While managing storage space on our PCs, most of us only look for apps we haven't touched in days, which makes sense. But that doesn't mean you should ignore the apps you use daily. When I checked the apps menu on my PC, I found innocent-looking apps like WhatsApp, Slack, Spotify, Adobe Acrobat, and Outlook using up gigabytes of storage. Most of this was down to the cache they’d built up over time.

Whenever your phone starts running low on storage, the first instinct is usually to delete unwanted apps and photos. But honestly, after a point, that’s just not an option. The next best move is to offload some of the data to the cloud, but that takes time and comes with a recurring fee. I wasn't keen on either option, so I tried something else. I went with a good old USB flash drive for my phone, and it's solved my storage problem for good.
