Is there a way to clear out the Downloads app?


Recommended Posts

As noted, the stock Downloads app is just a huge list of things I've downloaded to my phone. Is there some way I can clear out these entries on a manual basis? Because there seem to be no such options within the app.

Open the File Manager (assuming your device has it), click on All Files -> Internal Storage -> Downloads. The UI has the ability to single or group-select for deletion, copying or moving - which can be to an external card if you have an SD slot.

If you don't have a file manager there are several at the App Store; ES File Explorer, X-Plore etc.

If you long press to select an item the top menu should change and show a little trash can icon. You should also be able to multi-select after you long-press one item.

 

^^^ Exactly what i discovered yesterday, i'd never even looked in their before and when i did i discovered a large amount of partly downloaded ebooks etc that i had aborted but were still taking up space.
