Hi I don't even know if I this is the right forum to post this question. I have a Le Pan Android Tablet, pretty old. I never had a problem running out of storage. I have deleted every app I could, cleared cache and even cleared data on some apps. Right now it keeps saying storage space running out. Total space says 5.06 GB and available 0.00B. I have deleted most pictures. When I go to settings then storage it will say cache data 804KB then if I get out if settings and go back to it, it says 0.89MB. App data and media content says 778MB Does anyone know what I can do to free up storage. This just started happening about 3 weeks ago. Thank you

Hi,
I have a weird problem with my S2 running samsung stock ICS 4.0.3. i have been using sgs2 for over a year now and whenever my free internal storage goes below 250MB i move the apps to SD card. But now No. of apps in SDcard has hit the Android limit so i simply delete the Apps. But off late that is not freeing up my internal memory. Soon after deleting apps it shows internal memory freed but by next day or it again fills up. This is when i check my storage at Settings-> storage (shows ~220MB). when i check my with settings -Applications it stays free and now its showing 600MB free. This was not the case earlier. Both the values above remained more or less same. So i have deleted ~300MB worth of applications without freeing up my storage
I have been searching vigorously but found no solutions. I have read about Wifi logs issue but it should have started soon after ICS upgrade. In fact till very recently it was fine coz i had to delete lot of Appa due to Android SD card bug. my free space went upto ~400Mb. Not now suddenly. In fact i changed nothing in my sgs2 to cause this. I noticed this issue when i installed and then uninstalled SYBIL. Would deleting Dalvik cache help? if yes then how to do it?
What else should i do? Is there a way to resolve this of find a workaround without Rooting. I love to root my phone and enjoy the freedom it offers but i have absolutely no time to do that.
Please help

finally found a solution in a thread in xda "A simple way to free up storage space is by deleting all the log files in the device memory. Just dial *#9900# on your phone and select option 2 “Delete dumpstate/logcat” in the prompted menu. It's not necessary to root your phone either. I restored 1.4 gig of space after doing this."
Hi all,
Having an issue with my S3 where the internal memory is filling up with some unknown thing. Every morning I was waking up to "insufficient storage" notifications and no matter what i would deleted it would just fill up again. I factory reset it two days ago to see if it would stop the problem and it's already half full of nothing. I've looked around a few places but can't seem to find an answer. Phone is unrooted with stock everything. I've attached some images so you can see what I'm talking about. Storage Analyser does not recognise whatever is taking up the space but the system does.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
UPDATE
I figured this out. I rooted the phone and realised that my phone had almost 3gb of error logs in data/logs/ --- That's 3 gigs in 2 days by the way. Gonna try and figure out how to stop it doing that next and I'll report here then. Until then I'll just have to delete regularly.
Hello all,
I have a very peculiar and troublesome problem on my hands. One of my family members has a Galaxy S II (international) running CM10.1, and the internal storage for apps and such is running very low, but I can't figure out why. She has only a handful of apps on the device, and even the internal SD card is more than half empty. The device is giving a "Storage space is running out" notification. I tried reinstalling CM10, but I left the data partition intact, so maybe I have to wipe it out to fix it. I'd prefer not to do that if at all possible, as we're on vacation right now. Any ideas?
Thanks!
I have the exact same problem.
i have 12 gig's of internal storage. 1gig used (if i add up the used files). and 899mb free.... ??
it doesnt add up.
i installed CM10.1.3 and cant figure out where all the data is.
cleared all cash and removed unused apps. it gives me a couple more MB's but no gigs extra....
i have a feeling i didnt clear the phone well enough before installing CM10.1.3
how do i get the missing ghost files back. and remove them?
Hello Everyone.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Ace (S5830) and until 2 days ago i was running a CM7 on it until it suddenly just stopped working and the phone hung in some kind of boot loop. That's when i decided to "upgrade" to a newer version of CM and searched for everything necessary.
I tried some CM11 alpha but since it's pretty unstable (at least the version i had was) i tried others until i settled for a stable 10.2 version (cm-10.2-20140309-UNOFFICIAL-cooper++). So far i am pretty happy since it actually is running very smoothly on my phone and i did not expect that at all. But then i ran into the same issue that basically everyone owning this phone runs into - it's very limited internal space.
Fact is i do need some google apps since i'm using gmail and synchronizing my contacts through it. Also i want to use Whatsapp, basically the only reason for me having a smartphone right now. I Installed the Dolphin Browser aswell since a decent browser is also something i'd like to use from time to time, but it seems to be full on external anyways so it should not count towards the internal storage.
Problem is now, all that is already too much for the phone's internal storage to handle since whatsapp has to stay on internal - at least that's my experience - and the google-play services that are needed aswell are placed on internal too without option of moving them.
I tried some things but basically all of them failed on one or another weird way..
- titanium backup - uninstalled system apps that i am not using (radio, browser, google play voice things, etc.) but after a reboot they were all back again. Even before rebooting, uninstalling them seemed not to open up space at all.
- Link2SD - tried linking whatsapp to my SD card, failed since whatsapp wasn't running very stable anymore. If anyone has a solution for this i'd love to hear it!
- App2SD - didn't even show any internal apps, and wasn't helping at all.
Also something i've tried, i have a message backup for whatsapp that's ~14mb but lies on my SD card. Problem seems to be that Whatsapp on recovering these messages put's them somewhere on the internal storage, at least it takes those ~14mb away from it after it recovered them. I tried to change the path whatsapp uses for internal storing of data with the app 'FolderMount' (like i found tutorials on the internet for exactly this issue) but wasn't even able to locate the internal stored data :/ Not because i just didn't find it, but because it seems not to exist...
I know i can't really increase the size of the internal storage but i think there has to be something i can do. I can't even update whatsapp since i am just living on the edge of the "low storage space" message with 20-15mb left.
What i am hoping now through this thread is to get some ideas or options how i could free up some space, move some apps around to SD maybe (utilize Link2SD correctly) or in the end basically have the things i need but some free storage on internal so that i can use my phone, maybe even install apps on SD (without them touching internal space) and have some room to update the important apps like whatsapp.

Hello guys, I have a tablet with 4gb internal storage and my storage place is missing...I mean its not there even though I dont put anything on my tablet... I did a hard reset, everything went good after about a month out of my 3gb free space there is almost nothing.
My device says its short on storage which is just unreal, when I go to store in setting it says 400mb free space the graph on the top shows only 400mb but when it calculates the storage after 10seconds the according to the graph I have 2gigs but still shows 400mb.. How is this possible? I tried clearing cache, dalvik cache, everything but it onlz frees up again if I reset mz phone... Some pics so its more understandable:
