Android Central Question

Help! My A7 has become practically unusable because it’s filled to the brim and unable to update apps or system updates.

The options to manage storage are strangely inscrutable. The storage overview shows 31.5/32 gb. Of that:

Total space: 32gb
Available space: 505mb
System memory: 10.1gb
Photos and videos: 26.9mb
Games: 1.3gb
Movie and TV apps: 188mb
Other apps: 1.9gb
Files: 2.5gb

I’m no math expert, but totaling all that up gives a result a lot less than 31.5gb.

How do I find and delete this phantom storage that’s taking up all this space? How do I reduce the System Memory that’s sucking up a third of my device’s promised storage?
