If your phone has ever run out of storage space, then you know how annoying it can be to find ways to free up space. Most often this leads to uninstalling apps. No one likes being forced to delete apps, but a new feature coming to Android could help you keep your apps while freeing up space at the same time.

This morning, Google announced that it is rolling out an auto-archiving feature to Android. With this new feature, the company is aiming to reduce unnecessary app uninstalls while allowing new apps to be downloaded.
