The surest way is to save essential information, then factory data reset.

NOte I didn't say backup, which will save the junk also.

I Use google photo for pictures and video.  Google drive for documents and Gmail/Google for contacts.

PLease make sure you have a good wifi connection for factory data reset and adding all your information back onto the phone.
