The secret to this with old phones was, first of all u had access to ALL your folders, now everything seems to be hidden. And so you would go to My Files, select certain amount of folders and check the "weight" to pin point which one had all those GB. It took me years to figure that out on my own. I've never seen anyone use that method in yt. You can still use this method to trim maybe 1 or 2 GB of space. For example, i have about 4GB between photos and videos, but i found a total of 6 GB by searching folder weight. I know theres 2 GB of stuff i can delete. Problem is, u have to be on top of this cause eventually it'll fill right up again.
I deleted 600 something raw files from my SD card because it was starting to get full, just a massive amount of data. It locked up at about 100% in the moving to trash phase. After I use device cleanup and it closed the app there were six hundred something raw files in my trash and I emptied it. Literally maybe 30 minutes later I tried to open my gallery in it said "free up some space some features may not be available" and when I looked both my phone and my SD were at 99% full. Even though my SD card should have had at least 40 gigs free after I deleted that folder. Why isn't there a built in defrag program on these fucking computers we call phones?

I just did it on my A32 5g. I used smart switch and transfered my info onto my tab s8, factory reset it and then transfered back all the apps from tablet to A32 and in the process it allows you to pick and choose only what you want to transfer back. It was fairly painless and took about an hour but it cleared all that other storage. It's the only sure fire way.
They did this intentionally on the older phones you could go to your settings and you would see that it copies every picture you have in a clip tray once you delete it half of the space becomes free on your phone this time on these new phones it's storing them but not letting you access them there's no SD card and there's no way to get to that file where it's being stored you gotta get the Samsung somehow because they created this c***
I found the folder on my phone and deleted the duplicates years ago. Worked perfectly. Im trying to do the same thing now and delete those copies, but I cannot for the life of me find it on this newer phone. It's my phone, let me see the files!
@abhichi it truly depends on what model phone you have the only way I know now is to transfer file to a external hard drive via a laptop but still it never get fully clean it's as if it duplicates files for what idk?
I agree with this comment. This process created more files with the same pictures and added a lot of them just "here and there" now I lost more space and I keep receiving offers to pay a monthly fee to get more space for pictures. Several people have tried to help me recover my photos after I followed this video. All of them tell me they don't know what the heck I have done to my phone. What did I do? I watched this video and spent approximately 40 hours total working on recovering space....that's what I did and that quadrupled pictures into different spots, deleted tons, I lost videos, ect.
Here's another one you should do. Try to go to apps on the setting and set it to see the system application and look for "package installer" once you find it go to the app and select the app storage and clear all data. This should clear up some space and won't change a thing at all
@@Winterbear013 yes it will if it's downloaded it will never delete stuff thats already been downloaded from "package installer" or "files" just removes the storage thats been installed on the package installer nothing changes but free space
I'm a content creator, so I go through ALOT footage on my phone (galaxy s10e). Either way, I couldn't figure out why my "other storage" was so freaking high! I unfortunately factory reset my phone, which kinda helped, but the issue came back. Long story short, if you are rotating a bunch of clips from horizontal to vertical, then "video editor" app is saving a bunch of background data in "other storage" just in case you want to revert a media clip to how it used to be. Go to storage settings and clear the data for that app (not just the cache). Hopefully that helps somebody out there struggling.
@@oliviaboatwright3826 not on the video editor app. But if you're scared of doing that. Then the second option is to get "media guardian app" it let's you see duplicate files on your phone that samsung doesn't consider to be duplicates
Hi in my storage on my Samsung galaxy A21s it has on other 15.43 gb taking my storage I can't download apps and I have to close every app when I go onto zoom to get a 1Gb to use it. I have some apps on the sd card too. It doesn't matter how much I clear cache it won't give me the storage back please let me know I only have 98% left out
There is no solution. I have gone to multiple service centers even had a chance to discuss this with Samsung engineers. Only solution is to format. Thats it. Kindly pin this comment for everyone out there having this issue

