Dear Forum,

 

I would appreciate an answer to my question about my mobile phone.

 

I have a Samsung Galaxy A20s mobile phone, here in the UK.

 

It is a very comfortable and easy-to-use phone.  However, it has very limited storage indeed.  About 2 weeks ago, I began to run out of space.  At one stage, I only had 66Mb of storage space left.  However, I now have 5.7Gb storage space left.  How come the difference?  Can anyone say?  Be most appreciative of a reply,

 

Marek

No idea,  Where did you find had only 66Mb and then found 5.7Gb  ?

 

Did you turn your phone off, use a cleaner ?  More Info needed.

Dear Pkshadow,

 

Thanks very much for the reply.  I clicked on 'Settings' on my phone, then clicked on 'Battery and Device Care'.  This showed me how much storage space I have.  I was just wondering what it was that increased my storage space from a measly 66Mb to 5.5 Gb?  Any answers most welcolme,

 

Marek

I think this pretty much explains it more or less : https://www.reddit.com/r/samsung/comments/o1c0sv/what_the_fuck_is_other_and_why_is_18_gigabytes/

 

So Apps Cache would explain it and when deletes it self the increase.

 

I had never been into Device Care and poof...........I was cleaned.

 

Will toss this in as well as there is other stuff : https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=Samsung+Galaxy+A20s+had+low+space+then+it+had+gigs+available
