我们在使用手机时会定期生成大量垃圾和不需要的数据。它占用了不必要的存储空间并阻碍了系统的平稳运行，并显着减慢了系统运行速度。因此(Hence)，了解如何释放空间并删除文件、图像和其他无用的背景细节至关重要。所有Android用户都必须知道如何在 Android 上清空垃圾箱(empty trash on Android)。在Mac(Mac)和Windows等其他操作系统中，开发人员会分配一个特定的位置来收集垃圾。但是，Android中没有此功能。因此，我们编制了一份方法列表，可帮助用户在其 Android 设备上删除垃圾文件和清空垃圾箱。( Therefore, we have compiled a list of the methods which shall help the user to remove junk files and empty trash on their Android device.)
如何在 Android 上删除垃圾文件和清空垃圾箱(How To Remove Junk Files And Empty Trash On Android)
Android上有回收站吗？(Is there a Recycle Bin on Android?)
通常，Android设备的存储空间非常有限，介于 8 GB 到 256 GB 之间(ranging anywhere between 8 GB to 256 GB)。因此，实际上不可能单独使用回收站来收集冗余文件和数据。该文件夹会经常很快地被垃圾文件填满。但是，某些应用程序（例如照片(Photos)）有一个单独的垃圾箱(Trash)文件夹来收集已删除的照片和视频。
Android 上的垃圾箱文件有哪些类型？(What are the types of Trash files on Android?)
Android上有多种类型的垃圾文件，在尝试在 Android 上清空垃圾(empty trash on Android.)之前了解它们之间的区别至关重要。此类文件夹的一种主要类型是缓存文件夹。它是由应用程序自己创建的文件夹。它有助于优化系统并帮助它更快地运行。
除此之外，系统还将包含以前使用的应用程序中可能不再使用的多个文件和文件夹。但是，很难定期跟踪此类文件夹，因此我们往往会忽略它们占用的存储空间量。
此过程中涉及在Android上清空垃圾的步骤非常简单易懂。本活动的第一步是学习如何访问垃圾数据和不必要的文件。系统将生成的垃圾存储在不同应用程序的不同位置。找到它们是一件容易的事。让我们看看垃圾存放在哪里：
1. 邮箱(1. Gmail)
这是能够在有限的时间间隔内生成大量垃圾数据的主要应用程序。这样做的一个主要因素是，我们所有人都订阅了多个邮件列表，并且经常定期收到大量电子邮件。
删除特定邮件后，它不会从系统中永久删除。系统将删除的邮件移动到内置的垃圾文件夹。在永久删除之前，已删除的电子邮件会在垃圾文件夹中保留 30 天。(The deleted emails stay in the trash folder for 30 days before permanent deletion takes place.)
2.谷歌照片(2. Google Photos)
谷歌相册(Google Photos)还拥有一个垃圾文件夹，由开发人员设计，用于在选择删除后将您删除的文件存储 60 天。如果您想立即删除它们，您可以导航到垃圾文件夹并立即删除照片、视频和其他文件。(you can navigate to the trash folder and delete the photos, videos, and other files immediately.)
3. 保管箱(3. Dropbox)
Dropbox是一个基于云的存储应用程序，主要用作存储和管理工具。它提供 2 GB 的空间。因此(Hence)，建议您定期清理Dropbox的垃圾文件夹。(Dropbox)当您尝试在 Android(empty trash on Android)上清空垃圾箱时，此方法非常有效。
4. 回收站(4. Recycle Bin)
帮助您在 Android 上清空垃圾(empty trash on Android)的另一种流行方法是安装第三方应用程序(third-party applications)，这些应用程序旨在清除设备生成的垃圾。
您可以使用这些应用程序来检查和清除设备的存储空间以及(check out and clear both your device’s storage, as well as other storage spaces)SD 卡等其他存储空间。

How To Remove Junk Files And Empty Trash On Android
Is there a Recycle Bin on Android?
Usually, Android devices come with very limited storage, ranging anywhere between 8 GB to 256 GB. Hence, it is not practically possible to have a recycle bin separately to collect redundant files and data. The folder will fill up very often and quickly with trash files. However, some applications like Photos have a separate Trash folder to collect deleted photos and videos.
What are the types of Trash files on Android?
There are multiple types of trash files on Android, and it is crucial to learn the difference between them before trying to empty trash on Android. One primary type of such folders is the cache folder. It is a folder that is created by the application on its own. It helps in the optimization of the system and aids it to run faster.
Apart from this, the system will also contain multiple files and folders from previously used applications that might no longer be in use. However, it is difficult to regularly keep track of such folders, and hence we tend to overlook the amount of storage space they take up.
The steps involved in this process to empty trash on Android are pretty straightforward and simple to understand. The first course of action in this activity is learning how to access junk data and unnecessary files. The system stores the generated trash at different locations in different applications. Locating them is an easy task. Let us see where the trash is stored:
1. Gmail
This is one major application that is capable of generating large quantities of junk data in limited time intervals. One major attribute to this is the fact that all of us subscribe to several mailing lists and frequently receive plenty of emails on a regular basis.
Once you delete a particular mail, it does not get erased from the system permanently. The system moves the deleted mail to the in-built trash folder. The deleted emails stay in the trash folder for 30 days before permanent deletion takes place.
2. Google Photos
Google Photos also possesses a trash folder, designed by developers to store your deleted files for 60 days after choosing to delete them. In case you want to get rid of them immediately, you can navigate to the trash folder and delete the photos, videos, and other files immediately.
3. Dropbox
Dropbox is a cloud-based storage application that mainly functions as a storage as well as a management tool. It offers 2 GB of space. Hence, it is advisable to keep cleaning the trash folder of Dropbox regularly. This method is highly effective when you try to empty trash on Android.
