Can we view "Other Files"? S25 Ultra.

[Firestone_Tire]

Is there something we can do to view what's inside the section thats considered "Other Files" when we check for storage?

Before, people say that its cache files from apps, duplicates of something, and then they offer you applications to try to possibly reduce the storage amount being taken up by something you can't actually view.

I've gone through and cleared out cache for apps, I've deleted information I have access to but it does nothing.

I own a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Has anyone actually had luck with finding the means to reduce the amount of storage that's being used in "Other Files", especially with these newer devices? Please let me know ASAP!

@Firestone_Tire Can you show more of your screenshot listing the types?

The 0B for several of those items does not look normal.

I know what's in the Secure folder and the Other Files thing increased by 2 or so GBs when I moved the data over to secure folder for the first time

Where do i start optimizing to where it lowers my apps being used? I cant pull up profiles either.

Other files also includes trash, app cache (which is different than the phone's cache partition, and need to be emptied individually) and files that cannot be identified (such as downloads without file extensions). It also contains app data. If you want to decrease your used storage space, review your duplicate files and unused apps. Delete apps you no longer use or won't be using for a while (you can always download it again when you need it). It may also contain the hidden ghost files of photos you edited so you can revert to the originals.

You guys keep regurgitating the same answer. Those are able capable of being emptied. App data is found by selecting Apps section in manage storage. None of the data found in the app section relates to what information is being stored in other files to actually delete.

I'm not the one with storage issues. You asked a question, I gave an answer. Just because you don't like the answer doesn't make it not true.

[Firestone_Tire]

I'm not saying your answer is incorrect about how to resolve other issues, but you're not providing the resolution to mine.

[realaud]

You wanted to know what comprised other files.

I've gone through all the things you mentioned and Other Files still exists and im asking how to truly access them to remove them or pinpoint the exact applications that are using this information instead of just deleted everything and restarting.
