How to Free Up Space on the Internal Storage

I guess we’ve all gotten the dreaded phone storage is getting low notification on our Android devices at one point or the other, since Android didn’t allow the installation of applications to the memory card until Froyo arrived. Even with Android 2.2, being able to free up a couple of MB on the internal storage may still come in handy. This can be achieved by clearing the cache that some applications use.

• Go to Settings > Applications > Manage applications on your device. If you see an application somewhere at the top of this list that you do not use, you can of course uninstall it by tapping on it and pressing the Uninstall button. But what we’re looking for are apps that may have a large cache.
• To check if an application has a cache, select it in the list and it will be stated on the resulting screen. To clear the cache, simply press the Clear cache button.
• Some apps that may have a large cache are Maps, Market, Internet and Photos.
• You may also clear the data that’s associated with an app from the Application info screen. This will erase all the data the app has generated: basically, you’re “hardresetting” the application.
  
• In case you use homescreen replacements such as LauncherPro and have no intention of switching back to Sense or the vanilla launcher, you can free up a lot of space by clearing the data for HTC Sense or Home.
