Free Up Storage On Your Google Pixel

Every app, message, document and picture takes up a certain amount of storage space on a cell phone. The more data you store on your device, the less storage capacity you’ll have.

How To Free Up Storage Automatically:

1. Open Settings on your Google Pixel.
2. Tap Storage.
3. Activate Smart Storage.

How To Free Up Storage Manually:

1. Open Settings.
2. Tap Storage.
3. Tap Free Up Space.
4. Select any items you’d like to clear from your Pixel’s storage.
5. Tap Free Up.

Why this works:

When you occupy all of the available storage space on your cell phone, it can experience a wide array of malfunctions. Clearing away some unnecessary data might get your Pixel working normally again.

Pro tip:

The Smart Storage function on your Google Pixel automatically clears unnecessary data when your storage capacity gets close to full.
