Hi Android Experts -
I'm a technie in some non-Android product areas, but I know little to nothing about Android (I have a phone with a different OS). I'm trying to help my girlfriend (an utter non-techie) free up storage on her Huawei Honor.
Her phone had about 1/2 GB of free storage when I started looking at it, and eventually I found that she had downloaded dozens of youtube videos, taking up a total of over 10GB of storage (!!). I had her delete a couple dozen of these videos, but she still has only 1/2 GB free. In other words, deleting a significant number of the videos seems to have freed up zero storage.
I've googled for "recycle bin" and "trash can", thinking that needed to be emptied, but found that Android does not have such a feature.
I'm sure that I'm overlooking something that is glaringly obvious to all of you, but I suspect that this must be a very-well known problem that is escaping my internet search skills.
I humbly ask for guidance on this topic and gratefully thank you in advance!

P.S. Troubleshooting is a painful way of learning a new OS, LOL!
