In the framework of this article, the basic ways of how to clear the memory on the “Android” are described. Their strengths and weaknesses are indicated, on the basis of which it is concluded that which method is best used in practice. Unlike Windows applications, which are automatically deleted from PC memory when closed, Android programs do not stop even after closing, and occupy part of this precious resource of a computing device. Therefore, without this operation it is difficult to imagine full-fledged work on a smartphone or tablet.
Solutions
There are two main ways to solve the question of how to clear memory on Android. The first of them is to use the tools of the operating system itself, and the second is specialized utilities. The application of each of them will be given later. Among third-party developments, Task Killer and Clean Master will be considered.
Android Tools
The main and most common way to clear memory is to use the tools of the operating system itself. Its main advantage is that there is no need to install additional third-party software. Only now cleaning is superficial. That is, you can stop only those processes that have been started by the user. But if some service works in stealth mode, then nothing will work. Therefore, it is rational for Android to perform such an operation only in those cases when it is urgent to clean the device’s memory and other means are not available. The execution algorithm of this method is as follows:
- Hold down the "Menu" button and hold it until a list of tasks launched by the user appears.
- Those applications that need to be stopped, move the finger to the right or left. After that, they should disappear from this list.
Similarly, you can answer the question of how to clean the computer’s RAM using Windows. To do this, go to the "Start", then - in the "Control Panel". In the window that opens, select the “Administration” shortcut and run this utility. In the window that opens, there will be a complete list of services that use RAM. Those that we do not need, we stop, transferring them from the "Works" to "Stopped" mode.
Task killer
One of the most popular applications for performing this operation (we solve the issue of how to clear memory on Android) is the Advanced Task Killer. Among its advantages, it can be noted that it is possible to stop all tasks, including those launched by the operating system itself. There is also a free version of this program. It comes with a Lite index. But there is also a paid modification with the designation Pro. Among its minuses is the fact that you need to manually set the checkboxes in front of those tasks that should be removed from RAM. The procedure for using this utility is as follows:
- We connect a smartphone or tablet to the Internet using Wi-Fi or 3G.
- We are registered in the Play Market system (if you do not already have such an account).
- In the green search bar (located at the top of the screen), enter the Task Killer search query and click "find."
- In the list that appears, we find the Advanced Task Killer (opposite it should be the Android logo with a red cross in the center).
- Download it and install it. After that you need to close all the windows.
- Go to the application menu, find this utility and run it.
- In the window that opens, there will be a list of all possible tasks on this device. On the contrary, those that need to be deleted from memory, check the box and click "clear".
Another plus of this utility is the ability to select those services that will be deleted from such a resource of a computing device as RAM. “Android” will begin to work more smoothly, and it will be possible to launch other applications.
Clean master
Another program of this class is Clean Master. The installation procedure is the same as that of Task Killer. Therefore, it makes no sense to focus on it. But after installation, the procedure is as follows:
- We go into the application and find the shortcut "Accelerator" (it shows a broom in a blue circle).
- We click on it and run this utility. Moreover, "circles" will begin to move around him.
- At the end, a message appears on the left about the number of megabytes freed. After that, this operation will be completed.
An indisputable plus of this program is a minimal participation in the user cleaning process. Minus - there is no way to selectively stop the service or application. In addition, Clean Master allows you to clear the system memory on Android. The procedure for performing this operation is similar to the previous one, only with the difference that you need to find the Clean Master icon instead of the Accelerator label (it shows a broom in a white circle). After its launch, go to the "Protection and personal data" field. After its discovery, the most rational methods for cleaning the system memory of a smartphone or tablet will be offered.
In the framework of this article, various ways of how to clear memory on an “Android” have been described. The first of them is the most rational to use in cases where the memory is full, but such a utility is not at hand. The most advanced tool for solving this problem is Task Killer. It allows you to delete exactly those services and tasks that you need. This utility is best suited for advanced users. But for most owners of smartphones and tablets, it would be better to turn their attention to Clean Master. Minimal user participation - and all unnecessary programs and applications will be stopped. In addition, it can also be used to clear system memory.
Instruction manual
Clean up the system disk from temporary files. To do this, call the main menu by pressing the "Start" button, and go to the "All Programs" item. Expand the "Accessories" link and launch the "Windows Explorer" application. Go to drive_name: \\ Documents and Settings \\ username \\ LocalSettings \\ Temp - for Windows XP or drive_name: \\ Users \\ username \\ AppData \\ Local \\ Temp - for Windows 7
and delete the entire contents of the Temp folder.
