Hi,
I have a problem on my xperia mini pro: I was playing around with different versions of an app (CSipSimple) when suddenly the internal storage went completely full. I had about 180M free, and it went down to a couple of KB. I've uninstalled CSipSimple now, but it's still only 7M free.
How do I find out where the storage is gone? Installed Applications doesn't show any unusual app sizes, everything seems to be normal for the system, but I can't recover that space?
TIA,
Stefan
maybe the apps is creating a large number of cache files.. try app2sd. it will notify you about cache on your phone.
I have completely oposite "problem". Up until yesterday, I had around 70-80mb free space on my Mini, st15i. Suddenly, I have 250mb free space. I'm not complaining, I'm just wondering what happened.

dont worry if apps are working fine than there is no prob. the excess memory can be due to the cache that got cleared on rebooting ur phone.
I'm not worried at all, I just find it strange. I havent restarted phone for almost a month, so it's not because of that. I restarted it after I noticed that, I wanted to see if it's some bug or something, but it still shows me around 250mb.
Sorry for not replying earlier, but I eventually fixed the problem. I decided to root after all and through Root Explorer I found several "tombstone" files, these are basically crash dumps. Deleted them and everything is fine again.

Hello,
I had something weird happen to me today. I updated a few applications from the Android Market, and all of a sudden I got the phone internal memory storage full message. I was like how could this be since I have 10gigs of storage free. I went into Linda File Manager and I found out that somehow I am using 1.7gigs or 90% of the Application Storage. This is weird because I didn't install any new apps only updated currently installed ones and there is no way I am using this much space as I don't have that many applications. What would cause the Application storage to be this full? I looked at the apps space usage, cleared all the cache etc...but its still using 90% of the storage. What can I do to fix this problem?
Do you have OCLF? When I did have it I went from 1.7g to 338 MB. I factory reset my phone and it cleared the OCLF and I got my space back

Hi,
I have a weird problem with my S2 running samsung stock ICS 4.0.3. i have been using sgs2 for over a year now and whenever my free internal storage goes below 250MB i move the apps to SD card. But now No. of apps in SDcard has hit the Android limit so i simply delete the Apps. But off late that is not freeing up my internal memory. Soon after deleting apps it shows internal memory freed but by next day or it again fills up. This is when i check my storage at Settings-> storage (shows ~220MB). when i check my with settings -Applications it stays free and now its showing 600MB free. This was not the case earlier. Both the values above remained more or less same. So i have deleted ~300MB worth of applications without freeing up my storage
I have been searching vigorously but found no solutions. I have read about Wifi logs issue but it should have started soon after ICS upgrade. In fact till very recently it was fine coz i had to delete lot of Appa due to Android SD card bug. my free space went upto ~400Mb. Not now suddenly. In fact i changed nothing in my sgs2 to cause this. I noticed this issue when i installed and then uninstalled SYBIL. Would deleting Dalvik cache help? if yes then how to do it?
What else should i do? Is there a way to resolve this of find a workaround without Rooting. I love to root my phone and enjoy the freedom it offers but i have absolutely no time to do that.
Please help

finally found a solution in a thread in xda "A simple way to free up storage space is by deleting all the log files in the device memory. Just dial *#9900# on your phone and select option 2 “Delete dumpstate/logcat” in the prompted menu. It's not necessary to root your phone either. I restored 1.4 gig of space after doing this."
I own an 8GB Player 5. And after I downgraded it (I came from GB then upgraded to JB and back to GB), something seems to eat all the memory... I only have 1.66GB left, and I only installed a few apps! Something is eating my memory, and I tried deleting useless stuff, but I can't seem to find what's going on!
Help me!

try d/ling App Cache Cleaner and/or SD Maid from Play and see how those help. If they don't clear yr thumbnails, try looking for and deleting those.
Downloaded SD Maid, I found a lot of unused data that's hogging my deice. I also saw a lot big-sized files in LOST.DIR, deleted them, and now I have 2.23GB left. It's a good thing, but I have 3GB used, and I still don't know how it got there. But thanks, I guess I'd better live with that.

do a format of the storage
Hello all,
I have a very peculiar and troublesome problem on my hands. One of my family members has a Galaxy S II (international) running CM10.1, and the internal storage for apps and such is running very low, but I can't figure out why. She has only a handful of apps on the device, and even the internal SD card is more than half empty. The device is giving a "Storage space is running out" notification. I tried reinstalling CM10, but I left the data partition intact, so maybe I have to wipe it out to fix it. I'd prefer not to do that if at all possible, as we're on vacation right now. Any ideas?
Thanks!
I have the exact same problem.
i have 12 gig's of internal storage. 1gig used (if i add up the used files). and 899mb free.... ??
it doesnt add up.
i installed CM10.1.3 and cant figure out where all the data is.
cleared all cash and removed unused apps. it gives me a couple more MB's but no gigs extra....
i have a feeling i didnt clear the phone well enough before installing CM10.1.3
how do i get the missing ghost files back. and remove them?
Hey there,
I have a problem with my tablet. I cannot install some apps from the store. A little amount of apps could be installed, but the rest won't.
There is the same problem if I try to install an app from the Explorer. I always get the Error, that there isn't enough space left. Even though I have 3gigs of internal and 20 of external left.. I tried nearly everything. Even another Rom didn't help.. I think there is something wrong with an app but I don't know what.
Help is really appreciated
Btw: i'm on spg311 with 4.3 jellybean and root
