Same. I hate the boatware on these devices! I'm getting my s22 plus today and nervous about not having the SD for extra storage. Its bullshit that I have cleared all videos and photos and cache from my phone and there is still crap I can't find taking up 80 GB of my 125 GB. UNACCEPTABLE
Same here! It's a freakin scam duuuude. I upgraded/bought a new phone for more memory and more than half of my memory is STILL being used up by this ridiculous "other" storage. This is the only reason why I hate androids uuuugggh
I found the perfect solution. 1.Turn off your phone 2. Wait for 30secs 3. Press and hold the volume up key and the bixby key and then also press and hold the power key. (So now you're pressing three keys simultaneously) 4. When the screen shows the Android logo, let go. 5. You'll see a menu, press the volume down key to go to cache partition and then press the power key and then select yes and power key. 6. Then go down to app repair and press the power key. You're phone will restart and optimize the apps. Now check your storage. Summary: 1. Clear cache partition 2. Repair apps You're welcome
what if "other files" are located somewhere else , which i still can't find even if the whole internal storage files are selected for their storage capacity and shows a number which is not relevant to the big number.
@@turkerharungungor1586 Same thing happened to my Tab A7 after OneUI 3.1 Update... i check all my files, and Android/data/ it says theres no files to show
Finally found a solution to this problem (Samsung Galaxy tab) It worked for me so it might work for you too. First you have to open the reboot menu. To do that: Step 1 - turn off your device Step 2 - hold the power button and volume up button together till the Samsung logo comes on screen. Then after the reboot menu is open, choose "wipe cache partition" (Use the volume buttons and power button to choose the options) and then "repair apps". Don't worry this doesn't delete any of your files. Let me know if this works!
@enrico - I have tried that but in my Data file it shows nothing. My phone is practically 90% full, I even went add sent a lot of apps to my SD included photos and videos....hasn't helped. Please let me know what I might be missing. I have taken a snapshot of my Android/Data file if you wanna see.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT. I'VE CHECKED MY PHONE MEMORY AFTER 9 MONTHS FROM THIS VIDEO AND STILL CAN'T SEE ANY SPACE OCCUPIED FROM OTHERS. SO HAPPY 😊 IT SEEMS THAT FOLDER DOESN'T COME BACK. AND YOU'LL HAVE YOUR ACTUAL SPACE FOR YOUR PICS AND FILES!!!!!!
Thank you!🤧🤧💜💜 I have found my "recycle bin" instead of "trash".. I cleared the bin and 8gb storage has reduced.. but still there is the "other" thing.. can you please say what to do with that?
For those who don't have the " Trash " option here's an another way to do it , But it will take a LONG time ;) 1/ open " My files " 2/ Click on " Internal storage " 3/ Click on the 3 dots above and then click on " Settings " 4/ Click on " Show hidden system files " After you do all of that you gotta go to every single folder for each app/program and delete the unwanted files, For example if you open "PicsArt" you will find 3-6 folders and each folder will have other folders on it so you gonna delete all the unwanted files from these folders + Just delete the unnecessary files/folders do not delete the important files like " Pictures + Videos "
But when I went to the data folder in Android, there was absolutely nothing in it, plus I've already recycled my trash and it still says there are others taking up to 10 gb
but i already did all the things you said even before i reached your video, my 'others' storage still take 70GB over 128 GB. does this means it comes from apps then?
I can see how it helps but mine says otherwise in the sense that I can't find anything like that I mean like I found the android part and I go to data and there is nothing there
Oh alright I found it now actually, what basically you need to do is enable show hidden files, then come to Android>com.sec.android.gallery3d (it is where I found the trash folder hidden)
So, I'm getting my s22 plus today. Moving from the s20 Ultra. I have already copied all photos and videos to my One Drive via connection from phone to computer. I deleted all of those once I was certain all files copied with no errors. That freed up a good bit of space but STILL had alot of "Other" files taking up space. Before seeing this video, I went through everything manually and deleted trash files along with cache on each and every app. I have also deleted the trash bin. My phone is STILL using up 80 GB out of 125 GB. Urrrggg. And 50 GB is "Other" but yet I can NOT find those files. I even went to settings and told it to show me hidden files. NOTHING!!! I am trying to get this straightened out before I do my phone transfer. I'm nervous moving to a phone with no SD and I don't want to take Un needed files over to the new phone so that they can eat up my storage. Urrrgg. If I pick and choose what to transfer vs doing a complete transfer, will that help? I'm concerned that alot of this is "BLOATWARE" and if so, shame on the cell services and Samsung for installing all that crap. Urrrgg....what do you guys suggest?
