Install SD Maid from the Play Store and run a corpse cleaner and system cleaner. Click refresh then clean, make sure you have all boxes ticked in settings for all corpses. Then tell me what you're moving to SD: Just the app, or app + data, or anything else? What kinds of apps, I expect games will have more stuff in /data/app because of libs and stuff, or maybe in /sdcard/data or /sdcard/Android/data so that may be why you can install big apps. Also just consider that you may just not have enough room.
Thanks

Widgets should remain in the phone memory. Everything else that doesn't run frequently should go to the SD card

Are you using the stock ROM? Apps that are in /system/app cannot be moved to the SD. If you installed it via downloading/installing from the market or somewhere else, you can move it.
Everything that feels like it should be launched no matter what or those that need to be started quickly on boot, keep it on the phone memory.

Yeah. m on stock.
did move sum apps to sd via app 2 sd enabler.
Cmon guys I thougjt it was safe to move all sh#t to sd
It's safe. It's just that apps that need to be started on boot must be there as soon as it can. Read and write speeds on the SD card is much slower than on the phone memory.
Well he didnt ask for fast boot
It's not about fast booting It's about getting the things you need as fast as you can. For example, I need a widget to load as fast as it can since it has to be there as soon as the phone boots. That was my point
Everything that you don't use everyday move to SDcard (if possible). If you move favourite apps to SD and you acces them all day long you will shorten the SDcard's life.
I have void with a2sd enabled. So all user applications are on sd. Can I use titanium backup to move some apps to internal memory?

I used Titanium to move a lot of stuff over to the SD from Internal... Stuff in the /system directory doesn't affect your phone's "Internal Storage Space" as reported in the Settings menu since /data and /system are separate partitions. Apart from /system apps, the only thing that I would want to move to the SD that it couldn't move was the PayPal App from the app-private location. Going into ADB wouldn't allow me to do it either.
Titanium also allowed me to uninstall a bunch of the **** that came installed like game demos. This did not free up additional storage space, with the exception of what it removed from Dalvik-Cache. Which, btw is going to be your biggest issue... Some ROM's allow you to move this to the /cache partition, but this is a relatively small partition (~56MB) on this phone and my Dalvik-Cache currently takes up ~90MB.
Pls reply here guys.

I used Titanium again and used it to incorporate the updated GApps into the ROM. I knew that I had about 56MB free on the system partition. Putting Gmail, Maps, Street view, Market and anything else that I could find freed 30MB on the data partition.

I'm not being funny mate but isn't this the most obvious thing, you clearly have too many files and you've like ran out of space, at least that's the way it looks, move some apps to external sd card or just delete..SIMPLES :laugh:
this happened to me before, apparently some apps after being uninstalled, still have some files left over, if you try to reinstall the same app, you will get the error.
check under the data folder for any remnants of the app you're trying to install, its likely that it left some behind.
hope this helps!
Thank you but the strange thing is that i have more than 5 giga empty in my internal memory!!!!!!!

Guys, sit back and relax. It is not important how much free space you have on internal or external SD card, but how much leftovers are still persisting in Data partition.
Easiest way to sort it out: use LuckyPatcher (please do not ask from where to take it), Start it, use troubleshooting, and choose Remove fixes and backups (insufficient storage available).

It happens when you have unused odex files in data/app
Can remove manually or use luckypatcher (on latest version it' s an automated process to check and remove unused odex at launch)
So simply run Luckypatcher and try once again
Hi there,
I've got a problem.
After I moved some apps to SD Card (using Link2SD or Titanium Backup), they are gone from home screen, app drawer list,and even in the list of installed apps they still missing. However, the files are still in disk but for some reasons, the OS cant detect them.
They only came back (to home screen and app drawer) after I perform Hot Boot.
Could you please explain why that was happening?
And how to avoid that problem?
I am using 4.1.2 Wanamlite XWLSW and Philz kernel 5.06.
Thanks,
I'm not really familiar with moving apps to other storages. But I'd recommend you to leave them where they are. Our SGS2 has storage for hundreds of apps. Plus they are slower if you move them and widgets won't work anymore.
Edit: Almost forgot about that: Big games automatically store their data on sd-card so there's no need to move them since the apps size itself is rather small
Move app using stock function setting》applications》select app》move to sd card
Send from my SGS2 I9100 with HassanROM and latest DorimanX 8.xx kernel

Thanks, but if I dont move them, my Internal storage will be empty and I cant do some of basic functions (ex: take camera pictures, download documents, take screenshots, etc). Moving apps gives me some space in internal storage (maybe around 100 MB).

