That\u2019s how much storage a single system app you\u2019ve probably never heard about is taking up on your Android phone right now. It\u2019s called AICore, and it\u2019s from Google itself. Now, I don\u2019t blame you for not knowing about it because it\u2019s not something your phone asks before downloading or even shows in the app drawer. <\/p>\n<p>AICore is what powers some of the AI features you either use every day or don\u2019t care about at all. I certainly fall into the latter camp, so I ended up disabling AICore and freeing up 6GB of storage. And the best part is, I haven&#8217;t noticed any downsides.<\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\">Related<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n<p>\t\t\tI emptied a trash folder I didn&#8217;t know my phone had and got 12GB back<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">My edits were wasting storage.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"aicore-is-a-storage-hog-most-android-users-don-39-t-know-about\">\n                        AICore is a storage hog most Android users don&#8217;t know about<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"it-powers-features-you-rsquo-ve-probably-never-used\">\n            It powers features you\u2019ve probably never used<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<p>                               &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/disable-aicore-app-android-free-up-space\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I disabled one Android system app and got 6GB back with zero downsides https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/disable-aicore-app-android-free-up-space\/ Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":281464,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static0.makeuseofimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2026\/01\/storage-space-on-google-pixel-10-pro.png?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[70],"class_list":["post-281463","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-google"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281463"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281463"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281463\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":281465,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281463\/revisions\/281465"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
