I’m using a OnePlus Nord CE 4 on the Android 16/OxygenOS beta and my storage has become a mess. I currently have 115GB used out of 128GB and the “Other” system storage alone is taking around 40GB.

The phone has started feeling slower and I suspect it’s because of leftover beta/update/cache files. I’m considering doing a factory reset to clean everything up properly.

Before I do it, I wanted to ask:

Which folders should I definitely back up to my PC?

Is copying DCIM, Pictures, Download, Documents and WhatsApp folders enough?

What about Android/data and game saves?

After resetting, what’s the best way to restore photos/docs/apps without bringing back all the junk again?

Did a factory reset help anyone reduce “Other” storage significantly on OxygenOS?

I can handle slow pacing. What I cannot handle is when a movie feels like it wants to be taken seriously before it has earned any emotional weight.

If the characters feel more like symbols than people, the dialogue sounds polished instead of lived-in, and every scene feels built to be analyzed later rather than felt in the moment, I stop watching the story and start watching the filmmaking.

At that point, it might still be “good cinema,” but it is no longer a movie I actually enjoy.

Does anyone else feel the same way, or do I just bounce off a certain style of film?
