How Do I Delete Duplicate Photos on Huawei?

To delete duplicate photos on your Huawei phone, you typically use a built-in cleanup feature found within your phone's storage management settings or a dedicated optimizer app. On the Cleanup screen, touch Duplicate files , then select unwanted files to delete them.

Locating the Cleanup Feature

Huawei phones often have a pre-installed application or system setting designed to optimize performance and free up storage space. This feature is usually called "Optimizer," "Phone Manager," or found within the "Storage" settings.

Here's a general path to find the cleanup feature:

• Open the Settings app.
• Look for Storage or Memory.
• Within Storage, you might find an option like Cleanup or Storage cleaner.
• Alternatively, open the Optimizer or Phone Manager app directly from your app drawer.
• Look for a Clean up or Storage cleanup section within this app.

Step-by-Step Guide to Deleting Duplicates

Once you have accessed the cleanup function, the process for finding and deleting duplicate files, including photos, is straightforward as described in the reference:

1. Navigate to the main Cleanup screen.
2. Look for a category or option specifically labeled Duplicate files. Touch this option.
3. The phone will scan and display files it identifies as duplicates. This list typically includes photos, videos, documents, and other file types.
4. Review the list of duplicate files presented.
5. Select unwanted files to delete them. Be careful to keep the originals you want to save. The phone often highlights which files are suggested for deletion (usually the copies).
6. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

This process helps free up significant storage space by removing redundant copies of your pictures.

Why Delete Duplicate Photos?

• Save Storage Space: Duplicate photos unnecessarily consume valuable storage on your device.
• Organize Your Gallery: A clutter-free gallery makes it easier to find the photos you want.
• Improve Performance: While not a major factor, reducing the total number of files can sometimes contribute slightly to faster media scanning and app performance.

By utilizing the built-in cleanup tool on your Huawei device and specifically targeting Duplicate files from the Cleanup screen, you can efficiently identify and select unwanted files to delete them, keeping your photo gallery tidy and saving storage space.
