Windows Phone 8: Clear Temporary Files to Save Space..
Over a period of months, the
installed apps on your Windows Phone 8 device will eat up your phone’s limited storage with temporary files. Be sure to clear those files to
save room for more apps.
Please note that this feature is for Lumia Windows 8 phones
exclusively. Make sure your phone is up-to-date. This tutorial is
written based on firmware
1232.5957.1308.0001.
1. Assuming that you are viewing the live tiles screen, swipe to the left side to access the app list. Find
Settings in the list, and tap on it to continue.
2. When you are in the
Settings screen, scroll down to the bottom, and choose the
storage check option.
3. Wait for the program to collect the
storage information. Once the process is complete, you can see how much
space is consumed by apps/games, media and files, and the system. You
can also see how much space is available on the phone.
4. Swipe to the left to switch from the
overview screen to the details screen which will let you view the
consumed space in detail. If you want to see how much space is consumed
by each app or game, tap the
details button. If you want to clear the temporary files, tap the
clear button. Please note that you cannot clear all files. Some of them are required so that the app can function properly.
5. Below is a screenshot of how the
consumed space of each app is presented. You can use this to identify
which app takes the most space on the phone. If you want to uninstall
the app, come back to the app list, long-press on the app that you want,
and choose
Uninstall.
