On smartphones and computers, data storage is the biggest culprit. The more you use up, the slower your device gets, and running out of space is a royal pain. Here are two places to start to free up copious amounts of storage: - On smartphones, delete your archived podcasts. How often do you revisit a podcast episode after listening to it once? (Probably rarely if ever.) These audio files gobble up an enormous amount of space, so periodically you should purge them. On an iPhone, tap General, then iPhone Storage and select Podcasts. Then choose the episodes you wish to delete. (On Android devices, the steps vary depending on the app you use to stream podcasts, so do a web search on the instructions.) - Delete dated smartphone backups. If you created backup copies of your smartphone data, chances are there are multiple copies, including backups from years ago. You probably only need the latest backup, so delete the older ones.
