Looking For Suggestions Can't free up any storage and it automatically refills back up!!!

0 Upvotes

My phone has the full 128/128 GB storage now. And about 99% of that is system stuff and appdata for some reason, almost none of it is photos and videos.

If I want to, I could delete the appdata of some apps. But thats certainly not something I want to do, because for example if I delete the appdata of whatsapp then that means all chats are gone. I don't want that!!!!!

I don't want to delete anything that is valuable or necessary.

I already deleted the appdata of some apps like reddit and discord. But somehow the phone still crams the storage back up to 128 automatically every time, no matter how much I free up, a few days later its full again.

How can I possibly solve this? Time for a new phone even though storage is literally the only big problem I have with this one?

I'm a tech savvy person but I can't figure this one out. Fuck android and badly designed android apps tbh.

Storage problem

1 Upvotes

I checked my phone's internal memory and it said that my apps were taking up a total of 57GB. They don't even exceed 10GB, and I've already cleared the cache and everything else I could. I have no idea what's causing this... my phone is a A54 and every time I get a notification saying that the memory is full..

Could someone give me some ideas on how to solve this?

Looking For Suggestions First time android user

• Upvotes

Hi, first time android user, newly switched after a lifetime on iPhone.

I'm a big fan of open source software and apps, and am heavily into self hosting my own media and replacing big tech apps with open source alternatives.

I'm looking for advice on the best ways to replace a few apps I presently use, as android seems to have a much more open ecosystem.

Things I'm looking for replacements for, largely to block adds, ha. Reddit, YouTube, and any of the social media apps. I'm moving off the social media apps, but still have them for family connections.

In line with my self.hoating, is love an app to links into the *arr suite of apps.

I've heard about f-droid as an OSS app store, wondering about that too.

Any help for a newbie would be appreciated

If it's relevant, I'm in a pixel 11 pro.

Forced switch to Gemini Assistant, and all I need is for it to SHUT UP

10 Upvotes

Please...I beg with tears in my eyes for someone to reveal to me a way to turn off Gemini Assistant's audible voice responses to every request (Pixel 8). No, I don't want to turn down my media volume, and when I request the procedure for turning off the voice, it gives me a set of options that DON'T EXIST!

I'm not usually using headphones, and... is it too much to ask that my phone not blast to the public "SURE! I NOTICED THAT THIS ALARM CORRESPONDS TO YOUR PROCTOLOGIST APPOINTMENT ON FRIDAY....SHOULD I LABEL IT 'PROCTOLOGIST APPOINTMENT' FOR YOU?"

Other How do I delete files from Android folder?

0 Upvotes

So I finally got the official bedrock Minecraft after playing pirated versions for years and it won't install. The most likely issue is the files clashing with the old files. I've deleted all my past versions of the game but there are still remnants in my Android Data files which I can't delete because it's hard-locked and can't be modified.

I've tried connecting the phone to my computer and deleting it but it still doesn't work. I tried the Shizuku and ZArchiver thing too and while I was able to see the files, I couldn't delete them.

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy A34 running android version 16. I have no antiviruses installed and I have over 15gb of storage left on my phone.

Can anyone give me advice on this problem?

My Quick Tiles keep going unresponsive.

2 Upvotes

It's only just started happening in the last couple of weeks. I've removed as many unnecessary tiles from the screen. The only way I've managed to clear it is by doing a hard restart. That works for about a day and then it happens again .

Google Pixel 9. There aren't any 3rd party app tiles (AFAIK)

Device Settings Question Will this setting delete all of my current messages? need SMS and MMS backup data gone for storage

3 Upvotes

i just switched from an apple to a samsung zflip, this is my first time on a phone that is not apple.

since ive switched, my google account storage has been at max. my storage says it comes primarily from my phone, and particularly from my SMS and MMS messages.

i did find the option 'Delete and turn off SMS & MMS messages backup?' under the back up data setting, but im worried this is going to delete all of my conversations as it says 'This will delte SMS & MMS messages from your Google Account, and stop backing up SMS & MMS messages from this device.'

its the first part of that which im worried about, will this delete all of my messages i already have, or not? is this safe to do to get my storage back but still keep my current messages?
