Our smartphones store information or data from installed applications like social networking apps, etc, unless we have an Android device with masses of storage, we'll probably have to deal with a shortage of space sooner or later.
But don't feel fret, because there are so many ways to get around this problem, such as clean Android ‘junk’ and cache files, uninstall unused Apps on Android, clear out Android App data,, etc.
Following article will introduce some easy but efficient ways to free up storage on Android.
1. Clean your Android junk and cache files
This is something which we need to do periodically. These files including cache files for most apps, APKs that may still be lingering around on our device, temp files and folders, etc. Let's follow below steps to remove our Android phone’s cache files.
