An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a storage, and a processor configured to execute a storage device manager function, when the storage device manager function is executed, check a free space on a file system, as a result of the checking of the free space, determine whether the free space of the storage is less than or equal to a first reference ratio, when the free space of the storage is less than or equal to the first reference ratio, select and compress data having a use frequency less than or equal to a predetermined use frequency, manage the compressed data by using a list, and reserve and process a block secured by the compression on the file system.

Electronic device for selectively compressing and decompressing files based on free space and use frequency

In various embodiments, an electronic device may include a display, a memory including a first space storing no data and a second space storing data, and a processor. The processor may be configured to control the electronic device to: receive an input for inputting a setting value for a fast data storage mode of the memory, to allocate a predetermined size of a free space of a file system of the electronic device as a temporary memory space for the fast data storage mode based on the setting value for the fast data storage mode, to control the memory to allocate a predetermined size of the first space as a borrowed space for the fast data storage mode corresponding to the size of the temporary memory space, to recognize occurrence of an event for starting data storage through the fast data storage mode, and to control the memory to perform the data storage using the borrowed space through the fast data storage mode in response to the occurrence of the event.

Electronic device and method for utilizing memory space thereof

Various embodiments relate to a method for detecting a memory leak and an electronic device thereof, the electronic device including a processor, and a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed by the processor, control the electronic device to: acquire usage information for the memory of a process executed by the processor based on a collection period determined based at least partially on a characteristic of the process; identify a change pattern of a usage amount for the memory of the process based on the usage information; and determine whether a memory leak occurs based on the change pattern of the usage amount.
