Freeing Up Tablet Storage & Quick Slim-Down

After months of use — courses, covers, and caches — your phone or tablet can fill up. "Anxin Learn" includes transparent Storage Management & Quick Slim-Down tools so you always know what's using space and can reclaim it safely, without losing any core data.

[!TIP] 30-second storage slim-down quick-start

  • 4 transparent categories: offline videos, covers & thumbnails, local database, and temp caches — all visible at a glance;
  • One-tap slim-down, 100% lossless: clears orphan caches, temp transfer files, and compacts the database — never deletes your videos;
  • Leftover-file clean-up: files left on disk after being removed from your library get wiped with one tap — freeing GBs in seconds;
  • Core assets untouched: stars, pacing history, and the parent PIN are never affected.

1. See What's Using Space

  1. Open Storage Management: Go to [[Parent Center]] → tap [[Storage Space Management]];
  2. The dashboard shows it all: total usage plus 4 categories:
    • :icon(video): Imported local videos: offline MP4/MKV files on the device;
    • :icon(storage): Covers & thumbnails: local cover images and video frame caches;
    • :icon(database): Database & records: category structure, episode records, and logs;
    • :icon(sync): Temp & export caches: backup exports and transient transfer files.

2. One-Tap Quick Slim-Down (Safe, 3-Stage Cleanup)

Tap [[Quick Slim-Down]] and the app runs a 100% safe, lossless 3-stage physical cleanup:

  1. Temp cache cleanup: clears .tmp fragments from backup exports, Face-to-Face batch transfers, and network parsing;
  2. Orphan cover cleanup: using smart reference checks, only images no longer referenced by any video are removed — all in-use and custom covers are 100% kept;
  3. Database compaction: defragments and rebuilds the local database for speed and a smaller footprint.

[!IMPORTANT] The safety red line Slim-down never deletes any videos from your library. Categories, pacing rules, the parent PIN, and all stars stay 100% safe.

3. Local Videos & Leftover Big Files

  • What are "leftover videos"?
    Videos you removed from the library (or copied into the app directory manually without importing) can remain on the disk taking up space;
  • Clean in two steps:
    1. In Storage Management, tap [[Manage Local Videos]];
    2. Switch to the "Leftover Files" tab;
    3. Tap [[Clean Leftovers]] or tick specific videos to delete them permanently — freeing several GB instantly.

4. FAQ & Keeping Space in Check

Q: Will "Quick Slim-Down" accidentally delete my videos, covers, or records?

Never! Slim-down uses a strict whitelist check: it only removes genuinely orphaned images and temp files — your videos and check-in growth data are untouchable.

Q: Do online and Baidu Drive videos use tablet storage?

No! Bilibili and Baidu Drive videos stream online with minimal buffering and release it after viewing — they never park dozens of GB on the tablet. 0 physical storage used.

Q: My tablet is nearly full — what's the fastest fix?

  1. Tap [[Quick Slim-Down]] to clear junk;
  2. In "Local Videos", delete offline courses you've already finished;
  3. Move long-term courses into Baidu Drive and stream them online, download-free.
