How to know which apps you don't use to delete and make space
Table of contents:
Everyone knows that one of the best things we can do with a mobile phone is test applications like crazy. Especially if they are free. Applications for all audiences and utilities. Games, recipes, navigation maps, languages, social networks, photography, messaging services, weather… In the end, our phone ends up being a disaster drawer of applications that we use a lot, sometimes or almost never. Within all this set of applications are those that we downloaded once, used once, and then forgot to uninstall.What can we do when we treasure hundreds of applications, need to vent our phone but don't know where to start?
Get rid of apps you don't use with Files by Google
Fortunately, to manage the use of applications we have, of course, other applications that we can find in the Google Play Store. One of the simplest that we have found for this purpose is developed by Google itself and its name is Files. In addition to managing the applications that we have installed on our mobile, with Files we are going to have a file explorer and a file cleaner, all in one. A practical Swiss Army knife for our phone that we can download for free. Its installation file is 9.6 MB in size.
Once downloaded and installed, we look at the bottom of it. We have three main sections: clean, explore and share In the first we are going to get rid of all the junk files that accumulate on our mobile; in the second we have a practical file explorer and the section of applications that interests us; Finally, we have a practical section from which we can share files with other Android terminals that have downloaded this same application.
Let's go to the 'Explore' section. Within the 'Categories' we are going to go to 'Applications'. Within this screen all the applications that we have installed will appear in alphabetical order and with useful information about the same, like the time we haven't used it. If we click on the little arrow that accompanies each application we have several possible actions to do.For example, we can clean the cache of the application, share the installation file through different messaging or mail services or uninstall it.
Order the applications to your liking
In the menu that we have at the top of the 'Applications' section we can tell you to order the elements in another way than in alphabetical order. We can tell it to order them alphabetically, but in reverse, recently installed or oldest first and by size, choosing the heaviest or lightest first. In this way you will have total control of all the utilities that you have installed on your mobile phone, leaving or discarding all the ones you want.
At the top of the application we can also change the view of installed applications, being able to toggle between a list and a mosaic of thumbnails.On this same screen, in the tab next to it, we have the list of application installation files that we have downloaded to our mobile. As you can see, Google Files is the app you need if you want to manage the apps you don't use and thus save precious space on your phone.
