Freeing up storage space

As you use HTC U11, you'll accumulate data and fill its storage capacity over time. Here are some
tips on how to free up phone storage space.
Manage photos and videos
§ After taking continuous camera shots, keep only the best shot. Discard the rest, if you don't
need them.
§ After editing a photo or trimming a video, the original file is kept. Delete original files or
move them elsewhere, such as to your computer.
§ If you're only sending videos through MMS, use a lower resolution. Hi-res video takes up
more space.
§ RAW image files take up a lot of storage space. It's recommended to use a storage card as the
default storage for photos and videos. If your storage card is running low on space, consider
moving RAW image files to your computer.
Remove unused themes
Themes can quickly consume up storage space because themes can include images, sounds and
icons. Remove themes you're not using. See
Back up data and files
Keep only the most recent data in your apps and files that you often need to use. You can back up
your other data and files. For some tips, see
Remove or disable apps

Preinstalled apps can be disabled when you're not using them. See
