Mobile phone: memory full despite memory card - what to do?

If you have provided your cell phone with a memory card, but you are still shown that your memory is full, then certain aspects should be checked. After all, you still want to be able to install pictures, videos and apps without having to delete other content.

What you can do if your phone memory is full despite having a memory card

If your phone shows you that you are running low on memory even though you have a memory card installed, there may be several reasons for this. Before you check all of these, you should create a backup of your data for safety, so that it may not be lost.

1. In order to store all photos and other files directly on the memory card in the future, you can change the storage location under "Settings" > "Storage" to the SD card. This is also possible for various apps that store certain data or even pictures internally. Under the app's own functions, you can also change the storage location.
2. To free up storage space, you should uninstall apps that are not needed. So ask yourself if certain apps are used or if they can not be easily removed from your phone as well.
3. Often it is the memory that needs a lot of space to act without problems. Therefore, it is important that temporary files are deleted regularly. Therefore, clean the cache of your browser as well as that of your internal memory again and again. Various cleaner apps prove to be particularly useful.
4. If you have many photos and videos stored on your phone, then it is worth it if you drag them over to your PC and save them there. So you have plenty of space on your phone again for new.
