I have a stock Android 6.0 tablet iBall Slide 4G. When I reset the device, it has 10 GB free out of 16 GB total. I have less than 10 apps on it other than stock Google apps. The problem is that as apps get updated, it keeps consuimg internal storage to such an extend that within a month it consumes total 10 GB free internal storage. Even if I clean cache etc. using clean master app, it does not clear more than 200-300 MB and internal storage is full. I have other Android 6.0 phones like CoolPad Note 5 etc. that have 16 GB internal storage but its memory usage does not exceed more than 1-2 GB even after updating all apps through out the year.
Because of my above problem in my tablet, I have to reset my tablet every month. Please suggest a solution.

Disable automatic Updates from play store.
And only install those updates which are necessary or critical to the apps.
To disable automatic updates
>Goto play store.
>Goto settings from sidebar.
>There will be a option of 'auto update apps', open this
option and select 'do not auto update apps'.
Hit thanks if helped.

I have reeder tab it makes log files. One of them is 35 mb and a month later it makes 100 of them. Your problem could be something like this. I think you should analyze storage. With this you can see which file takes how many storage. To do that I recommend es file exporer. Install es file explorer (recommend v4.0.2 from apkmirror.com) press navigate button choose sd card analyst. If this not work no big files go to settings apps check youtube, facebook, instagram cache some cleaner apps cant detect their cache. Clear them manualy.
Hope these work for you

Several weeks ago I installed the Avatarrom with Jelly Bean 4.2 on my Galaxy S2 I9100. At first I was very pleased with everything. It was much faster, and in many ways better. Since then I've installed two updates. I'm constantly running out of memory. I cannot read my Gmail using the default gmail app anymore (your device doesn't have enough storage space to sync). Updating apps in the playstore doesn't work (Insufficient storage available). I removed many apps, cleared the general cache and that of many apps, moved numerous apps to the external SD, and that freed up enough memory to get the rest working, but not for long. With the second update, things seemed improved and I could open gmail again, but only for two days.
I've installed the app DiskUsage. This reports the following:
App storage (system ram I suppose)
Total 2015 MB
System data: 1645 MB
Applications: 309 MB
Free: 60 MB
Storage card
Total 11781 MB
Free 4900 MB
Storage SD card
total 14972 MB
6700 MB free
If I remember correctly the system data was "only" 1200MB when installing the avatarrom. Now it's 1645MB. How can that be? My phone has 2GB system memory, and if I'm correct there are not many phones with more than that. So if it grows 200MB with each update, something's wrong, isn't it? Or am I missing something? Should I clear some other cache or download folder? Does the free space on the storage card make a difference? Can I increase the system memory space, like resizing a partition?

Clear the cache files occasionally, every app generates cache data like Chrome Browser can generate more than 100mb of cache over a period of time.

Many apps store data on the system /data partition, the only chance to get more free space in the standard way is:
- remove unused apps
- move apps and/or data to sd (but not all apps will alow that)
This should give you some additional free memory, but yes, I agree, the /data partition is a bit small.
Hey, my friend has the same problem.
I installed him 3 different 4.1 JB roms, but the problem is same in all 3 roms.
We did factory reset and also wiped phone in recovery mode, but it didn't help.
We also tried this with sd card in phone and without sd card with phone, no difference at all.
What should my friend do to fix this?
The Device Memory section at the storage page in setting displays that:
Total space: 1.97 GB
Applications: 1.23 GB
Available: 49.52 MB
Where did the 700MB gone?
This happens when I upgrade the Android from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2. I've installed less apps in 4.1.2 than in 4.0.4 (I wiped my phone before upgrade).
I tried to wipe dalvik cache which give only 10~20MB. How to freed the eaten device memory?
Also, strange enough, I've move many apps moved to sdcard but it seems their data are still remain in device memory. I check one large apps' info:
Total: 165 MB
Application: 100 KB
USB storage app 51.81 MB
Data: 113 MB
SD Card 0.00B
Does this mean 113MB data still in device memory?
EDIT:
I finally found out what take up the near 700MB space.
I delete all files in /data/lost+found/ freed 666MB.
I use an apps called disk usage to locate this.
Jelly bean takes up a lot more storage space than ICS for a start. How many apps do you have installed? I have about 60 downloaded apps installed (not including the pre-installed apps) & I have 0.97GB free in that partition. Do you have a few hundred installed?

In my App To SD in ZDBox (an integrate toolbox apps with app2sd, taskkill, etc function), I have 43 Apps in phone (only 8 apps movable) and 41 Apps on SD Card, not counting android component. But in the "All" page in Application Management in Options, I got 200 Apps including android components.
I don't know which is more trustworthy but no matter how, many large apps have been moved to SD Card. Even from the "All" page in Application Management which includes many android component, I manually add up the space occupied. It is just 1.25 GB.
Where do the 700 MB gone and how can I get them back?
By the way, how many disappeared device memory do you have, Hopper8? I mean when you subtract the sum of all components including available space from total.
Weird. From what I manually added up all apps in phone and sd card, its just 1.25GB.
But there are 1.23 GB of Application in "Device memory" and 1.66 GB of Application in "USB Storage" in Application Management.
1.23+1.66=2.89 GB >>1.25 GB
I am driven crazy.

Hmm. Without seeing what you're adding up, its hard for me to visualize. It does sound like you're missing some space though.
How did you upgrade to JB? Did you flash via odin? Or accept a Kies/OTA notification? I'm thinking that a full wipe is in order. First step is factory reset.

