Question How do i delete the files from the "Others" category in storage?

[TheFlash1300]

The "Others" category probably contains unremoved cache, failed downloads/updates, failed backups, etc... It doesn't matter whether I download or delete files/apps. the amount of free space always decreases. Even if I just use the phone and don't download anything, the amount of free space will still be decreasing.

The problem comes from the fact the "Others" category constantly grows in size.

Can someone tell me how to remove the files from this category, so I can free up space? Is deleting files from this category even possible?

Install and run either WinDirStat, or WizTree.

Run as Administrator, selecting only the drive in question.

Sorry...that is your phone.

'Others' is simply anything that does not fall into any of the specified categories.
Basically, "everything else".

Okay. Are those files hidden and inaccessible, or is there a way to see them and delete them? I Checked many folders, but never saw those files. I think they are hidden.

Is there a way to see the files, mark them, and delete them?

May be hidden or not.

The "Others" is simply all the other things, in one heading.
If they didn't do that, you might have hundreds of tiny individual headings.
