How to Clear Google Drive Storage Space on Your Mobile Phone (2024)
This video will show you how to clear Google Drive Storage on your mobile phone.
Google Drive provides 15GB of free space for each Google account you have.
This space will be shared between Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photo services.
If you often store files on Google Drive, your storage space will fill up quickly.
If you run out of space, you may be unable to upload more files or even receive email messages.
So, it's best to clear up space on your Google Drive often.
Here are the steps on how to do it on your mobile phone.
First, launch your Google Drive App.
If your storage is nearly full, you'll get a warning from Google.
In this case, you just need to click on Clean up space.
You can still clear up space if your storage is not nearly full.
Click on the three horizontal lines and tap on storage.
On the next window, tap on clean up space.
You'll be brought to the storage manager window.
The storage manager will point you to where you can start clearing storage space.
You can also clean up by service.
If you tap on Google Drive, you'll see a list of files taking up storage space.
You can filter this list by Size, file name, or date.
The default is large files. The list will show the largest file first, followed by other big files.
You can select all by tapping on the square box.
You can also select the files individually by tapping on each of them.
After selecting your files, hit the trash icon.
Your file will be deleted.
Note that you can't delete a large folder with this method.
You must do it manually if you want to delete an entire folder.
Search for the folder on Google Drive.
Tap on the three dots.
Then, choose Show Folder Location.
Then click on the three dots.
Next, hit remove at the bottom.
The deleted file will be moved to the Trash folder.
Check the trash folder.
Delete the folder from the trash to free up space.
You can then return to the main Google Drive page to verify that storage space has been cleared.
Those were the steps to clear Google Drive storage on your mobile phone.
Now, go ahead and give the steps a try.
