If you are encountering this issue, reset your phone by pressing the Power/Lock button for about 10 seconds or until it boots up successfully. This will allow it to refresh its system, and sometimes, this process also solves minor glitches.

4. Install Antivirus

Due to the popularity of the Android OS, many developers and hackers are now targeting its vulnerabilities. Thus, many viruses or malware are now being circulated online and through apps which corrupt files or fill up your storage space with unwanted downloads. Prevent this by installing a reliable antivirus app.

5. Remove Erratic Apps

Rouge apps can cause this particular issue too. Uninstall any app that you think is behaving erratically or try to disable the most recent app that you have installed prior to the problem. Then, check if you are still getting the error.

6. Perform Hard Reset

If all else fails, perform a Hard Reset to undo any harmful changes brought about by third-party apps and free up your memory completely. This will only leave your basic apps after the process so make sure that you have backed up your important files prior.
