Why is it that I have 700mb of free space and I can't install a 20mb app? All it says is im running low of space and I need to delete some apps but 700mb is no where near low. Is there anyway to fix this? And before anyone asks I don't use lucky patcher, whatever that is.

I was installing and uninstalling few games on my Hero (9...6 mb each) and I realized that afer uninstalling games internal disk space counter got mad.
Before uninstalling 9mbs game I had 27mb free and after only 30.
I cannot see any logic in it. I guess I'm missing those 6 megs somewhere.
I was wondering if there is any application that can defrag or scan the internal memory so you can recover missing disk space?
Cheers
clear your dalvik-cache in recovery, then reboot (takes a few minutes). this gives you most free space as possible.
Can you do that if it's not rooted?
Got the same!
I have the same problem like u, and i will like to know if is posible to do this for not rooted phones. What i was try to do to have some space on the internal memory, was everytime when i finish surf on the internet i go in setings, manage application, and i erase all data from browser, so i have some MB free and my phone run much better, but i don't know if is someting good for the phone Regards
hi there
my hero is showing low on memory icon of the top of the screen
how to solve it
please help
By deleting some apps
i uninstalled some apps but is there any other solution so that it doesnt gives low memory error
If you uninstall some apps you will free upp space on the phone. If you want to keep all of your apps you can use something called a2sd (apps to sd). It will allow you to install apps to the sdcard where you have more space. Search for it. There is alot of good guides out there.
One thing tho, I noticed i got the low space warning, so i clerad som cache etc, and got about 5 mb more.
However when i did a full wipe and installed the exact same apps I had about 15 mb more free space. What took so much space?
TI Backup is showing I have 456 apps installed which includes everything that came with the phone. I hear there is no limit (my old windows 6.5 phone was limited to 50 apps...after that all of the apps disappeared from the deinstall menu and you had to manually delete something to see them all again). Everything is installed to the internal card, nothing installed on the external SD card. I still have almost 9 gigs of free space so it is conceivable that 1500 apps is possible, though the phone may start to slow down at some point. With TI backup eating space along with the phone's built in android backup turned on I don't know how much of the free space will be eaten up.
So anyone over the 450 number?
There is a smaller area of the SD card put aside for apps..

I was on 448 but just downloaded another 3 to break 450. TiBu reporting 451 now. LOL

I don't see why you can't have as many apps as will fit on the internal storage...

Is there a way to increase the size?

space for apps
If there is a finite amout of space available for apps then there is definitely an upper limit to how many apps can be installed. i may be close to the limit since i tried installing a large app from amazon and received a message saying there was insufficient space. After I deinstalled Angry Birds Rio the nessage went away and the app installed. So to increase the amount of available space for apps you either have to increase the amount of allocated space for apps (whereever that directory is), delete other optional files like pics and music, or perhaps reformat.....I remember seeing soem sort of reformat option somewhere...maybe this post belongs in the dev forum since they are savvy with the system.

Sounds like you need Apps2sd.
Yes. I just got apps to SD. I didn't know any apps were on the SD card, I am still curious exactly.how much space is available on the phone. I'll have to copy over the apps to my 2nd SD card.

Hi people,
Well. Without the possibility to move apps to the sd card i am trying to find other ways to make the most of my 128 gb so that i can make the system rom as light and spacey as i can.
I'm rooted and using a custom kernel at the moment. Bloatware not useful to me is being removed but still there's little improvement on the system rom space where i now have 599 mb free space left. In my noobish mind more space is a faster phone but maybe i'm wrong.... since i had phones the lack of space on the system rom always bothered me.
So maybe there are more ways to get the space free on the system rom? Somebody there in s6 world that knows something and can help? Or must i not be bothered of the system rom space?
Would appreciate it!
Thanks
Patrick
Do you have tons of music and videos saved to your phone? There is an app called SD maid that can help clean out any extra random crap you have laying around. How in the world do you fill up that much space on a phone. did you somehow mess up a partition?

Hi Phrostbite, thanks for taking time for my question.
I have no problems with the S6. It's running smooth.
the partition i did not disturb that in any way.
Don't have any music or video's on the phone.
system ram> 3.78 gb. 599mb free space
Intern storage, rom> 122gb. 119 free space
Maybe i should do more reading about how the s uses the ram in combination with the intern storage but in my humble opinion more space is better so i'm looking tot get more free space on that 3.78 gb system ram.
Getting rid of adds/bloatware does not seem to change anything/much??
Just found some tekst on ram space. It says that clearing space on ram will not give good results.
Hi everyone. Sorry for starting a new post, but I looked and I wasn't sure where my question fit in. I'm using Link2SD on my kids' tablets and overall it works great. I got really fast (SanDisk extreme) micro SD cards for black Friday and the games run faster than with tablet memory. One thing I'm trying to figure out is why, even though I have both tablets set up mostly the same, one of the tablets has a lot less free space showing. I do have about 400-500 MB more of apps on the tablet showing less free space, BUT it is showing 4.0 GB free space vs. 5.8 GB free space on the other tablet. Why would this be (1.8 GB difference) if all else is the same?
Is it something to do with dalvik/cache? Speaking of it, is it safe to wipe the dalvik/cache through TWRP now that I have Link2SD set up with 30+ apps linked? Do I then just relink the dalvik files after rebooting? Or do things get messed up? I'm hesitant to do any of that because I have everything working well now, except the free space issue.
Or, if I multi-select and then choose to relink everything (apk, dex, internal data), could that help? Everything appears to already be linked correctly, so would relinking mess it up? Also, as a side note, I don't have any lib files linked as I have found that in the past it did mess things up for me. It would cause some apps to re-optimize at every boot, I think because the lib files wouldn't relink, even though I enabled it in the Link2SD settings. So now I stay away from that and all else is good, except this free space issue.
Any ideas on a solution? Is there something else taking up free space that's not listed in internal or system memory? Maybe downloaded Google play books? Or are they listed in the app data? Is the free space shown not correct, and it's actually more? I just can't figure it out. Any ideas would be great. Thanks!!!!
Here are the screenshots. You can see 5.76GB vs 4.07GB, but only 6.94GB vs 7.34GB for internal space difference. Why?
