In the device memory, despite the memory of 414MB used by applications (out of 2GB) ,the available is only 505MB.
Where is it gone?
Big question is "How can i get it back?"
Additional - ICS 4.0.3 (I777UCLE5) ,Rooted
EDIT : I found in root explorer, /data/log has occupied 514 MB (of the 2 GB device storage).
Is it an important folder or can i just delete it?
Ok you mention memory. Are we taking about memory or STORAGE space? ?

That's strange, did you repartition anything? I would also not depend on the information you get from touchwiz. Try installing a 3rd party app to verify this is the case.

Look at the contents of the folder. If there are only logs - you can delete (the logs, not the folder). If not - post the contents here (filenames and respective sizes).

I went ahead and deleted the folder.....
I got much storage back. 1.2GB free now.
( After reboot it formed a new "log" folder without any log files....)
I found other folder "data/lost+found" consuming nearly 350MB.Can i delete this one too?
So in the end, what did we learn from this? Search through your phone with a file explorer app and delete anything unnecessary. Don't know if its important? Google the file name or directory name. I'm sure someone somewhere has wondered the same thing be4 you did. I'm glad you got your issue resolved bud. Good luck, happy flashing.
I'm not going to delete the "lost+found" folder.1.2GB is suffice for me now.Why mess-up?

I just tried to copy new maps.apk into my sys/apps and it tries then tells me there is not enough space! When I go into settings apps have 129mb free on internal but root explorer reading 5.45mb free in system!!
Is this something to do with custom kernel (ZombiePanic v1.63) or permissions
The internal memory is shared between storage and RAM, if you've got alot of programs/widgets loaded then it may not be free. Check 'running services' and it will tell you how much free memory is left.

Running services says have 35mb free?? Anyways thanks for the response obsidian_eclipse will just install maps another way
What app do you use to copy the file? Try a different/better one like Root Explorer.

use titanium backup to see free memory systems ROM, because here the application system. why not install it? because it will be installed in internal memory.

You are talking about two different things. Internal storage is in /data not in /system
Yea I just used marked enabler and installed maps via market, just going to ignore systems folder as its free space size does not change when I install or delete things from it... as long as standard installations work will be happy

Hi all,
Hope your well.
Im having the same issue too when trying to install apps. Exactly the same message. just over 6GB available in storage.
Im trying to install friendcaster no luck.
Tried to install you tube too, no luck. I have checked data/apps and I have no Odex files in there. Also, I have not installed friendcaster before on this phone therefore there will not likely to be any odex files for that app.
I am on Omega Rom, which is deodexed.
Btw, where is internal storage gone? only see SD storage and ExSd storage.
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks guys

Having odex files is the issue that comes to mind but if you have checked it and there isn't any related to friendcaster then u should try wiping cache n dalvik to see if that works.

Salaam bro.
Thanks for your response.
This may sound silly but I was trying to think back a few days ago if I had made any system like changes to my phone. I then remembered that in one of the settings menu in Rom Toolbox, there is an option to choose where to install apps. Auto,internal or SD card. I changed it from Auto to SD,thinking (logically) it would save internal storage. It turns out (so far)that this was the issue. I changed it back to auto and then I was able to install the app. Wierd I know. Im confused. I hant tried to install anymore apps yet so not sure if this is sorted for good but will keep an eye out.
Once again thank you for taking time out to respond.
Btw, all the best for Ramadhan!! (next month!!)

I rooted my phone yesterday with casual, twrp all that stuff. I had installed a few apps to explore the perks of being rooted. I had backed up with twrp. Looking at my storage and noticed a large amount of memory used in my miscellaneous section. So I went into it and deleted everything....I think thats where I messed up. My phone still works fine. Just no photos. I had very important pictures of my son on my phone. I tried using a recovery app.root to recover them but it said I had no FAT files. Any help on what I can do will be greatly appreciated

I've read in elsewhere that miscellaneous storage is actually the aggregation of various types of files including media. So if you were able to delete miscellaneous files then perhaps that's why you would have deleted the photos.
Ok. Do you know if there is a way to recover those deleted files?

Undelete for Android is an application for root users that allows you to recover any deleted files from your SD card or internal storage. LOOK IN "UNDELETE" FOLDER FOR FILES. With support for over 1000 file types, ...
Tried that. Got an error message on startup after grant root permissions. It said it appears I have no FAT file system storage and if I know I do then I can send log to them and after I hit ok it exits out of the app...

I would suggest you send the log to them. I would check in their release notes to see which "FAT" formatting they support. Some may support exFAT while others may support FAT32. Depending on how you're formatted, you may or may not meet their spec. I know this is always a big issue for kernels as well, as some kernels can recognize ext2/3/4/5 and FAT32 but not exFAT.
Hi,
I am experiencing a problem, please if anyone can help.
When I tried to open QuickPic, there is a popup saying that "Not an Error. Unable to Read/Write in Database" something like that.
When i try to open Gallery, I can't even open the app. It says memory full, delete some application, etc.
When i take a screenshot via power + home, it says Unable to save screenshot, try delete some space etc.
When i try to send a image over whatsapp it says cannot preview image.
I have plenty of space in my internal and external sd card, i have cleaned the caches, wipe app data etc, fixed permissions in recovery but no luck.
Any other solutions?
I am on Neat rom 4.8 lite. Thanks
Solved
Okay i found the problem, basically i connected my s2 to a tv via usb to play movies, the tv installed a corrupted read only folder on my internal storage, not sd card, which was the culprit, after deleting that folder with the unlocker application on pc sorted the problem out. Thanks everyone for helping.
Backup entire sd card (internal + external) to pc then in cwm format sd card internal+external and restore files back

Before you do anything could you post a screenshot of your settings->storage->Device Memory, I just need to confirm whether it's a bug or something.
Edit:After looking at that we could probably fix the problem.

Hmm so it's some kind of bug, could you open files and create folders and files or basic cut copy paste operations using file management apps in your sd card?
Edit :try both the stock and third party apps.

It may be a bug i am not sure, I can create folders and do cut paste actions. I also just now restored a nandroid backup of previous rom which was working fine, but the problem still persists.
I guess i will have to do a clean install of a rom again from scratch? any other possible precautions to take before i start this process? thanks

Use a nuke script perform a complete wipe data/cache/dalvik, restore rom.
Edit : The precautions are the usual things which you did when you flashed neatrom. You will have to backup everything in a computer though . After the wipe just mount the sd card via recovery and copy your backup back.

It could possibly be the problem, if the device drivers got corrupted due to that usually a reflash could solve the problem, try flashing with several different roms and kernels if this ain't anything at hardware level it should get fixed.

Did you use ES file manager to delete?
It moves deleted ones into trashbin or something similar like that. You should look for that folder and empty it, or just disable that function.

I have had this issue on my g4. Somtimes will take a few min to reflect changes. Also some folders will not disappear until rebooted.
i always chalked it to a bug in the system . Have you tried any other apps that read disk space?
