Manage memory usage
You typically don’t need to worr y about managing apps beyond
installing, opening, a nd using them. But there may be times
when you want to know more about wh at’s happening behi nd the
scenes in order to better mana ge your storage.
IMPORTANT: Android manages and carefully guards the
portion of internal storag e where the system, apps, and
most data for those apps are stored , because this area may
contain your private informati on. It’s not possible to view
this portion of internal stor age when you connect your de -
vice to a computer with a USB cable . The other portion of
internal storage, where music , downloaded les, and so on
are stored, remains visible for your convenience.
You’re able to optimize your memory usa ge by:
• Uninstalling apps you don’t use.
• Deleting downloaded les or l es you created and copying
them over to a computer via USB.
• Removing content from Google P lay that’s saved for offl ine use
and streaming it via a Wi-Fi or mobile network.