Yes. I think this is a "game" from developer android or whatever product company to irritated us and forced to buy a new phone periodically. I mean how can they easily labeled file as "other" while it consume 60% of the storage....
I figured out that the huge amount of system storage is Samsung's way of getting us to keep upgrading to their newest, costliest phones. There is no other explanation. My Samsung Galaxy 10 had 32 GB of storage, and 18GB was system storage. Storage quickly filled up. I upgraded to my A32 5G with 64 Gb of storage. I have 16 GBof a]s I have installed, and less than 3 Gb in media and documents... 19 GB... and yet I keep getting a warning to apps because there is 60 GB of the phone's 64 GB that are used and I am running out of storage memory! WTH? The only explanation is that the sustenance bloatware intrntionally increases to use up all the storage space so we have to keep buying new phones with more storage.
@@pmarengo21 I had similar suspicion. I have galaxy A23 with 128 gb storage but it has 40gb of system files. Some years ago, windows 7 on my laptop didnt have so much system storage but there is a lot more i could do on computer than my phone. This phone has 6 gb Ram but i cant even minimize folders and work on 2 things at once like i can do on computer. This kind of problem arises when companies become too big. When companies are small or just starting out, they try to impress people and gain customers through innovation and useful services. As they start getting big, they take their customers and success for granted and think they can continue to make profits by selling low quality products through deceit and manipulation. Samsung and google have played themselves out. I am thinking of buying huwai phones now.

Thank you so much for sharing this! It bought me back 4 gb and my phone wouldn't stop shutting things down saying I was out of storage and things weren't functioning right.
Wow thanks man😂when I figured out how to do this on my phone it brought me back around 10GB of space🤣& cleared about 5GB of that from the Other category.
Guys basically "others" folder is the data you download in apps and the cache stored in apps. The other day I deleted like 10 gb worth of cache and the others storage went down like 8gb. So clear your cache😊
I don't even have this Other folder on Galaxy a235G (US version). My Files app shows Internal memory 53gb taken out of 64. When I click at internal memory, then select all (almost 7000 files) the Details of selection shows only 5.6GB occupied not 53! Where the hell the 47.4 GB got hidden? I can see the folders in Internal memory but there is no "Other" folder.
@@SergSpace yeah sometimes old phones don't have these "other" files and don't show cache in internal storage. My father had the same problem. After I manually cleared every cache from settings , his phone was smooth as hell. Try clearing out cache.
@@Doggo_is_sus Galaxy A23 5G was released in 2022. Mine is not even a 1 year old, keep getting System updates. It doesn't slow down, I just can't find the junk stuff which filled up internal memory.
2:40 if you turn off one of these does something happens to your phone? it says that if we turn it off some apps might not work correctly or we couId be forcing off something vital
Well, i bought a brand new phone and I checked "other" file is just below 1gb. That's good, let's see a month later. If it's increases that MUCH, then android OS were truly F##### up. Ps: My older phone has 18gb on "other" files while maximum storage is 32gb. Pretty much deleted everything (games, whatsapp ect) but 18gb "other" is still there. How can they easily labelled files as other while it consumed 60% of max storage? ? I think the phone company was playing s### so they forced us to purchase app to clean it, or even forced us to buy new phone periodically.
Help is it possible to move the other category to a sd card because my sd card is pretty much empty and i don't want to delete my apps the defeats the point
I have 1/2 the apps and I backed up most of my pictures and videos and how 128gb is filled 128gb, 107gb "other". It's crazy. I see a push for cloud storage, problem is, on my account, I'm not allowed to remove my information that I pay for. Google are criminals

Soooo long story short deletes our stuff. The bloatwear on samsung s20 ultra is disgusting. Pretty much why I didn't want one or 5G should be able to turn it off as well.
I watch this video to findeout how to delete other section in internal storage and the title of video is the same as what I look for , and you dont say anything about it !
I accidentally saved an image and or msg sent to me that I was trying to delete, I hit the down arrow that was under the photo at bottom of screen that has a horizontal bracket under it, trying to delete the photo and or msg. The android reply after hitting that arrow was; 'Photo saved in your msg stored media' How do I open this 'stored media' area, so I can delete the image and or msg?
In can't go into usage data. Several apps I don't want and they can't be deleted. Like Netflix and Gmail. I did not put them on, the factory did and they can't be deleted. That would help as my storage is small. Any ideas. Thanks

Mine is still at 98. Honestly if this doesn't work I'm just gonna give up & find a new phone with less crappy storage. Because my old androids never gave me this much issues.

