My Files
Use My Files on your device
The My Files app stores every file you have on your phone or tablet. It's like the File Explorer on a PC or Finder on
Mac, where you can easily view and move photos, videos, music, documents, and more. You can also remove files
from the My Files app if you no longer need them. The Trash feature in My Files should be on by default, but you
should make sure it's turned on just in case.
Note: Tablets do not have the Trash feature in My Files, so files can't be restored once they are deleted.
Navigate to and open the My Files app. It's usually in the Samsung folder.
