Anyone know how to free system storage memory - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a problem with system storage memory. I don't know why its full all the time, sometimes I can't install apps because it says insufficient storage. Whenever I uninstall application it gives me more memory but when I update apps it takes away memory.
Does anyone know how to fix or somehow free this system memory storage?
I attached screenshot of the about screen on settings from my phone and screenshot of the storage.

Internal SD card problems won't be picked up!

OK so basically I went from gingebread to jellybean by going to ICS in between. Whilst on ICS I noticed that the internal SD card wouldn't mount and in recovery it showed all of the file folders that there should have been but nothing in them. Now I'm on jellybean its the same. Is there any way to get it back to normal without going to stock?

check in file explorers for EMMC that will be your ext sd, if it shows up that way, look for an app on xda called RemountSD that will make your ext sd be shown as ext sd instead of emmc

I just get this.
OK what's happened is that the two files that I put on the external SD card are in download and nothing is in the external SD card file. I just need my internals back.

Update: I can't take a screenshot of notifications but that other screenshot I took, in notifications under the screenshot it says SD card is currently in use and shows a USB symbol although my phone is charging from a wall socket.

Try...from that screen press favourites, hopefully your get this (screenshot)
then press the phone icon and hopefully your get (2nd screenshot)
from there hopefully your find all your stored ext sd files in the emmc folder. If that is the case the i would recommend finding the RemountSD apk on xda, it saves alot of confusion finding your files

This is what I get. There was 2 lines more but thy were nothing.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Only thing i can suggest is if its nothing is in your extSD folder in that area then as a long shot, try fi ding and using the RemountSD app, do a search on the xda forum, it should be easy to find, once its installed tell it to remount and hopefully that will solve your problem and everything will be found on ext sd
this is the link to the app, hope that helps

Thanks for the help but the apo didn't do anything because I think the locations are wrong. I'll try reverting back to stock gingerbread or ICS later...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
No probs, hopefully someone will be able to help out more, i've not used any JB roms yet, if your looking for something custom but close to ICS the neutrino rom is quite good, comes with the remountsd aswell, i've not had any probs so far over the last month or 2 using it

Try ics sd binder first and see if that helps

Ok if it helps when i go into storage instead of internal sd card it says usb storage.

Can you access it from recovery, mounts and storage and back them up to a pc. Not practical but at least you might salvage your pics.
Also I used ICS SD binder with no problems, you have to change the file path from emmc to extSdCard though otherwise it won't find it.

Apparently all it needed was a factory reset/wipe data.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Edit I was wrong. Basically I wiped and rebooted into f1 pure gnex rom. Went into camera and behold my 500 pictures were there but all blank. I then rebooted again and they all disappeared.

Go to root explorer.. go to system/data/app and delete the odex file corresponding to the app you were installing(which couldnt install due to low space).. the odex file you want to delete will have name same as the app plus odex..

Play Store Installs Error

When I try to install apps from the play store it says I have insufficient storage space. I am using beans 11 with sdcard swap. Accoring to the setting storage page I have more than enough internal storage space. How can I correct this?

Are you playing a game called "Wild Blood" (it had a bad habit of making huge save files which ate up a lot of my memory) and have you tried clearing cache, cache files are generated every time you use certain applications, for example Chrome browser may generate more than 100mb of cache data .

Telling me I don't have enough storage but I do.

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
