Hi,
I found that when uninstalling apps from the internal memory, there's still too much space still in use.
When I uninstall any App, I first clean cache & data to then uninstall it.
How can I clean up all the trash and temp files the app I was using left on my internal memory?
I'm using GT-I9300 with ELLA 4.1.2 stock firmware (rooted)
Thanks,

Open the firmware and search for those files .
Otherwise leave Android to manage itself .

I guess I never asked a question, has anyone else seen this or knows how you address it?

Were you plugged into USB at the time? did it actually have write-access to your SD card? Try rebooting once. Could be one of the numerous glitches we are finding on MIUI....who knows.
No I was not plugged into the usb, I have also tried rebooting, I rebooted into the recovery and cleared both cache files. I also tried repair permissions.
No luck, I am pretty sure this started when I got stuck in a boot loop between builds then I had to odin back to stock and wipe data.
Afterwards I restored from my miui backup then this occurred.
I guess the only thing to try is to wipe all 3 and reinstall without restoring.

I was able to move them to the sd card after uninstalling and reinstalling each individual app.

Is there an easier way to active data2ext that I just haven't figured out yet?
Everytime I try a new rom I have to flash data2ext and run the full list of commands in terminal emulator...is there something I'm missing that makes the process a whole lot quicker?
yea, use link2sd
Is that the same as data2ext? I can get my 1 gig of internal memory?

Yesjust backup your whole SD card to your computer and format your sdcard, next in recovery go to advanced/partition SD card and pick what size you want, then download and open link2sd and pick ext 3, reboot your phone and reload your SD card from your computer to your phone, and you will be able to link all of your user apps to your sdcard, giving you virtually unlimited space.

Personally, I like data2ext far better than link2sd

data2ext automatically installs everything to sd. link2sd you can customize which programs to send to sd.
havntt tried data2ext, but link2sd works for me, they added a multiselect option recently and you just move all your apps in one go, i have maybe 40 apps and 230mb on my ext, and 60/200mb or so on my internal
My phone suddenly get in trouble. I can't install/update any app from play store. The message "Application cannot be installed in the default installation location" always show up. This is screenshots:

It's very annoying because I have to wait hours for downloading and then that message comes up.
well it looks like your apps partition is full. although it may say u have free space left on USB/SD, your system partition is maybe full.
if u go to settings->storage you will notice you have 3 "storages" 1. Interal 1 (1-2GB), Internal 2 (10-11GB) and SD card storage.
It maybe possible u menaged to fill 1st one too much. Check storage there and try moving some apps to SD card if possible.

Thanks, I forgot that. Your method works.
Good! cheers
For roms like cm12 the internal storage is a bit small and I often got a "no free storage left" message. I did a bit of research and as for the Xperia S it is possible to resize the internal storage.
Now it looks like this.
Is anyone interested in a guide how to resize the partitions? If you do you'll lose everything stored on the device and the sd card and need to backup everything.

It is possible to merge internal memory(sometimes called device storage) and sdcard0.(sometimes called internal storage). However it is usually risky business and flashing over can hardbrick your phone.
However there are other ways to do it.
First is to move apps to sdcard, which is done best by Titaniumbackup (It requires root)
Secondly you can use a software likelink2sd which would use your memory card(you decide how much) and link it with your internal memory.
If you have still problems, you can quote me for an answer.
Good luck
Can you explain the process for link2sd, as xperia p doesn't contain SD card?
Root drive is completely full and now my Pixel is riding the struggle bus HARD. Which files/folders are safe to free up so I have more space?

Nothing, root storage is supposed to be like that. Don't touch it.
The problem with your Pixel has a different root cause.

It used to only be maybe 50-60% full. Over the last few updates it's been getting more full until now it's completely maxed out.
Can I move some system apps to internal storage, delete some stuff, or what?

As tom said, that's normal.
@ZzEzZ To add to what has been said, Google sets the partition to read only and, the way they do it, it's impossible to remove the read only status. To make it crystal clear, you cannot move a system app to internal storage and cannot delete anything from the system partition. You CAN uninstall updates to system apps however as those are stored in internal storage.
Given your issues, you may want to look into performing a factory reset. It certainly can't hurt and may help.
Oh interesting. Thanks y'all.
