Deleting WhatsApp chats, storage still full.
Not a bug.
WhatsApp intentionally saves all photos/videos in 4 hidden folders.
I thought it was clean, turns out still stuck with 14.7GB.
Here's how to clean it:
iPhone user?
Gak ada file manager, tapi caranya sama:
WhatsApp → Settings → Storage
→ Review and Delete Items
Terus
Settings → Chats → Save to Camera Roll → OFF
FOLDER #4 : Status orang (yang paling ngumpet)
File Manager → WhatsApp → Media → .Statuses
Folder ini gak keliatan di galeri.
Isinya semua story WA yang pernah lo liat.
Pilih semua → Delete.
Gue dapet 1,6GB.
FOLDER #3 : Old Database (Android)
Open File Manager
→ Internal Storage → WhatsApp → Databases
Delete all msgstore-2024-xx.db files
KEEP ONLY 1 most recent file.
Each file 300-500MB.
I deleted 7 files = 2.8GB
FOLDER #2: Media from chats that have been deleted
Back to Manage Storage
→ select each large chat
DON'T press 'Select All'.
Select only 'Photos' and 'Videos'
→ delete
The chat itself remains, but the media is gone.
I got 4.1GB.
FOLDER #1 : Forwarded Many Times
On the same page
→ scroll to 'Larger than 5MB'
Delete all forwarded videos.
Then tap 'Forwarded Many Times'
I got 6.2GB from here.
It's just family group videos.
Check the source first.
WhatsApp → Settings → Storage and Data
→ Manage Storage
Look at the number at the very top.
Mine: 18.3GB
even though important chats are only 2GB.
Never try to test good people
Because good people are like mercury. When you hit them. they will not break, but they just slip away from your life silently.
मन !!!
एक सुंदर शब्द है
मन के आगे "न" लगाओ तो "नमन" हो जाता है। और यदि मन के पीछे "न" लगाओ तो "मनन" हो जाता है।
जीवन में "नमन" और "मनन" करते रहेंगे
तो जीवन की "समस्याएं" समाप्त हो जाएंगी
