Google Files app helps Android users reclaim device storage

Android users can manage and reclaim device storage using the Files by Google application. This free file manager, which is pre-installed on many devices, includes a “Clean” feature designed to identify unnecessary files such as temporary app data, large videos, old screenshots, and duplicate files.

Unlike automatic cleaners, the tool allows users to review specific files before deletion to prevent the loss of important documents or photos. Beyond using dedicated apps, users can also free up space by managing cache and data accumulated by social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, which often store significant amounts of temporary data to facilitate faster content loading.
