Samsung Internal Storage Full Problem | Possible Solutions Revealed 2020 | with English Subtitle

Yo, what’s up, it’s your boy Tweaks PH, back again with another handy Android fix! So, you’ve got a Samsung phone that keeps screaming “Full Storage” even though you know it ain’t true? Annoying, right? You check your files, and they barely take up 1GB, but your phone says 8GB is maxed out. What’s the deal with that? Let’s get into it and fix that problem once and for all!

What’s Really Going On?

Sometimes, Samsung devices might act up and report full storage even though you’ve only used a small portion of it. This glitch could come from misread data or bloated third-party apps messing with your system. But don’t worry—I got you covered.

Step 1: How to Know If Your Storage Report Is Accurate

To make sure your phone is telling the truth about its storage:

  1. Go to My Files > Internal Storage.
  2. Long press all your folders to select them.
  3. Tap Details and check the actual file size stored on your phone.

If it still doesn’t add up, you’re dealing with a glitch or a hidden app problem. Your phone isn’t as “full” as it says.

Step 2: The Usual Culprits – Third-Party Apps and Antivirus

The first thing you’ll want to check is whether you’ve installed any third-party antivirus apps. These can cause storage issues if they mismanage your storage or bloat your system with unnecessary data.

  • Uninstall any third-party antivirus and other apps you’re not using.
  • These unnecessary apps can take up hidden storage without you knowing.

Step 3: Clear Cache, Not Data!

Next up is to clear your app cache. This helps free up temporary data stored in your phone’s system, but be careful not to clear actual data, or you’ll end up losing important stuff like app settings and preferences.

  1. Go to Settings > Apps.
  2. Tap each app and select Storage.
  3. Hit Clear Cache, but don’t tap Clear Data unless you know what you’re doing! (Trust me, you’ll regret it if you’re not ready.)

Step 4: Factory Reset (Last Resort)

If the above steps don’t work and your storage is still acting funky, a factory reset might be your best option. BUT—and this is a big BUT—make sure you back up all your data first, unlink your Google accounts, and remove your SIM and memory card. Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Back up your files to Google Drive or an external device.
  2. Unlink any Gmail or other synced accounts.
  3. Go to Settings > Backup & Reset.
  4. Select Factory Data Reset and follow the prompts.
    This will clear up any software bugs, but be cautious—you’re starting from scratch here.

Step 5: Seek Professional Help

If after trying all these steps, your phone is still giving you issues, it might be time to call in the pros. A seasoned cellphone technician can help diagnose any deeper issues you might be facing with your device’s storage.

Final Thoughts

Sometimes your phone is just overloaded with hidden data, third-party apps, or glitches in the system. By checking your storage details, clearing cache, and managing apps, you can often fix the issue yourself. But when all else fails, the factory reset is your last resort. If you’re not comfortable doing it, don’t hesitate to seek professional help. As always, make sure to watch the video tutorial below if you find any of these steps hard to follow.
