Hey guys
So for a while now I've been having problems with my internal SD card being overly full and I can't figure out why. Here's a pic of it:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have CWM installed and I know that takes a lot...but it seems as though it just seems to get more and more full even if I don't do anything. I'm using Camera JB+ to store pictures to my SD card, and all my music is also on my SD card, as well as my CWM backups.
Any ideas? I have tried clearing cache/dalvik after updating CM10.1 but it doesn't change much...
Thanks,
Elliott
What's that misc. over there? 9 GB of crap?
Looks like a bug, nothing in the cm thread?

I have no idea what it is...I've used the "DiskUsage" app but it's majorly confusing...
Install a storage app that can show folder sizes like Folder Size Chart or Storage Analyser etc. Then you can find out what is taking up space.
if you are on cm10.1 nightly then remove viber & lucky patcher if installed.
you might flashed 20130121 nightly... this may help you
see this & this
if this didnt help you go to CM10.1 forum and search there. u will definitely find solution

Go into system/log and delete everything. I got back over 1.3 GB on the 2 GB SD partition.
Thanks but I don't have a system/log folder It's really full now to the point where it won't let me take pictures anymore...have been using 3rd party camera to save to external_sd...but I like the original camera.

I use CM7 (nightly builds) and recently ran into a warning message about low internal storage, but I had about 2/3 of the total internal storage free (about 1 GB). Moving a couple of apps to the SD card made the warning go away but I'd like to know why the warning occurred when I appear to have so much space available. I can't just ignore it because sync stops when this warning occurs. Since going to a 32GB SD card is not a reliable option with this phone, I'd like to resolve the issue without resorting to wholesale transfer of apps to my existing 16 GB SD card. The screenshot below is my current storage after I moved a couple of apps, but the difference in free space now vs. when I was getting the warning is tiny.

I have had that also while getting apps from the market.. I ignore it and just try again and it works.. Don't know what the deal is.. I'm running pool party and glitch

this is a known issue on aosp based roms. if you check jt's posts here, you will find a post about /datadata being full, along with the fix. your /data partition is not full but another one, /datadata, is. as jt said, this will never be changed upstream, so either use the fix after every data wipe, or use less apps/move to sd all apps possible.
to confirm, open better terminal, or android term, and run df -h, look for /datadata, bet it's about %85 full.. Much beyond that you will start to get massive amounts of FCs, and it will make the phone nearly useless until you either use the fix or remove/move to sd some apps..
if this helps click thanks.
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

I just did what you said in your thread and it deleted everything on my internal SD Card...
Edit: Although I lost some stuff, it did fix my problem...

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....

Follow the first link in my signature and look foe a thread linked there about 4.2 and sdcards
I'm looking for a troubleshooting tip. My camera will snap a picture and the image appears in the gallery preview thumbnail in the camera app, but when I go to the gallery there is no trace of the image. What should I do to troubleshoot this? Everything appears to be working but the image is not saved.
I'm using Jelly Beans Build 10 ROM.
I'm sure you've done the obvious clearing data, permissions etc. If you use a file explorer are the images actually being saved?

Couple questions to ask.
1. Did you choose sd swap?
1b. If yes, when in camera app, does this show up? \/

I chose mostly default options. I didn't sd swap.
Which app should I clear? I've tried several including galeray and camera.
It will save to memory card, but not to phone.

did you stay with Beans stock kernel or go with one of the others? I currently am running no SD Swap and his stock kernel and just checked and can take photos that get saved to the internal memory card.
Just wondering if the other two kernels, since not built for our phone, might cause this. I never save photos to the internal card so never thought to look at this when running one of the other kerels.
Since this only happens when you try to save to the internal memory.
Edit*Should note for anyone else who reads my statement that the kernels are ported to work with our phone, but not written from our stock kernels source code.
Another idea. Have you tried to delete the DCIM folder on your internal and just let the camera make a new one with your first picture?

[QUESTION][GalaxyS2] Questions/Help with internal memory, customized ROM, "true" fact
(1) I need to completely wipe, remove, restore my phone to absolute stock. I am having some weird issues and want a "clean slate" to work off of. I currently have AJK (with custom initd and extweeks), cwm recovery, and cyanogen installed. I want all of it removed and want to start from scratch. What's the best way to accomplish this?
(2) upon completing Q1; I have a very small internal phone memory, somewhere around 1/2gb but I have a 32gb SDcard -- is it possible to format my SDcard to allow it to be used as "phone memory" so I can have more apps installed? I know there is the "move to SD" options, but this is not what I am looking for since this does not work for widget apps. Also I have a difficult time downloading apps without getting the "insufficient space" error via the play store during app installs.
I am so tired of having to uninstall apps just to install or test new ones. There has got to be a way to use my SDcard as phone memory
I have:
- 100mb out of 1.97gb on Internal Storage (/system)
- 7.82gb out of 11.36gb on Internal Storage (/sdcard0)
- 14.84gb out of 29.32 on SD Card (/sdcard1)

}
So even if I could combine /system and /sdcard0 to become /system and only have 1 sdcard partition would suffice
(3) is it possible to customize/package CyanogenMod to install NovaLauncher (remove/replacing Trebuch) and SwiftKeyboard (instead of AOSP keyboard), amongst other apps (I have the .apk files) so they are installed by default? Also removing apps like Apollo and DSPmanager.
(4) what are some custom scripts, init.d, extweeks, etc you guys are using that I should look into using to get the best performance, battery life, speeds out of the GS2?

Please look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914184, well it's said for MT6577, but it doesn't mean they can't be try to other type.. there are 3-option that worth to try..
My wifes device is stock/rooted. I've tried moving all the apps to the SD card that I can but it's still showing 4.16GB of apps in internal storage. What can I do to fix this and get everything on the SD card that I can? I have tried Link2SD but it only moves somethings. I just want all user apps, downloads and pictures to default to the SD card.
So, does anyone know how to moved everything to the SD card and make it the default storage location?
5.0.2 does not allow moving everything to SD card like previous versions. You can only move the main app, but all data still needs to be on internal. I had the same issue. I tried updating some apps the other day, and got the error of not enough space, so the only option was to uninstall some apps I hardly used. I'm back up to around 1.2 free. Another thing to do is clear cache a lot. I free up around 400MB each clean. I use two apps for that, and both work great. Apps2SD has more features, and you have to enable the cache clean notification in settings. Cache Cleaner does just that. You can even use CCleaner to see if there are orphaned files/folder that can take up needed space.

I just learned that I have the same problem: I moved several apps to the SD card and it's still showing that I have 1 GB of free space. However, when I check which apps I have in the SD card, link2sd shows that nothing's in external memory. Please check the images I attached to this post. The first one shows which apps I supposedly have in the SD card. The other image says otherwise.

I think this is because the device is rooted, I've heard xt1527 model has some issues with root binaries...
