Free phones tip: Monthly: empty the trash, check storage (step 9 of 9 from "Clean Up 10 GB in 10 Minutes").
Set a recurring reminder — first of the month, two minutes. Open Storage, empty photo trash, clear browser cache. These three actions prevent the slow creep back to full.
Pass criteria: 10 GB freed, photo backup confirmed, WhatsApp auto-download off for video, and you can explain where the space went. If your phone is still full, the problem is likely the Photos library itself — consider paying for the next cloud tier rather than fighting physics.
Pro tip: The 'Storage Almost Full' warning should never surprise you again. If it does, you skipped the monthly check.
