Did you use ES file manager to delete?
It moves deleted ones into trashbin or something similar like that. You should look for that folder and empty it, or just disable that function.

I have had this issue on my g4. Somtimes will take a few min to reflect changes. Also some folders will not disappear until rebooted.
i always chalked it to a bug in the system . Have you tried any other apps that read disk space?

I just tried to copy new maps.apk into my sys/apps and it tries then tells me there is not enough space! When I go into settings apps have 129mb free on internal but root explorer reading 5.45mb free in system!!
Is this something to do with custom kernel (ZombiePanic v1.63) or permissions
The internal memory is shared between storage and RAM, if you've got alot of programs/widgets loaded then it may not be free. Check 'running services' and it will tell you how much free memory is left.

Running services says have 35mb free?? Anyways thanks for the response obsidian_eclipse will just install maps another way
What app do you use to copy the file? Try a different/better one like Root Explorer.

use titanium backup to see free memory systems ROM, because here the application system. why not install it? because it will be installed in internal memory.

You are talking about two different things. Internal storage is in /data not in /system
Yea I just used marked enabler and installed maps via market, just going to ignore systems folder as its free space size does not change when I install or delete things from it... as long as standard installations work will be happy
Hi,
My gf has a galaxy s2 and it shows low on space for the device memory. Weird thing is it shows the apps are taking 200mb space, but there is only few mb left out of 1.9GB. I deleted some apps and moved them to sd card. It opened 100mb of space. But again in quite short time it went down to less than 2mb free space. (Without doing anything)
Its usb storage and sd card has quite a lot space.
I'm suspecting some malicious application, but none seems like that. I'll probably do a factory reset. Before that is there anything I can try?
I tried downloading lookout security, but although it's a 4mb app and I had 10mb free at the time, it said insufficient space and did not install.
Have a read of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589970 and see if it applies to you.
I must have missed this one. Thanks a lot.
Though its not mine and don't want to root it. I'll try to find a workaround.
Guys thanks i read this forum..
I had the same issue my S2 is rooted so i was able to sort out and delete the dump files
I noticed that the dump file date is everyday with 438kb each how so I was getting this?
I had to delete 2000+ dump files is this some sort of malware?
I was suspecting an app doing this, I will post the actual screenshots of the file maybe you could do something about this..

Could you please tell the location of the dump files? Or how did you go about deleting them?

I use FX Explorer> System Root > Data > Log
Delete the log folder to save you time from deleting the dump file one by one
then just create another folder and name it as log.
hope this helps.
In the device memory, despite the memory of 414MB used by applications (out of 2GB) ,the available is only 505MB.
Where is it gone?
Big question is "How can i get it back?"
Additional - ICS 4.0.3 (I777UCLE5) ,Rooted
EDIT : I found in root explorer, /data/log has occupied 514 MB (of the 2 GB device storage).
Is it an important folder or can i just delete it?
Ok you mention memory. Are we taking about memory or STORAGE space? ?

That's strange, did you repartition anything? I would also not depend on the information you get from touchwiz. Try installing a 3rd party app to verify this is the case.

I don't think so.
He need DiskUsage.
Just download from play.

Look at the contents of the folder. If there are only logs - you can delete (the logs, not the folder). If not - post the contents here (filenames and respective sizes).

I went ahead and deleted the folder.....
I got much storage back. 1.2GB free now.
( After reboot it formed a new "log" folder without any log files....)
I found other folder "data/lost+found" consuming nearly 350MB.Can i delete this one too?
So in the end, what did we learn from this? Search through your phone with a file explorer app and delete anything unnecessary. Don't know if its important? Google the file name or directory name. I'm sure someone somewhere has wondered the same thing be4 you did. I'm glad you got your issue resolved bud. Good luck, happy flashing.
I'm not going to delete the "lost+found" folder.1.2GB is suffice for me now.Why mess-up?
Hello
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 Android version 4.3.
I had 200+ pictures in my internal storage DCIM folder. I didn't update the firmware or anything and all of a sudden all my Camera files are gone.
The files gone are the ones taken with my phone camera, other subdirectories inside the DCIM folder are perfect.
Anyone knows why this could happen and how to recover the files?
Thanks in advance

Do you have root acces or do you flash a costum rom before the problem appears

Than I can not help you sorry.
But if you get root acces go to data/media and check if your photos there if yes than move it from data/media to sdcard. Thats all i can do for you now sorry
I've had this happen twice. Seemed like it would do it after connecting it to my PC, and then poof, all internal pics gone. Very annoying, I did try to recover them and no luck. My guess is it had something to do with the version of the Samsung Kies at that time, it has not happened again but now I make sure my stuff is always uploaded to cloud storage.
look for ".nomedia" files

Thank you. I looked for .nomedia files in the whole phone, found some 0 bytes files created 2-3 days apart on directories \GT-I9300\Phone\WhatsApp\Media\WhatsApp Voice Notes\xxxxxx
They are empty.
Also, I noticed that although the pictures got deleted, space hasn't been freed (I have the same free space as before when the pictures were there).
Which makes me think maybe the pictures didn't disappear...
More suggestions?

This might be basic but have you checked on the phone file explorer once - sometimes the pics just don't show up on the pc but are visible in phone (something to do with usb mode with connecting)

Yes, I checked with phone file explorer, even trying by showing hidden files, however, there was no luck, nothing showed.

same problem here! photos and videos just disappear from my stock Camera folder! recovery software unsuccessful
any ideas? rooting does not help :crying:
Sorry if repost, I often find the storage of my phone totally full and tonight I found out it does not delete files but it just puts them into the trash bin. How to empty it quickly?
Use the "Clean junk" function in the Phone Manager app, maybe?

No the clean junk removes only the cache, I found out that for some reasons my device created a folder .trash-1000 like a Linux system where it stored all things I deleted and the only way to access that folder is a file Explorer like root browser.
I attached another one that was created for the gallery

I'm stock and right now I've got like 15 GB of free storage, but with clean system(and Chinese and leeco app installed) it should be around 19/20 I think.
Anyway I found the problem, stock gallery has a recycle bin, accessible from gallery>my>recycle bin where deleted files are kept for 30 days. Check that as well if you have leeco gallery, you might find big surprises

hi i had same problem as you almost 15 gb free space lost. So for removing trash install and use app SD Maid
Run app inside menu of application find storage analyzer then open your primary partition you can see location named storage trash go indide and delete everything.. you need to check that location once per week.. good luck
