Short answer
To free up space on the Nord N100, open Settings > Storage & memory to see what is using it, clear duplicates with Google Photos: Free up space on this device, then empty Photos's Recently Deleted. A default 13 MP photo is about 3.9 MB, so 5,000 photos take roughly 20 GB of the 64 GB base model.

Where is the storage screen on the Nord N100?
The Nord N100 launched in November 2020 with Android 10 and OxygenOS 10.5. On that software the storage screen is Settings > Storage & memory.
Other OxygenOS versions use a different path; the OnePlus guide lists them.
How much space do Nord N100 photos take?
Nord N100: 13 MP main sensor, plus 2 MP macro, 2 MP depth. 1,000 default Nord N100 shots take about 3.9 GB.
| File | Typical size | Fits in 10 GB |
|---|---|---|
| Default photo (13 MP) | about 3.9 MB | about 2,564 |
| One minute of video at 1080p 30fps | about 130 MB | about 77 minutes |
The Nord N100 has no high-resolution mode beyond 13 MP, so photo sizes stay predictable. Recording at 1080p 30fps, the Nord N100 writes about 130 MB a minute, so a ten-minute clip takes 1.3 GB, the same as 333 default photos. Selfies from the 8 MP front camera are about 2.4 MB each.
What is specific to the Nord N100?
Only 64 GB of storage, but it takes microSD cards up to 256 GB.
Which built-in cleaners did the Nord N100 ship with?
Out of the box on OxygenOS 10.5, the Nord N100 has Google Photos: Free up space on this device (Google Photos > profile picture > Free up space on this device) and Files by Google cleaning suggestions (Files by Google > Clean). How each works is in the OnePlus guide.
Where do deleted photos go on the Nord N100?
On the Nord N100, Photos's Recently Deleted holds them for 30 days (Photos > Albums > Recently Deleted). It launched on Android 10, before Android 11's system trash, so that depends on it having been updated.
How much of each Nord N100 storage option does a big gallery use?
| Storage option | 5,000 default photos | 30 minutes of top-quality video |
|---|---|---|
| 64 GB | 20 GB (30%) | 3.9 GB (6%) |
On the 64 GB Nord N100, every 10 GB you free holds about 2,564 more default photos, and a gallery of 20,000 photos would fill 122% of it.
How does the Nord N100 compare with other OnePlus Nord N phones?
Against the Nord N10 5G (November 2020), the Nord N100 starts lower, at 64 GB instead of 128 GB and has a 13 MP main sensor where the Nord N10 5G has 64 MP.
