Low on space on Phone (Android)

[bchip]

Just wanted to share my experience, maybe helps someone else out there.

My phone keeps popping up with no space or "low on space" even though I try and move all my photos from the internal card to the SD Card
If I looked at the Google files app or the original app they all just kept saying 12 GB is movies/photos/apps and 20 GB is system files.

I eventually stumbled on a thread where someone suggested to use "Disk Usage" app

DiskUsage - Apps on Google Play

Find out how storage card space is used

play.google.com

App was really useful it showed me, what was happening was that some backup app was backing up all the install files and saving it to the system directory - in my case
The app allowed me to delete these, which opened up around 10GB.

I still use Files app made by Google, also discovered it back in my Cheapie android phone days of 8GB of space,
even gives you reminders and deletes duplicates and deletes temp files (especially Play Store and Firefox)

best app out there, no purchases and extras necessary, free and works very well.
