25 Phone Memory Utilisation

Nowadays we are dependent on our mobile phone so much that over a period of time its memory gets filled up.  When we are ready to video record an important function or a program, it suddenly says “memory full, please clear some memory” or other such messages.  Since we have to record the function, we end up deleting some videos or photos which we would have liked to keep!!  Just to ensure that such things do not happen, it is essential that we clean up the phone memory once a month.  This will be once a week for those who keep taking pictures or recording videos regularly!!

I will write about the major heads under which the memory gets clogged: -

a)   Pictures and Videos – Every month or week, attach your mobile device to your computer and transfer all the photos and videos to the computer.  Ensure that you delete these from your mobile phone after you have confirmed its availability in your computer.  After every six months or so, you can also view them in the computer and delete it from there too, if these are not requiredJ.

b)    Movies – You would have copied some movies too in your mobile phone. Pls ensure you delete it after seeing them.  Even otherwise, it is not advisable to view movies on a mobile.  Rather you watch it in TV through a USB stick or see it in a tab or a computer.

c)   WhatsApp messages and Videos – These occupy the maximum space in your mobile phone.  After connecting the phone to your computer, copy all the files from the WhatsApp Video, WhatsApp Audio and WhatsApp Images folder to your machine.  And delete them from the phone.  For an extensive user of WhatsApp, this needs to be done on a weekly basis.  Others can do it on a monthly basis.

d)   Download App/Folder – Check out this folder also in your phone and delete whatever is not required.  In case you cannot connect to a computer and don’t require the photos and videos in your mobile, you can delete all of them through this folder also. 

e)    Apps – On a monthly basis, have a look at the Apps that are there in your phone.  You might have downloaded something for a day and would have never used it again.  Do you still require that App?  If you don’t, just delete it.  Using the Storage option, under Settings, you can also find out which Apps have used maximum storage.  In case you do not require that App, just delete it. It will delete all its data too, giving you more space to work with.

f)     Magazine readers – In case you have Magzter or any other magazine reader, you will have to do a cleanup every week.  These Apps download the magazines in your mobile and take up huge spaces.  Once you have read the downloaded magazines, just delete it.

Just do these things on a regular basis and ensure your mobile has enough space to take on more data!!

Happy Space-Creation!!  Cheers!!