Reduce Windows system files. To do this, find the file called pagefile.sys in the root section of the system volume, which is a swap file, and either reduce it or move it to another volume. Also delete the file named hiberfil.sys, which is used to save the state of the computer's memory when entering hibernation or sleep mode.
Press the function keys Ctrl, Alt and Del at the same time to launch the task manager utility and go to the "Processes" tab of the program dialog box that opens. Identify program modules that use a large amount of memory, and use the "End Process" button.
Return to the main Start menu and go to the Run dialog in order to remove unnecessary applications that use a large amount of memory from the startup directory. Type msconfig in the "Open" line and confirm the completion of the selected action by clicking OK. Select "Startup" in the menu that opens and uncheck the boxes in the fields of unnecessary applications. Confirm the save by clicking OK.
Use the standard system disk wipe function. To do this, call the properties dialog of the desired volume and specify the "Disk Cleanup" command. Confirm the selected action by clicking OK.
One of the main characteristics of a computer is its RAM. The more it is, the more programs you can run at the same time. Also, RAM plays a very important role for video games and the overall speed of the PC. If it is not enough, then the games, if they load, will greatly slow down. But the fact is that a significant part of the system memory can be freed, thereby speeding up the computer.
You will need
- - A computer;
- - TuneUp Utilities program.
Instruction manual
As soon as you turn on the computer, the system processes that are needed for the operating system to work are loaded into RAM. Also, immediately after starting the program, it is loaded into RAM. But the fact is that along with turning on the computer, programs that the user does not even know about (PC monitoring programs, etc.) can be automatically loaded. Meanwhile, they work and can occupy a considerable part of the computer's RAM. By disabling them, you can free up system memory.
For subsequent actions, you will need the TuneUp Utilities program. Download it from the Internet and install. Launch the app. Wait for the computer to scan. After that, you will be taken to the main menu of the program.
In the main menu, go to the "System Optimization" tab, and then select the "Disable Autostart Programs" function. In the next window, check the "Enable program rating" box. A window appears with a list of programs that start when the PC is turned on. The bottom section is called “Necessary startup programs.” Programs from this section do not need to be touched, since they ensure the stability and security of the computer.
How to clear system memory on Lenovo
During the use of the Lenovo device, there is a gradual accumulation of all kinds of files, various programs and applications, and the appearance of the window “Memory full” is inevitable. This greatly inhibits the functionality of the Android OS.
So, after almost a month of active use of the smartphone, the moment will come to free up memory. Naturally, the easiest way to solve this problem is to remove unnecessary programs. You can clean your device by contacting Lenovo phone service or by yourself using our cleaning instructions.
Clear internal phone memory
Just go to a special explorer on your device, and through it, select the category of files you need. After you find the files and utilities you do not need, send them to the trash and the memory is freed again! True, if you delete an important program, then you can restore it only if you have Root access.
Transfer data to an SD card
In addition, you can transfer some applications to the SD card. To do this, go to "Settings", click on the image with the application image and click on the "Transfer to card" button. True, this helps only when you are not working on a system program in the android, and a card is required.
Using special applications
On the other hand, almost always the user turns to special programs for cleaning memory for help. Some of them require Root rights, and some are paid, but these utilities greatly simplify the process of cleaning memory. For example, for smartphones Lenovo Smart Booster PRO is ideal. This program allows you to clear the internal, external and, importantly, system memory.
You can set automatic cleaning of the smartphone or manually select the programs you need.
You can freely control the process of piling up files and clean the system memory if necessary.
By the way, even if you did not manage to achieve the desired result even while deleting all the extra files and programs, and the amount of memory has not changed at all, then it may be a virus on your device. In this case, you need to scan the device and remove all the found faults.

It is required:
1. The rights of the root.
2. Titanium Backup
3. File manager, for example Total Commander for Android.
Instruction:
1. With the help of Titanium, when the automatic mode starts, the system is cleared of “garbage”.

Another way to solve the problem of memory overflow Xperia
I also had the same nonsense - "not enough memory" on Ixperia. I naturally transferred all applications to the memory card, except for the browser. But the problem was repeated, again there was not enough memory. And here's what is amazing, transferred the Opera and it worked, while there are no problems.
The Google Chrom browser also clogs up system memory a lot with its data. Using it on a Lenovo s660 - dpi phone is simply not realistic and not possible, it might be better in new versions. In the meantime, it is better to remove it or replace it with another browser or use the built-in.
Replacing the "internal drive" and "microSD" sections
To coordinate the situation with a lack of memory, there is such a way: Replacing the "internal drive" and "microSD". What does it give? The system should perceive the SD card as internal by default, and internal as SD.
