Screenshots: Declutter your phone with one of these handy apps

Introduction

Like PCs, smartphones can accumulate a lot of clutter in the\r\nform of duplicate pictures, temporary files, and unused applications. All this clutter\r\ncan rob your phone of performance and decrease available storage space.\r\nFortunately, a number of utilities can help you to cut through some of the mess.

Memory & Disk Scanner Pro

A free trial version of Memory & Disk Scanner Pro is\r\navailable, but you’ll need to upgrade to the Pro version to continue using the\r\napp beyond the trial period.

Clean Master

Clean Master is free for Android.

Cache Cleaner Pro

Cache Cleaner Pro is a simple but effective app for Windows Phone. It determines\r\nhow much storage exists on your phone and how much of that storage is still\r\navailable. It then allows you to reclaim some storage space by emptying the\r\nphone’s cache. The cache cleaning process can be completed with a single tap. A\r\nHistory screen keeps track of your cache cleaning operations and the amount of\r\nspace reclaimed by each.

Storage Cleaner

However, the discovery process is a little strange. During\r\nthis phase, the temporary file count steadily increases and the space that is\r\ncurrently available steadily decreases until it hits 0. It appears as though\r\nthe app consumes every bit of space on your phone. But in actuality, the app\r\nreally does free up space consumed by temporary files. In my tests I was able\r\nto recover about 20 MB of space even though I had just cleaned the phone using\r\nCache Cleaner.
