Hi,
Just few days ago, I had like 20 MB of free disk space, today its <1 MB. Already deleted all the temp files, etc. using software.
Any ideas? Is it possible to sort folders by size or do some other inspection, as it does that for files only.
- Install all your apps to Storage Card?
And if you download your apps through the Marketplace, get the new version of it which gives you the option of installing apps to Storage Card.
- Move pictures, documents to Storage Card.
- Delete unecessary MMS'es
- Email. Are attachments save to phone memory or storage card.
Hi, all pics, videos, mms, emails are deleted, most of the software is installed in storage card.

Flash a "lite" ROM that doesn't install all the operator crap when you first boot.
BTW which disk space is it refering too? Storage or program memory?
Storage
180.60 total
Used 179+
Yeah, but I want to find out, who consumed all that disk space... There must be something.
Free storage: 0.00
And I did freakin nothing... Surfed system via file explorer
get Memmaid and run a Quick Clean.

This issue seems to be running through a number of threads and its not just a matter of clearing mem. I never clear anything and I don't get my storage mem filing up and I only ever install to phone.
Lets start again and take a scientific approach.
Give full details of network, ROM, installed apps etc.

Hi, using official 1.66 ROM on Tele2 network (3G), noticed this issue when I was abroad (and was not installing any softwares or games, just surfing the net via Opera Mobile 10).
Flashlight, Gyrator, clearRam (or clean ram), incall lock, net 3.5, smartlock, skype (installed before went abroad, but into 1gb card) and swype, that's pretty much it.
I have also removed many items from start menu and noticed that HTC recreates some of the shortcuts (not sure if this is related or not) with blacnk icons, such as HTC Messages.

have you checked Application Data\HTC\HTC Album\ folder?

OK. Let's run with your configuration.
Firstly do you install to mem card or phone mem?
Secondly have you done a hard reset and fresh install of settings?
I currently run CleanEX HQ 2.32 Uni WWE ROM with 2.06.50.23_3 radio.
I have 30 apps showing in the start menu of which 10 were preinstalled with the ROM.
My base mem is as follows-
RAM 576 MB
ROM 512 MB
Storage 292.91 MB
System settings shows-
Storage
Total 292.91 MB (as above)
In use 89.30 MB
Free 203.61 MB
Program (RAM)
Total 453.78 MB (of the full available 576 MB)
In use 170.39 MB
Free 283.39 MB
I don't see any reason why yours should be significantly different, however, if it is there is definately some problem with some apps hogging resources.
And it appears to be occuring on the T-mobile US versions?
Very strange!
had this problem before when using dutty's old cook rom.. never solved the problem..
but I noticed if you open Total Comander.. you can check My Document folder that soething create a file name.... (I forgot) and it's HUUGE! I deleted it.. and the problem's gone..
But then it after sometime.. it create the file again..
using dutty 1.7 HG and smaberg's latetst and doesn't have that issue anymore.. weird..

Hi, checked now, Cache folder got some big files, like 15MB total, is it safe to delete all of them?
IC_C - 7.25M
PG_IC_C - 5.66M
thumb_caches - 3.13M
Other than that, there are like few thumbnails only, ~1mb total in usage.
--------------------------------
pa49, I have installed only Opera, Swype and maybe ArkSwitch into a phone memory, everything else is in card. I haven't tried hard reset or soft reset.
I have bought my phone from clove.co.uk without a contract, I believe it's not a T-Mobile version.
Could it be because of the start menu icons deletion? I have deleted HTC People, etc from there and those icons reappeared (but without an icon), so maybe HTC generates some kind of error whenever I open start menu? Is there any error_log location in HTC?
--------------------------------
zelduy, I have tried dutty but deleted it after few mins or so, haven't found any files larger than few KBs in my docs folder.
--------------------------------
P.S. Is there any way to access phone memory via PC? As when I connect USB, can only access memory card and not phone itself.
P.P.S. Is it possible to delete default sounds, as when I right click on such files, delete option is grayed out.
P.P.P.S Is there any disk space management software on WinMo which shows what files/folders consumes the most of disk space?
Thanks for all your help, guys!

