If you are one of those who makes continuous use of your phone, you have had problems with space on more than one occasion. All applications take away part of your mobile storage. In addition, we have hundreds of photos, videos, music, WhatsApp audios and many other things that take up too much space on our device. And cleaning this accumulation of "garbage" by hand can be an epic. We are talking about spending a long time looking for everything that is left over on our mobile and selecting and eliminating, which is tedious. And to top it all, maybe due to a mistake we end up deleting some file or image that we wanted to keep by mistake.
Therefore, today we propose a series of five apps for Android that do the work for us. These applications will help us scratch some space each time our storage fills up.
CCleaner
We start this list of applications with one of the best we can find. We talk about CCleaner. This program originally created for computers comes as an app for our Android phones. Its main function is simple: analyze our phone completely and clean all the residual files that it may have. CCleaner allows us to choose what we want to delete, both for sets of files and for specific files, thus avoiding deleting a file by mistake.
Although the app is free, it has payment functions as interesting as a configurable cleaning programmer. This will allow us not to worry about freeing up space definitively, since CCleaner will have its own cleaning routine.
In addition to the function to free up space, the application includes other functions, such as a very practical uninstaller or complete information about the mobile and its status. As we have mentioned before, CCleaner is totally free on Google Play, but its improvement, which is inside the application, can be purchased for 2.50 euros.
Clean Master
Our second proposal is called Clean Master. As its name indicates, this app is dedicated to freeing up space on our mobile almost instantly. What is the difference in this aspect of CCleaner? The answer is very simple. Clean Master has an intensive cleaning mode, which searches for residual files from the system. This function, although it carries a certain risk, is perfect for all those who seek to free up space on their mobile in any way.
Clean Master also has a wide repertoire of functions: from dubious phone optimizers or CPU coolers to creating private galleries, cleaning notifications or safe browsing. A fairly complete and functional range of options for our terminals.
It is possible to find two different versions of Clean Master in the Play Store, the full version, with all the functionalities and the Lite version, specially designed for mobiles with performance problems.
Norton Clean
Norton Clean comes from the famous antivirus company. This is the perfect cleaning app for all those who want to clean quickly and without complications. The application beats the previous ones in simplicity, but loses in functions. Its use is as simple as opening it and waiting for it to scan your mobile. Once this is done, you just have to click on the fan icon and everything will be ready. If we wanted to add or remove elements to delete, by entering the option 'See junk files' we could do it easily.
The only feature that Norton Clean includes, other than the free space feature, is a simple application manager. As with CCleaner, it will allow us to quickly uninstall any application from our terminal.
Norton Clean is part of a series of Norton branded mobile applications. It can be found in the Google store completely free of charge.
Cache Cleaner Super
If the Norton application had not seemed simple enough, we still have an ace up our sleeve. We are talking about Cache Cleaner Super. This wonderful space-freeing tool works in the simplest way possible. Upon opening, it will begin to scan your phone for residual files at breakneck speed. As soon as it is finished, the only thing left to do is press the trash icon to instantly delete all junk files from our terminal. It's that easy.
And it is that Cache Cleaner Super does not have any other extra function, as in the previous applications. Its operation is based solely and exclusively on freeing space from the memory of our devices.
We can find this wonderful and simple tool on Google Play for free, without in-app purchases or pro versions.
SD Maid
We have left one of the options most loved by the user community for last. We mean SD Maid. This application is, along with CCleaner, one of the most complete for Android. On its main screen we will see a quick scan mode, which will ask us to indicate the routes of both the internal memory and the SD card (if we have one inserted in our device). After this, it will begin to analyze our mobile and will give us a solution to all the residual files it finds, in addition to optimizing the databases of our terminal.
The best thing about SD Maid is everything else it allows us to do. This tool divides all its cleaning functions, giving us the possibility to specifically choose the type of cleaning we want to perform. From duplicate files to application residues, going through a system cleaner. SD Maid is proclaimed, if not the best, as one of the most versatile options to free up space on our device.
SD Maid is free on the Play Store, although it has a feature unlocker, which is sold as a separate application at a price of 2.40 euros.