I tried that but still doesnt work.
I tried using Link2SD and Titanium Backup, but after reboot normally, they are still gone. I tried Smart Launcher, but they stil didnt appear. Because they were listed as uninstalled. The files are there, but the system doesnt load them. Must still do hot reboot first before the system loads them.
I guess I'll take 1 example for disappearing app, this information taken from Link2SD (after Hot Boot):
Temple Run 2 Version 1.2.1 (on SD Card)

What actually Hot Boot does and normal reboot does not?

JB manages Memory in a diff way compared to ICS or GB, so its always better to have the apps where they get installed, rather than moving them to elsewhere and face trouble

just open settings>manage apps and under 'All' tab u can tap on the app and see whether u can move that app to 'sdcard' or not, if its there then u can do it else its better to leave it.
since moving apps to sdcard using third party apps from stores, will always bring issue's for u, rather than resolving the storage problem
Hi,
I am having this error whenever I try to install any app from play store. May I know the reason please, and how to fix it?
Try some anti virus.
In normal cases, there are only 2 reasons for this,
Memory full because of users own stuff (very rare)
Or because of a virus (most of the cases)
What is ur device model by the way???
In some old devices, apps installed on phone memory also occupies space and make this happen.
Remove bloatware from your phone. Maybe that will help.

Wipe data of Google Play Store.
Use Cleaner in Security app or use SD Maid by downloading 'apk' from Google. Else wipe data of play store
I did everything, still it didnt work
anything else?
Use this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage&hl=en
Send a screenshot of your disk usage, may not have space allocated to internal data where apps are stored, may have room on phone but space is allocated to something else

Here you go man!
I assume you are rooted as you are running miui, use the same app to check other partitions such as /cache
The way apps are downloaded from the play store there has to be some room there too, problem may be partition size
Also it may help running a logcat during the download process and follow the error
My phone is not rooted. I flashed CWM through Command prompt (some kind of program). Then I flashed MIUI from CWM.
When I looked for cache, it gave me this error (in attachment).
Try going into cwm and wiping cache and dalvik and also clear data in play store
If you can pull a logcat that would be great too
In my redmi note 3 32 gb...
There seems some misc files which are eating my all space...
I reset phone...
Clear cache thumbnails etc all...possible but still that taking space.
My phone is not rooted.
Pls give me solution to take back those space.
Ss added
This is miscellaneous files, is there because they're not music, video, pics or apps.
That means there are files in your internal stoerage that are taking up space. Look around inside your internal storage to see whats using the space
Checked all storage ....did not find that file....even deleting all things.
Clear your internal storage. Open file manager go to internal server card select all and delete

System data taking my 7 gb from remaining 24 gb.
While already mi told it's 32 gb.
Check screen shot.
Not showing inside system data...what is it?
I think its system partition, where all the files requires to run your phone are stored there.

Just checked my phone and I don't have the misc data (under settings menu), and I do have a system data partition but it's much smaller.,
so its either
oh see this post too.

misc files seems to be generated by the Camera app (I use OpenCamera, so that's probably why I don't have this "misc" data)
--------------------- other reasons -----------------
1. you are installing big APK files that don't use obb files (normally amazon app store uses these types, possibly other app stores), so all the big data gets written to the /data/data/ or /data/app dir taking up space.
2. system backups from twrp or similar can eat a lot of space. this could be why it's listed as system data
3. install sdmaid see if it finds anything abnormal.
4. (unlikely) you have a lot of apps installing to the "Internal Memory" - android thinks it's a sdcard - these apps are hidden under /mnt/sdcard0/.android_secure
(mounted with a fake mount point to prevent access, also a hidden folder) so you can't modify apps or view contents - try uninstalling apps to see if size changes.

It's asking for root to check system data folder.
Any idea or command that I can scan /data folder via adb command on pc?
I don't want to root currently.
Tried all but not able to find what is eating my all space...
Any why it's not deleted even after reset .
open the Camera app properties click force stop and clear data and clear cache, see if that does it, without root you will be unable to browse in /data/data

But deleting camera app data or cache did not help.

Now I think I can't find that misc without root.
So I leaved it until I root.
Now I watched some youtube videos and added my nano sim with sd card.
And able to use both dual sim and sd.
Moved some internal data in sd...atleast made some more space with the help of sd. ??☺☺

You must have enabled local storage backup. Delete it and you'll free up and lot of space.
Here's how you can delete it
