- Open Storage settings and identify whether photos, videos, messages or apps are the main cause.
- Back up irreplaceable photos and files before deleting anything from the device.
- Remove offline media, duplicate downloads and large chat attachments you no longer need.
- Offload or uninstall unused apps; clear an app cache only when the system offers that option.
Follow the official instructions for your device or service. Back up important data before changing settings or attempting repairs.