Went to all the files you showed and there was barely anything for me to delete. Yet I still have so much space used up in the "other" storage that I STILL CANT FIND to delete and clear! I upgraded for a phone with MORE memory than the previous but I basically still have the SAME MEMORY as the previous because of this stupid "other" storage stealing all of my memory and not giving me the option to view and delete them! It's a brand new phone with barely ANY apps AT ALL yet somehow more than half of my memory is being used up by this ridiculous "other" storage! The "other" storage is such a total scam for android buyers making then think they're getting more memory with the new upgrade when in fact they arent!
In my case was the whatsapp files... look into the folders of the sent videos (i freed an extra 17GB) inside the main one of whatsapp itself, so even when you remove the automatic downloads a lot of files will still be stored somehow on the device itself! check your definitions and adjust as i just did if you have the same issue. (if you use messaging apps on the same way, the problem/solution could be exactly the same) i just freed in total 61GB of data of my S20 phone. I tried to simply move them to my SD card as i have 256GB instead of deleting, but i failed to do so. Im sure if you try harder than i did, you can do it,
Thanks! I'm getting annoyed of why there's a lot of gigabytes in the other section. But I found this guide, Thank you so much Sir! Very informative and helpful.
Hi guys, I've been having the same issue trying to free up some space on my Galaxy S20 ultra. The solation I found worked for me and I'm not sure it may work for you but here's what I did. I literally connected my S20 ultra to my PC and deleted all the files on s20 internal memory. Originally before doing this, the phone memory was at its full capacity of 128gigb. After connecting my phone to my computer, I was able to clean up the files bring it down to 108 gigabytes which caused me to have more available space. I also used an app called “AppMgr III” and have all my apps from internal moved to SD card. so around 76 apps were moved to my sd card. Hope it works for you guy and if it does, let me know.
Hi sir can you pls make a video like but with the problem on an Samsung note 8 please because when i tried this method it did work i could not find the file.
I simply went into my gallery settings and disabled the trash saver from there , it was set to keep the deleted files for 30 days, once I turned that off, it freed up space instantly.
Thank you so so so so much bro Mine is Samsung j6 it has recyclebin as trash so I got some time but bro it worked so well from 32 GB to 15 GB tysm broo
I followed you and went into My Files then DCIM and I found items that I could put in the trash. Then I emptied the trash. It worked well to help me clear up space overall. Thank you!
I went into there like you said and it's empty. My storage is 99% full. Strange because I have my photos and videos that I record directed to my sd card wich I took out so I don't delete from there by accident.
All the files that are being used are other files, and I look in settings to see what's taking up all the files, and there is nothing I can delete, and I have searched for a long time trying to find out how to delete these files nothing helps, and I have tried factory resetting but the same old files show up.
SORRY GUYS I DONT HAVE ANY OTHER WAYS TO HELP YOU!! so if this doesnt work well i cant help!
👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Why my phone dont have this folder!! 😭😭
So unrelated.....what's that song in the background
The "others" is being a bother, it's taking up so much space and I cant do anything!! When I tapped on data there was nothing
In internal storage, there's an essential and an all filter option. Click all and android will pop up
Yeah , it works very well by emptying your recycle bin . Mine goes from 128 gb to 68.08 gb . Thankkyouuuu

OH MY GOD THANK U SO MUCH I can't believe it actually works
For those who don't have the " Trash " option here's an another way to do it , But it will take a LONG time ;)
1/ open " My files "
2/ Click on " Internal storage "
3/ Click on the 3 dots above and then click on " Settings "
4/ Click on " Show hidden system files "
After you do all of that you gotta go to every single folder for each app/program and delete the unwanted files, For example if you open "PicsArt" you will find 3-6 folders and each folder will have other folders on it so you gonna delete all the unwanted files from these folders
+ Just delete the unnecessary files/folders do not delete the important files like " Pictures + Videos "
