Your phone says storage is full, and you cannot tell whether the culprit is old photos, leftover app data or a game you forgot about. Avast Cleanup, from Avast Software, tries to answer that question in one place. This page covers what it costs, what it does and how well it is maintained.
Free to install, with ads and in-app purchases
Avast Cleanup is free on Google Play. The listing also flags both ads and in-app purchases, so some tools or removal of ads may sit behind a payment. Check the app before relying on a specific feature.
Google Play rates it 4.6 from about 1.5 million ratings, and the app has over 50 million installs there. Its content rating is Everyone.
Junk cleaning, app removal and the photo tools
The core job is clearing junk: old and residual files, browser history, download folders and data left behind by uninstalled apps. A storage analyzer shows where space goes, and you can uninstall several unwanted apps in one pass.
The App Analyzer judges each app by its impact on the device, including data use and battery drain. An Apps Overview view points to apps you rarely open.
The photo section finds similar, old, dark or blurry images. A photo adjuster compresses pictures at Low, Moderate, High or Aggressive levels, and photos from private chats can be deleted. A separate monitor shows how CPU, RAM and storage are used, and Quick Clean runs a cleanup in one step.
Version 26.16.1 and a release history back to 2015
The app first appeared on February 26, 2015, and the current version is 26.16.1, updated on September 3, 2026. That is a long-running product that is still receiving updates. It needs Android 10 or later, which rules out older phones.