Go to storage settings and clear the data for that app (not just the cache).
Hopefully that helps somebody out there struggling.
You just made my day.👍
Which app?
Wont clearing the data wipe all your Accounts and info off?
@@oliviaboatwright3826 not on the video editor app. But if you're scared of doing that. Then the second option is to get "media guardian app" it let's you see duplicate files on your phone that samsung doesn't consider to be duplicates
Really thankful to u
Hi in my storage on my Samsung galaxy A21s it has on other 15.43 gb taking my storage I can't download apps and I have to close every app when I go onto zoom to get a 1Gb to use it. I have some apps on the sd card too. It doesn't matter how much I clear cache it won't give me the storage back please let me know I only have 98% left out
There is no solution. I have gone to multiple service centers even had a chance to discuss this with Samsung engineers. Only solution is to format. Thats it. Kindly pin this comment for everyone out there having this issue
hey man can you tell me what it means to format?
Factory reset
Find it in options but this will delete all photos, files, apps so do backup of things you want

This is exactly why i hate android
😂
@@albratroxTF UR MEAN
So annoying 😡
100 used storage 😂 my phone 😂
You just can't randomly have 30 GB of "other" data. This is way over complicated for a reason we all know.
For me in files it's tells 5.7gb buat in gallery it just 1 gb
Yes. I think this is a "game" from developer android or whatever product company to irritated us and forced to buy a new phone periodically. I mean how can they easily labeled file as "other" while it consume 60% of the storage....
Yes, very true. Also apple does it and the got caught.

I figured out that the huge amount of system storage is Samsung's way of getting us to keep upgrading to their newest, costliest phones. There is no other explanation. My Samsung Galaxy 10 had 32 GB of storage, and 18GB was system storage. Storage quickly filled up. I upgraded to my A32 5G with 64 Gb of storage. I have 16 GBof a]s I have installed, and less than 3 Gb in media and documents... 19 GB... and yet I keep getting a warning to apps because there is 60 GB of the phone's 64 GB that are used and I am running out of storage memory! WTH? The only explanation is that the sustenance bloatware intrntionally increases to use up all the storage space so we have to keep buying new phones with more storage.
@@pmarengo21 I had similar suspicion. I have galaxy A23 with 128 gb storage but it has 40gb of system files. Some years ago, windows 7 on my laptop didnt have so much system storage but there is a lot more i could do on computer than my phone. This phone has 6 gb Ram but i cant even minimize folders and work on 2 things at once like i can do on computer.
This kind of problem arises when companies become too big.
When companies are small or just starting out, they try to impress people and gain customers through innovation and useful services. As they start getting big, they take their customers and success for granted and think they can continue to make profits by selling low quality products through deceit and manipulation.
Samsung and google have played themselves out. I am thinking of buying huwai phones now.

