Does your smartphone sometimes feel slow and unresponsive?
Learn how to free up space on your smartphone by effectively emptying the trash in your applications.
Follow these simple steps to make your device run more smoothly.
First, where do deleted files go? In the ‘trash’ folder of each application.
For example, on **Samsung devices**, different apps have their own trash:
– **Samsung Gallery** or **Studio**: Tap the three bars at the bottom, then select “Trash.” Open it, tap the three dots, and select “Empty.”
– **My Files app**: Scroll down, tap “Trash,” then empty it.
– **Google Photos**: Tap “Library,” then “Trash” to recover or permanently delete photos.
– **Third-party file managers**: Open the menu, go to “Trash,” select files, and delete them permanently.
Regardless of your smartphone model, you can access the trash at any time. Here’s how on **Android**:
– Open the corresponding app as mentioned earlier.
– Access the trash.
– Delete or restore files as needed.
Here’s how to clear the Android cache, whether on a new or old version:
– **For recent versions**: Go to “Settings” → “Apps” → Select an app → “Storage” → “Clear Cache.”
– **For older versions**: Open “Settings” → “Internal Shared Storage” → “Cached Data” → Clear it.
Different phone models have different storage settings, but the general process remains similar.
To keep your device running smoothly, avoid overloading it with unnecessary files.
