Five ways to avoid storage issues

Get an SD card 
The easiest way to up your storage capacity is to buy an SD card. These can add dozens of gigabytes of storage to your mobile and can be boughtfairly cheaply online. This should suit all but the most ardent power user.

Purge your pics
Every now and again, have a little delete-spree. You probably take loads of photos without realising it, especially now Burst mode is on lots of phones, so see which ones can be deleted. Remeber that videos will also gobble up your storage capacity.

Universal export 
If you don’t want to delete your data, the best option may be to export it, either to Dropbox or to your laptop’s hard drive. This will clear a lot of space on your phone and this way you won’t lose any of your important files.

Head in the cloud 
lf you do quite a lot ofwork on your phone or tablet, it may be wise to save all ofyour files straight to the cloud or to a Google Drive account. This will save space on your mobile as well as then being available on any other synced device at your convenience.

Clear data
Every time you use an app, some data is cached. This is generally useful as it means that it will load up more quickly next time you open it, but each piece ofcached data will eat away at your phone’s storage. Delete cached data and you should free up some space.
