Answers to your main 4 questions about cleaning android

A utility for cleansing files has already been preset on the smartphone, but there is no sense from it. Does it make sense to install third-party applications, Or all of them only partially remove the garbage?

Of course, completely clean the clogged phone program will not be able to completely, but the main elements: duplicate files, cache, it removes without problems. So the need for such applications exists.

Just do not forget that you should not install for one phone more than two cleaning applications. If the program is good, then it will cope with everything without any problems, and a large number of Tools will only take an additional precious space on the device.

Modern smartphones and tablets are increasingly equipped with a built-in storage device at 16, 32 or even 64 GB. However, found budget models With a more modest reserve for data storage - 8 GB and less. The place is rapidly ends and the question arises - how to clean internal memory 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 - this action will not affect personal information And will free a couple of hundred 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 folders social networks - The data can be boldly to wash.

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 Korean giant working under android management 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 do backups Your device data. To make a phone or tablet backup, it is enough to choose a suitable program and.

Other Memory Clearing Methods

If the phone received ROOT rights, You can remove unnecessary applications installed at the stage of production, 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, among which Mozilla Firefox., Google Chrome. And Opera.

Depending on the class of the device and its year of release, the volume of internal (i.e. built-in) memory is different. In some devices, it is 4 GB, in other 16 GB or more. Internal memory is never a lot. First, for the operating room android systems Internal drive is a priority to install applications. Secondly, not any application will allow themselves to install themselves on the memory card (external storage). Thirdly, manufacturers of gadgets love to score a built-in drive with all sorts of pre-installed games and other software that is called Bloatware. Therefore, the built-in storage device with Android has the property to end faster than the user expects. In this case, an error is issued "not enough space in the device memory" or "phone memory is filled", and applications are not installed. In this article, consider everything possible methods Get rid of this error and solve the problem with a shortage free space in Android phone or tablet.

Here you have a living example - Samsung Galaxy J3 2016. After the purchase, it was brought home, connected to Wi-Fi and allowed to update all the built-in applications, no new application was installed. What we have? - After 2 hours, all applications have been updated and a message appeared immediately: Not enough free space - Available 0.99 GB.

As I said above, this happened for two reasons:

budget and memory model on the domestic drive of only 4 GB;
despite the modest amount of integrated memory, Samsung preinstalled the uyma applications, most of which are not at all needed by the owner.

How to check how much internal memory free

There are several ways to check how much free space is available on the device at the moment.

Through dispatcher

IN sAMSUNG smartphones Click the "Recent Applications" button (or hold the Home button about 1 second at very old devices) and then click on the memory icon.

Clearing memory using utilities

Such utilities, as a rule, do not give a tangible effect. But some reflect advertising and in themselves occupy a place in memory. Therefore, if you decide to take advantage of this utility, remove it after cleaning. You can always install it re-and clean the internal memory again.

Transfer some applications to the memory card

It is just done: you need to go to the appointment and click On the SD memory card:

It often helps to free some disk space and remove the message. Not enough place in the device's memoryBut there are two "but" here:

WIPE.

If you use your device already for a long time And actively install and delete applications and games, then surely the memory contains many remote control residues. These files and folders not only occupy a lot of space, but they can slow down the operation of the device, bringing "glitches".

These actions should help you get rid of the message "Not enough place in the device's memory" on Android.

Sooner or later, before the owner of the Android device, the task occurs - clean the phone's memory. The space of internal memory, no matter how much it is, unfortunately, still has the limit. And in one "beautiful day", or "Iks Hour", in the event of overflow, notifies the user to the alarming news: "I can not install a new application!".

Let your android always be only useful applications And the data!

This article is devoted to the system system android memory, problems that may arise due to its lack and how to solve them. I myself have faced the fact that my phone is on android database He began to regularly issue messages about a shortage of memory when trying to establish a particular application. What was very strange for me despite the fact that on the description on the market there should have been about 16GB, and I also increased this volume using an additional memory card. However, the problem was, and had to be thoroughly tinked before I found the right solution that did not require the receipt of root access or full recovery phone to the factory state.

But before I describe the decision, I would like to tell about the types of memory on Android.

