Freeing up space · Free Up Space wizard and button

What do the green, blue and orange Free Up Space result banners mean?

Short answer: Green means space was freed, blue means items were cleaned but free space didn't change overall, and orange means there was nothing left to clean. Dismiss it with the × button.

The banner sums up the last Free Up Space run in one line:

  • Green — space was freed, with how much and how many files and caches were handled.
  • Blue — files and caches were cleaned, but there was no net change in free space (see why that happens).
  • Orange — already optimised; there was nothing to clean up.

Dismiss it with the × on the right; the next run brings it back. If a run can't reclaim much, a yellow Want more space? panel may follow with suggestions — see the Want more space? panel.
