Files Protect Hub

View your storage as a few clear hubs

Instead of treating your storage as a single full bar, this page treats it as three hubs: on-device files, photos and media, and shared locations. Each can be tuned on its own.

You can use the ideas here as a light checklist when your device starts to feel crowded or when you want to tidy up before installing new apps.

Open storage helper Guided checks across hubs

Device files hub

Downloads · Documents · App data

The device hub is where everyday files tend to pile up first. It includes downloads, saved documents, and files created by apps.

Clear downloads you recognize and no longer need.
Archive documents you want to keep into named folders.

Photos and clips hub

Photos · Videos · Screenshots

Photos and short clips can grow quickly. A short review session from time to time keeps this hub usable.

Remove blurred or duplicate shots.
Mark a few albums as quick access for important events.

Shared and cloud hub

Shared folders · Cloud services

Shared and cloud locations keep files reachable across devices. They also benefit from occasional naming and clean-up.

Confirm shared folders you still want to keep active.
Rename key files so they are easy to find later.
