Android 7.1 brings some integrated tools to handle this all in one spot. To check out what’s here, go to Settings > Storage.
As with previous versions of Android, you’ll see a breakdown of storage used by category.
However, check out a new tool by selecting Manage Storage at the top of the list. You’ll see an option for Smart Storage, which when toggled on will automatically remove backed up photos and videos when your phone's storage is almost full. If you have a Pixel (the first phone with Android 7.1), you get free storage at full resolution.
Finally, you can get more specific details about which apps and other elements of your phone are the main storage culprits.
Also, touch the overflow menu and go directly to Free up space if you know you want to start right away on some purging.
