Delete Unnecessary Apps
Go to your settings and look for the list of installed apps. Uninstall the ones you no longer use.
Clear Cache and Data

Delete duplicates and unnecessary media files.
Check your downloads folder and remove files you no longer need.
Use Cloud Storage
Upload photos, videos, and documents to cloud services and then delete them from your device.
Manage Media Files
Compress Photos/Videos: Use apps that reduce the file size of photos and videos without significant quality loss.
Remove old text messages, especially those with media attachments.
Use External Storage (Android)
If your phone supports SD cards, move files, apps, and media to the external storage.
Backup and Delete Old Files
Regularly transfer files like photos, videos, and documents to your computer and delete them from your phone.
Review and Delete App Data
