1. Verify if your phone has low memory.
2. Uninstall unused applications.
We recommend that you uninstall unused applications when possible. It helps free up internal memory and can improve device performance.
Note: Your Samsung Galaxy A10e comes with some pre-installed applications that you can't uninstall.
3. Move applications to the memory card.
By default, your Samsung Galaxy A10e saves all applications to internal memory. To free up internal memory, you can move some applications to the memory card.
Note: Be sure your memory card has enough space to handle the transfer. You can also consider switching to a higher capacity memory card.
4. Clear application cache.
Each application has a cache of temporary files that may be taking up memory. Try to free up space by clearing the application cache from your larger applications first and then continue to clear the cache on the rest of your apps. You may not be able to clear the cache for every application and, rarely, an application may not function as expected afterward.
5. Perform a soft reset.
A soft reset deletes any temporary files and can potentially free up internal memory without erasing any of your content or data.
Note: To optimize device performance, be sure your Samsung Galaxy A10e is running the most recent device software. Check for software updates.
