    Got a warning (after my 10.3.3 update) that my device was low on disk space and I need to clean stuff up. Question is HOW and WHAT?
    If I plug my phone into my computer, it says I only have 2.77GB free on my device, which I think is consistent with what the phone says.

    But if I look at all the visible folders (and I have my file explorer set to show hidden and system files) it says it is only taking up ~350MB.
    Link says I have ~10GB free, which I think is combining free space from SD card and Device.
    I don't have a crazy amount of apps installed, it's pretty much the same as my Z10 which does not give me this warning.

    Are there temp files somewhere I can blow away?

    Sure, I guess I could do that, but if I'm going that route, I could also use Term48 and do an rm -fr /
    Big trick is figuring out what to blow away and where it is hidden.

    A bit of searching around and I can do better:
    Go to Settings->Storage and Access
    there you can see what is eating up the disk space. Perhaps not surprisingly only a handful of games will eat up a ton of memory. I wonder why I can't install to SD card?

    I had that for my Z30. I had to remove most of my apps to get it to upgrade. I did that after a bunch of other cleaning. Now that the upgrade is done I have over 3 Gb available again! Even during the upgrade it was complaining about space being low. Not sure what the upgrade needs all of that space for during the process but it definitely isn't very well designed.

    I use Cache Cleaner from App World on my Q10. Works beautifully.

    I'm not convinced that app actually does anything. I have noticed no difference after using it.
