so this is the latest generation fire TV stick from Amazon now although it does
have a much faster processor it has the 1.5GB ddr4 memory
unfortunately storage wise we are still limited to 8 gigabytes of storage and as
we know as soon as we install a couple of apks maybe download a few things that
space does get eaten up very very quickly now what can we do to address
that well in this video today I'll be showing you how you can install a single
apk actually it's three but that the main apk is a single apk which will
manage all of the storage on your device so not only can you delete the cache at
leat temporary files you can also find lots of other things are stuck on your
device now free up a lot more space so it all of that being said let's get
started
sampling my demonstration on the latest generation fire stick from Amazon but as
previously mentioned you can run these steps on any of the other Amazon devices
including the fire TVs the previous generation fire TV sticks but also you
can fold these steps on any other Android device for example your Android
streaming box your Android phone your Android tablet as long as your device
runs Android you can follow all of these steps and reclaim the space on your
device okay so the first thing we need to do on our fire stick is just go to
settings and go to Fite TV or your device and just make sure these two
options on the developer options are set to on so double check the set to on and
then you can back out of that once you've enabled those options we now need
to open up an application called download or if you're doing this on an
Android phone or Android tablet you can type this address into a browser like
Firefox or Chrome born of fire snake open up downloader let's now navigate to
this URL which is HTTP colon four slash four slash bit and Oly four /td UK
that's me four K clean so once again that's HTTP
colon 4 / 4 / bit door ly 4 / TD UK 4 k clean let's type that in and click on go
or press the play button on your remote once you get to this page you'll see 3
files that you can access and once again guys if you don't see any files here
that means you've got javascript disabled on your download and the way we
enable that is if you press the options key on your remote to one of the three
lines and you'll see the option here mine says disabled because mine's are
enabled but for you if you don't see the Falls option here we'll say enable
JavaScript and reload page so click on that the page will then reload with
JavaScript enabled and then you'll be able to see the falls okay so the first
thing we need to do is download the mouse toggle as we know on the latest
generation of fire TV stick the newest mask toggle doesn't actually work so you
do have to download an older version so the version that does work is mask
toggle version 106 so download that install that and when you first start it
up you'll notice that the states will say starting so here you can do two
things are they just tried double pressing the play
button straight away like I'm gonna do now now we can see the mouse toggle is
worked for me straight away if it doesn't work for you as you can see here
go back into your settings and device and under ADB turn that off for a second
and then turn it back on once you've done that come back into Mouse toggle
this will still say starting but double press the play button and if you see
that's now working so once you've confirmed that the mouse toggle is
working let's go back to download ah the next thing for you to install is a set
orientation apk so this apk does this for applications are normally designed
for cell phones so when you start the application on your forest stick you'll
notice how it looks really really stretched and the reason for that is is
the application still running in portrait mode so we need to flip it into
landscape mode let me just install that as well so
click on that click on the green download button and then click on
install
ok let's click on open and we can see here by default is set to disabled which
means it's not gonna effect any orientation of any applications what we
need to do is click on this arrow here and where it says disabled if you click
on it again would select and we can now choose landscape
this means the apps that were previously trying to run in portrait mode will now
be forced to run in landscape mode so that should now be formatted correctly
so leave that as landscape and click on OK
ok so we install the mouse toggle and confirm that's working and we can also
confirm it's working here by double pressing play button there it is okay so
we've confirmed that the mouse table is working we've installed a set
orientation and we've started set orientation and we set that to landscape
so the last thing we need to do is actually install the updated version of
clean master which does work on the latest forecast stick so let's click on
that now and let's click on the green download button ok when you see this
let's click on install ok let's not click on open let's click on done first
this is just so we can go back in to download and delete this apk just so we
can get that space back I actually know let's leave this apk because I want to
show you one of the great features about clean master is is that it finds
redundant apks on your system and then allows you to clean them so so
technically now because we've install this apk there's no need for us to
actually keep respond the great things that clean
master does is that it will scan your system and find these kind of
installation files which you don't need anymore so just leave this as is let's
press the HOME key on the remote and let's now start up the clean master so
in case you don't know the way you bring up your apps library is if you hold down
the home button on the remote and click on apps now let's go to the bottom of
