I freed gigabytes on my Android phone by deleting what Files never showed me

One of the things that I do, when I am not doom-scrolling past my social media feed or sitting in front of my laptop, is clear junk files from my phone. My Samsung phone was down to its last 4GB, and no amount of clearing the gallery or uninstalling apps made the low storage warning go away. Turned out it wasn’t the usual files eating up the space, and once I dug deep, there were a few issues that were the bigger storage eaters than my photos.