Android - Memory Types

It should be understood that your phone is such a computer in miniature. Therefore, memory in it is different:

RAM (RAM): The temporary space that uses programs when they work. It happens that something does not work precisely because of the lack of RAM at the moment, but such a problem is exactly solved by rebooting your phone. Or there is a simpler way - hold the HOME key, and from the menu that appears, select "Task Manager". On the Active tab, you can close active applications, and on the "RAM" tab - to clean my memory in general. There are also programs that are specially engaged in having to clean up your RAM, but I do not see a lot of need for a lot of need - usually "RAM" is enough;
Built-in memory: Volume written in the characteristics of your phone. For example, I have 16GB. However, this memory is not one, but is divided into sections. In particular, about one and a half gigabytes takes system sectionwhere the operating system is located. The user has no access to this part.
USB drive: The largest part of the built-in memory, in my case - about 11.5GB. Used for these majority programs, videos, photos, music and many other things;
Additional SD card: Often, if you lack memory on a USB drive, you can insert an additional SD card and use it for similar purposes;
Application memory: But this is the most interesting section, technically located in the built-in memory and limited even in modern phones volume in 2GB. The peculiarity of this section is that applications are set exclusively to this section (although it is possible to transfer the case from them to an SD card later). However, it is used not only for applications and precisely because of this, often users and face the lack of system memory on Android.

Note: In some phone models, applications memory and the USB drive are combined into a single whole, and this slightly facilitates the situation.

In the settings in the applications Manager, some of them have a choice - transfer the application to the SD card and back. Unfortunately, even those applications that allow themselves to carry, do it not completely. To understand, I will give decoding the summary of the application volume:

application: basic program files stored in application memory;
Application in memory: basic program files stored on the SD card;
Data: Programs stored in application memory;
SD memory card: Programs stored on the SD card;
Cache (slightly lower): Program temporary data stored on a USB drive.

The "Clear Data" command deletes items 3 and 4, but this may cause you to lose all program settings. The deletion of cache theoretically should not spoil anything, but after a while it will recover back. The transfer button on the data card is from paragraph 1 in 3 and from 2 to 4 or back, but only a part of this data transfers. Almost all applications when you press the "Transfer to Memory of Device", you will completely exempt the SD card, but some large data (for example, a translator dictionaries) can remain there.

Cash cleaning removes paragraph 5.

By the way, note that the application can store data not only in the data specified here. For example, Yandex.Maps offer a choice of folders to save data, and the offline cards are downloaded in this way are not taken into account in the counting of the volume, which is specified in the application properties.

Android - not enough memory

If your Android phone is not enough memory, but different unpleasant phenomena may occur. You will not be able to photograph, you cannot install or update applications, some of the system functions can be cut off. On the Internet there are many tips on how to free the place, but mainly copied from one site to another most basic tips, and they can only partially help. In addition, many ways require root rights to your phone, but we will try to do without it.

To start, do this. Set the Disk Usage program from Play.Market. Open it and explore the sections. It is necessary to understand exactly where there is not enough memory. Just tips, let's say that the "USB drive" will not help, if you do not have enough memory in the internal memory (if they are not combined in your phone model). So, depending on what ends, the following recommendations can help or help.

If you are so lucky, and end the place on the external SD card, then this is the easiest case. You will need a larger map to which the old data should be rewritten.
A frequent problem with the place in the built-in memory (applications are not installed). Partially will help the standard advice on the transfer of some applications on the SD card, but it does not save the situation completely. The fact is that if you explore the application mentioned above this partition, then you will see a part with the name "System Data". And the volume of this piece is growing over time and can be overwhelmed - in my case, it exceeded a gigabyte. In it, as it turns out, "Damps" is stored - descriptions of the state of the phone in those moments when it hangs. Fortunately, it is possible to clean these dumps. To do this, dial on the phone * # 9900 #, after which in the menu you can select "Delete DumpState / Logcat".
If you are clogged with an internal SD section, then again you can help the Standard Application Cache Removal Council (hands or through special utilities). However, it should be studied using Disk Usage in more detail. There are still some "garbage directories", which can be safely removed, but they are constantly increasing in size. Not that you needed to constantly follow - I think you can simply escort them when the place ends. For example, after a year of the phone's work, several gigabytes were hampered. So, what about the directory? First, DCIM / thumbnails. If your photos can still be stored in the DCIM folder, then in DCIM / thumbnails there are mini versions of these images, and over time they only accumulate. It is not scary to delete them, since the necessary system quickly re-sends itself. Yes, you can delete through the same disk program Usage or through any other file manager. And secondly, a folder called LOG (with files type logcat_cp_boot_radio) can very much. It can also be deleted, just do not forget to create an empty folder with this name.

Like these ones simple advice Can help seriously clean the memory of your phone and solve the problem with the fact that programs are not installed. If you know any unnecessary volumetric folders on your phone's memory, write, and I will add this information to the article.
