When your phone storage is full, the best things to delete are:
- Unused or rarely used apps. These can take up a lot of space, and deleting or offloading them frees storage quickly.
- Cached data and junk files from apps and browsers, which accumulate over time.
- Old downloads such as PDFs, documents, and media files that you no longer need.
- Photos and videos, especially large or duplicate ones, or move them to cloud storage or external storage.
- Media files (photos, videos, GIFs) sent and received in messaging apps such as WhatsApp and text messages, since these can silently consume significant space.
- Old text messages and voicemail attachments that are no longer important.
Additionally, checking your phone's storage usage in settings helps identify the largest space consumers so you can target them for deletion or cleanup. Using file manager apps can also assist in scanning and removing duplicates and junk.
