Alright, so Ive been saving things to my storage card and what not; But my Hd2 is telling me my devices main memory is running low on space.
Wtf?
I dont save things to the main memory, Im saving it to the Storage Card, 16 Gb. I cant even get the full potential of my Storage Card because my Hd2, keeps warning me that my memory is low. I have loads of space still on my storage card, but my main device has 3 Mb left.
This is very aggitating.
Can someone check this out, cause Im completly lost.
Lack of memory
Sorry, I can't help as the same thing is frustrating me also.
Only way i found was to limit the amount of applications on the phone.
Even if you install to your SD card, your phone memory goes up also.
Grrrrrrr
opera cache, windows temp, youtube cache, photo album cache, install temp folder,,,, and more, they're all in main memory and fill up.
search on clearing temp folders.
windows/opera9/profiles/cache
windows/temp
application data/volatile
windows/profiles/guest/(3 sub folders)
temp/
just to get you started.
oh and some good reading here

My X10s internal storage memory is getting low, like 75MB, what do I do to remedy this, and what's causing it.
it's normal.. Android fills the memory - upto a preset threshold.. so when the "user" calls for a frequently used app, it's likely to already be in memory, allowing it to launch it more quickly..
If you're having problems with the phone getting slow, then suggest something like Task Manager to kill apps that you don't need to be held in memory - BUT only use it to kill apps that don't automatically restart, otherwise you'll only end up fighting with your phone, and using more battery!
No , I mean the internal storage memory, not the RAM, it's getting low. And I'm not sure why.
Ah.. I see.. well the obvious answer is that you've got a lot of apps on there.. ?
If it's not that, then could be a crappy app that's storing stuff on the phone, rather than the SD card...
Try clearing the caches of EVERY APP and UTILITY. I do it every night before I go to bed.
I've got an htc droid incredible 4g lte running CM11. Its got 1GB of internal memory.
Apps are only about 200mb
data is 267mb
Davik Cache takes about 460mb
So I always run into "insufficient memory" errors when trying to update apps.
Everyone says "just move apps to SD", sure that helps at first but ...
1. Many apps wont work right if you move them to SD (ie Facebook)
2. You can move apps to SD, but many apps still keep data in internal memory (ie. Facebook)
3. It doesnt matter where your apps are, you're still going to use up space with Davlik cache.
Reducing apps is obviously one solution, but not really. Most of the "important" apps (ie. Google stuff) are large and keep getting bigger. The rest of the apps use a trivial amount of space.
If I could force moving data to the SD card, that would help alot.
Ideally, I'd like to re-partition the internal memory and SD space to give more to internal memory.
When the notification comes up that I'm 75% full it offers me to transfer all data to the SD card. I've tried several times to move all the app data possible to the SD card (as I have about 20gb free on it) but it gets stuck on about 6% I've left this for a day but still gets no further. Any way of sorting this out? I'd like to just free up some of the internal memory space. Everything else on the tablet is on the SD card, so just apps remain.
Thanks
try this... it works well, just hope your device is rooted.... check out the video above..

After using the phone for a while, even if you don't install lots of apps, the 16GB internal storage area will eventually get full. Facebook, chrome, twitter etc develop large caches on the device. The thumbnail file balloons to several GBs. Even if you have a microSD, Google these days limit portability to the microSD. There are some workarounds. I use an app called Link2SD. I have created a 2nd partition on my microSD card, and use this app to move app data and cache files to this storage area.
How do you cope with the 16GB storage limit? How do you move apps and/or app data to the microSD card?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Root
And use folder mount. But the ultra does seem to collect a lot of a cache I've noticed over the years. I just clear it. Not to mention es file explorer has a recycling bin which is a nightmare.
I don't use the phone storage expect for Google everything else I run on my SD card.
Link2SD sucks its all complicated folder mount gets right to the point. Plus I use CyanogenMod so out of the box my phone only uses like 700mb
i remember on my desire hd on og the devs made a way to make the phone think that sd card was iternal memory so in other words i had 32gb internal also did this on my samsung tablet too
I have never filled up the internal storage completely. I have a 64GB SD which I use to store some of my music on, and all wallpapers and photos are moved to the SD. The only things I have on the internal storage are apps, and non of them manages to balloon the cache up to several gigs. Chrome has a cache limit of 200 MB, Reddit Sync has an option to clear the cache every day/every time I close it etc, so the things that takes up the most space are games. Those aren't causing any issues either since I only have 2 or 3 games installed at all times. When I'm done with them, I uninstall them. The stock ROM also has "App to SD" (which I don't use, but it's there). So all in all, I don't have to overcome any limits.
I can see how it's an issue if you insist in having 600 apps installed at all times, but then it's not the hardware's fault, but the user that's incredibly messy and stupid.
I use Obb on SD (Xposed) for games such as the GTA series and have a task for cleaning the Album cache with Tasker every day (that app tend to build huge cache files, I have experienced 1 GB....) and I am also careful to move downloaded stuff to the microSD card.
I also clean the cache regularly under storage and is usually with 2 GB free on the internal disk.
It is handy to set up Tasker to do regular cleaning of cache folders for those apps who tend to create big caches as well. When decent Marshmallow ROMs are out, my plan is to format my microSD card as "internal storage" (ext4 per the new feature introduced) which will make everything more seamless.
I have a rooted Moto X Pure (XT1575) running CM13. I did all of my migration/installation prior to installing an external SD card.
Today, I popped in and formatted an external SD card. I haven't done much of anything with the phone since doing that. About 1-2 hours later, I was browsing the external storage, and noticed that an Android/data directory was created, with about 10 subdirs. They are empty for the most part. But some (possibly all) of those subdirs were already also present, with data, in the internal storage (under Android/data of course).
Why does this happen, and should I be concerned about it? Putting my OCD hat on, I can't see why it would make sense for one app to have its data spanned across both volumes. For one, it seems like a waste of space. Second, how would the app know where to find what resources? And third, it's just sloppy to have this data managed across both volumes.
I have tried searching for this phenomenon, but it is a difficult thing to search on. There are so many questions about Android internal/external storage, that there is nothing could see that would clearly distinguish mine from the others, in the eyes of a search engine.
Your help is much appreciated.
Regards.
