Phonewell
See what is filling your phone and clear it safely
Free up storage, step by step on Samsung, Pixel and Xiaomi phones.
Why it helps
One screen shows duplicate files, large videos and apps you never open, so you can clear space without guessing.
What you'll notice
You get several gigabytes back, and nothing you care about is touched without you choosing it.

How to undo it
Deleted files usually wait in a recycle bin or trash for up to 30 days before they are gone.
Labels can differ. Menu names and their order vary between models and can change with a system update. If a step doesn't match your phone, search Settings for the feature name or one of its other names: storage full, clean up, delete duplicates, large files, clear space.
