I own LG L70 D325.
I am new to android and this bug has been bugging me for days!
I've tried:
-app cache cleaner, it worked for a while and then the bug came back again.
-setting my install location to external SD and transfer ALL my apps to sd
-market fix
-insufixer
-
None of them worked. Lots of forums suggested of methods using rooted phone.
I've reset my factory settings countless of times just to root my phone because I can't install towelroot becuase INSUFFICIENT STORAGE AVAILABLE. And everytime i successfully root my phone, iI'll have to reformat again just to download apps like root browser, catlog, lucky patcher, etc.
I've tried lucky patcher, deleted odex files and cleared the dakliv cache, which worked for a while.
Using catlog, i'd see this error for every app that failed to download:
08-31 12:19:26.613 W/ActivityManager(745): No content provider found for permission revoke: file:///data/data/com.android.vending/cache/gzipped/com.twitter.android-1279829649.apk.
So i used root browser to find the file but when I reach thr gzipped folder, i don't see anything inside. I'd want to delete it but I can't.
I even spent money on SD maid but still, can't find the file.
I also looked at my /data/app-lib/ but i don't see the residual files of the apps i want to download. So i can't delete.
Help please!!

If you are certain that you have enough storage on the internal data partition as well as cache partition, the most likely cause are existing files that fail to be overwritten or incorrect permissions.
SD Maids CorpseFinder (if rooted) can help in some cases (activate extra Corpse Filter in settings).
This is also an issue sometimes creates by LuckyPatcher.

I've even paid for SD Maids pro version and unfortunately, it still doesn't work.
I'll try swapping my internal storage with my external SD but I'll need a card reader. Will update soon. I hope to be able to find a solution while I'm still on vacation.

Hi guys, hope someone can help me, I have 2 problems stopping me from installing 75% of the apps I want on my tablet which I just updated to it's official JellyBean ROM. No one else has reported this problem with this tablet/ROM so I hope someone knows the solution.
1) with around 50% of the apps (paid for and free) I get the error "Couldn't Install on the USB storage or SD card" (see screenshot)
2) a lot of apps (Chrome for example) say they are not compatible, yet they were fine in ICS and they are fine on my JellyBean phone.
Number 2 I've seen before and been able to add an android.hardware.location.gps.xml file in to system/etc/permissions and it's work, but it's not working this time.
Number 1 has me really stumped, searching the net finds the problems on all sorts of devices and there's 2 solutions, neither of which work, one is to unmount the SD card and install, then remount it - I've unmounted & removed the card, but nothing (I have 16Gb internal memory too). The other solution is to delete any files called "smdl2tmp1" of which I have none.
Now I've tried wiping the cache etc, re-installing the ROM, doing factory resets etc but nothing is helping. I have also noticed that my internal memory isn't getting wiped each time and I cannot find how to wipe it.
The tablet has CWM recovery built in but it's in chinese, but I know my way around it.
I have noticed that if I install and load up Astro file manager it lists my storage options as this (click for screenshot)
Local Storage 1 (USB) - I have nothing plugged in to the slot
Local Storage 2 tries to point to external SD card even when it's unmounted or not even in (this still appears if I have nothing plugged in on boot too)
Local Storage 3 is my internal memory
Local Storage 1 & 2 allow me to open them but there's nothing in there and I cannot add folders etc (no errors, it just doesn't do it)
Please can anyone offer advice?
My tablet is pretty useless with hardly any apps installed on it.
can anyone help?
What tablet you running

My wife has an eLocity A7+ tablet (running Android 2.2 - rooted - stock ROM - with 4GB internal storage). She was trying to install an app and received a warning that the install could not be completed, due to lack of storage space. After checking, I was surprised to see she had 0.00kb of internal storage remaining. I removed all of her downloaded apps, cleared all app caches, and cleared her browser history. No change. I then manually deleted dalvik-cache to free up ~60mb, then did a factory reset and reinstalled her firmware with no further change in available space.
I happened to notice there were many remnants of old apps (e.g., folders, photos, videos, etc.) still existing on the tablet, so am now also wondering why the tablet was not fully wiped with the re-flashing and factory reset.
Is there anything else I could try to fix this?
Cheers!
it must be a hardware problem

Thanks for the reply, but I don't think it's hardware related... I could be wrong though. It seems to me the internal storage is just not getting cleaned (maybe a bloated database, cache, temp file, etc.). I've tried searching through the folders, but just can't seem to find the culprit(s). Is there a way to format / wipe the internal storage or the entire tablet before re-flashing??? I've tried a few apps that are supposed to help, but with no success. I'm going to try another (SD Maid) when I get home from work, but was hoping there may be some other tricks I coult try as well.
Fixed!!!

