Question

What can I delete, as taking up too much memory

Oct 11, 2018 5:52AM PDT

Hi, I have a Samsung J3(6) and it is rubbish for memory. I am upgrading in January with my contract and can't wait.

It is now at 94% memory and I only have two apps on my phone.

I have deleted text messages, done the cache thing.

I want to delete stuff to give me some storage space, but haven't got a clue what some of the things are on my phone at are using up space and are updating all the time. Can anybody help please.

For each app I can google what it is and decide if I can remove or disable it. That's how I tackled this on my first android phone.

Stop Background Apps

You can stop background applications which runs by hidden and it takes much storage from your handset. You can optimize the application which you are not using it regularly. Go for a magisk root to remove manufacturer defined apps from the device.
