How to Check Storage on an Android Phone or Tablet

See which apps and file categories are using device storage.

Quick Answer

Open Settings and search for Storage; the exact path varies by manufacturer.

Step by Step

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Select Storage, or search Settings for Storage.
  3. Review categories such as Apps, Images, Videos, and Documents.
  4. Open a category or app before deleting data.
  5. Use cleanup recommendations carefully.

If That Doesn't Work

  • Clearing an app's data can sign you out or erase local information.
  • Verify important photos and files are backed up before deleting them.
