Shortcuts on the home screen basically do not take up space, but programs and their data, as well as cache. If there is no ROOT in the mobile phone system, there is basically no space unless the software is deleted.

If you are behind ROOT, there are several ways to free up space on your phone.

1. You can use tools to move or install to SD.

2. Create an EXT partition and turn it on. IMG to mount the partition, and the software connected to the data directory will be in EXT.

3. Establish an EXT partition, mount it on the system with LINK2SD, then create a connection to the software and move it to the EXT partition of SD card.

Explanation:

The first method is less damage to the memory card, but the slimming system space can only reduce the size of APK file a little more. Sometimes files such as data DEX are still there, and sometimes the software installed on the SD card can't work normally when the system is started, so it needs to be run manually to start normally.

The third method is the most harmful to the memory card and affects its service life, but it can minimize the space of the mobile phone. All files connected by the program are in EXT partition, so the program can be started directly by booting.

The second method is somewhere in between. The data is generally stored in the memory of the mobile phone, and the others are in the EXT partition, which is faster.
