Freeing up storage space

As you use HTC U Play, you'll accumulate data and fill its storage capacity over time. Here are some
tips on how to free up phone storage space.

Manage photos and videos

§

After taking continuous camera shots, keep only the best shot. Discard the rest, if you don't
need them.

§

After editing a photo or trimming a video, the original file is kept. Delete original files or
move them elsewhere, such as to your computer.

§

If you're only sending videos through MMS, use a lower resolution. Hi-res video takes up
more space.

§

RAW image files take up a lot of storage space. It's recommended to use a storage card as the
default storage for photos and videos. If your storage card is running low on space, consider
moving RAW image files to your computer.

Remove unused themes

Themes can quickly consume up storage space because themes can include images, sounds and
icons. Remove themes you're not using. See 

Deleting a theme

 on page 124.

Back up data and files

Keep only the most recent data in your apps and files that you often need to use. You can back up
your other data and files. For some tips, see 

Ways of backing up files, data, and settings

 on page 103.

Remove or disable apps

Uninstall apps that you've downloaded if no longer need them. See 

Uninstalling an app

 on page 113.

Preinstalled apps can be disabled when you're not using them. See 

Disabling an app

 on page 116.

Move apps to the storage card

Third-party apps that you've downloaded and installed can be moved to the storage card if you've
set up the card as internal storage. See 

Moving apps and data between the phone storage and storage

card

 on page 99 and 

Moving an app to the storage card
