Either browsing or surfing the internet, when needed to download a file people do that for sure doesn’t matter if that particular downloaded item/file will remain longer or for the short period of time. But later when you are short of some storage space then that time you need to clear some of your Android storage space, especially those downloaded files which you forget to delete.
Many of the android users don’t know exactly how they can delete those downloads on Android, there are two ways by which you can delete downloads on Android.
By using the Default Download Manager
The initial and first method you should try is by checking the downloaded files on the default download manager of your Android device. From there you can download them.
- Open your Download Manager from the app gallery on your Android device.
- Choose any specific file inside download manager that you are looking forward to deleting.
- Tap on that particular file or select more than one file to delete by tapping on them, now on the header you will see a delete icon. Press the delete icon after selecting the files.
- After pressing the delete icon, your selected download files will get deleted.
This method works only if you downloaded the file when using the default browser of your Android device. If you are using any other browser then for those you need to find that specific location or address which is set to save the downloaded file through that browser. Or you can simply go to another method given below,
