A built-in function called Storage Booster might assist free up device memory if the storage on your Samsung phone is getting low. Let's examine its usage. Additionally, we'll demonstrate how to manually empty storage on your Samsung phone for a more thorough cleanup.
Delete storage space Using Samsung Storage Booster Automatically
Storage Booster is very simple to use. Take these actions:
Go to Battery and device care in Settings.
Select Storage booster from the three-dot menu, then hit FREE UP. Three things will be accomplished by doing this: deleting duplicate pictures (if any), zipping up infrequently used apps, and deleting saved APK files.
Additionally, you can go inside a category and choose specific items to delete or zip, or you can deselect the category you don't want to be affected by.

To free up space on your internal storage, you may also use Storage Booster to transfer some of your apps to the SD card. Select the apps you wish to move by tapping Move apps to SD card. You might get a disclaimer after doing so; hit Confirm to proceed.
It should be noted that Samsung phones without SD card slots lack this feature. Even if your phone has one, transferring apps to an SD card may occasionally result in data loss. Create a backup of everything vital that is currently saved in the programme you're migrating before continuing.
Check the game to see whether you can connect your Google or Facebook account to save your progress if you're relocating it. There are entirely too many accounts of people having to restart their whole game after losing all of their progress.
Finally, you may schedule the deletion of cache files, empty folders, and cached ad data in your phone using Storage Booster. Activate Auto erase unwanted data and select Daily at midnight, Weekly, Every 15 days, or Monthly from the same menu to specify how often you want this done. Additionally, you can be informed when the deletion occurs.
Some Samsung users have complained that Storage Booster occasionally deletes app data that wasn't meant to be erased. This is why it's better to disable the auto-delete feature if it starts happening to you.
How to Manually Clean a Samsung Phone's Storage
After using Storage Booster, you should think about performing a manual clean if you still don't have enough internal storage. Go to Settings > Battery and device maintenance > Storage on your Samsung phone to manually clear the storage.

You can determine exactly how much storage each sort of file and software is using here. Contrary to popular belief, the system only consumes a modest portion of the entire internal memory.
Getting rid of the apps you no longer use can quickly recover storage since they typically take up the most space. But before you do, keep in mind to backup any crucial information they could have included on your phone.
Delete as much as you can from your old songs, films, papers, voice notes, and other media as you go through them. Check out how to free up storage space on your Android device for a more detailed instruction on how to do this.
Increase the Storage on Your Samsung Phone
Never entirely fill the internal storage of your phone. This prevents the system from having enough "breathing room" to carry out its regular functions without interruption, which can cause a number of issues. For instance, your phone could start to lag, go largely unresponsive, or restart on its own without your specific instruction.
Therefore, it's a good habit to perform a thorough cleaning of your storage once every three to six months so you can remove any collected useless programmes and delete any outdated information.
