What Storage Analyzer shows
When your phone is running out of space, the first step is knowing what is taking it.
- Storage summary
- Total, used and free space on your device.
- Breakdown by file type
- How much space each type of file uses, where Android allows access.
- Large-file finder
- A list of the biggest files, so you can see what is worth removing.
- Availability varies
- What the app can show depends on your Android version and the permissions you grant.
- Contents stay private
- The app reads file names and sizes only, not file contents, and does not upload file lists.
How to see what is using your phone's storage
A quick check shows where the space went.
- Open Storage Analyzer and allow the storage or media access Android asks for. Without it the picture is limited.
- Look at the summary for used and free space.
- Open the breakdown to see which file types use the most space.
- Use the large-file finder to find big files.
- Back up anything you might need before you delete it, since deleted files cannot always be recovered.
Frequently asked questions
Why does Storage Analyzer ask for storage or media permission?
Android only lets the app see files that count towards each category if you allow access. The app uses it to measure sizes and list files, not to read their contents. If you deny it, the app shows a more limited picture.
Does the app read or upload my files?
No. It reads names, sizes, types and locations that Android lets it see, calculates everything on your phone and does not upload file lists.
Can it help me free up space?
It shows what is using space and lists large files so you can decide what to remove. Deleting files is your choice and cannot always be undone.
Why do the numbers differ from other tools?
Sizes and categories depend on what Android lets the app see and can differ from the system settings or other apps.
Does it work on every Android version?
The app works where Android allows access. What it can show depends on your Android version and the permissions you grant.
Is Storage Analyzer free?
The app is free and supported by ads, with consent choices where the law requires them.
