Abstract
A device may monitor an amount of storage available on a user device; determine, based on the monitoring, that the amount of storage is below a particular threshold; score multiple data files stored by the user device; determine particular data files, of the multiple data files, that should be deleted from the user device based on the scoring and based on the amount of storage available on the user device; and cause, based on determining that the amount of storage is below the particular threshold, the user device to delete the particular data files from the user device. The user device may have an amount of available storage space exceeding the particular threshold after deleting the particular data files.
