My Samsung Galaxy A15 5G is at 99% storage capacity. I've already deleted some photos and cleared temporary app files, but barely recovered any space. Are there other ways to identify what is using the storage and free up room without uninstalling my apps?

If your phone has a microSD card slot, you can move photos and videos there. Otherwise, copy those files to a computer or another trusted backup location, confirm they transferred properly, and then delete the originals from the phone.
Check the storage used by individual apps, especially ones that save offline content. Google Maps, streaming apps, browsers, and messaging apps can accumulate a lot of cached or downloaded data. Clear their cache, and remove any offline downloads you no longer need.
Cloud backup can help with photos and videos, but make sure the backup has finished before removing anything locally. Also check the Downloads folder and large video files, since those are easy to overlook. Reinstalling an app can sometimes remove accumulated data, but check that important information is synced first.
Open Settings > Device care > Storage to see exactly what is taking up space. The breakdown should show whether the biggest category is apps, photos and videos, downloads, or something else. That makes it easier to remove the right files instead of guessing.
