Move photos to a cloud drive.

Move photos to a cloud drive.

This. Install Google photos and let it do its thing.

Although 1000 photos and 200 text messages shouldn't come anywhere near filling up a 64gb phone.

Install "files go" from google on the play store, it'll give you some advice.

Move photos to a cloud drive.

Even so. these photos are still saved on Android phone, what i mean how to delete them if i moved photos to a cloud drive ,

There may be some hidden data or software on the phone that we can't see.

Go in to the folder (gallery) and delete them?

Do a factory reset, and then you don't have to worry about that.

thanks for the suggestion, first time I've heard of this app.

Files go will show you that.

Google photos will automatically do that if you tell it to.

128gb SD card is what I do.

Yeah, google are really great at not telling anyone about their apps!

Datally is OK if you want to keep tabs on your data as well.

I've had my G6 for a couple weeks and take a lot of pictures, it only has 32GB of storage- just added a SD card and set it as the default location for pics and video. Can I move the photos that are already on the phone to the SD card? Maybe I'll just delete them since they are backed up to Google and One Drive automatically. Just trying to keep the phone "clean".

Yeah. You can move the pictures using any file manager or install "files go" and that'll offer to do it for you.

That is what i thought at first , and i have tried once , it seems that the factory reset can not allow me to do this , as i know the factory reset can not completely delete anything from phone , it just deleted it from the surface of the phone.

Me too , but i don't know if it works

 

[Pakast]

As you said the Google photos can help me to manage these photos and delete them for my phone , isn't it ?

As you said If i add a SD card for my phone , i think it's a very dangerous operation.For an all-in-one machine, to add a card to need to open it ,

 

[Pakast]

I haven't used it,can it help me to do what I want to do? completely delete them .......

 

[Pakast]

I did delete the data manually and factory reset for my Android phone , as you said they don't help at all.and can you describe in detail thees tools you suggest, because I know very little about them.

 

[WelshBloke]

No I'm fine with using the built in tools thanks.

Obviously , the factory reset program can not help you to clean your phone, because they have the possibility of recovery , It's not just for android users, it's the same for other devices,

How?

The OP hasn't been back here in two weeks, so maybe despite the dangers of inserting a micro SD card into a phone, they were able to pull that difficult feat off, and this thread is no longer needed.

However, if they weren't able to insert a micro SD card, if only there was some kind of free super-duper program that could not only "clean the surface" of the phone, but also could really get deep down in there. Maybe someone will come along and tell us all about that kind of program.

Yes. What new poster could appear serendipitously and suggest a previously unknown app that he could suggest we download?

Or we could enable encryption on our SDcards and not worry!

First, uninstall every app you don't use.

Install DiskUsage
Write down apps with the largest disk space used.
Go to Settings -> Apps -> Specific App -> Storage -> Clear Cache/Data

You will clear TONS of space.
