Electronic device for managing storage space and method of operating the same

A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:

• identifying a first profile and a second profile of a user, both the first profile and second profile associated with an application of the electronic device;
• display on the display a home screen including a plurality of selectable icons representing executable applications, in which the application is represented by two separate icons,
• a first icon of which is selectable to execute a first instance of the application in an operating system of the electronic device in tandem with the first profile but not the second profile, and
• a second icon of which is selectable to execute a duplicate second instance of the application in the same operating system as the first instance, in tandem with the second profile but not the first profile;
• storing, by a processor, at least one first file associated with the first profile in a first area of a memory of the electronic device by the application;
• storing at least one second file associated with the second profile in a second area of the memory by the duplicate of the application;
• in response to execution of a file application, identifying a first amount of memory usage for the first area of the memory and a second amount of memory usage for the second area of the memory used by the duplicate of the application;
• controlling a display of the electronic device to display a first execution screen including first information indicating the first amount of memory usage for the first area of the memory, second information indicating the second amount of memory usage by the duplicate of the application, and a first object configured to provide an analysis function for memory usage associated with the second profile;
• and
• in response to identifying a touch on the first object, controlling the display to display a second execution screen of the file application including information about amounts of memory usage for a plurality of categories of the second profile,
• wherein the plurality of categories comprise an image category, a video category, and a document category, and
• wherein the information about the amounts of memory usage for the plurality of categories includes amounts of memory usage for image files, video files, and document files, respectively.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for storing instructions which, when executed by at least one processor of an electronic device, control the electronic device to perform:

• identifying a first profile and a second profile of a user, both the first profile and second profile associated with an application of the electronic device;
• displaying on a display a home screen including a plurality of selectable icons representing executable applications, in which the application is represented by two separate icons,
• a first icon of which is selectable to execute a first instance of the application in an operating system of the electronic device in tandem with the first profile but not the second profile, and
• a second icon of which is selectable to execute a duplicate second instance of the application in the same operating system as the first instance, in tandem with the second profile but not the first profile;
• storing at least one first file associated with the first profile in a first area of a memory of the electronic device by the application;
• storing at least one second file associated with the second profile in a second area of the memory by the duplicate of the application;
• in response to execution of a file application, identifying a first amount of memory usage for the first area of the memory and a second amount of memory usage for the second area of the memory used by the duplicate of the application;
• controlling a display of the electronic device to display a first execution screen including first information indicating the first amount of memory usage for the first area of the memory, second information indicating the second amount of memory usage by the duplicate of the application, and a first object configured to provide an analysis function for memory usage associated with the second profile;
• and
• in response to identifying a touch on the first object, controlling the display to display a second execution screen of the file application including information about amounts of memory usage for a plurality of categories of the second profile,
• wherein the plurality of categories comprise an image category, a video category, and a document category, and
• wherein the information about the amounts of memory usage for the plurality of categories includes amounts of memory usage for image files, video files, and document files, respectively.
