    I use Clean Master frequently, cleans out 100's of MB of junk, seems a good app, try it, then just uninstall it, if you want to.

    Is it any better than the function that comes with avg for xperia?

    Have a look at Facebook Lite - it takes up very little space and uses little data.

    See #24.

    My phone is constantly running out of memory. I've just replaced Facebook with Facebook Lite as suggested. Wow! - what a difference - thanks for this tip.:beer:

    I found CleanMaster quite bloated -- it seemed to affect the phone's performance. The memory cleaning feature is useless as Android manages memory by itself quite well -- it's likely to just increase battery usage and reduce performance.

    Also, if you're using CleanMaster to delete cache files frequently, it just means that when you next run the app, the cache files are recreated (using extra battery power and possibly mobile data).

    The main benefit of programs like this is to get rid of leftover files when you uninstall an app. I have CCleaner installed, as it isn't as bloated as CleanMaster, but rarely use it.
