Making more storage space

As you use HTC Desire 628 , you'll accumulate data and fill its storage capacity over time. Here are some tips on how to increase storage space.

Run the storage wizard

Free up space in the storage by uninstalling apps and deleting files you no longer want to keep. In Settings, tap Storage > Make more space.

Manage photos and videos

  • After taking continuous camera shots, keep only the best shot. Discard the rest, if you don't need them.
  • After editing a photo or trimming a video, the original file is kept. Delete original files or move them elsewhere, such as to your computer.
  • If you're only sending videos through MMS, use a lower resolution. Hi-res video takes up more space. In Camera settings, tap Video Quality to change the resolution.

Remove unused themes

Themes can quickly consume up storage space because themes can include images, sounds and icons. Remove themes you're not using. See Deleting a theme.

Back up data and files

Keep only the most recent data in your apps and files that you often need to use. You can back up your other data and files. For some tips, see Ways of backing up files, data, and settings.

Disable some apps

See Disabling an app.

Move some apps to the storage card

Some third-party apps can be moved from the phone storage to the storage card. Go to Settings > Apps > On SD card to see which apps can be moved. To move, tap an app, and then tap Move.

Important:
  • Moving apps to the storage card doesn't back up the apps. If you do a factory reset, your phone loses the apps. You'll need to reinstall them.
  • When you remove the storage card and insert it in another phone, the apps on the storage card won't be installed automatically to the other phone. You'll need to reinstall them.
