However, the discovery process is a little strange. Duringrnthis phase, the temporary file count steadily increases and the space that isrncurrently available steadily decreases until it hits 0. It appears as thoughrnthe app consumes every bit of space on your phone. But in actuality, the apprnreally does free up space consumed by temporary files. In my tests I was ablernto recover about 20 MB of space even though I had just cleaned the phone usingrnCache Cleaner.

Storage Cleaner is free for Windows Phone.
