Files by Google is the file manager that actually helps you delete junk without spelunking through obscure folders—plus a clean share sheet for nearby devices.
Free space without panic
- Open Clean → review junk files and blurry photos before confirming.
- Use Browse → Downloads to mass‑select installers you no longer need.
- Move large videos to a USB‑C drive or PC instead of deleting keepers.
Share a folder nearby
Select items → Share → Quick Share / Nearby. Pair with LocalSend when the Google stack misbehaves.
If something fails
“Clear junk” will not uninstall apps. For app-heavy storage issues, use system Settings → Apps sorted by size.
