It’s easy to rack up thousands of photos on your phone — screenshots, memes, duplicates, and accidental shots included. A little cleanup goes a long way in making your library more usable and freeing up space.
Where to Start
- Delete duplicates: Use apps like Gemini Photos or Google Files to detect them.
- Clear screenshots and downloads: These often pile up unnoticed.
- Remove obvious rejects: Blurry shots, pocket photos, or near-identical takes.
Organize What You Keep
- Favorite or flag your best shots
- Create albums by event or person
- Consider exporting special images to StorePhotos for long-term use
Tips
- Clean up regularly — once a month is ideal
- Back up before mass-deleting, just in case
- Use cloud services with AI search if manual sorting feels overwhelming
