Freeing up storage space
As you use HTC One X10, you'll accumulate data and fill its storage capacity over time. Here are
some tips on how to free up phone storage space.
Manage photos and videos
§
After taking continuous camera shots, keep only the best shot. Discard the rest, if you don't
need them.
§
After editing a photo or trimming a video, the original file is kept. Delete original files or
move them elsewhere, such as to your computer.
§
If you're only sending videos through MMS, use a lower resolution. Hi-res video takes up
more space.
§
RAW image files take up a lot of storage space. It's recommended to use a storage card as the
default storage for photos and videos. If your storage card is running low on space, consider
moving RAW image files to your computer.
Remove unused themes
Themes can quickly consume up storage space because themes can include images, sounds and
icons. Remove themes you're not using. See
Back up data and files
Keep only the most recent data in your apps and files that you often need to use. You can back up
your other data and files. For some tips, see
Ways of backing up files, data, and settings
Remove or disable apps
Uninstall apps that you've downloaded if no longer need them. See
Preinstalled apps can be disabled when you're not using them. See
Move apps to the storage card

Types of storage
Starting from Android 6.0, there have been some changes on how and where downloaded apps and
their data can be stored.

messages, and cached data from the apps. You can also install apps that you've downloaded and
capture photos, videos, and screenshots to this storage.
