Check and increase available memory on your phone
Want to check how much memory you have available? Use the storage sense
app.
Tap
Storage Sense.
Tap phone.
Tip:
Want to see what more you have on your phone? Download the Files
app from Store, and easily manage files on your phone.
If the phone memory is getting full, first check for and remove things you no
longer need:
• Text, multimedia, and mail messages
• Contact entries and details
• Apps
• Music, photos, or videos
Remove temporary files to free up space
Tap phone > temporary files > delete. To delete temporary files and other data
from just your browser, tap Internet Explorer settings > delete history.
Tip:
If your phone doesn't recognize the file type of a file (such as a zip file),
it places the file in the Other folder. You can check what these are and delete
the ones you don't need using the Files app.
Delete an app from your phone
You can remove installed apps that you no longer want to keep or use, to increase
the amount of available memory.
1. On the start screen, swipe left to the apps menu.
2. Tap and hold the app, and tap uninstall. You may not be able to remove some
apps.
If you remove an app, you may be able to reinstall without buying again, as long
as the app is available in Store.
If an installed app depends on a removed app, the installed app may stop
working. For details, see the user documentation of the installed app.
