Delete Unused Apps

Your Galaxy S20 likely has apps you no longer use taking up valuable space. Start by removing these unnecessary applications.

1. 1.Go to your Home screen and find the app you want to remove
2. 2.Tap and hold the app icon
3. 3.Select "Uninstall" from the menu
4. 4.Confirm the deletion when prompted

Repeat this process for every app you don't need. For pre-installed apps that can't be removed, you can often disable them instead.

Clear App Cache and Data

Apps accumulate temporary files called cache that can take up significant space over time. Clearing cache is safe and won't affect your personal data.

1. 1.Open Settings > Apps
2. 2.Select the app you want to clean
3. 3.Tap "Storage"
4. 4.Choose "Clear cache"

For apps using excessive space, you can also tap "Clear data" - but note this will reset the app and you'll need to log in again.

Manage Photos and Videos

Photos and videos are often the biggest storage hogs. A single photo can take 2-5 MB, while videos consume much more.

• Use cloud services like Google Photos or Samsung Cloud to back up your media
• Delete photos and videos you no longer need after backing them up
• Use the "My Files" app to sort files by size and delete the largest ones first
• Enable automatic backup so you can safely delete local copies

Use Device Care Feature

Your Galaxy S20 has a built-in storage management tool called Device Care that makes cleanup easy.

1. 1.Open Settings
2. 2.Scroll down and tap "Device Care"
3. 3.Select "Storage"
4. 4.Review the storage breakdown and tap "Clean now"

This feature automatically identifies junk files, cached data, and unused apps you can safely remove.

Move Apps to SD Card

If your Galaxy S20 has an SD card slot, you can move compatible apps to external storage.

1. 1.Go to Settings > Apps
2. 2.Select the app you want to move
3. 3.Tap "Storage"
4. 4.If available, tap "Change" and select "SD card"

Not all apps support this feature, but it can free up significant internal storage for those that do.

Factory Reset (Last Resort)

If you've tried everything and still need more space, a factory reset will wipe your device completely. Make sure to back up all important data first.

Click to expand

1. 1.Go to Settings > General Management
2. 2.Tap "Reset"
3. 3.Select "Factory data reset"
4. 4.Tap "Reset" to confirm

The process may take several minutes. After completion, you'll set up your device as new.

By regularly using these methods, you can keep your Samsung Galaxy S20 5G running smoothly with plenty of storage for what matters most.
