Netflix files taking too much of storage?
If you are having storage issues, here are three things that you can do about it —
1. Instead of downloading the entire Netflix TV series, download 1-2 episodes at a time. You can also toggle on Download Next Episode in Downloads > Smart Downloads or from the App Settings. With this turned on, Netflix will automatically download the next episode while you are watching the previous one and delete it once you’ve finished.
2. Another thing you can do to fit more Netflix episodes in your small storage is by changing the download quality. To do that, tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner > Tap on App Settings > Tap on Download video quality and select Standard.
3. If you have a microSD card on your device, you can change the location of your Netflix downloads. To do that, again go to App Settings > Tap on the Download Location and select the secondary location. (This option is not available in iOS)
