Hi

 

I was running out of storage and had to uninstalled or delete apps on my phone. 

 

At the moment I used a total of 5.09gb out of 7.28gb

 

I have 7.28-5.09= 2.19 gb remaining and used up 5.09-2.91=2.18gb

 

I have used up 2.91GB in system & reserved, this cannot be uninstalled or deleted

 

If I delete an app by accident, such as Microsoft edge or Messaging, how do I get the app back?

 

I have

 

Maps - 55.1mb

Temporary files - 29.2mb

 

Is it safe to delete these two apps?

 

Thanks

If you delete accidentally just go to the Microsoft store app on the phone.

It's safe to delete maps if you don't use them but there could be apps that use them. Personally I wouldn't delete either of the ones you mentioned.

Have a look at storage settings for cached files and delete those.

Even if you delete those that you listed (it’s app storage, not apps) the 70 ish mb won’t help you much.
Better to get an sd  card and move your apps and storage to sd card rather than on the phone.
