Delete downloaded files on nexus 7

All the steps are pretty simple and easy to follow, so even if you are not an experienced Android users you will be able to handle them all. In many situations, restarting a smartphone or tablet turns out to be the most effective solution for all kinds of problems. Because once you restart your device, it will kill the processes and apps that are currently running, it will free up the memory on your tablet, so in a way it will give your device a fresh start which is often all your tablet really needs.

Press and hold the Power button and when the menu shows up tap on Restart followed by OK. This can be pretty helpful for a very simple reason. If tons of apps are open, that will affect the memory of and thus, your device will be slow. Go to Settings, tap on Apps, find the apps you are not using and wish to close, tap on the application and then click Force stop. It is a simple thing to do, and it can make a huge difference. Keep in mind the pre-installed apps cannot be removed. Go to Settings, tap on Apps, tap on the application you want to delete and tap Uninstall.

Backup the files photos, videos, movies, TV shows, and so on… or move them to your computer using the USB Cable, and then delete them from your device. This time, tap Cached data and select OK from the dialog box.

Cache is data that has been stored by your apps, so this one will build back up over time as you continue to use your phone. Come back to this screen from time to time to keep this buildup under control. Amongst the biggest storage hogs are our own personal photos and videos. Of course, we don't want to lose these memories, so we can't outright delete them, but we can store them remotely using the Google Photos app.

This will let us delete the pictures and video from our phones, but still have access to them. What's more, Photos stores these pictures at their full resolution unlike other apps I'm looking at you, Facebook. First, fire up the Photos app. If you haven't already done so, it will prompt you to sign in to your Google account. Do that, and you will be greeted with an option to back up your photos. Hit Turn On to enable this functionality, and your photos will begin to sync to Google's servers.

If you've declined this option in the past, it's not too late. You can simply hit the three-dot menu icon, then tap Settings and select Auto Backup. On this screen, use the toggle at the top-right to enable the service. Once your photos have been successfully backed up, the cloud icon at the bottom of each picture will have filled in. Now that your photos are stored remotely, they no longer need to be taking up space on your device.

Delete them by sliding out the side navigation menu on the left, then selecting Folders. From here, long press pictures to select them, then tap the delete icon at the top. Any time you take a photo or screenshot, the camera app automatically creates a smaller version of this picture to be used as a thumbnail in your gallery app. Unfortunately, these thumbnails take up space, and if you've taken many photos over the course of owning your device, they can begin to pile up.

What's worse is that these thumbnails don't go away, even after you've deleted the original photos. But you can easily clean these up using your favorite file browser. I'm using Sliding Explorer here, which is a free app available on Google Play. In here, you'll find a folder named. Long-press this folder, then hit the Delete icon to remove it. In the cmd window, type fastboot oem unlock. This may void your warranty!! By FredericM Follow.

Google has the images of all the nexus devices on their server. If you already have the android SDK files, skip this step. Go to the folder with the file flash-all.
