How can I clear memory on Android

Memory in Androids has a slight drawback. So, the operational (RAM) needs to be constantly cleaned up, and the internal storage should not be clogged. This greatly affects the speed and productivity of the device. This is the factor that fans of other OS like to pay attention to. But how do you clear the memory on Android? Let's figure it out in stages.

Types of memory

• RAM (RAM) – RAM. She is responsible for storing the specific code currently being executed, as well as for storing intermediate data.
• Internal – is responsible for storing the operating system, its system files, data from other applications, saves, user data, etc.
• External – can exist separately from the device. Used to expand existing data sets. This includes both a regular flash drive and cloud storage.

Cleaning up RAM

For the most vulnerable spot in Android, developers have come up with hundreds of programs that clear memory with one click of a button. For convenience, most programs have special widgets. Opponents will say that it's still inconvenient, but, you see, it's easier than manually 'killing' processes in the Task Manager. Especially in cases where you don't know which process is responsible for what.

For example, Clean Master will help free up memory for Android in a couple of seconds. In addition, it will help you remove junk, unnecessary applications and even transfer files, which will be discussed below. Where does the garbage come from? These are temporary saves, cached Internet pages, remnants of already deleted applications, and so on.

Going directly into the program, select 'Trash' and clean it up. There is no need to worry here, but then you will be prompted to perform the 'Advanced cleaning'. Read the list carefully here. Also go to the main menu Android and take out from the list of CM widgets to the desktop.

Cleaning the main drive of the gadget

Why is main memory (RAM) clogged? This is influenced by many factors:

• storing media data on the OP (photos, ringtones, videos);
• applications are installed on the OS by default;
• file transfer using messengers (Skype, ICQ, Viber), e-mail and social networks;
• streaming data reception (Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth);
• recording on a dictaphone;
• lack of external memory (VP).

Steps to avoid the need for cleaning

It is extremely important not only to clear the memory Android, but also to take preliminary actions to avoid its need. To do this, review the parameters of the entire MID and set the storage paths to the external drive. In particular, check the camera and voice recorder settings, see where the Download folder is in the browser. It is necessary to change its location. Check the same in all messengers and other communication tools. If you use torrent clients or other downloaders, be sure to set the option to manually select the save path, or at least specify a standard folder on the USB flash drive. Check the GPS settings: where the maps are located, where the routes are saved, etc.

Moving files

However, the VI is clogged and the files need to be moved. These actions can be performed using standard tools, but it will take a long time. It's easier to download any file manager. In this case, Total Commander is the best. True, the usual ES Explorer will do too. You can take action by connecting your tablet to your PC. The latter makes it easier to find large folders. With the same 'Total Commander' (computer only) go to your device and press the space bar on each daddy. 'Total' will instantly calculate how much space each of them takes.

Check the following folders first:

• Sounds;
• Bluetooth;
• Video;
• Download;
• Music;
• Media;
• Movies;
• DCIM.

These are the main folders, but there are also saved applications folders. Which ones? Only you can know. For example, if you created ringtones, then the directory can be named in tune with Ringtons. If you have adjusted the effects on the video, the directory can be called either by the name of the program or by something else. For example, EXPORT. Capture – folder with captured video.

Moving apps

If possible, transfer all applications to the SD card. True, not everyone will want, especially the system ones. Go to 'MID Options' in the 'Applications' section. Then, in turn, go to each of them and look for the button 'Move to SD' below.

As mentioned above, it is possible to do this 'in bulk'. Use the above section in Clean Master. By the way, if you already have it installed, it will ask itself if you want to do it.

Cloud storage

21 century! Don't be afraid of 'clouds'. There are all kinds of Google (Yahoo, Yandex) drives, Dropbox.

You will also benefit from this, because these files can be accessed from any device connected to the Internet.
