Cleaning Junk Files

  1. Create a shortcut on the home screen for easy access.
  2. Selecting 'Junk Files' scans the deepest locations of your phone to create a list of removable files from your device.
  3. It will check for:
    • System Cache
    • Obsolete APKs : Whenever you backup your device, all your applications are converted into APKs (application installers) and saved in your SD card. These APK files consume a massive amount of storage. Keep only those APKs which are important and delete the rest in order to free up some space. [1]
    • Uninstalled application's residual files : Whenever any application is uninstalled, they leave some unwanted files and empty folders. These files consume space unnecessarily and deleting them is safe.
  4. Check to make sure the app is not deleting any files you use. If you see any of your important files on the list, just uncheck those boxes.
  5. All the junk files will be deleted in a moment, and your phone should speed up.

      • Clean the junk twice or thrice in a month to prevent your phone from slowing down again. How often you need to clean the junk depends on your Internet usage and the number of apps installed.
