I do not use cell phones conventionally; I don't carry a phone, I don't 
normally even turn a phone on. I just now subscribed to this group to 
ask a question, but I haven't read any recent msg threads here.

I have an old cellphone w/ Android 6 and no cell plan which I use for 
various purposes via wifi, camera, & music. I have a newer tablet phone 
which does have a plan which I use occasionally via wifi.

I am fairly ignorant of navigating my old cellphone's features, which is 
why I'm here now.

Whenever I start the phone, I'm informed about how low the 8G internal 
storage is. I only recently changed the settings to use the 32G SD card 
by default instead of internal.

My problem is that I can't find a way to 'get rid of' any data in 
internal storage that is causing my low storage condition.

The online advice I've found hasn't been helpful to me.
