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.

I have received a "internal memory full"msg yesterday, with around 40 apps installed.
After moving most apps to SD card, ive still only got 100mb left.
When i check the internal memory status from Appsmonster, ive seen the internal memory size is only 500mb instead of 1gb! How much internal memory hv u got?

I believe the specs says 512mb of ram, and 1gb of ROM. What is the difference I don't know, but I"m sure it runs out of "ram". I don't know if we have access to the "rom". Hope it helps!

um.. I'm talking about Rom, not RAM. Internal memory is Rom. It should have 1GB ROM, but only showing 550mb...
Anyway, I've solved the problem, the logservice of Dell Venue keeps creating log files up to 2mb each each time I force close the apps, and therefore has eaten up all ROM! I've got to root it to clear these useless log files.
Oh, sorry, didn't know the phone had EXTERNAL ram...my bad. You see, my Venue has 512MB INTERNAL RAM and 1GB INTERNAL ROM. Where did you get your Venue from...???
I didn't mean to offend you and thanks for your reply. Anyway i've checked my friend's Venue and it's also showing 550mb, very strange indeed.

Mine is 550mb too.
Anyway, can you show me how and where to clear the useless log.
My fone is rooted but i can find any app to clean and dont know where the folder include these logs.
Thanks

Hi, can you tell me where log files are kept? Since I found out this issue, when Force Close happens, I choose Log to SD Card then I can delete manually. But for ones logged on ROM I don't know where.
My Venue rooted.
In the last week, i have lost 2 apps all of a sudden (Angry Birds and Splinter Cell). These apps were moved to the SD storage. After a reboot, the widget greyed out with a small SD on the bottom right corner. The apps disappeared from the 'Manage Applications' menu but the files remain in file explorer.
Does anyone know what this means? I havent done or install anything. Running stock KE7 with root.
Hey there, I have the same issue. I do not have an explanation, that is why I posted here, to find out when someone has a response. Thank you!
I am sure this has to do with the fact that the sgs2 internal memory IS an sd. Putting data on the external sd only messes stuff up. And hey, isn't 16gb enough?

Well actually for me is more than enough, but WHY should not things work as they are supposed to? And also, it's easier to keep stuff on external SD, just for convenience.
hey,
same problem here.

yes, 16gb is enough, at least for apps. the thing is i didn't copy anything, it just happend out of nowhere
I tried to copy some movies to external SD, everything seemed to work just fine, it took about 7-8 minues (not important), seemed as finished...and when I tried to find them and watch....NOTHING This is a very strange and unfinished phone. But I still like it
just to confirm this is all on the internal SD (11gb). I only have pics, vids, music on the microsd (external). So not sure why its disappearing
I can't seem to access all the internal storage in my Note. I know I have 16gb in total and plenty of free space left. But when I go to setting and look under storage I find two listing of internal storage. I'm not sure why I have two internal storages. This is apart from my external sd card. One of the storage is around 2 gb and the other one is 11gb. Yet under the 11gb it says I only have around 500 MB free even though I almost have nothing on my phone. Whenever I do a backup of my ROM I seem to run out of space. Can't take pictures anymore. So I can't even backup as I keep running out of space.
I thought it might have something to do with the rom so i switched from CM9 to CM10. No change. Now I'm using liquid smooth and it's still the same. Can anyone tell me why I have two internal storages? And why there's so little free space even though I barely have any data?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Please use the search feature... its has been explained quite a few times (by myself at least 3 times)....
Simple explanation:
In order to use the setup as-is (no major user changes), 2GB is set aside for /data and a few GB here and there for other partitions, the rest is for your personal storage... so data/system/cache/recovery/bleh is set aside and you get 11GB~ of usable storage space...
The end
Since everything by default of the FAULTY setup for Android phone devices these days saves to internal memory... your backup's of your phone, pictures, app cache.. app data... it all gets saved to that internal memory storage area... Use something like Solid Explorer and check it out to find out whats eating all your space and possibly clean it up or move some/most of it to your REAL /sdcard...
Thanks. That worked.
I deleted a bunch of stuff that was left over from the previous owner. Not sure why it was still there even though I formatted my memory when installing ROMs. Does this mean that it only formats the 2 GB internal storage? And not the one for my personal usage?
Also I tried searching for some more info on the split internal storage on the forums. Couldn't find anything. Would you please explain or give me a link that explains in detail the function of two internal storages?
Again, thanks for all your help.

The internal storage is not cleared by a standard wipe, IIRC, theres an option in the stock rom to wipe the internal storage but you have to chose it when performing the factory reset option!
OR when using twrp/cwm you have to manually chose to wipe the internal storage/memory...
Otherwise it all stays behind...
I cant find my good post about it... IIRC it was in the n7k forums somewhere... Ive made too many posts to sort through in the interim...
Heres a thread someone else made earlier a month or 2 ago where I posted with basically what I said above, there really isnt that much to expand upon:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909960
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?
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?
