Pro tip: Many apps store data locally, and you can clear up a ton of space by deleting and reinstalling it. How much space does it use? You can filter apps by how big they are, too.Delete anything you haven’t touched in months. When was the last time you used it? Filter your apps by when you last opened them.Does your phone have a built-in way to do it? I always remind people not to download a flashlight app, PDF viewer, or QR code scanner.Here are a few easy rules of thumb I follow when deleting apps: I had time to clear out all the apps I never use anymore. Recently I was stuck on a flight with no Wi-Fi. There’s no right or wrong answer for what to remove, but if an app looks unfamiliar, get rid of it.

NOTE: This does not delete your account with that app the app may request access to your Google account again the next time you open it. Select Remove Access and confirm your selection.You’ll see extra info like the date you installed the app and what it can access.


The more apps that have access to your device, the more exposed you are. You’re in a rush, so you allow a reservation-booking service access to your Google calendar.
