I woke up this morning with this error message showing up in the notification area on my tablet. I searched everywhere on the sdcard for big files but did not find any. Application setting reports 12 gb is in used but only 1.2 gb is in used according to my math. Has enyone encountered this message? This is also a known bug on the zoom and so far nobody knows the cause of it or how to fix the problem.
I had encountered this problem too..search through the entired sdcard on 3gb(out of 32gb) total files found...but application setting reports available storage space as 500mb..I end up doing a factory to reclaim my storage space..hope it wont happen again..

Yes I had the same problem. Do not clean out by factory reset..clean out unwanted files from your internal "SD" storage. I found this out after trying to uninstall apps etc and still got the error.
So after taking a few steps back I remember putting a lot of movies, picture on the internal SD then got this error...I do not know why..but it's what I did to fix my problem.

I am getting this every week.
I moved all the applications can be to sd card with appto2d application. THere are some applications cant be moved. They are some small games.
But every day my phone storage is growingup. What causes this, i dont understand.
I use go sms for mesasaging, that can be a reason?
And i cant see the internal storage file by file just like external. SO i cant see what are big files.
So, please help. What i can do? NOw i cant receive or send messages because text message memory is full it says. İnternal storage is now 51.78 mb. When it goes 60, no error.
Yeap it needs to be minimum 60mb.Try genokolars internal memory patch to make your memory 1.4gb

I seem to have lost some of the little 16gb's I had. seems like after pressing security mode I am only showing 10.3GM of internal memory. Anyone know what up with this? I have tried searching the forum, but getting error msg's trying to find the answer....
I do have on safestrap, but think this happened befor i installed it. not 100% sure.
10.3GM or 10.3GB? And that seems normal you don't get to use ALL 16GB. The "lost" space is reserved for system
are you referring to "private mode" with the security mode you are talking about? yeah it seems to format a little over 4GB for the "private" encrypted folder, I recently rooted and installed cyanogen and now I seem to have lost that 4GB completely it only shows 11.3gb of total internal memory. If you turn private mode on and plug into a computer does it show 4GB approximately for private and the other 11.x for internal storage? trying to find out if I wipe everything in twrp if I'll brick my phone or be able to reformat internal storage to one partition and have all 16 back minus the little bit that gets eaten up but should still be 14.5 15gb of total storage space granted it wont all be available.
hay people,
so, today my friend gaved me his phone and asked me to install him facebook application on the phone, because he faild to install it.
so, i thought what an easy task, but it turns out i can not make it work at all.
so, he has samsung galaxy s4 (model: GT-I9500).
he has sd card which is 16 gb large, and his phone has 16 gb of installed storage. (at least phone specifications say so).
i tried to install facebook but i got the error.
the problem is that it says that there is no enouff storage available, and google play fails to download application.
so i went to the settings and some wery odd numbers i found.
so, it turns out that storage section of settings shows that there are three different storages.
first one is sd card.
for sd card it shows that it has 16.53 gb capacity, and that 13.97 gb is free.
second one is internal storage:
it shows that internal storage has 16gb capacity, from whitch (believe it or not) 15.91 gb is free.
furtermore, what is also strange is that it shows that there is third storage called "phone storage", and it shows that this storage has capacity of only 17.84 mb, and that 17.75 mb is free. but mb not gb.
what is even stranger, if i go to applications section of settings to see installed apps it shows that available space for apps is 170 mb from witch about 40mb is free.
i mean wtf, how is that possible?
phone has 16 gb of internal storage, and almost all is empty, there are no installed applications except for built in ones, and still it looks like it lacks free space.
it almost looks like it looks at this "phone storage" for available space to install.
what is that "phone storage" at all?
why is only 17mb large?
and how to make android detect that there is 15.93 gb of internal storage available?
instead android shows that low space icon in status bar and every 5 minuts displays popup saying "internal storage is full".
please help to solve this.
why those 15.93 gb are not available for applications?
also, phone has an option to choose where to install applications.
and no matter what i choose (sd card or internal storage) it says there is no enough storage available.
please help.
i really want to fix his phone, because if i do not, you know, he would think that i do not know how to install facebook app.
any help?
how to solve this?
is this normal?
is there any system reserved memory or something?
if this is normal, than can someone explain why, what is all that free memory used for?
for far as i concern, i am down with ideas only to reset phone. but, i am hoping there is some better solutions.
for anyone who reply, thanx!
He has a significant issue with storage. The internal storage should have about 6GB used by the system with about 9GB free. There should not be a "phone storage" drive. The device may need to be repartitioned to correct this, using a PIT file, the correct firmware for your device, and Odin.
Hey I have a weird issue with my internal storage lately and cant figure out what the issue is or find anything really online about it.
I have a Galaxy S5 with Android 5.0. The problem right now is, that im having way more internal storage occupied than it should. If im connecting my phone to the PC, it says that 2,04 GB are free from 11,6 GB (so around 9 should be full). This is ridiculous though, as currently I only have a few apps installed and some fotos. The weird thing also is, if I copy all the files to my computer, its only 101 MB ??!? When im looking in the storage menu, it says that 9 GB are from applications (also listing internal ones), but how can this be? Is there anyone having a fix or a link where this was already described maybe?
did you try emptying the cache?

If it says 9GB is taken from apps, then find out which ones are using up most of the room and remove them...
Android itself takes up a fair whack, along with touchwiz and bloatware cr4p
Okay I managed to remove some of the data from google services apps, like chrome and maps, but actually a phone restart after that freed a lot of internal storage again. I cant remember having this happen like that before.

You only can copy 101MB from your phone due to file name restrictions...the file path is too long somehwhere in the Android folder app data, use smart switch to backup and it'll backup all used space (idk about app data)
I have an old AC8277 Head Unit I got from Panlelo with 1 GB of Ram and 16 GB of storage. It is running Android 5.1. It will periodically tell me I am running out of storage space, even though the storage stats show several GB free. I used the Disk Usage app and it seems to show 2 partitions from there:
Storage Card
/vendor
As soon as my "Storage Card" partition goes above 1 GB, it seems to throw the Storage Space Running Out error.
There was a 3rd party Navigation app on the device I wasn't using and tried deleting that 4 GB folder to see if that would help, but the error remained. Only after I uninstalled a few applications that were in the "Storage Card" did the error go away and the used storage there was less than 1 GB.
I previously tried a factory reset per the vendors advice but the problem came back after some time.
What would be the easiest way to fix this issue outside of deleting apps? Ideally I'd like to be able to keep over 1 GB of apps on this device and I can't understand why this limit is in place.
