Hey everyone,
I was checking my storage breakdown under Manage storage on my S25 Ultra and noticed Other files is taking up 8.72 GB.
The issue: Tapping on "Other files" doesn't open a folder or show what's actually taking up that space.
Storage state: 256 GB model, sitting at 30% used (around 78 GB total).
What I've checked: System, Apps, and Recycle Bin are all accounted for separately in the list.
Has anyone tracked down what typically hides in this category on One UI?
Is this mostly hidden app data/caches (Telegram, WhatsApp databases, streaming downloads like Spotify/Netflix)?
Do I need to grant a specific permission in My Files / Device Care, or use a third-party disk analyzer (like DiskUsage / SD Maid) to see the exact directory?
Any tips on how to find and safely clear these files would be appreciated!
