Gives Windows Phone users a tool to clean up their phone

There are several problems due to the lack of file browser, or any cleaning tool for WP8.

I mean, for example, the "Other" section, visible in the storage settings, which doesn't stop growing, even if we uninstall apps.
It could be great if we could see what does it contains exactly, and delete some useless things (apps cache etc.)

Otherwise, a simple file browser could be interesting aswell.

        Nokias Storage Check does not fix this.

        This is ***required*** to be fixed with GDR2, and by Microsoft, not by Nokia!

        Go to settings>applications > internet explorer> delete history

        this helps a bit.. But still not much relief.. Please microsoft, apply some wisdom.. This is not a computer it's a phone with limited storage..

        Please add file manager to windows phone, I can not clean "others" folder in my HTC 8S. It eats near 1 GB from 2 Gb free in my phone storage.

        Also downloaded files that no app could find or open. Unable to find to delete. Unnecessary waste of space.

        I've recently uninstalled several apps only to have more space taken up significantly afterward. Must be due to App updates I do.

        i think a system junk cleaning software could be a better idea for this :d

        Others folder sucks phone memory.And even shrink storage and cleanup phone memory software doesn't works for my NL 820

        Use Shrink Storage app in the store. Cleared up 1 GB of space on my Lumia. :)

        I have a htc windows phone 8s and its storage is full with 850mb others which i don't know what are those. How. Can i remove that this phone is totally useless with this kind of storage

        The 1308 update found 40mb of temporary files but it could not delete it and the actual size of "other" is almost 3giga. Still waiting for another update.
