1. CCleaner
CCleaner is a popular PC and Mac cleaning software which is also available for Android. It lets you clean unnecessary junk from your phone, including app cache, download folders, browser history, clipboard content, and more.
The app lets you uninstall unused applications in bulk. Besides, the Storage Analyzer feature gives you a better idea of how space is being used on your Android phone.
There’s also a system monitoring tool to monitor phone’s temperature alongside RAM and CPU used by installed applications. CCleaner is free to use but contains ads which can be removed by upgrading to Pro version.

2. Norton Clean
Developed by the globally trusted security software provider, Norton Clean lets you clean residual cache files often left by uninstalled apps, unnecessary junk files, as well as obsolete Android Packages on the phone’s storage.
In addition, Norton also identifies the junk-creating behavior of installed applications to clean residual and temporary files efficiently. It even lets you identify and remove apps you rarely use, helping to reduce clutter and reclaiming memory to store new apps and media.

SD Maid is one of the most in-depth storage cleaning apps you’ll find in the market. Notably, besides the usual cache and residue, it lets you clear logs, crash reports, and other files created by the system.
You can also remove unnecessary databases and expendable files. Not only that, but there’s also a dedicated option to find duplicate pictures, music, or documents, independent of name or location.
While SD Maid is entirely ad-free, buying the Pro version unlocks additional features such as automatic cleaning.
