Hi All,
I have noticed that my system storage on the device has steadily been increasing day by day.
When I first got the phone only about 80 MB was filled up, now after 4 days its up to 120 MB.
I move all the apps I download to the SD card immediately. On system storage only 1 app has been installed "noLED", which cannot be transferred to SD card, rest all are installed on SD card.
I have notice that whenever I download an app from the market, and even if the app is installed/moved to SD card immediately( even before launching it for the first time), the system storage data increase by 1-2 MB, which ideally should not happen.
I know that the system storage has 1.9 GB of data storage space, but at the rate with which it is filling up it wont take long to run out of space.
Can anyone suggest what I should do to free up space in my system storage ?

I love this phone but after installing a few apps in the storage card, I realised that phone's storage memory is left with 162mb.
what can I do to reduce the size without having to sacrifice removing the apps?
I understand even though apps are installed in the storage card, some files are still kept in the main memory automatically.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Phone memory is basically useful to install apps instead of putting them on a much slower storage card (the stock 2gb microsd makes the hd2 read/write WAY slower than my old ipaq 210 with a class6 16gb SD, and ipaq 210 did not have official support to SDHC mind you)
Plus, 162mb free space on storage is not bad, you should fill it with apps
hey guys so finally I was able to move most of my apps to the storage card as I had only less than 40 mb left on the internal storage,
I used the adb method that was posted on this forum, know that i have over 140 apps installed, I kept on purpose the IGO and 4 other apps on the internal memory which take about 50 mb by. But besides that I moved all the other apps to the storage card. The weird thing is that I am now left with about 115 mb out of a total 380 mb from the internal storage.
What is taking the remaining memory from the internal storage?
You'll still have some space taken up by the apps you left on for widgets etc, and the ones that went to the sd leave a few kb's behind.
The rest is all bloatware my friend, timescape, what's app and all the other sh*t they won't let you uninstall.
Also cache from most programs.

yes whats app, timescape, postcard, the sims 3, tetris, playnow etc are some culprits, i cant wait for root to remove this bloat i dont need.
Annoying really.
The SIMS. I hate the SIMS.
Postcard ? Really ??
What's App, 1 year free sub then can't uninstall if you don't pay.
Testris ? In 2011 ??
No thanks, I'd rather have the memory... Oh, I can't !

The adb method will only use the SD Card? or it is the same as moving the app to the SD CARD (Some part of the app will still be on the memory?)
if SD Card only please add the link on how to do it ..
Thanks a lot..

The 380MB you're talking about is actually the available RAM size (from a total of 512MB). The storage space for installed apps resides in the NAND flash which has a total of 400MB free.
The RAM size will reduce as more background tasks are running, i.e. you kept opening apps and didn't close them properly.
The NAND flash storage space will reduce as you install more and more apps, but many apps are able to offload their data files to the SDcard.
I am having an issue with storage on my phone. I have a 16g phone with a 32g card. I have moved all my pictures, movies, and apps (that can be moved) to my SD Card. The issue is on the storage menu under internal storage it says under applications that I am using 9.5gigs but all I can count under the downloaded apps is 2.8 gigs of apps. So where are the other 6 gig's of mystery apps. Im trying to download a rather large game to put on my sd card but my phone has been rendered useless.

Hi guys, I've just discovered that a lot of my internal space is missing. When formatted I think the phone has 26GB available and now it says I have 7GB left which is impossible. All my photos and videos are on my SD card, when I select all the folders on Device Storage including the hidden ones it says they're a total of 6GB. My apps are 12GB total but 5 of those are from Spotify which is in my SD card also. Also the games' data is included in those 6GB stated earlier and they are around 3GB. So by my calculations I've got to have around 16GB of free space, not 7. Can you help me identify the problem? Thanks.
Did you ever figure this out?
Hi, I have a strange problem with my S7 Edge. It seems that my space is running low everytime and I keep deleting stuff to free up space for updates. Im sure my data is no more than 6GB. I know the usable storage for the 32gb version is 24gb. So why cannot access the rest of the storage?
Can anyone run an analyze and see how much storage usage they have on their internal storage?
Here is how mine looks like:
You need to show what is in "others" it is probably your data partition and it perhaps has big game files installed in there to be 20G in size. Do you use Gear VR? There are some huge downloads in that which end up in internal SD only, do you have a dual SIM version? If not, run a micro SD card, move your DCIM folder across and your camera app will typically auto-switch it's preferences to saving photos and videos to the "external" SD instead of internal.

Have you tried clearing the cache from the settings , storage menu?
I did tried opening the Others- doesnt show anything useful. How can I browse the data partition? I always thought that the internal sd is the data partition. Ideas?
I'm using normal sim version with internal sd card already setup to store images in sd card.
I dont use gear VR. and when I analyze space the Apps and DCIM folder with all my data is around 7GB. I cannot seem to find what takes the rest of the storage - not with a meaningful software. When I browse my internal storage, it seems that the used space there is aroung 7-8GB, and thats all.
Yes, I do this often in order to allow Google updates. Otherwise it cannot update apps.
