## How to clean up your Android device
1\. Open the Malwarebytes app on your Android device
2\. On the **Junk Cleaner** card, tap **Clean**
If this is your first time using Junk Cleaner, you’ll need to grant permissions:
* Allow file access: Tap **Give permission** , then turn on **Allow Malwarebytes to manage all files**.
* Allow usage access: Tap **Go to Settings**. Under **App usage data** , tap **Malwarebytes** , then turn on **Permit access to app usage data**. If the toggle is grayed out, follow the on-screen instructions to enable access.
3\. Return to the Junk Cleaner screen and tap **Refresh**
4\. Tap **Select all** , then **Clean all**
Once the cleanup is complete, you’ll see an “All clean” screen showing how much storage space you freed up.
Prefer to remove files individually? Just select the files or folders you want to delete, then tap **Clean**.
**Important** : Once files are deleted with Junk Cleaner, they cannot be recovered using the Malwarebytes app.
