# Why Does My Android Phone Still Say Storage Is Full After I Delete Videos?

I deleted several large videos from my [Android phone](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/1730/create-a-wi-fi-hotspot-with-an-android-phone), but the storage warning hasn’t changed much. The files are gone from the gallery, so I’m wondering whether they’re still sitting in a trash folder or whether something else is using the space.

Is there a reliable way to see what is actually taking up storage before I start clearing app data or removing files I might need?
