How to clear memory on Huawei and Honor phones? This question is asked by those whose device has already shown the message “Not enough memory, free up space.” Lack of space on your phone is a serious problem. Faced with it, you will not be able to download large applications, take pictures, or download multimedia. In addition, the efficiency of the device and the response time to tasks depend on the amount of free space. To keep your phone running fast, the RAM needs to be cleaned regularly and the storage space needs to have a couple of gigabytes in reserve.
Types of memory on Android devices
All smartphones contain three types of memory:
- ROM - non-erasable operating system files;
- RAM - data about current processes;
- flash memory.
Read-only Memory - read-only space. This means that the content cannot be modified or deleted. This place contains the operating system - Android on Huawei and Honor. A change block is imposed to prevent incompetent users from unknowingly damaging important components or utilities. If one of the system files is deleted, the entire mechanism fails. You cannot add anything to this place.
The second type is space, with the so-called “random access storage”. This includes all installed software and utilities. The section is responsible for the processes occurring in the device during the launch of downloaded applications. Access is provided for a user without developer rights.
The third type is a place intended for storing data. Here the parameters are set by the phone owner himself, since he is the one who controls all processes. It is possible to place contacts, photos, audio, video and other multimedia components here.

Reasons for lack of free memory
The built-in memory on a Huawei mobile device can be divided into 2 types:
- RAM is memory designed for storing temporary files. If you turn off the power of your smartphone, the RAM will be cleared. In addition, system performance depends on RAM. Probably all smartphone owners have noticed at least once that the smartphone thinks and hangs for a long time before executing the user’s command. This means that the amount of RAM is not enough for the device to operate correctly. To do this you need to clean it. Reasons for lack of RAM: several heavy programs are running; There are a lot of temporary files on the device, many programs are running in the background.
- Internal memory is the memory where information and files of the Huawei smartphone user are stored. The reasons for the lack of such memory are logical - there are a lot of files on the media. You need to remove unnecessary files.
Thus, if everything is relatively clear with the internal memory (open “Files” on the device, manually deleting unnecessary files), then not all users of Huawei mobile devices know about ways to clear RAM.
How to find out memory usage statistics
Load statistics is an indicator that helps determine how much the device is clogged with digital “garbage.” The phone has RAM and storage space. The operational space is responsible for processes, the storage is for the safety of components. If the first space is clogged, the mobile device begins to slow down and become dull. If there is no free storage space, some features are disabled. To be aware of the phone's status and check the load, use the algorithm:
- open the settings option;
- find the game console item (“Play Console”);
- select the application you want to run through verification;
- click “More” or “More”;
- check out the statistics.
In addition, Google Cloud uploads a comprehensive report on memory usage.
How to see used and free memory
When buying a phone, you need to look at how much memory is free on it and how many applications the user can download in the future. To see how much memory is already occupied or free on the device, it is advisable to refer to the settings on your phone:
- We look for “Settings” on the main screen of the phone. As a rule, on all androids, including Honor,
- Open them and look for the “Memory” section in the main menu. Let's go into it;
- All information about the used memory is immediately available to the user. In the same section you can learn about its detailed use;
- In the “Storage and USB drives” section, the user can see all the information about the free memory in the device’s external storage.
If the user has very little free memory on the device, then it will lag, often generate errors, and also have reduced performance.
How to clear Honor and Huawei phone memory manually
If the statistics show “garbage” on your phone, immediately start cleaning it. How to clear the internal memory of a Huawei and Honor phone? The easiest option is manually. This is without using third-party programs to go to the appropriate sections and remove unnecessary components. Since there are many places where unnecessary files accumulate, use the step-by-step guide to clean up Honor or Huawei. The algorithm is suitable for both phones and tablets of this brand.
Removing "garbage" in the browser
The first place that accumulates the most unnecessary components is the mobile browser. Without even knowing it, you are clogging up your cache by visiting different sites. For example, when visiting a bright multimedia source with a bunch of videos and gifs for the first time, the site will take a long time to load, since the phone does not yet know it. On subsequent visits, the device “remembered” the appearance of the page and saved the images in its cache. Therefore, the download will be faster. On the practical side, this function is convenient, as it significantly saves traffic and waiting time. On the memory side, clogged memory is a direct loss, because the cache is a treacherous place. It is not visible, but it takes up a record amount of free space.

