Why is my miscellaneous file so big?

[SammiLadi]

It says my miscellaneous file is 483 mb but when I click on it it only shows about 5 files that are very small. I only have 4 gigs of storage so I wanna delete as much as possible! TIA

Welcome to Android Central! There could be hidden files. Regardless, I'd leave them alone -- just because they're categorized as "Miscellaneous" doesn't mean they're useless.

Miscellaneous files are usually the files that apps keep. That's where all the saved data is. If you delete it all, you're deleting everything you told your apps to save.
