why can't I see all files I've downloaded in my download file?

[Android Central Question]

I need to clear space on my phone. storage says I have 250mb on downloads. when I go to download file only about 10mb of files show. how can I find other 250mb worth of files to delete and get more space?

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Sometimes, downloaded files don't show up in the Downloads app -- I think it may have to do with the app that did the downloading. Use a file manager app to look directly in the /Download directory. If you see the rest of the files there, you can use the file manager to delete them.
