Google Files
A simple file manager is suitable for those who don't want to install apps from unknown developers. For deleting unnecessary files from memory, the app has a "Cleaning" tab, where you can see what exactly is taking up space, what cache has exceeded 10 GB, and what was recently downloaded.
Extra: a feature to create a secret folder hidden behind a password, convenient file sharing with the environment.
Junk Cleaner
An easy-to-use app with an intuitive interface that presents all deletable elements in one list. Files are organized by categories, starting from uninstalled APKs and ending with blurred photos. You can easily select unnecessary data and delete it.
Extra: sorting files by type and extension, light and dark theme interface.

CCleaner
A mobile analog of the Windows program, which largely replicates Avast Cleanup. It quickly analyzes the device's memory and weighs all files, sorting them by type. Upgrading to the Pro version of the service allows you to clean the cache and schedule optimization.
