Full device memory

[Brickburner]

Hello. The o2 chat seems to be out of action at the moment, can anyone answer my question. My Samsung Smart phone tells me the my 'device memory is almost full'....'clear cached data for all apps'. I only use whatsapp but its my partner's old phone so it may have lots on it. Is it safe to clear my cached data does anyone know? Thanks and stay safe. Andrew

The one on left of picture is a sim, the right an SD card.

Hi again. Just checked and virtually nothing is being saved to my SD card, its all in the phone memory, hence my problem. Just have to suss out now how to get it to save to my SD card and not the phone.

For photos, you should be able to go into the gallery settings and move them all to SD card.

Sounds good but I cant find any field called gallery settings, what am I missing? Im in my storage page, is that where I should be looking?

Something like this (may vary slightly by phone)....

1. From a Home screen, navigate: Apps  > My Files.
2. Select an option (e.g., Images, Audio, etc.).
3. Tap the Menu icon  (upper-right).
4. Tap Select then select (check) the desired file(s).
5. Tap the Menu icon.
6. Tap Move.
7. Tap SD / Memory Card.
8. Navigate to the preferred folder then tap MOVE HERE (upper-right).

Thanks again. Did what you suggested and it told me that the photos were already on the card, so the big block of cached data seems to be something else?

It could just be too old?

What phone is it?

Need to rest my brain now, so will sign off and check here again later. Many thanks for all your help so far.
