Little by little, storage has ceased to be a problem for the vast majority of mobile device users. To the different cloud services that we have pre-installed on Android, such as Google Drive, we have to add the different third-party tools that the Google application store offers us, to eliminate all those files that we no longer need. And we not only talk about the usual cache memory cleaning (data from apps that are stored on the mobile so that they do not take long to open) that we do from the mobile settings itself, but about advanced tools that eliminate duplicate or residual files and that They even tell you which apps you use the least so you can uninstall them.
Even despite the large internal storage that mobile devices already have, the user must keep it clean, especially so that its operation is optimal. That is why we have prepared for you a selection of five applications to keep all those unnecessary files that populate your mobile at bay.
How to free up space on your mobile with these applications
Google files
How could it be otherwise, Google itself makes its own application available to users to delete unnecessary files. But not only that. Files from Google also serves as a practical file manager through which we will be able to see all the folders that we have created on our phone. When we open it for the first time, it will ask us for permission to access the storage. Once the permissions have been granted, the first thing we see on the screen corresponds to a card to eliminate junk files. We confirm and release the space.
The following cards that we find correspond to the duplicate files found on your mobile, photos backed up in the cloud, multimedia files received on WhatsApp, Telegram and other messaging applications, a section to find out which apps you use the least and Finally, what are the largest files on your mobile? Click on each of the cards to remove all the space you require.

SD Maid - System Cleaning
An application to clean our mobile in a very fast and simple way. The main screen (in the menu it is considered as 'Quick Access' is composed of the following elements.
- Waste finder
- System cleaner
- App Cleaner (the Pro version of the app is required for this feature, downloaded separately)
- Databases. With this function the databases will be optimized using the SQL command 'VACUUM' to improve the performance of the terminal, eliminating transaction data that is no longer necessary. With this action we do not lose any valuable data.
If we want a global scan of the entire terminal, we must press the green button at the bottom of the screen. We must give storage permission for it to do its work. Once the scan is finished, we will click on 'Run now' and the app will do its job. The app also serves as a file explorer and gives you an overview of your device.
This application is free, does not contain ads and has a weight of 5.18 MB.

Clean Master
We recommend that you only use this application to delete files. It also promises to free up RAM, but it is something that is discouraged since Android manages RAM memory, by itself, much more efficiently than any third-party application. It also has an antivirus option, but from here we advise you that, if you want a security tool on your phone, download one from a recognized firm in the sector.
As soon as we open the application, we are informed of the junk files it has found. We must click on ' Clean now ' to start the sweep. We must grant the necessary permissions (storage) for the scan to begin. Click on 'clean the garbage' and that's it.
The Clean Master application is free, although it contains ads and purchases inside. It has a weight of 18 MB although it may vary depending on the device on which you install it.

Ccleaner
The popular tool to clean junk files from our PC has its own version for Android mobiles. The first thing the application tells you when you open it is if you want to continue with ads or pay for the version without, which costs 3 euros per month or 8 euros for the whole year. Its home interface, once we choose the free option, is very minimalist and simple. We must click on 'Analyze' to start the mobile scan. Once finished, the app returns the results obtained, divided into cache memory, residual files, thumbnails that can be deleted, empty folders, and items pasted on the clipboard. App data can be erased but only if you mark it.
This application is free although it contains ads inside. It has a weight of 21 MB.

Norton Clean
And we finish our review with an application from a well-known antivirus developer, Norton Clean. We have to give permission to the storage, as in the previous applications. Once granted, the cleaner will start to scan the terminal automatically. Once the process is finished, it will return the results, which we can see in detail. To clean we just have to click on the yellow cross icon. Later, we can mark some large files that we no longer need to remove them from the terminal. In addition, the application offers a 'rewards' system to motivate you and clean your mobile more often.
The application is free, without ads and has a weight of 4.6 MB.
