I don't know why, but there's something on my phone that took up 4 gb of the internal memory and I can't figure out what it is. But besides that, I downloaded Modern Combat on my phone (2 gb game) and was curious if there's a way to move it to the external SD card? Along with anything else to free up space on the internal memory? I know Apps2SD doesn't support this phone so I was wondering if there was some other way?

Folder Mount.
Your used space that you're wondering about is likely consumed by backups.

But I made sure that the backups made by TiBu were saved to my external memory.

And I can't figure out where to find the game in folder mount to move it lol. I know I sound like a noob.

Have you made any nandroid backups?

Go to settings-storage-then click on the items in the list to tell you where the data is being used.
App data is under data/data or data/media/0/Android/data or data/media/0/Android/obb. I strongly suggest you don't just cut and paste. It won't work at all.

Thanks for the app info. I will be adding that to my Rooted ME7 GS4. I want my games but don't want to waste space.

Hey guys I have about a gig of free space on my internal storage and close to 10 gigs on my SD and my phone keeps telling me to free up space when I try open the gallery. Any ideas?

If you're rooted and dirty-flashed a rom, you can get the same error. I had the same issue awhile back with a particular rom I flashed/upgraded. Hope that helps.

could be not enough room in the system partition due to the way some apps work?
just guessing but the space it needs might not be in the partitions you are looking at?
how can I view the internal storage on my phone? it says I have 9 gigs full but I don't know how to view it in astro

Okay I Love my dna but I'm am so mad there isn't an SD card slot and all my storage is being used up by some unforeseen ghost. I have 10 gigs of storage being used by, "other" and u have no idea where it is going to. My best friend has the dna as who with the same issue. I have 2 gigs of music, 1.5gigs in my downloads and 1 nandroid (1 gig). That is all I have put in my phone besides the apps and app data. If anyone else has this problem or any idea where my storage is going I would greatly appreciate some help

What's the total of the bloat on the phone? I don't think it counts the bloatware as app data.

Dude, check the data/media vs the 0 folder. You probably have quite a few duplicates in there.

Yeah if you've switched to 4.2 or 4.3 from 4.1.2 that's your problem best bet would be to format your internal SD card.

I dont want to lose all my music I've downloaded and I don't have a computer. Is there any way to backup my music besides Dropbox or play music?

No.
That's what I thought. So full wipe and then could I push my back up to my phone and restore it?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You should be fine doing that, also there is another way... Get a USB drive and an otg cable and back it up to the drive. Otherwise I would suggest using dropbox over play music, last time I checked when you redownload something from play music it doesn't necessarily download it at the quality it was before.

Maybe this is a noob question but I'm running low on space in my internal storage and can't figure out why. I ran sd card analyst inside of es file manager and can't figure or why it's low on space.

Already running out of space on my internal card. Any way to move the apps to the SD card without root? I've been show to root this time because I haven't found a great root method yet.

Nope... Welcome to Kitkat
Galaxy S5 does it...
I could of sworn the GS5 allows you to move the apps to the SD Card...
Folder mount gives you the ability to move stuff to the SD card , use pro for more than 3 mounts tho
