9. Perform a factory reset

But remember factory reset means all your settings and data get erases so don’t do it frequently. Backup your important information and data before performing a factory reset.

It sounds odd but task killing, in reality, slows down performance. Modern Android devices are efficient to manage memory somehow. Mobile automatically kills less important processes in the background to free space.

When you kill tasks and re-launch the program, it takes even more time and space for booting/loading.
