Modern smartphones and tablets are increasingly equipped with a built-in storage device at 16, 32 or even 64 GB. However, budget models are found with a more modest storage stock - 8 GB and less. The place quickly ends and the question arises - how to clean the internal memory of the phone on android?

Using the built-in device functions

The first method will not require the user downloading third-party applications from Play Market, because the Android system has everything you need to analyze and optimize the site used. It will not work fine tuning, however, in 70% of cases, such a cleaning helps to identify and remove the main "eaters" of memory.

First of all, it is worth cleaning the cache - such an action will not affect personal information and free a couple of hundreds of megabytes in memory. But before you delete the data - remember:
If you erase the application data, it will be completed from your accounts, and the photos and video stored in the phone memory will disappear. This is especially true for messengers - Viber, WhatsApp and Telegram.
The application itself will not disappear anywhere, so if many unnecessary photos have accumulated in the social network folders - the data can be smelted.

The procedure can be carried out for several applications, resulting from free from 200 to 600 MB of space.

Full memory cleaning and deleting all files

If the task is not to clear the smartphone from the "garbage", and completely delete data, including photos, music, video and applications - will help another way.

These ways are suitable for freeing memory on LG, LENOVO and devices of most manufacturers.

How to Clean the internal memory Samsung?

For tablets and smartphones of the Korean giant running Android 6.0 and newer, the instruction is slightly different. The reason for this is the built-in resource used optimizer created in collaboration with Clean Master.

If you are a happy gadget owner from Samsung, follow these steps:

Clearing memory using third-party programs

Play Market available 2-3 dozen applications designed to optimize the site used. Let's wonder the top three:

Using a memory card for data storage

If the memory card is installed on your device, you can transfer photos, videos and music. To do this, go to the memory section in the smartphone settings (how to do it - shown above), and select Transfer data to the SD card.
You can also move some applications to the memory card. To check whether the application supports such a function - go to the smartphone settings, open the application tab and select the desired one. If the transfer button on the SD card is highlighted and highlighted, the selected program can be removed from the internal storage to the external one.

Tip! Do not forget to make backup copies of your device data. To make a phone or tablet backup, it is enough to choose a suitable program and.

Other Memory Clearing Methods

If root rights are received on the phone, you can remove unnecessary applications installed at the production stage, and free part of the internal storage. Below is a table comparing three proven utilities for such purposes.

Program	Root uninstaller	Root app Deleter.	Root Cleaner | System Eraser
Price	Is free	Is free	240 rubles.
Delete system software	Yes	Yes	Yes
Restoring applications	Supported	Absent	Supported
"Freezing" bulky	Yes	Not	Not
Backup.apk on an SD card	there is	there is	there is
Filtering list list	Yes	Only sorting	Yes

Another simple way to optimize the internal storage is to stop keeping it photos and downloaded files from the Internet. The automatic saving function on the SD card is in most popular browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera.

Each smartphone has a limit on the installed memory. Part of it is used necessary for work by system resources, the rest of the space is allocated under user-user-downloaded program, photographs, video, audio files. The more important to enjoy the smartphone, the faster all the free memory is filled, the need to clean it. To understand how to clear the phone's memory on android, it is necessary to deal with its types, to understand where system files are stored, which internal and external resources can be used for their information.

Types of memory on android

The modern gadget on the Android system is a small computer, in which there are all the modules inherent in this device - processor, constant and operational storage devices, power supply. For storage of used programs, there are built-in and external drives. The built-in consists of a permanent storage device and an operational storage device. External - connected additionally as an SD card.

Built-in

Accumulative chips that are located on the main board are called the built-in memory. Mandatory for the operation of the device are the constant storage device (ROM or ROM), the chip of the operational storage device (RAM or RAM). The ROM volume is one of the main characteristics of the device. It defines the number of programs, applications, other user information, which can be placed on the smartphone without attracting additional devices. RAM affects the speed of simultaneous execution of several programs.

External storage

Expand the features of the gadget for storing user files and additional programs can connect an external drive (SD card). For this purpose, a special slot (or connector) is provided in the device, which can be hidden under the lid of the instrument or entered into the end panel. The dimensions of external drives have several sizes that depend on the manufacturer and volume. The size of the memory of external drives can be seamless under the tasks of the user, its needs for storing audio, photo, video, texts, additional programs.

