Storage problem - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hey,
everytime I change ROM I see there is too many information that stay... after a wipe reset, pics stay, etc.
Now I've delete pics with my hand etc. but after that still only 18go available on 29 (I just install now LIneageOS)
How really delete all the files not important ?

The android system takes up huge space on the internal storage. Sometimes upto 8 GB. That's a little problem eith custom roms. There's really nothing you can fo about it. Use a SD card

Clear memory from phone?

Hi
I just transferred ALL pics and movies from phone memory to my external card thats 8 GB.
Still it says my phone have 6GB free of 11GB..
So 5 GB are used on what??
Have tried cache cleaners of many kinds but they dont delete much..Maybe 5 MB.
So im wondering why the phone memory take so much GB when im not able to see it anywhere.
Under phone i have a lot of folders,but it dont seem like they are big.
Whats the best thing to do to get more memory on the phone?
Formating?
Well I don't know what you want but if you press *2767*3855# then the phone will do a Factory Reset (All data on Phone memory will be wiped clean, setting and other stuffs too). Remove your SD Card before doing it.
Regards.

Ok.Just think its strange the phone take 5 GB on nothing i can see..
What happens to my backup i made on CWC?
And is this the same kind of factory reset i do in settings-private-?
I can reset to factory there to..
Cache is stored on the data partition not on the sd card so that won't help. Have you already rebooted and check the (hidden) files/folders in /mnt?
2GB for the system/user data.
And loads of other small partitions for cache's, boot loader, modem, etcetc.
Also look at this thread which has all the answers you want.

MIUI on Sgs2 please help me!

Hello all!
I installed the newest version of Miui ( MIUI 1.12.9 ) and i got some questiont..
Its all fine but i got one problem, i cant find my apps i had.. i did a factory reset in cwm and all but i didnt wiped my sd card.. my memory sais that there is 4GB of 11GB free so, my sd card still has the data in it, but it seems that i can not access on it? Someone had the same problem or do you have a solution?! please i dont know what to do.
Thanks for all answers!
you cant expect the apps to be there when you dont do a backup...the files on your sd are not the apps...that are just the files the app creates...you had to backup them with titanium backup for example...all you can do now is to download the apps from market...i guess it should work then.
jesh, that works i tried it, dl an app from market installed it and worked.. but ok, how to wipe my sd card?? and why i cant copy my contacts from sim card? and is there no app drawer?? or only the homescreens? thanks

You have to install app again..becoz /sdcard only stored data
sry im not miui user i cant tell you that much about it...if you wanna wipe sd either you can do it through settings or you simply delete anything on your sd card...and miui has no appdrawer...if you want that download it seperatly...google for miui sites and read a bit then youll find what you want to know
MIUI doesnt have an app draw, it has home screens much like you would find on iOS.
If you want and app draw and MIUI you would need to use a different launcher (ADW,GoLauncher,ect).
As it has been answered already, the files in your sd card are only files used by the applications. However i have noticed when i used MIUI for a while that some apps would install to the sd card and need to be moved manually.
From memory so it might be wrong, go in to settting and go to storage and there should be an option there to mount/unmount internal sd card, you should be able to format it from there.

[Q] help with camera problem!!!

Hello all, i have a small (big) problem with my camera on my phone (S2 obviously) but what happens is when i go to use the camera it says "your SD card is running out of space.

Is it trying to store it on the internal SD card? I think your ROM might be bad, what ROM are you using?
There is not enough infomation in there.

[Q] device storage showing minus when trying to open gallery

My i9300 is nealy unusable. The first sign of trouble was a error message trying to open gallery on 4.1.2. I then flashed latest omegarom after wipeing everything didnt solve the problem just gives a better description.
"There is not enough space (-5371MB) in your device memory. Delete some files" In settings the internal storage has 5.36GB free. I have been trying out a few different roms over the last few days but have always full wiped.
Now a lot of my apps force close on launch. How can my internal storeage be showing to some apps as a minus but the system gets the correct free space. I did have a play around with ExtDs2InternalSd v5 but decided to to swap back.
Hope someone can help me..Thanx in advance..

Then this is your problem did you follow proper uninstall instructions for ExtDs2InternalSd v5 >> If you want to remove the mod with a file explorer with root ability, delete the file 11extsd2internalsd from etc/init.d folder <<
If that does not work you will need to flash new rom and full wipe..

Yes thats what I did when I decided to go back to internal memory and everything was ok at first. I have since flashed omega rom with a full wipe but same problem and all roms since. I have checked Inside the ect/initd folder and that file is gone.
Thanx for the help any other ideas?

Yes back up internal and external sd cards and format both..make sure you format any ext2 partitions on your external sd card with minitool partition wizard or equivalent formatting tool.

Loss of internal storage

Hello, I got a major problem with my phone.
I tried to root it, it has bootloop. So I unbricked it directly by flashing b121. After that once I've reboot my phone, it makes many secondes to recognize my Sim card, like 30-40 seconds. More problematical, I can't install all my apps and why? Because I've loss a lot of internal storage. I have a 16Go Honor, I've got now only 4Go. Anyone already see that? Any fixes?
Sorry if bad English, I'm French.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/help/bootloop-updating-to-b180-fastboot-t3317249
That is speaking about how to fix bootloop, would it fix my problem too? Because I think nobody mentioned a loss of memory in the thread you gave me, may I didn't see it?

Usually messed internal memory is due to wrong partition. And partition is linked to bootloader.
Remove your microSD and try to do the same steps as described. It will wipe your phone clean to a old and stable ROM. It can be considered as a low-level format. It has to fix it, because the other (very unlikely) option is corrupted memory.
