Probably everyone who has had a low-end smartphone has happened to us that after a long time of use, this phone and let us not install anything because there was not enough storage . It is true that this error may occur with respect, that is, you do not really have enough room, but when we dedicate ourselves to delete data to make room and leave space to install sometimes this error persists.

And as we know that this problem can be extremely annoying, today we will teach you how to fix this error quickly and easily.

Download directly

One of the options that we must first try (to rule biggest mistakes) is to download the application directly, that is, looking at Google's application in question from your browser.

You only have to do a simple search will be structured as follows: [Application Name] apk download .Thus we find some sites that download applications. Once this is done only we have to install, enabling installation previously unknown sources from the configuration.

This should be avoided since we can find some kind of malware, but in a situation of emergency can be useful to us.

Clear the cache and temporary files

Our applications are a type called cache files used to load more quickly and smoothly. These files are stored on your device and the higher the greater use of this application is the space that these files may occupy.

To release this space we have several options:

  • Enter the applications you want to clear the cache from the settings menu within the Applications section. Once there we go into the application you want and give the button to clear the cache.
  • Another option is to use applications like CCleaner or AVG Cache Cleaner . These applications will make the process much faster.

Delete application data

Sometimes this can help a lot, but the fact is that it has some consequences that may persuade some.

The process is made ​​from the same site as the cache is cleared applications, only instead of deleting the cache will delete the data. This will give us until additional 50Mb in some cases , even if you delete data, for example, the Facebook app we will have to login .

Clear images and other multimedia files

Another of the things that we can affect the storage of our device is the accumulation of media garbage.

With the existence of groups or Telegram WhatsApp we can sometimes store hundreds of megabytes of photos that only downloaded once to see them. To say nothing of the amount of waste they send us video. Delete these files can save a lot of space .

These files are usually stored in a folder called own or WhatsApp WhatsApp Video Images to which we can access from the gallery or from the file browser. Deleting the data contained in this we can save a lot of space and solve this problem.

The root option: App2SD

If your phone has little internal storage is possible with only a few our memory is full and can not install more applications.

To address this root users have the option to download Super App2SD , a utility that allows us to move our applications to the SD card , thus saving space in the internal storage.

A problem that is not new

These problems are one of the most common in the world of computing. Although it is becoming easier to have more memory in our electronic devices that increasingly occupy more space applications (also due to the improvement of them, all told) often make storage that have us fall short. Luckily there are many methods that will allow us to maximize the space and use it so that we can get by.

Although today almost all high-end phones have up to 64GB of storage terminals many lower ranges only have 8GB, which means that users of these phones should be careful when using this storage space .We hope, therefore, that the advice given above serve for these users to make normal use of their phones, whether they have more or less space.

What other methods You use you to save space on your phone?