this list by pressing left and here is new apk there so we can leave it there
or we're gonna bring it to the top of your list press the options key on that
and select move to front ok so there's a new apk on the top left there let's
start that up so as mentioned this does need the mouse toggle so let me now
bring that up by double pressing the play button there is up there
let's now click on start ok says telling me right now that 79 percent of my
storage is used which is a quite high amount so your the main section for junk
files which we'll look at in a second you do also have a Tools menu which also
show you at the end where you can do other things like you know remove your
applications that you're not using and some of the good things like that and
this is if you want to log in so we can ignore that for now so the main thing
you want to look at when you want to manage your space is the junk file
section so let's go to that now by double pressing the play button and
let's click on junk Falls case is asking please go on access so let's click on
that there's something you have to do just the first time you open up this
application but once you go into access you won't have to do that again so this
is now doing the deep scan and telling you all the stuff that you could
potentially remove on your system cognitive scan is just finished and it's
telling me that there's 916 megabytes of data that could safely remove this is
good unless let's bring up the virtual mass again now if you ever want to
scroll with the virtual mouse the way you do that is if you press the forward
key on the remote so we can see that's now scrolling down I'm gonna scroll back
up you can press the options key or the context key says press that so that's
basically how you scroll up and down using the virtual mouse okay so the
first thing we have in the list is the system cache now now the system cache if
your divorce is only a couple of weeks old like mine is I would actually
personally leave the unpick because your system cache is something that doesn't
need to be there and if you do remove it the next time you restart it will
actually repopulate that but in my case because my device is very new I'm going
to leave that on tick but if your device is more than a month or
then it's always good to give it a fresh start and make sure this is ticked for
you okay so here we got some odd junk so I'm gonna leave that ticked let's scroll
further down now here this is the key thing cause we got obsolete apk files so
this is basically apk files are downloaded maybe through download or
maybe through four linked of now installers apks so there's no reason for
me to actually keep those installation false so this is gonna leave those
ticked by default we can see it guys on my system but actually have many things
installed because my device is only a week or so old but but in your system
you probably have lots of different things you can select so just double
check and make sure you don't need them and then go right to the bottom and
click on clear junk this will now automatically clear out those files and
give you all of that space back ok so we've now cleared out those junk files
let me show you what's inside the Tools menu so to get to that we don't actually
need to use a mouse toggle we can just press the right on the remote now take
out this menu so the main things we got here actually at the bottom so we just
scroll down so you got your app manager you got your space cleaner and you got
your photo cleaner so the application manager will allow you to uninstall
applications that you've got on your device so if you don't go through the
normal menu of installing applications you can go into this I never concealed
things I've got installed so let's say for example I want to remove this thing
over here I can click on that go down to the bottom click on uninstall and click
on OK and click OK again that's now been uninstalled the next thing we have in
the list is space cleaner so let's click on that now now the a preset is
interesting feature so as we know when install applications any of your
personal settings and you have the configuration any of your profiles all
of that gets stored in the application data or the application cache so if you
want to reset the application back to its defaults all you need to do is go
into your settings and delete the updater and now basically reset the
application back to factory defaults now over time lots of applications do end up
having very very large application caches so it can do it clean master is
if you go to clear data but this will actually show you all the applications
you have installed and exactly how much data they're using in their app
- for example here we can see that silk browser is using one hundred eighty five
Meg that's just too much for me so let me click on that now it says do you own
original silk back into the original state I can click on delete this will
then take me directly to the silk properties I can now click on clay data
click on play date or again and I should have all my space back and we can here
we can see that the application dated now says zero bytes so that's not
totally being cleared and we can see here that's now gone for 180 Meg down to
just three mixer so it's just another way you can centrally manage all of your
app data and control it from a single application and lastly where was section
four uninstall application so here we can click on uninstall now and here we
can see all of the applications on my device and what space that they're
taking so if you do find applications that you haven't used for a long time or
you're just not using anymore again we can use click on those click on
uninstall and I'll remove them from your device that's all for this video guys
many thanks for watching if you did find it helpful then do give it a thumbs up