@@jennylindoff4453 I'm glad it helped🤗
Wow thanks man😂when I figured out how to do this on my phone it brought me back around 10GB of space🤣& cleared about 5GB of that from the Other category.
Thank you so much for this tip bro! Ur a saviour!
This Worked! Should be Pinned Comment!
Guys basically "others" folder is the data you download in apps and the cache stored in apps. The other day I deleted like 10 gb worth of cache and the others storage went down like 8gb. So clear your cache😊
I don't even have this Other folder on Galaxy a235G (US version). My Files app shows Internal memory 53gb taken out of 64. When I click at internal memory, then select all (almost 7000 files) the Details of selection shows only 5.6GB occupied not 53! Where the hell the 47.4 GB got hidden? I can see the folders in Internal memory but there is no "Other" folder.
@@SergSpace yeah sometimes old phones don't have these "other" files and don't show cache in internal storage. My father had the same problem. After I manually cleared every cache from settings , his phone was smooth as hell. Try clearing out cache.
@@Doggo_is_sus Galaxy A23 5G was released in 2022. Mine is not even a 1 year old, keep getting System updates. It doesn't slow down, I just can't find the junk stuff which filled up internal memory.
2:40 if you turn off one of these does something happens to your phone? it says that if we turn it off some apps might not work correctly or we couId be forcing off something vital
Well, i bought a brand new phone and I checked "other" file is just below 1gb. That's good, let's see a month later. If it's increases that MUCH, then android OS were truly F##### up.
Ps: My older phone has 18gb on "other" files while maximum storage is 32gb. Pretty much deleted everything (games, whatsapp ect) but 18gb "other" is still there.
How can they easily labelled files as other while it consumed 60% of max storage? ?
I think the phone company was playing s### so they forced us to purchase app to clean it, or even forced us to buy new phone periodically.
Help is it possible to move the other category to a sd card because my sd card is pretty much empty and i don't want to delete my apps the defeats the point
I have 1/2 the apps and I backed up most of my pictures and videos and how 128gb is filled 128gb, 107gb "other". It's crazy. I see a push for cloud storage, problem is, on my account, I'm not allowed to remove my information that I pay for. Google are criminals

I have literally 2-3 gb storage of personal data on my phone when i suddenly noticed my others section was upto more than 14 gb ! I feel like im paying for someone elses data and the systems are storing & using our storage as a common place wherein they can store others data .
Is there a way to change the downloading data to go to my sd card first instead of going to my internal storage

I mean the phone is in a state almost like I've done a factory reset. People loves to hype up this trash brand these days but this is pretty much what owning a Samsung looks like. I've never experienced something this terrible with other Android phones and I've never experienced something this terrible with iPhone...

My storage increased suddenly . What could be the reason ?
The child 🌽 you downloaded is usually many GBs 😂
my "other" storage before the video was 20.08GB
after the video Is 20.13GB
and my storage still says 93% used
I love how this video was so simple for me to follow with 0 struggles, and it ends up not working..
What I dont get is that the phone uses 15 GB of storage when then applications are 3 GB.
Oh, Im here again. Same issue. Didnt know I had watched this video. I suppose there are no incentives for phone and app manufacturers/developers to make things that last, so they just use all the space and give you only an option to buy a new phone. I have used to much time trying to free up space on this phone, and I have moved all the apps that the phone allow to the SD card. I have delted all the apps that I dont use, and some that I do use.
Seriously
Whole video to recommend delete the files apps you don’t use! Why didn’t I think that 😂😂😂😂?
like i use all my apps...and i moved most to the sd memory card...it still says memory full
Factory reset sounds like the only way to me

I've deleted all app cache and put what little I could on the sd card but still using 96% of internal storage. Followed your tutorial but in storage analysis I had a mini breakdown but nothing to tap on. Using Tracfone Galaxy J3 Orbit 16 GB.
Other way to free little bit of storage, is if you go to settings, apps, pick a app, click storage and press clear cache

I watch this video to findeout how to delete other section in internal storage and the title of video is the same as what I look for , and you dont say anything about it !
One thing that annoys me so much is that there isnt just an option in settings to clear all app cache
helped a little my internal went from 1.9gb to at least 2.4gb the pop up of low storage is very annoying
Why I delete some unuseful apps , but store the deleted apps in the other storage ? Please help , thanks .
I accidentally saved an image and or msg
sent to me that I was trying to delete, I hit
the down arrow that was under the photo
at bottom of screen that
has a horizontal bracket under it,
trying to delete the photo and or msg.
The android reply after hitting that arrow was;
'Photo saved in your msg stored media'
How do I open this 'stored media' area,
so I can delete the image and or msg?
In can't go into usage data. Several apps I don't want and they can't be deleted. Like Netflix and Gmail. I did not put them on, the factory did and they can't be deleted. That would help as my storage is small. Any ideas. Thanks
