Explanation

Before taking any corrective action (upgrading hardware, removing updates, adding storage), the correct first step is to diagnose where the storage is being consumed. Android's Settings > Storage or app info pages show how much space each app's data and cache occupies. App caches can grow very large over time and are safe to clear. This is a non-destructive diagnostic step that identifies the root cause. Upgrading the device or adding a memory card are solutions, not diagnostic steps. Uninstalling app updates may help in some cases but should only follow diagnosis.
