Asked By CuriousCat92 On

I've noticed something concerning on my Nothingphone 1, running Android 15. Last week, I had 132 GB of temporary system files, and now it has jumped by 40 GB without me doing anything particularly unusual. I'm trying to figure out what might be using up that much space. Any suggestions on how to track it down?

It's also worth checking your WiFi and cellular data usage. You can look at your battery usage stats per app too. If something is using a ton of space all of a sudden, it might also be pulling a lot of data or draining your battery. That could help you pinpoint the culprit.

Have you tried clearing the app data and cache for apps like WhatsApp and social media platforms? They tend to accumulate a lot of junk over time, especially messaging apps that hold onto images, videos, and memes. Also, make sure that Google Photos isn't downloading from the cloud back to your device! You might want to use the Google Files app to get a clearer picture of what's taking up space.
