Hey guys. I've found most of my phones memory is taken up, but I can't work out what is filling it all up! Sure there's system requirements, and apps and cache. But after that there is 7.51gb for miscellaneous storage and I've only about 1.5gb free, yet when I click on it and see the list the totals only add up to about 2.5gb used. This about equals what I got using es file Explorer to add up the totals.
I have no idea what else is using up my memory. Does anyone else have a clue what to look at? I really don't wanna do a full system and SD card wipe and start again. Thanks for any advice

Did u just flashed a 4.2 or above rom from 4.1.2?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I'd been swapping roms for while, usually with a wipe data but not necessarily with a format of the sd card. Have been on justarchi's NA7 stock for about a month straight now, feels like I'm in FA (flashers anonymous )
Maybe I'm in a situation where I just need to wipe the buggery out of it, flash the rom I want again (been thinking of changing) and see what happens.
I'm not tech wizard, but it seems strange that I can't find what is taking up 5gb of space! There's no music or photo's on it, my Ti Backup is 1.57gb and then my rom file is 810mb. After that that biggest thing on there is 40mb.

After a recent rom flash my apps would no longer install saying that I had insufficent space. I've looked aroudn my device and it appears there's plenty of available space however I don't know if there's something I'm missing or if it may have been a bad flash? I tried reverting back to a backup and I continued having the problem.
Thanks

I think you had a bad flash id suggest you to go to recovery and flash the same rom you're using and see if it works and if it doesnt try odin and thats 100% sure thats goin to fox your problems and if you continue to have the same problem then the rom if the one thats giving you troubles... if it is try flashin another rom such as trigger..

It's funny that you would say go to Odin because that's what I eventually resolved to do and....bricked my device. Thank you for your advice though it's been quite valuable for future applications!
Nice screenshots buddy! That helps. Can you open Root Explorer and go into /system and take one? In the top left you should see used space and free space available. What kinda numbers are you getting?
*EDIT* I added my screenshot

Why does he need to know how much space is left on the /system partition when that's not a "writeable" area? If anything, it's the /data partition he should be doing this to.

Do it to both, LOL. I'm pretty sure mine is read/write tho thats why I paid for Root explorer I think? My screen shot shows it as r/w and I can mount it as r/o if I want but I kinda like it being writable. Now I'm cunfused and my head hurts. Time to, "Fire it up!"
*EDIT* I added my screenshot of /data I thought I had alot of free space in /system but jesus!
I have a very similar problem, but mine said that the application can't be downloaded and I have to check if I have enough memory in/system. I can't find any answer to this as well.

Parusia, use an ODIN pit file and stock firmware and see if that will re-partition the phone. If it still will not, PM me as I can fix this with JTAG.
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.

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....

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:

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?
Sent from the little guy
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'm running mean bean 3.09. My phone says all of its storage is full and I can't figure it out. I hardly have any music or media files. I click on the "make more storage option" but don't see any solutions. Actually that makes it much more confusing. Does meanbean see file systems differently? Anyway to find out what is clogging up the phone? Maybe files are redundant in multiple places?

Are you using ota updater? Have you deleted all your downloaded ROM's? Have you used a file explorer to look thru your folders? Something is taking up space.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I have deleted the ota downloads and using file explore I don't see anything over a few mb in size. All the DCIM storage is on my external card.

Were you on any AOSP ROM's before? Have you done a wipe on your internal storage at all recently? Have you been doing dirty flashes? Have you been flashing a lot? Doing any restores?

I've only had that problem after flashing many AOSP ROM's and going back and forth from sense to AOSP. Just backup your files onto your external, wipe internal, move back, and then you should be fine. If not then you'll just have to do a clean install and wipe internal before flashing again. I did that with a restore with no issues.

Almost identical storage situation
Running the same MeanBean version, no AOSP ROMs, deleted OTAs, etc. When looking with Disk Usage type apps I'm still not finding what is taking up all the space. (I have plenty free on the external card.) Need to find what it is categorizing as "Other". Now I'm wondering about old email..
Any help would be appreciated. I have more than enough storage space to spare a 100MB game download. Running a Rooted S4.

How much internal space do you actually have?
You can try clearing data/cache on Google Play Services / Play Store. Rebooting and seeing how that treats you. Or grab Disk Usage from the play store to see exactly how much storage you have left and what's using it.
Either you really don't have the space or its just one of them buggy things where hopefully clearing data will fix it.

Cleared data and cache and same error pops up. Disk Usage shows I have over 4GB storage to spare so I don't see a reason why this would be happening

Try going into /system/app or /data/app and look to see if the game or app your trying to download is there and delete it. That's worked for others. Is It only with this app?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
Yeah I've tried that already before and there is no apk whatsoever for that app in /system/app or /data/app. It's only this app that's giving me issues. I installed another app and it worked fine after I got this error.