Operational (RAM)

The operational storage chip is an integral part of the built-in memory. Its volume is divided between system programs and user-run applications. The greater the volume of RAM, the greater part of it can be used to start and permanently operation of several programs in active mode. If there is not enough RAM to work for all launched programs, the system has the ability to reserve a part of a permanent storage device for operational tasks. When the device is turned off, all information in RAM is erased.

Permanent storage device (ROM)

The placement of all major system programs of the smartphone or tablet system android system installed by the user program is made on a permanent storage device. A part of its volume occupy system files to which the device processor is referred to when it turns on, off, reboot, other user actions. The remaining volume when buying a device is free for the purposes and tasks of the buyer. When the device is turned off, all information on the ROM is saved.

How to find out how much memory

You can determine the used volume of the built-in and external drive by performing several simple manipulations with the device:

1. Open settings
2. Go to the section "Memory"
3. We see the total volume, the list of sections, the amount of free space.
4. To determine the free volume of RAM and the ROM, click the "Menu" button.
5. We see what part is occupied by system modules, cache - temporary files, different executable programs. Below is a button indicating how free is free and is available at the moment.

Error: not enough memory on mobile device

Usually, the android gives such a message if the process or application lacks free space in the internal memory of the phone.

The lack of memory can make themselves to felt permanent hangs. If, when buying a phone, it is unnoticed, then over time, after installing dozens of mobile applications and fascinating "garbage" you begin to notice it.

The question arises: the characteristics of the phone "lie"? If not, why do others have the same smartphone / tablet work stably?

Check the amount of free memory on android

When notification is notified of the insufficient amount of internal memory, the question arises: how much memory is available, what part of it is occupied?

You can check free space through the mobile phone settings. To do this, go to the settings - Memory options (Settings - Device Maintenance - Storage - Storage Settings - Device Memory). Carefully learn the data paying attention to the following numbers:

• Total (Total Space) - Android internal memory
• System Memory (System Memory) - minimum space reserved for system operation
• Available place (Available Space) - how many places in the internal memory remain.

Accordingly, if the built-in memory is not enough, you need to increase the memory on the phone to the sizes of the System Memory so that the system does not give the appropriate error.

In the following chapters, I will tell you how to clean the inner memory on android.

Clearing internal phone memory

You can delete unnecessary through the built-in operating system tools and by third-party applications. They analyze the occupied space, help identify files that can be safely removed.

Deleting Applications from Android System Memory

Surely on your phone installed applications that are hanging in dead cargo and are not used for destination. Their size can reach hundreds of megabytes (taking into account the cache).

You can remove useless programs through the standard application manager: Options - Settings - Application Manager (Settings - Apps).

Android 8 to calculate unnecessary applications it is convenient to use the free Files Go utility. For other versions of the OS, it is available for download via Google Play.

How to remove unnecessary applications in Files GO:

1. We go to the Unused Apps section,
2. We sort applications by modification date or size,
3. To remove, we note unnecessary programs with checkmarks and click Uninstall.

Video deletion video design:

Transfer files to the memory card

The internal memory of the phone, as already mentioned, has a fixed volume, so it is necessary to constantly check if there is enough free space for the correct operation of applications and OS.

In general, android memory is divided into inner and external. The outer memory is easy to "increase", the benefit that the SD cards are inexpensive today (for $ 25 you can purchase a memory card by 256 GB).

Actually, you can transfer files through any file manager via the phone or PC.

Move unnecessary applications from the internal to an external memory card

As an alternative to CCleaner, it is convenient to use the aforementioned Files Go application.

How to increase memory on android manually

Any file manager is suitable for manually cleaning the phone's memory. We advise ES Explorer or Total Commander.

Be careful and delete only unnecessary user files in the internal memory of the Android, which you created / copied yourself.

So, open the file manager, go in the root of the internal memory, begin to search and remove unnecessary.

What files are desirable to delete (transfer to the memory card) first:

1. Photos, video, recordings on the voice recorder and other documents stored not on SD, but in internal memory;
2. Documents received by mail or through social networks (most often they are saved to the download folder);
3. E-books and other files saved by third-party applications in the device's memory;
4. Content DCIM folders, Bluetooth, Sounds.

