Android storage isn’t what it used to be. Nowadays, expandable memory slots are no longer trendy and you’re stuck with the storage capacity your phone has to offer. This makes life difficult for the average Android user who hasn’t yet embraced cloud services.
Find out which files are taking up your hard drive space
In such situations, it is vital to know which apps and files are taking up how much space on your device. While the built-in File Explorer can show the size of a file, it does not give an overview of your total storage usage.
Luckily, there are disk management tools like TreeSize that can come in handy. With nothing more than your USB cable, you can find out the complete distribution of used space on your Android device. In this guide, we’ll provide step-by-step instructions on how to use TreeSize to find your Android phone’s storage usage via MTP. FYI, you can also use TreeSize to find used storage space on Android wirelessly.
TreeSize is the disk management tool we will be using for this process. It has both a free and a paid version. The latter can also be used in a 30-day trial period so that you can try out its features. But for our intentions and purposes, even TreeSize Free is good enough.