UPDATE: Fixed it with SD Maid Pro. Now I have 1.50GB free space. :laugh:
I have a big problem..
On the internal SD there's the folder Android/Data - there's another folder that I can't delete.
Reason I want to delete it is the fact, that there's something wrong with one of the cache folders.
Properties shows me size of 64.7GB (!!!!!) and there are some files with cryptic data names in it...
I tried everything: Root Explorer (phone is rooted with Wanamlite 4.1.2, v14.1), Formating USB Storage, Access from Recovery...
No way to get rid of this funny folder that is 5 times bigger than USB storage actually is
Any idea what I could do?
Thank you for your help.

I think this is a bug.... Do you have more than 70gb on the phone? How can you have a 67gb folder on the phone?
Use Clean Master (free on the Market) to clear space. Don't go deleting files/folders that seem large.

Hi - yes it is a bug - 67GB are impossible - the folder is on the internal SD (12GB space if empty).
Problem is that this folder "influences" phone functionality...from time to time my phone tells me that I don't have space left on the internal SD Card..At the same time Storage-Manager tells me that there are 7GB left..
After a Reboot phone works normal until this buggy folder is accessed by the system..then again "no space"..
That's why I would like to deleted the cache folder. But folder can't be deleted...I tried everything..just "format emmc" from recovery is left.
Any idea how I can access the folder an delete?
Also have the same problem. Tried formatting emmc and its still there. Everything works fine i just cant remove this folder.

Same problem here, anyone with any clues? Even tried formatting the entire data partition in recovery, still no joy.
It has been preventing me from installing a certain app, as the undeletable folder relates to a previous installation of it. I have been able to rename it however, and that's enough to get the app to reinstall.
Still got that annoying folder though!!

that is because you rom is missing factory test file.
My SGS2 has a variety of issues. Typical bootsequence: phone boots without mounting external sdcard. Writing permissions to internal sd works only after ~20% of the reboots. I mount external sd manually through menu option. After this step writing permissions to internal sd never works.
I used the app DiskUsage and noticed that a particular folder had files occupying tens of gigabytes. The folder was: /storage/sdcard0/android/data/com.ideashower.readitlater.pro/files/ril_offline/ril_assets/cdn3.sbnation.com/entry_photo_images , which belongs to the Pocket application.
(While scanning, the app goes to ~460% and warns that the filesystem might be cyclic or something similar.)
I already tried this and it didn't work:
delete folder/its files with ES File Explorer
delete folder with terminal (having superuser access)
delete folder via adb
I always got an error message saying I only have read access to these files. Changing the permissions doesn't work with either adb or superuser terminal. (This particular lack of permissions for these files is not the same as the lack of writing permissions to the whole sdcard.)
I did however just now regain writing permission to internal sdcard by freezing the Pocket app with Titanium backup (equivalent to uninstalling). This was inspired by the post by xtc399 above saying that

