Many of you already use Google Photos for all your photo backup needs. However, sometimes you may backup your photos and need to free up some space on your device.

In the latest Google Photos update, you will now be able to hit the “Free Up Space” button in the settings and it will automatically delete any duplicate photos that have already been backed up. In addition, you can also delete photos stored on your SD card from within the app too.

If using the web app, you can now opt for a smaller “High quality” photo upload size after photos have already been uploaded in “Original quality.” Doing this will save space and not count towards your Google Drive storage limits.