I did a Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Wipe Cache and flash [Stock Official Firmwares] I9100XWLSW (4.1.2) - United Kingdom (XEU) [05-06-13] with ODIN.
It's difficult to make a list of my apps but as for my adding up, it includes all data except cache of all apps installed on no matter device storage or external SD card. I also checked the apps' cache size with a system cleaner. Only 30 MB of Cache in total.
Do you have device memory not inside any categories (not even in Miscellaneous or System)? Strangely I just have one categories, Application, except available under Device Memory (or Internal Storage in some version) section at Storage in Options.
Hmm. And you have used a few different system cleaners and such to have a look at what's on there?
As for my listings for the storage usage, I've got available, apps, and cached data for my internal storage. Nothing else.
I really don't know if I can be of any other help to you mate if there are any other posters who can help, please do.

I've got the same problem. Running Revolt/JB ROM. But had the same problem with the previous ROM (AOKP/JB).
Storage tab in settings reports: total space: 1.97GB , Apps (app data & media.. : 0.95 GB, Available: 242MB.
So yeah. Android's using some fuzzy math here, or something isn't being reported properly.
I did a full factory wipe, no luck fixing the issue.
95 apps, rough count just flipping through the screens in the app drawer.

With >400MB of free internal space, I KEEP getting "INSUFFICIENT STORAGE AVAILABLE."
FULL TITLE: "I removed enough apps to have over 400 MB of available internal space. Why does my Samsung Galaxy Victory STILL tell me "INSUFFICIENT STORAGE AVAILABLE?""
---
I'm trying to clear out the memory to make sure my "FolderMount [ROOT]" app will install so I can finally move so many apps to my SD card and reinstall a LOT of deleted apps.
I feel my system is glitching, big-time. It's pretending that 400+ MB free space of ~1.73 GB available is STILL not enough space to install a 1.28 MB app.
Is there a System setting to enable me to change the "insufficient space threshold?" I hope I can change it to something like 2.5% instead of whatever high percentage it's set to now.

**UPDATE**: I cut-and-pasted ALL folders from SPH-L300/Phone to SPH-L300/Card. The "Android" file folder restored itself and I now see 404 MB free space of 1.83 GB on "Phone" in Windows, and 607.59MB (32.5%) available through AppMgr Pro III.
Strangely enough, I see "Total: 1.73GB and Avail: 507.25MB (28.7%) (emulated)" under where it says "SD Card" on AppMgr Pro III. (Note that in case you don't know already, AppMgr Pro III doesn't support moving apps to SD on my Samsung Galaxy Victory.)
Despite doing all this tonight, I STILL can't install new apps. *What else do I need to do to make it install new apps again?* And is there a space threshold editor that I can lower the settings on?
Try to wipe cache.
this is a very common problem with older versions of android,which version are you using?
Hi guys,
I bought a new tablet CHUWI VI7, with android 5.1.1
and i have a weird problem, the storage space is running out, now i have 156MB available.
but the funny part is this:
TOTAL SPACE: 3.60GB
AVAILABLE: 155MB
APPS: 792MB
PICTURES,VIDEOS: 488KB
AUDIO: 40KB
DOWNLOAD: 464KB
CACHED DATA:1MB
MISC: 23.42MB
TOTAL:817.404MB!!
every sec, 1 mb is gone...
i try clean cached via recovery, didn't help../
i do a full format from recovery and after one day this happens again.
i try delete every app i can and this is not helping .. i just download waze,google photos,google play services,youtube,rocket player and some small apps from play store.
i think is a virus that is build-in the tablet, but i can't do a root (what is published here didn't works for me..)
and i try to download a antivirus and it not find anything...
what should i do? please help me... this is nice tablet and it works good..
Same here!
At some point I only had Waze, Here Maps (with downloaded maps on External SD) and ES File Explorer, and I couldn't update any of the apps because of lack of space (less than 100Mb free).
I simply cannot understand why...

Yes, there is a bug in this tablet.
I have to root the device, flash it, and then all bugs are gone.
you can follow this tutorial on http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/mod-t3175515
I have the same problem on my Chuwi vi7 - I can't install apps because there is no space left.
I freed up a fair bit of space on Data by clearing the data used by various apps in Settings, but be careful which apps who's data you clear, or you might lose useful data. Apps that sync with your Google account can soon be restored by syncing again.
I installed Diskinfo from App Store (free). It makes it easy to understand why there is a shortage of space. You'll be able to see that Chuwi created a Cache partition which is 1.1 Gbytes and a Data partition (where the apps are installed) which is 3.7 Gbyte. Unfortunately my Data partition only has 9% space remaining, whereas the cache partition has 95% free!
A more ideal solution would be to either :-
1. Resize the Cache partition to give Data more space. That would require a rooted phone, a repartitioning app, and you'd be wise to backup the partitions before resizing them. I'm sure 500 Mbytes would be ample for Cache. Cache can be cleaned easily enough anyway.
2. Start moving Apps to an external SD card. There are several apps and tools around that will handle that for you. That will free up space on the Data partition.
Hope that helps a little. Colin
so i just reset my phone to the factory settings, and after unistalling and deactivating some stuff i noticed
that i should have like 1gb free, but i still have 500mb. What the hell?
Android System - 4,03GB
Apps - 1,09GB
Available - 571MB
i even cleaned cache, but i still don't see my 1gb anywhere, this is strange because when i bought the phone i could get 1GB internal storage
by doing the same. Is this a visual bug or something?
Here the same, but i have the same freespace with 8gb internalstorage. I guess its a bug.
Same here.
Had 7.5 / 8 GB used on internal storage. You'd think I could install 400 MB system update, but no, I had to free 0.5 GB more.
Same here...updated the phone just now. Had to clear cache for all apps and remove a lot.
I wish there was a root for locked bootloader so I could remove all this bloatware.
Edit: After the update I have 6,53GB free..? How did that happen?
