How to Free Up Some Storage Space on the LG G3 Using Smart Cleaning

It seems manufacturers are taking notice of the success of third party apps that aim to help you keep your device’s storage as free as possible. Well, LG has, at least. They’ve taken it upon themselves to create an app called Smart Cleaning and include it in the settings of their latest flagship device, the LG G3. This handy little app allows you to delete files that accumulate in the most popular places on a device for these types of things, the temporary files folders, the downloads folder, and the idle apps processes. Simple head into it, tap a few times, and viola, a decent amount of your storage is back where it should be –in the unused section.

Below is how to use Smart Cleaning in a quick and basic step by step tutorial. Give it a try and let us know in the comments below if it was a help to you or not!
