How To Free Up Internal Memory Space On Android Phone
Is your Android phone internal memory space running low? Don't worry, there is a fix for it and its pretty easy.
Having experienced it myself, I looked for solutions to it and I got a few tricks that works.
The steps to fix this issue are highlighted below.
1. One of the ways to free up space is to move apps to SD card. You can do this in the simplest way or in a more cumbersome way.
The simple way is to download App2SD (App Mgr III) app on Google Play Store (it needs your phone to be rooted for it to work).
Once installed, it will show you various apps installed on your phone internal storage and SD card storage. It will also show lists of apps that can be moved to SD card, those that can't be moved and the percentages of free space left on both memory types as indicated in the images below.
Now all you have to do is tap on any apps listed in the "Movable" section and move these apps that are movable to your SD card. This will free up space on your internal memory.
The cumbersome way which would bring you finally to the place to move apps to your choice storage is to go to Settings/Apps, click on individual app to see if you can move it to SD card. If you can move to SD card, just tap on Move to SD storage or Phone Storage as applied to your device.
Its cumbersome because you have to check each app one after the other to know if its movable or not. If its not movable, it would be greyed out and you won't be able to click on "Move to Phone Storage" button.
2. Another thing that eats internal memory space is apps cache, especially those apps that aren't movable to SD card, high volume SMS messages, voluminous call logs and browser history and caches.
To fix this, just download an app called 1 Tap Cleaner (free in Google Play Store). Once it's downloaded, launch and click on History. This would bring up a window which you can then clear history etc.
You can do same for Call log/text message or just click on Clear All to allow the app automatically work its magic. Once this is done, you would notice a sizable space on your internal memory.
3. Finally, we are all in the habit of installing apps that we hardly use or don't use at all.
Try and uninstall apps you don't need, especially those apps in internal memory alone. Apps in external memory also have ties and data in the internal memory. Therefore, having too much apps on the SD will tell on the Internal Memory too. You should remove apps that are not too useful.
Now assuming you have done all the steps above, you should have some space on your internal memory. But, if you still have serious issues on your phone internal memory, your final step is to reset the phone. This would return the phone to factory settings so that all the junks clogging the internal memory are wiped out.
Ideally, only the internal memory files would be removed, all SD files will remain.
In other to reset, go to Settings, scroll down and click on Backup & Reset and then click on Factory data reset, finally, click on Reset phone.
Once the device is reset, you phone will reboot and be as new.
