I'm really struggling with my Android phone's storage. Every time I try to clear some space by deleting old photos or videos, I notice that the available storage decreases again just a few minutes later. For example, if I delete around 350MB of files, my phone shows that I have 750MB left, but then it drops to around 400MB or even 300MB shortly after. I started with about 11GB of space, and now I can hardly take any new screenshots or photos because I'm running out of storage. I only have a few well-known apps on it, no games or streaming services, so I'm not sure what's going on. Any advice on what to do?

It sounds like your phone is having trouble managing the storage. One thing you might try is backing up all your photos to a computer or cloud service and then deleting them from your phone. Check if the storage issue persists after that. Sometimes, cleaning apps can also help. Just be cautious with what you delete!
I’ve done this before and it actually helped a lot! Just make sure to keep a copy of important stuff!