- select it;
- Click on the inscription “Clear cache”;
- reboot.
Deleting messages
Small text SMS can also clog up memory in large quantities. They come almost every day from the operator, online stores and other subscribers. SMS mailings are saved by default in the internal memory of the device, and within a year they can completely clog it without any problems. Therefore, it is recommended to remove unnecessary components at least once a week.
To delete messages:
- highlight unnecessary dialogue threads;
- click on the cart icon;
- confirm the action.
Cleaning up unnecessary files
If there are components on your phone that are no longer useful, remove them. These could be old photos or videos. Many people store such files as memory, not knowing that they can be copied to cloud storage and left there. An excellent option for such purposes is Google.
Download Google Drive and register in it. Each client within the Google system is provided with 15 GB of free free space. They can be used for content of any format. You throw your archived items there and delete the copies from your phone.
Uninstalling apps
Applications can also be unnecessary. How many of you have downloaded daily workout software but never opened it? Every third. And there are many examples of applications that “will definitely be needed someday.” Free your phone or tablet from unnecessary burden by dragging unnecessary components to the trash.
Deleting cache
While surfing the web and using applications on your smartphone, temporary files are saved. To prevent them from taking up extra memory, you need to periodically clear the cache. For this:
- open “Smartphone Manager”;
- click on “System optimization”;
- go to the “Advanced” tab;
- open the “Memory” page;
- select the “Cleaning” option;
- after the system performs the analysis, check the box next to the “Cache” line and start cleaning.
If necessary, this procedure can be carried out using third-party programs such as CCleaner or Clean Master. They also allow you to temporarily clear RAM.
Another way to clear memory is described in the article “How to delete applications on Huawei.” By removing unnecessary programs and games, you can significantly free up your smartphone's memory.
How to clear your smartphone's memory using programs
If manual removal is not an option, automated utilities can do everything for you. There are several dozen of these in the Play Market today. According to the operating algorithm, they are similar to each other - they scan all storage facilities, identify clone files, unnecessary elements and viruses. Next comes the removal and optimization process.
Clean Master
An application that is suitable for different devices and operating systems. Its official version on Android can be found on Google Play. Download, install, go through a short login process. In the panel on the main screen, select the type of cleaning - superficial or deep. It is recommended to conduct a deep scan for the first time, as the software will help identify viruses and malware. The advantage of the program is that it is possible to set the automatic run time in the settings.

SD Maid
Another option for cleaning your system is SD Maid. It is also downloaded from Google Play. The unique thing is that SD Maid not only cleans the internal space of a smartphone or tablet, but also checks the memory card for unnecessary components. After checking, the program displays data on how long ago the components were used/opened on the phone. The smart system will advise what is best to delete to optimize the operation of the device.
App Cache Cleaner
From the name it is clear that the central task of App Cache Cleaner is to clear the cache. If more than 7 applications are installed on the phone, then it is cost-effective, because doing it manually regularly is time-consuming. And the automated process does this efficiently and quickly. To download to Android, look for the version in the Play Store. The program is free, but you can purchase a premium package for deep cleaning and without advertising.
Application for managing and clearing memory on Honor 7A
When developing firmware, phone manufacturing companies try to make them as compact and “lightweight” as possible. So that the smartphone works quickly with factory settings and with any amount of memory. Third-party applications expand the functionality of some system programs. And they give you the opportunity to use them with one touch. By downloading the Cleaner app from the Play Market, you can clean your smartphone every day. Deleting everything together - cache, unnecessary folders and files, and running but not used programs.
In Cleaner, you can set up automatic garbage collection for certain days, weeks or months, depending on how often you use your Honor 7A smartphone. The application helps not only clean, but also cool the components of the smartphone if the user begins to notice that the back of the case is warm or hot. Rising temperatures are one of the common problems with all digital devices. Using your phone for a long time causes its parts to heat up. The application is easy to use; you don’t even need step-by-step instructions.
If you continue to use the device in this mode, it may fail with serious damage. The application is also a good file manager. Through it you can find any files that have been downloaded, photos and music.
Clearing the phone's internal memory via a computer
Another way to clear space from unnecessary files is to format the internal memory. The most convenient way to do this is via a PC:
- connect your smartphone to your laptop or computer via a cord;
- open the “My Computer” section;
- select phone;
- click twice;
- go to internal storage;
- right click;
- in the context menu, select “Format”;
- confirm the action.
Clearing memory through Settings
- Go to the Settings app on your Huawei or Honor smartphone. To do this, click on the corresponding shortcut on the home screen or icon in the notification panel.
- Select the "Memory" tab, then click on the "Clear memory" button. Click "Clear" to delete the application cache and clear RAM.
- By clicking on the line “View free memory and cache”, go to the section with detailed information on deleting the cache. If desired, remove the check mark from the desired applications.
- Check the activity of the auto-delete function for unnecessary files generated by the system and applications. Click on the gear icon in the top right corner and slide the slider to activate.
- Deep cleaning will remove unused files from the permanent memory of your mobile device. Select a tab and folder, and then mark files to delete. You can also mark all the files in a folder by clicking the corresponding button at the top of the screen. Click "Delete".
Freeing up internal memory
It's not just applications that can take up internal memory. The device can also save:
- created photos and videos;
- files attached in instant messengers;
- recordings from a voice recorder;
- objects received via Bluetooth or downloaded via the Internet.
When deleting or transferring files (to a flash drive, PC or cloud storage), it is recommended to pay attention to the following folders:
- DCIM;
- Download;
- Media;
- Movies;
- Music;
- Video.
Important! When you delete files from your tablet, they will be lost forever, since there is no recycle bin on the devices.
How often to clean your tablet
There is no need to systematically clean your mobile device, since the “clutter” depends on how you use it. With active use and constant installation of new programs, the device should be cleaned every 3-4 days. The best way to do this is to use a cleaning program.
In rare cases, all the information described above does not lead to the desired result, and the gadget continues to lag. We have to resort to a radical method - returning to factory settings. This action will delete all user data.
To reset all settings, turn off the device, hold the Power key and Volume Up key, select “wipe data/factory reset”. The device will reboot and be completely empty in terms of data, with software pre-installed.

Clearing RAM on the Tablet
Third-party programs allow you to clear RAM. But they only delete files selectively. If you want to do this manually, go to File Explorer. However, be careful because if you accidentally remove something from the system components, you will experience operational difficulties.
Let us add that the loading speed and quality of the device depends on how much disk space is left. The more space, the faster all processes proceed. When there is not enough free space, the system takes longer to boot and an error notification appears constantly.
