If the phone memory is getting full, first check for and remove things you no longer need:
• Text, multimedia, and mail messages
• Contact entries and details
• Apps
• Music, photos, or videos
Instead of removing, you can also move the files to the memory card.
The quality of your memory card may affect the performance of your phone greatly. To get the best

out of your phone, use a fast 4–128GB card by a well-known manufacturer. For more info on memory

Use only compatible memory cards approved for use with this device. Incompatible cards may

damage the card and the device and corrupt data stored on the card.

Tap phone > temporary files > delete. To delete temporary files and other data from just your

browser, tap Internet Explorer settings > delete history.
