Android phone storage is full and you can't install apps
Back up photos to Google Photos and delete them from your phone, clear app caches, and uninstall apps you don't use. This frees up several gigabytes in minutes.
Android phones have limited built-in storage. When it fills up with apps, photos, videos, and cached data, the system can't function. Apps won't install, the phone slows down, and you can't take photos. The fastest way to free space is backing up photos to Google Photos, deleting them, and clearing app caches.
- ✓Have Google Photos installed (it comes with most Android phones)
- ✓Know your Google account password
- ✓Have a WiFi connection to backup photos quickly
