Could not post it on Oppo forums. Seems like 1 Gb of personal data and 2 GB of Andriod data is in use out of 22 GB. Looking at the application manager it seems Photos (not google photos app but the default photos app) app is consuming 8 GB of data (only 300 Mb of photos in storage and shouldn't be part of the photos app so I guess its some kind of cache). I tried to clear data but it just tries to clean but nothing happens. Couldn't stop the photos app either. Have tried restarting the phone too.

I went to do a nandroid backup and it failed, "no space on my SD card".
Thats weird, as usually have at least 4 gig on my Nexus S 4g.
Poking around, it was the cache from Google plus, com.google.android.apps.plus (Android\data). That, coupled with my titanium backup of same ate my SDCARD. easy to fix Titanium from backup it up, but the cache is still several gigs large. 40,000 + files with [number].screen extensions.
I have like 2 friends on google+, 3 posts, and can not for the life of me figure out what in the world all that data is.
I'm going to remove the data , freeze the app, but just wanted to know if anyone else noticed a disproportionate amount of data in the Google+ app compared to the amount of activity/usage I have on google+.
Same problem here

Old thread I know, but it probably is Google Plus photos sync. What I'm wondering is if auto backup could be done without also having to sync G+ albums to the phone.
Not sure if anyone has noticed this, but the storage app is showing Pictures, Videos as 8GB+ but when I select that entry, it shows up a few MB of files (DCIM, camera phone pictures). there's nothing on the internal memory in terms of pictures and videos.
Also Total Space is 11.35GB, and Available is 9.87GB with 1.31 GB taken up by apps.
so I'd say the Pictures, Videos entry is just plain wrong, not that it's counting random images stored in the memory.
Tried clearing cache, dalvik etc, but no joy, it just won't show properly.
Anyone notice this problem or have a fix handy ?
After using the phone for a while, even if you don't install lots of apps, the 16GB internal storage area will eventually get full. Facebook, chrome, twitter etc develop large caches on the device. The thumbnail file balloons to several GBs. Even if you have a microSD, Google these days limit portability to the microSD. There are some workarounds. I use an app called Link2SD. I have created a 2nd partition on my microSD card, and use this app to move app data and cache files to this storage area.
How do you cope with the 16GB storage limit? How do you move apps and/or app data to the microSD card?

Root
And use folder mount. But the ultra does seem to collect a lot of a cache I've noticed over the years. I just clear it. Not to mention es file explorer has a recycling bin which is a nightmare.
I don't use the phone storage expect for Google everything else I run on my SD card.
Link2SD sucks its all complicated folder mount gets right to the point. Plus I use CyanogenMod so out of the box my phone only uses like 700mb
i remember on my desire hd on og the devs made a way to make the phone think that sd card was iternal memory so in other words i had 32gb internal also did this on my samsung tablet too
I have never filled up the internal storage completely. I have a 64GB SD which I use to store some of my music on, and all wallpapers and photos are moved to the SD. The only things I have on the internal storage are apps, and non of them manages to balloon the cache up to several gigs. Chrome has a cache limit of 200 MB, Reddit Sync has an option to clear the cache every day/every time I close it etc, so the things that takes up the most space are games. Those aren't causing any issues either since I only have 2 or 3 games installed at all times. When I'm done with them, I uninstall them. The stock ROM also has "App to SD" (which I don't use, but it's there). So all in all, I don't have to overcome any limits.
I can see how it's an issue if you insist in having 600 apps installed at all times, but then it's not the hardware's fault, but the user that's incredibly messy and stupid.
I use Obb on SD (Xposed) for games such as the GTA series and have a task for cleaning the Album cache with Tasker every day (that app tend to build huge cache files, I have experienced 1 GB....) and I am also careful to move downloaded stuff to the microSD card.
I also clean the cache regularly under storage and is usually with 2 GB free on the internal disk.
It is handy to set up Tasker to do regular cleaning of cache folders for those apps who tend to create big caches as well. When decent Marshmallow ROMs are out, my plan is to format my microSD card as "internal storage" (ext4 per the new feature introduced) which will make everything more seamless.
hi guys,
I have seen this occurring quite often with a new SD card that i purchased like 2 months ago for my S5, the card is Samsung 64 GB Evo MicroSDXC UHS-I Grade 1 Class 10 Memory Card, amazon link https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00J29FF4G.
Even if i slowly browse with the gallery viewer so thumbs are generated, at some point down the line, say next week i browse again the gallery, then thumbnails seem to be loaded one by one again.
If i go to Application Manager > Gallery, i can see that under Cache i have 132 MB, checked just now, which seem to me that they are cached so shouldnt do it all again?
My wife's S5 has my old 32GB card (slower than my new one) which is even old from a few years ago and on her phone the cache seems to work, sometimes it's maybe with the empty thumbs but then it quickly loads them all up - under "gallery app", cache reads same at around 105-110 MB there.
One difference on my phone is that i have way more photos all in one folder, i also tried having many folders.. no change (I have around 2500 photos) than the other phone, so maybe that's the issue? I tried several times to empty cache, dalvik cache but no difference whatsoever..phones are identical, rooted, etc.
thanks,
Gab
anyone????
just checking.......shall i delete some photos? tnxx
occasionally (not every day, not every photo, sometimes not even the same photo) on day reset (internal clock 00:00) photos delete themselves from my gallery app. conditions to keep in mind:
-google drive back up disabled, google drive uninstalled
-google photos back up disabled, google photos app uninstalled
-samsung+ not connected, samsung cloud backup disabled
-generic cloud back up disabled
-its not my norton junk cleaner clearing out photos
-its not the Settings>device maintenance cache clear/free up space or optimization tools
(have considerations and settings set so none of these deletes or has access to photos)
and as per norton scan i have no viruses, malware or ransomware.
photos could be recovered by rooting data recovery process but thats not the issue.
the issue is why are photos being deleted( directory file state set to free space) on day change?
the only two things ive been able to determine are that its a problem with either android OS or the stock gallery app itself. how do i debug and fix this?
SDcard?
no on sim card internal memory

nope just on normal sim card internal memory. havent added the SD card yet.
I'd reset the phone and if it continues I'd put it down to faulty internal memory then

I started noticing pictures/photos disappearing and SOME pictures half-greyed out about a month ago. The problem first appeared close to the time I received a system update. I had 334 pictures stored on my PC and copied onto my SD Card. I now have 84 of those original pictures still on the SD Card, but I can't see some pictures and others are half-greyed out. What is going on is beyond me, but a Google search found the issue reported on several sites, but the problem is not only with the S9 series, but also the S8. So far the best recommendation is to uninstall updates to the Gallery. I'm testing it now. However, I can't copy pictures from my PC onto the SD card for some reason. So, more research is needed.