My laptop file manager shows the phone in the file tree and allows access to both storage card and internal storage. It just sees them as a drive. Even without WMDC running.
It's showing my installed app data, HTC cache as 1.75MB and 292 MB of free space.
i delete everything in the HTC ALBUM folder , its just temp files that appear to be created when using the album , any files that are needed get remade so its a quick way of saving some space
I have 2 hd2 phones, 1 has original - never flashed rom, the other I've flashed many times.
When I ran into this free space issue, I found that my phone showed only 190mb for the total size of the storage drive, the other, untouched phone showed 690mb total size.
Even after flashing many different roms, the storage drive on the rom I've been flashing was 190mb total size.
No free space of course.
So, what can resize the storage drive? any idea how this can be fixed?
What size do you see for total mb on the storage drive?
Maybe GoogleMaps Cachefile ?
You'll find it in \appdata.
Unless you install the app onto your storagecard, it'll spam your phone mainmemory...
I own a hd2 with the lates nand hyperdroid rom, and a a2sd partition on my 16 gig sd card.
Now, my phone's memory is full at the moment. I cant even update my current apps due to low memory. So I deleted 5 apps worth of 4 mb. However i can't still update for example the shazam app, which is a 1,5 mb upgrade.
Now, my questions are.
1. If I delete 4 mb worth of apps, why can't I still update the shazam app? 4-1,5 would mean I have 2,5 mb left, right?
2. Second, how can updating apps cost so much memory. Sometimes I need to deleted a few apps in order to update some apps to the newest version. I assumed a new app version wouldn't cost a lot of extra memory.
3. in titanium backup I see there is 28,9 of system rom, 26,3 of internal memory and 800 mb of a2sd left. How come it says memory is full?4
4. Is there a solution to installing more apps?
I'm sorry if my questions are a bit vage, but it's just frustrating that I cannot install the apps I want.

try going into settings and than applications than manage it should show you a list under downloaded. go into some of your apps you downloaded not widgets or important things that you use like button savior cause they wont wont when on sd card. youll see an option to move to sd card move it wait for it to say move to phone than its complete do that to a couple of apps then try to update the app, but take shazaam out of sd card if its there then try to upgrade it if it doesnt work. or back up all your apps than reflash.

Hi,
I noticed when I moved apps to my sd card using SuperBox,that it moved the app,but left the data on the phone.
If you have apps with large amounts of data(saves,etc.),these will be causing your problem.
Try using root Explorer or something similar and look into the cache folder. Apk files that you download from market are saved there sometimes. You can delete them there. You also can move your dalvik to sdext. Easiest way is a2sdgui.

hi all i m new on android on our device.
i have that problem :
on my device i have a sd with 8 gb (i know..it s not very much... ),with installed android,and other app on by wm 6.5.
android some days ago started to say impossible install the app because not enough space.
i linked device on pc,and see there are about 2 gb free space on sd... ...
well where is the problem for android?
he decided to give some space factory how device's space, and need a partition to see remain space how sd space?
sorry for my english i m from italy(and google traductor it s not better than me).
Maybe a market problem? The updated market gives me low space errors sometimes. in phone settings you can go to manage applications then tap on 'all' and scroll down to market and tap on it. then tap in uninstall update. Works for me for the next app I download but then it updates again and gives me the error for the next app. Sorry if i'm not understanding you but it's worth a try.

