Cleaner
1. Clearing trash
Cleaner is one of the features that Security uses to remove trash from your device. You can
delete useless items that are stored on your phone to make sure your device works fast
and productively.
· How to clear trash
Open the Security app and tap "Cleaner". This will launch an automatic scan for trash,
including these 5 major categories: cache files, obsolete files, installation packages,
residuals, and memory cache. Once the scan is complete, you can choose which items to
clean up.
After the cleanup is done, you'll be able to see the report which gives you the details of
your storage usage and suggests other options which may help you free up more storage
space.
· Adding items to exceptions
You can add the items you don't want to be deleted to exceptions. When the scan is
complete press and hold an item and select "Add to exceptions". This item will be ignored
during the future scans.
· Different ways to use Cleaner
Besides using Cleaner proactively, you can also receive notifications when trash on your
device reaches the set limit. Tapping the notification will launch Cleaner automatically.
2. Cleaner settings
You can set reminders and switch between scan definitions in the settings.
· Choosing scan definitions
Scan definitions from the two service providers are available to you. You can choose
between Tencent and Clean Master.
· Reminders
Turn on the "Remind to clean" switch to set trash size limit and schedule alerts. Once the
amount of trash on your phone reaches the limit, you'll receive a notification alerting you
to use Cleaner. You can also customize the alert frequency.
· Update Cleaner's database automatically
We may update the scope of the Cleaner's engine at irregular intervals. Turn on automatic
updates to make sure that you're using the most recent definitions and clean up your
device more effectively.
