I want to free up some space on my phone.
I have tried the wizard on my phone but that has not freed up enough for the latest update.
I was thinking about deleting some of my emails from Google ?
My email is imap so not sure if that would help ?
Any help appreciated.
My phone is a Huawei P9 lite

Cleared the cache?

Photos, music, videos hog the most space, look at these first

Settings>storage>cache

Clear the cache is usually the most effective.

An app like diskusage can help you find the biggest offenders for file size

And if you have the microsoft suite, say goodbye to space. ~230mb for each app (likes of powerpoint and onenote which EVERYONE needs.. right?)

 

It's killing Samsung J5s used in the business sector that all of a sudden want to open office365 docs left and right. All of a sudden the 8/16G is mostly core apps and 1-2G free usable.

 

I've noticed Android and its must-have services have been a bit of a killer to anything with specs about the age of devices too old to run more than KitKat now. The 3 high space/memory services google now 'needs' to make things faster - just Like FB and its offline caching instead of being a web front end chewing up 300-600Mb

 

Woe on anyone that doesn't do a handset change every 2 years :/

Disk Usage app. You can clear all the caches at once from the settings -> disk space thingy, they can be huge. Delete the big apps like MS, Facebook, and delete movies / etc.