Using Storage Analyzers (for clarity)

For clarity, we advise you to use the Files Go app or any other Storage Analyzer for Android, which will show which files do the most disk space and where they are located in the form of a chart. Among such applications, we note:

Transfer photos and video to Google Photos

It is the photos and videos "eat" the most space on the phone, due to them you can quickly release the place on the memory card or in the built-in storage. If your phone does not support a memory card, move the files to which you are infrequently in the cloud. The photos, or Google Photos is best suited for this. It automatically downloads photos to the service where they are available in original quality through a browser or application.

In addition to Google Photos, you can pay attention to alternatives as dropbox, Flickr or Microsoft OneDrive.

Even when photos are available only on the server, you can easily get access if you have the Internet. And most importantly, it is really a convenient and fast way to free a couple of gigabytes internal memory!

Each method is focused on the knowledge and features of users. Therefore, the available methods in our article are lined up ascending difficulty. Let's start with the simplest ...

Memory Cleaning Built in Android

Android has a general basic analysis of the busy internal memory space. Detailed analysis offers only third-party applications, for example. But basic analysis is enough to find out what memory is spent.

In Android version 5.0, a graph appeared with a cache count - temporary data. Such files appear in the process of using applications. The more often the programs are actively used, the more cache is accumulated. Some users, the amount of temporary files is 500 - 2500 MB.

To clean the cache, do the following:

Main advantages

1. A simple and easy way to clean time files.
2. The ability to free up to 3 GB of disk space.

Basic Disadvantages

1. No information on the type of file deleted.
2. Unable to remove duplicate or other unused files.

Clearing phone memory with third-party applications

Third-party applications offer an in-depth analysis and extended memory cleaning. For example, the application can clean the cache, as in the previous method. And delete applications and search for file duplicates. The program offers manual and automatic cleaning method. This allows you to mark and remove more "unnecessary" files at a time.

Some similar programs analyze the use of applications. Unused or rarely used applications are proposed to be deleted.

If there are system applications, it is allowed to remove or freeze. Also move to the memory card, which is relevant for bulk games.

Work such applications on one principle:

1. After starting, it is proposed to click on the analysis button.
2. The application scans the memory, and the report indicates recommended to delete files.
3. Cleaning is performed by one button.

Phone Cleaning SD Main Application

Main advantages

1. Cleaning unnecessary files in 2-3 touch.
2. Advanced search for unnecessary files, duplicates and empty folders.
3. Detection of unused and rarely used applications.

Basic Disadvantages

1. Preview of the deleted files is desirable.
2. Some functions are available only in paid versions of the program.
3. To remove or freezing system applications you need root.

Manual cleaning of smartphone memory

Manual cleaning is the best and safe way to delete unnecessary files. The procedure is long and monotonous, as it is necessary to check the attachments of each folder separately. The skills of working with the Android file system are important, as well as understanding, for which a certain file is responsible. In this case, it is noticeably below the likelihood of accidental deletion of important information, in comparison with automatic cleaning.

For manual cleaning it will be necessary, it is desirable with the function of the "Analyzer of Busy Space". Suit the same. Large selection of file managers, look in our applications.

Algorithm of actions:

Main advantages

1. Low probability of accidental deletion of important files.
2. Detailed analysis and cleaning of unnecessary information.
3. Minimum applications requires a fairly ordinary file manager.

Basic Disadvantages

1. Long and monotonous process.

Optimization of indoor space

1. Unused games and applications.
2. Replace some programs with lightweight versions.
3. Use external storage for offline cards, music, photos.

5. If you have root rights, surround games on the memory card. If root is absent, and you are not playing not frequent, keep additional files on the memory card. Before the game, copy the data folder into the desired directory of the internal drive, and at the end of the game, delete the folder.
6. Specify the folder in the browser to save files on the external drive. In which browser is supported by such a function, look in ours.
7. Internal section with an external drive if the memory is not enough.
8. Check the system. Select the optimal program will help.

Reset phone settings

The latter, radical method of cleaning Android. Reset will delete all data on the inner disk, including most viruses. It will also return to the initial state of the application and system settings.
