How do I delete files from my phone storage?

Answered by James Kissner

To delete files from your phone storage, you can follow these steps:

1. Open your app drawer by tapping on the icon that looks like a grid of dots or squares on your home screen.

2. Look for an app called “My Files” or “Downloads” and tap on it. If you can’t find it there, you can also check your app drawer for any file manager app that might be pre-installed on your device.

3. Once you open the file manager app, you should see a list of folders and files. Look for the folder named “Downloads” or “My Files” and tap on it to open it.

4. In this folder, you will find all the files that you have downloaded or saved on your device. You can scroll through the list to find the files you want to delete.

5. To delete a file, tap and hold on it until a menu pops up. This menu may vary depending on the file manager app you are using, but it should have options like “Delete,” “Remove,” or a trash can icon.

6. Tap on the option that allows you to delete the file. It may ask for confirmation, so make sure to confirm the deletion if prompted.

7. Repeat the process for any other files you want to delete. You can select multiple files at once by tapping and holding on one file, then tapping on the other files you want to select.

8. After deleting the files, you can close the file manager app or continue browsing through your folders to delete more files if needed.

Remember to be cautious when deleting files, as some files might be important or necessary for certain apps or functions on your device. If you’re unsure about deleting a file, it’s always a good idea to double-check its importance before proceeding.

By regularly deleting unnecessary files, you can free up storage space on your phone and improve its performance. So go ahead and start decluttering your phone storage!
