How to clean up device storage ?

[congthanhgiong]

Hello,

I'm preparing to install 10586.39 but it alerts me that my device main storage only has 1 gb left which is not enough. I go check and see that my phone has only 7.28 gb on main storage (+32 gb sd) in which 3.32 gb is set aside for System, 700 mb for pictures and Maps.

2.08 gb for Apps, but Mail& calendar alone uses up 1.3 gb and cannot be uninstalled because it's system app.

What can I do to install this update other than a hard reset ?

Thanks.

Go into.storage and move storage stuff to the SD.

Go to storage settings, then clean up unnecessary files. Delete your mails..and messages.. Uninstall some Apps..u don't need, then system storage goes low.

Download Cleaner Pro 2015 from the store. It's like the window phone version of CCleaner for pc.

Thanks all, I guess i have to reset my phone. As I said above, only thing I can move is the app 2 gb but Mail & calendar app (not email data, as i already deleted all mails) alone uses up 1.3 gb. Other apps are system apps, so no way to move to SD or uninstall them.

No idea why the mail & calendar consumes that much of storage.

Because you sync too long of a time frame for too many accounts?

I think u synced many accounts, with all attachments, in all folders, within all those accounts.

When i unsync them, folder by folder, followed by accounts, then turn them off or manually download, that's how i cleared up most of the space.

Did you find a way to reset Mail app other than reset? Facing the same issue, the app is over 1GB