Video review: How to swap memory Android. Remapping Android memory.
To do this, you must have root privileges on the phone and download the File Manager Root Explorer Next, we act on the points:
Open root explorer, go to the / system / etc folder, press "RW rights" on top, open the editor with the file vold.fstab
There are 2 lines (without the # sign at the beginning):
dev_mount sdcard / mnt / sdcard emmc @ fat /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.0/mmc_host
dev_mount sdcard / mnt / sdcard2 auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.1/mmc_host
They must be brought to the form:
dev_mount sdcard / mnt / sdcard2 emmc @ fat /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.0/mmc_host
dev_mount sdcard / mnt / sdcard auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.1/mmc_host
That is, in one place we erase the deuce, and in another - on the contrary, we add it.
We save the file, turn off the device, ALWAYS pull out and insert the battery.
That's all! Now in the device the amount of internal memory (USB drive) is equal to the volume of your micro SD card!
After receiving the root and doing this simple fraud, I got what I wanted, after the reboot, the internal drive became 31 GB, the external memory card became 4 GB, but after the reboot he writes "SD card is not working, format it." (Just having I mean the internal drive) Well, I formatted it ... (idiot) ... after the phone rebooted and did not turn on anymore. I reacted to the computer, with the volume held up and the power button, but the Windows 7 system identified it as an input device.
Therefore, this method can lead to damage to the phone phone Lenovo vibe x2 - dpi, without the possibility of recovery.
Solving the problem through flashing to the dx nominal core
I have iksperia play and only 400 meters of internal memory and it was hard to fight. After six months of use, the message "there is not enough memory in the phone" constantly popped up and, in addition, the phone slowed down. I got root rights, unlocked the bootloader, installed the titanium and epp2sd and started transferring everything to the card and deleting it through the titanium, what I don’t need, well, like Google Talks and other nonsense. As a result, it became 100 meters of internal memory, was pleased. But not for long, after a couple of months the same trouble, because after receiving the root new opportunities appeared, and special programs are installed only on the internal memory. But this time there was nothing to delete and transfer! I installed the program sd maid, but I didn’t see much of it, maybe I cleared it somewhere a couple of meters and then - the bookmarks in the reader disappeared and some photos were deleted, the program didn’t help me, the memory remained 35 meters and the same old kind inscription eyes. I decided not to pay attention to her. And somehow I asked for a new dx nominal core, people spoke positively about it, and turning on the device did not find a message about a lack of memory, climbed into the application manager, and there it’s free 275 meters))) I’ve already gone nuts! Well, I’ve been living for several months, now 250 meters are free.
Delete thumbnails folder
Go into the DCIM folder and look at the file size in it thumbnailsIf it is large, then it must be deleted along with the folder of the same name. But after deleting the folder, this file will appear again and will increase in size over time. To solve this problem, create an empty .thumbnails file, the folder will cease to be created.
And another way to solve this problem. There is such a folder in the phone system log_other_mode, there are some files in it, copy them to some folder on a flash card, just in case. And from the log_other_mode folder, delete everything under a clean one.
Solving the problem with Lakipatcher
Luckypatcher - This is a patcher for mobile applications and games based on Android. Launching this launcher, you can use free games from the Play Store or play without viewing ads. But this program also solves the problem of "lack of memory." If you configure it to delete a file from the system odexwhich reappears after some time. That problem messages will not be.
It is also noticed that the Navitel A705 navigator constantly eats up the internal memory of the device. This program leaves unnecessary data in the memory after its operation, which are located at the address data \\ gps \\ log. If you delete the log folder along this path, then everything is restored. But constantly deleting logs manually is not convenient. For these purposes, you can use the Tasker application. Download it and configure, recursively, to delete the data \\ gps \\ log directory, for example, after each system reboot. In this way, it is possible to automatically free memory automatically from those logs that the system cleaners do not reach.
And also, look in the directory in the data \\ folder, there is a folder with logs there. For example, there are many logs with the name - error. Try to delete them, but with such manipulations do not forget to backup. You can do this, for example, using Root Explorer.
Tip: In the data folder, you must first determine the largest folder and most likely there is all the "garbage" in it.
It is also worth looking at the data \\ local mp directory, in it you can find files with the extension .rm Over time, they accumulate there a lot and they must be periodically cleaned.

Clearing memory through Disk Usage without using root privileges
Disk usage - A universal file manager through which it is convenient to search for problem folders and delete them. Disk Usage can be downloaded through play.market, do it and analyze the sections of the phone, you need to understand exactly where there is not enough memory.
