Freeing up storage space
As you use HTC One A9, 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. In Camera settings, tap Video Quality to change the resolution.
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
Uninstall apps that you've downloaded if no longer need them. Preinstalled apps can be disabled
when you're not using them. See
Move apps to the storage card
Third-party apps that you've downloaded and installed can be moved to the storage card if you've
set up the card as internal storage. See

Unmounting the storage card
When you need to remove the storage card while HTC One A9 is on, unmount the storage card first
to prevent corrupting or damaging the files in the storage card.
If your storage card is used as internal storage and there are apps that were moved to the card,
you will not be able to open these apps after unmounting the card.
