Samsung Introduces New Feature to Automatically Delete Old Screenshots
Samsung has added a new feature to help users manage their phone storage more easily. The company introduced an automatic screenshot cleanup tool in the latest update for Galaxy devices. This feature will find and remove old screenshots that users have not touched in 90 days or more.

Many people take screenshots often but forget to delete them later. Over time, these files can fill up valuable space on a phone. Samsung’s new system checks the screenshot folder regularly. It marks screenshots as safe to delete if they have not been opened or shared in the last three months. Users will get a notification before anything is removed. They can choose to keep specific images or let the system clear them out.
The feature is part of Samsung’s ongoing effort to simplify phone maintenance. It builds on existing tools like Smart Storage and Recycle Bin. Those tools already help users free up space by managing photos, videos, and other files. Now, screenshots get the same smart treatment.
People who use Galaxy phones with One UI 6.1 or newer will see this option in their settings. It is turned off by default. Users must enable it manually under the Storage section. Once on, the phone handles the rest without needing daily input.

Samsung says this update responds to customer feedback about cluttered photo galleries and low storage warnings. The goal is to reduce manual cleanup while keeping important files safe. Users stay in control, but the phone does the heavy lifting.