. I have also read somewhere else that the existence of folder(s) with tons of files creates the problem with writing permissions to internal sdcard, and my Pocket read-list is huge thereby downloading very many files to android/data/.
The big files are still there. Could it be a hardware problem in the memory? And it seems related to the permission issue on internal sdcard.
I had the same problem: I could not open the gallery and other apps due to insufficient space. On my 16 GB USB memory, I also found huge files (412 GB) that belonged to the Pocket app (former Read It Later), with cryptic file names. The path was: sdcard0/android/data/com.ideashower.readitlater.pro/files/ril_offline/ril_assets/...
I tried deleting the files and formatting the USB storage - unfortunately without success, as you all described. Then I found this solution which solved the problem:
https://marcowue.wordpress.com/2013/10/17/howto-korrupten-internen-speicher-sdcard-unter-android-fixen/
Following the instructions (in german language), i successfully used adb and the partitioning tool parted to reset the partion. The reason was a corrupt file system, which forced the USB storage into a read-only mode. To solve this issue, you will need a rooted device.
My Device:
I am using a Galaxy S7 SM-G930F 32GB Exynos running IronMan-Rom V1.2.0 and have TWRP 3.0.2-4 and the phone is rooted.
The Issue:
Something is using 13.85GB on my internal SD/Storage (see attached screenshots) I discovered this yesterday lunch time and have since spent a few hours on here and other forums across the inter-webs trying to get to the bottom of the issue. To try and discount and head off any none relevant data/answers related o the issue below is a list of what I have done so far -
Its no app cache related, because wiping the delvic and data cache from TWRP did nothing to change the other storage figure.
I deleted every scrape of data from the internal Storage/SD manually and also wiped internal Storage/SD from TWRP and no effect.
Its not app related and I have checked all my app caches and the 10 largest don't account for a fraction of the 13.85GB.
Auto update in the Google play has always been set to disable since I installed the ROM, so it not caching anything
I type *#9900# and deleted the dev/cat log, and this made no difference.
I tried SD maid, It found 2GB which I removed, didn't effect the internal storage and just broke google play services causing to it to constantly FC - utterly pointless app.
I have tried several other SD tools (SD tools, OneTool, CCleaner and numbers our SD manager type apps from the playstore to name a few) to try and ascertain what exactly is using the space in the internal storage and nothing so far has shone any light on the subject.
I have manually rum TRIM via Lspeed app and that made no difference.
DiskUseage (see screenshot) is showing it as 'System Data', but I am unable to browse or select it - and it doesn't make any sense its called that either.
My knowledge of linux is limited, but I am wondering if the internal storage is an actual drive and not a symbolic link to another location, if that's the case where is the other location so I can see if I can clean out the phantom data from there.
Doing a factory reset does indeed remove the 'phantom' 13.85GB of data, but I absolutely do not see why this extreme measure has to be taken. There surely has to be a reasonable explanation and fix for this?! As I would prefer not to have to spend a chunk of my weekend setting up my bloody phone all over again due to have to factory reset.
So while doing another search on the playstore for tools to help me, I found a tool called 'Diskinfo' and this showed one of the mount names for the internal storage as /Data. I then reinstalled TotalCommander, did a properties check on that folder and found 17.GB of data in that folder. So am gonna painstakingly go through that folder to see if there is one that roughly matches the 13.85GB mentioned in the OP.
I then found the mysterious phantom data, it was all the files I have placed into 'privatemode' So as I now understand it (privateMode), instead of just encrypting the data where it was on the external SD card, it moves the data to the internal storage/SD card. So I will be looking for an alternative app to private mode.
Hey. I'm having that issue with a costumer. I would like to know how you erased and/or solve that problem. Thank You and very helpful info.
Eventually found file '0' using an app called SD Card Manager - Samsung Tab A Android 5. Removed 4gb of data. Excellent!
I seem to be having a similar issue on my s9, I've only had it since early February this year. My apps is only 10gb, and I have ~34gb of files that on there, yet my 60gb is nearly full
Can someone help me, please??
I have an Edge phone that has almost all of my Internal Storage gone!
I have 64.00 GB and 19.62GB is taken up by "Apps", how do I fix this??
I'm not using that many Apps, so I don't understand why this is happening....please help!
Ok so what if you are not using private mode? How do you remove this data without doing a hard reset? I can see it on my disk but can't get rid of it? I have never used private mode on my phone before, used CCleaner and there is still about 17 gigs worth of **** stuck on my phone.

Hello, i have the same problem. Have you been able to recovery/find that data from the privatemode? My brother's S7e is on some Note8 rom and i can't find anything 'private mode' in the Settings. He has 300mb free of 24gb and literally not a single picture on his Internal storage.

Just do a search in setting for 'private mode' and disable it, at some point your brother has enabled to password protect some files on the device.
More relevant info here - https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/what-is-private-mode-and-how-do-i-use-it/
All this is happening to me and my private mode is off. I literally copied and pasted all of my files from my phone storage onto the computer to relief the size, again, plus the CClear app, and the dent released around 2gb.
12gb is used on a 32gb phone, removing everything it is at 29.2gb maxed out.
This is nuts...
I clear my phone out every couple of months. Images to keep on the computer, removing unnessisary things. Private mode has always been disabled... What do I need to do?

Is there anyway to recover it??
Hi,
I have a stock LG LM-X410ASR (Xpressions Plus) that came with Android 8.1.0 installed. I installed a 32 GB SD card and installed a bunch of apps. On this phone, if you go to Settings/General/Apps & notifications/App info, you can tap on an app tap on "Storage," and then "Change" storage from internal to SD, if the app allows it. I did this for every app that would allow it, except for some that run better from internal storage, or whose widgets won't work right unless they remain on internal storage.
I've had this phone since the weekend after Thanksgiving, having bought it on sale at Wal-Mart. Since then, it's been performing well, until today.
I have Nova Launcher installed, as well.
I was updating apps in Google Play, and Castbox didn't want to cooperate, so I cleared Play Store cache and rebooted the phone. When I rebooted, I saw a lot of grayed-out shortcut icons on my home screens. DriveSync also had a failed sync. When I went to DriveSync, it wanted me to find the root of the SD card, again, so it could have permission to write to the SD card. When I tried to enable this access, I could see the SD card, but the hex name was not visible and DriveSync did not accept my selection.
Neither Astro File Manager nor the native file manager app would allow me to copy, move, delete, or create files on the SD card any longer.
I have rebooted the phone multiple times, and have been paring down my apps in preparation to do a factory reset, hoping this will solve my problems. Each time I've rebooted the phone, a different selection of apps was grayed out or missing.
At this point, I'm not sure whether I have an SD card problem or a hardware problem with the phone. I would like to find out so that I can replace the SD card or file a warranty claim with LG.
Would a factory reset followed by installation of apps that can be "changed" to SD storage, changing the storage location, and rebooting the phone be sufficient, or should I try this with a brand new SD card installed?
Thanks1
