Does Storage Info access my actual files or just the usage totals?

It reads storage usage summaries from your operating system — the same data your Settings app shows — not the contents of individual files. Your files are never read or transmitted anywhere.

Why does the used space shown here differ from what I see in system Settings?

Different systems calculate storage slightly differently depending on whether they include the operating system itself, pending deletes, or external storage. The numbers should be very close, and any small difference is due to rounding or what the OS reports at that moment.

Can I delete files directly from within Storage Info?

Storage Info is a read tool — it shows you where space is used. To free up space, head to your device's Settings or file manager app and clear the caches or files the tool has identified.

Does it work without an internet connection?

Yes, completely. Storage Info reads data directly from your device and never needs a network connection.

What it does

Storage Info gives you a clear picture of how your device's storage is actually being used — broken down across apps, media, cached files, and system data. Instead of hunting through settings menus, you get an instant, at-a-glance summary of what's eating your space so you can make informed decisions about what to keep or clear. The tool runs entirely on your device: no account needed, no data ever leaves your phone, and it works fully offline. It's completely free, and because everything stays local, your file and usage details are never shared with anyone. Whether you're trying to free up room before a trip or just curious where your gigabytes went, Storage Info gives you the honest answer in seconds.

How to use the Storage Info

Open Carbide and tap Storage Info from the Device category.
Wait a moment while the tool scans your device's storage breakdown.
Review the summary showing total, used, and free space grouped by category (apps, media, cache, system).
Tap any category to see more detail about what's using that space.
Use the information to decide what files or app caches to clear.
