

Backing up your data to the cloud or Google Drive is a great way to keep your files and photos safe and free up space on Android.

When you delete photos and videos from your device, your backups are saved to Google Photos so you can restore them whenever you want.

To use this Google Photos feature, you need to enable the Backup & Sync feature in Google Photos to access free cloud storage.

Delete old messages from your device

You may not believe it, but messages take up a lot of space on your phone. Whether it's the default messaging app or other apps like Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram, or others.

Text messages and chat media content such as videos, images, stickers, GIFs, and emojis can take up 10 to 20GB of your phone's internal storage.