thanks for the quickly answer,but i don't think it s a market problem,because in the notify bar there is in continue the messagge the space it s finishing...but it s not true....20 minutes ago i erased 900Mb lol.... i suppose a pair of app on 900Mb free can be installed....or not? (i mean app and not games.)
i suppose android decide to take some space(for example 3gb of the sd) and use that how device memory.
then when that space it s full,it say the space it s finish.
maybe if our sd it s partitioned (for example a part with the apps of win +exe of android and another part called sd,used for sd card for android) can install app in sd space how sd and then not how device memory.... lol...i know it s complicate to understand what i m saying..
Maybe your sd card is partitioned? Try instaling http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html and see if you have something wrong in your sd card

Have you tried simply rebooting or rescanning media files?

if youre booting android and installing apps on that droid... maybe its because of the size limitation of system.ext2 files which created... who knows.... right...
My Phone isn't still rooted, i installed the Real racing 3 game from google store which was free. the size of the game file was around 1.5 gb. after installing the game i went to the application manager and moved the app to the SD card, i knew only the fraction of the app will be moved, therefore the 1.5 gb was still in device storage and around 33mb was moved to SD card. However later this morning i went to the application manager and uninstalled the Game be i couldn't move it back to the device storage before uninstalling, the problem is that it seems like only the 33mb part was deleted but not the whole app (1.5 gb) because the 1.5 gb is still utilized in my device memory. i downloaded clean master and cleaned junk files and cache but no luck. can anyone tell me what has gone wrong? and a way to delete the 1.5gb file whch is on the device memory.
Thank you very much. !

Have a look in either Android/data or data/ on your internal SD and look for the folder which contains the game data then delete it manually.

This is where the game files are stored. You obviously didn't look hard enough.
/sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.games.r3
you can try installing clean master from the play store.

Hi all,
I am using Moto g4 Plus with Resurrection Remix ROM - v5.8.4-20170824-athene-official for last two weeks. I love this ROM. There is only one issue I face which is forcing me to re-flash 2nd time in 2 weeks. The internal memory usage keeps growing and it fills up. I know it could be a rouge app. But I can not identify which.
My storage is encrypted as I use my corporate e-mail in outlook. Would that be a problem?
I used Titanium Backup Pro and moved all the high memory apps to SDCard (mounted as extended storage). Now the highest memory users listed in Storage is all google apps - but they dont add up to total.
Settings->Storage->Internal Memory says
28.59 GB out of 29.12 used.
Apps : 3.57 GB
System 4.26 GB
Cached data : 43.32 MB
When I installed the ROM and all apps from Titanium Pro back up it was only 15 GB. In a week it grew to fill the area. I did a clean installation again and it happened again.
Is there a tool/log where I can look for what is occupying the 28.59 GB and what keeps growing?
Thanks

Try fx file manager or any file manager, which will show you the usage stats and also created and modified date w/ it.
If not able to find out backup only app and not data from titanium backup.
See if the issue is resolved and check data(storage of per app using Apps2SD)
Apps2SD shows all the data consumed by a particular app w/each detail to wants.

Thanks. Apps2SD keeps crashing - so I couldnt use. FX file manager does not show much details other than SD card. I could see the same information with ES File Explorer with root explorer enabled. Unfortunately it looks like all the information the tool shows as recent file changes are in SD card and they are not much.
What is the mount path for internal storage - /data. Is there a way to see the largest files or recent changes with /data - may be I didnt use fx file manager with correct options.
Within last 2 hours the internal memory got filled up by another GB.

Ok, im not telling you that fx will show you all the details, but the file location and if permitted system info too. Which will clear that which folder have your data ie which app is doing this. Use some stats application for it(sry i dont know any).
But may you properly explain the process like just telling us int storage gets stock up w/o doing anything is bit not understandable.
I apologize as I sent the reply too soon without exploring all options in FX file manager.
I found the culprit. It was a folder related to power logger, which was taking up 21 GB. I deleted Ampere app (I assume it logs power usage) and the folder and I got 22 GB back.
Thanks a lot!

Only if Apps2SD has worked in your phone properly it would have been just a matter of time(like 10min is enough) to caught the culprit. Well good to see you have got your memory back[emoji6]
