[Solved] Storage Problem - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After a recent rom flash my apps would no longer install saying that I had insufficent space. I've looked aroudn my device and it appears there's plenty of available space however I don't know if there's something I'm missing or if it may have been a bad flash? I tried reverting back to a backup and I continued having the problem.
Thanks

I think you had a bad flash id suggest you to go to recovery and flash the same rom you're using and see if it works and if it doesnt try odin and thats 100% sure thats goin to fox your problems and if you continue to have the same problem then the rom if the one thats giving you troubles... if it is try flashin another rom such as trigger..

It's funny that you would say go to Odin because that's what I eventually resolved to do and....bricked my device. Thank you for your advice though it's been quite valuable for future applications!

Nice screenshots buddy! That helps. Can you open Root Explorer and go into /system and take one? In the top left you should see used space and free space available. What kinda numbers are you getting?
*EDIT* I added my screenshot

Why does he need to know how much space is left on the /system partition when that's not a "writeable" area? If anything, it's the /data partition he should be doing this to.

Do it to both, LOL. I'm pretty sure mine is read/write tho thats why I paid for Root explorer I think? My screen shot shows it as r/w and I can mount it as r/o if I want but I kinda like it being writable. Now I'm cunfused and my head hurts. Time to, "Fire it up!"
*EDIT* I added my screenshot of /data I thought I had alot of free space in /system but jesus!

I have a very similar problem, but mine said that the application can't be downloaded and I have to check if I have enough memory in/system. I can't find any answer to this as well.

Parusia, use an ODIN pit file and stock firmware and see if that will re-partition the phone. If it still will not, PM me as I can fix this with JTAG.

Have always had my stuff on SD card and now all the sudden looking throughout root explore none of them show
Just wonder what happened this happened this morning when revereted back to my daily driver

Did you have them on the external, which /sdcard is on aosp roms, which i can see you're using.
Or internal, which is now /emmc?
Simple mix up if you were on tw right before aosp
SOLVED. Inturnal nor no was on ics have been sense came out. Nor sure whats up but when I go to flash something its all there just can't find it with root explore. Which makes it hard to delete old stuff

Thanks for helping.
AFTER READING YOUR POST ON HELPING ME WITH "emmc" being possible . Looked and there they were
Thanks again this why we are here to help each other and make better devices
Not sure if you got what i was saying or not.
Internal sdcard is /emmc
So from where you are in that pic..go back to the parent folder, then go back again, then back once more, that should be the root directory.
From there you should see /emmc
That's your internal sdcard, you will be able to find your zips from here.
(This is a themed root explorer)
Root directory, see /emmc?

odd folder sucking up all my storage space

I recently flashed cm10.1 on my GS3 and now I've got all my internal storage stuck in the storage/emulated/0/android/obb or storage/emulated/legacy/android/obb locations. Under settings it shows total space 12.05gb, available is 668mb but less than 1/4 of the visual bar is full and accounted for. Sd maid is showing the obb folder is holding 11.39gb but no matter what explorers I use it always appears empty. Anyone know how to free up this spae? I can't find anything anywhere about this. Thank you ion advance.
Edit:
Restoring it doesn't free the space up at all. Even tried restoring my backups and the space remains full.

This is happening to me on my Nexus 4, no solution found yet
Same problem
I'm currently having this problem and used the SD Maid app and it says the exact same thing. Did anyone ever find a solution?
Only thing that worked was formatting the internal memory. A restore won't do it, must be a fill format. Feels great to have the space back.
that's because of the previous firmware's data saved on your phones. just perform a full emmc(only internal memory) wipe.
The answer is in my signature. No need to wipe anything

No it didn't. If you deleted eveything on your internal sdcard you did not do what I said in my thread
Can you provide me the link to it? I failed to find your solution in your signature....

My internal sd says 9 gigs is taken up

So I have searched and searched through my phone and I can't find what is taking up all my space. I"m on Nos M7 3.05, android 4.2.2. It created the sd card 0 which is fine but it's like there is some hidden files that are taking up so much space. I was on a older version of nos and did a back up. Flashed this and now I can't find my back up. Can anyone help me?

Well I looked there before, and yes it has my old stuff but nothing in there was taking up that much space. So it was data/media/emulated I deleted media which only had the emulated file there. It broke the rom i was on, but I fixed it with a adb sidload. So now it says I have ten gigs, I guess must have had an hidden back up in there or something.Still missing 5 gigs? I mean at least 3 taken up by the os right?
did you try to erase old backups in the clockworkmod folder?

What you deleted was a symlink to your /0 folder, so you basically deleted your sdcard as 4.2+ sees it, your 4.1 stuff may still be in /data/media. Not all file explorers show it correctly, solid does and I think maybe es might in root mode, otherwise a lot get confused by the symlinking and show your /0 not data/media.
If you don't have solid, there's a trial doe it, give it a try, or other root explorers, and see if you can see inside /data/media.

Getting a download issue when installing an apk from Internet.

Any help would be appreciated. I have more than enough storage space to spare a 100MB game download. Running a Rooted S4.

How much internal space do you actually have?
You can try clearing data/cache on Google Play Services / Play Store. Rebooting and seeing how that treats you. Or grab Disk Usage from the play store to see exactly how much storage you have left and what's using it.
Either you really don't have the space or its just one of them buggy things where hopefully clearing data will fix it.

Cleared data and cache and same error pops up. Disk Usage shows I have over 4GB storage to spare so I don't see a reason why this would be happening

Try going into /system/app or /data/app and look to see if the game or app your trying to download is there and delete it. That's worked for others. Is It only with this app?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
Yeah I've tried that already before and there is no apk whatsoever for that app in /system/app or /data/app. It's only this app that's giving me issues. I installed another app and it worked fine after I got this error.

Are you rooted? You need to be rooted and use a root browser. If you've done that too then idk... good Ol factory reset maybe if that app is that important . I'm out of ideas man [emoji15]

Yeah I'm rooted and I don't know what to do next either. Maybe backup everything and reset. We'll see.. Thanks for the help

tried that and it seems to be an error for only apps downloaded from the market.

Wonder what's taking up all my memory?

Hey guys. I've found most of my phones memory is taken up, but I can't work out what is filling it all up! Sure there's system requirements, and apps and cache. But after that there is 7.51gb for miscellaneous storage and I've only about 1.5gb free, yet when I click on it and see the list the totals only add up to about 2.5gb used. This about equals what I got using es file Explorer to add up the totals.
I have no idea what else is using up my memory. Does anyone else have a clue what to look at? I really don't wanna do a full system and SD card wipe and start again. Thanks for any advice

Did u just flashed a 4.2 or above rom from 4.1.2?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I'd been swapping roms for while, usually with a wipe data but not necessarily with a format of the sd card. Have been on justarchi's NA7 stock for about a month straight now, feels like I'm in FA (flashers anonymous )
Maybe I'm in a situation where I just need to wipe the buggery out of it, flash the rom I want again (been thinking of changing) and see what happens.
I'm not tech wizard, but it seems strange that I can't find what is taking up 5gb of space! There's no music or photo's on it, my Ti Backup is 1.57gb and then my rom file is 810mb. After that that biggest thing on there is 40mb.
