How to free up space in "other" storage on Samsung
Pierr10 Posted messages 13768 Registration date Status Modérateur Last intervention -
Hello,
My storage has been full for months, I have a Samsung A21s.
In "other" storage, I have 18.28 GB out of 32 GB, I was looking a bit on the forum and several people are experiencing this problem.
Can someone help me clear some space if possible? I just bought an SD card to compensate.
Thank you for your feedback

Hello,
It seems that Other storage corresponds to application caches.
Check this page: https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/gamme-galaxy-s21/qu-est-ce-stockage-quot-autre-quot/td-p/5439955
There should be a setting to modify in Applications. Tap the circled I next to Applications.
If that doesn't help, try clearing the app caches.
There's one app that takes up a lot of space, it's WhatsApp. So, check that.
To get a better idea of storage, use the DiskUsage app.

What is well conceived is clearly expressed,
And the words to say it come easily.

Hello,
If you have an SD card, you just need to move files such as images, videos, and music to it in order to free up internal storage space. To do this, insert the SD card into your phone, go to your file application, select the corresponding files, click on move, and finally select the SD card.
