A few days ago I noticed that I cannot install or delete anything from the internal memory on my phone. I CAN uninstall programs with SKTools though, so it's probably just a software issue but I have never had this happen before so I have no idea what steps to take. However, I'm trying to save myself a hard reset so I'm gonna ask here if anyone has had this problem & successfully fixed it. I have SO many tweaks, please tell me this is fixable without a hard reset
EDIT: Ok I figured it out but now I have a new issue- somehow the memory card encryption was enabled but the checkbox to decrypt it is now greyed out. How the heck do I fix this?
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.
Hi there. Maybe someone can help me. I searched already and it seems that no one other have this problem. i only found solutions with rooting.
in latest update samsung brought the app2sd funktion (Build JDQ39J9505XXUBMEA).
It works fine, i can move parts of my apps to my SD card. Now there are 8GB on external SD. (apps roundabout 6GB)
But now the problem - the apps still stay in the internal storage,too ... in full size. so the size for apps is still at 6GB. move back and try again don't help. even when i move a 1,9GB game from SD to internal, the internal gets 100mb fuller. maybe there is a failure in read out the storages....
i hope some other people have the same problem, i don't want to reset my phone or try anything in this way and maybe its a general problem, then i hope i can wait for a new update.
so, anyone here with a similar problem?
thanks

Hi,
The latest firmwares will let you move the apps to the sd card,but they will not move the data.
This does not help at all.
The only way to do this is to use FOLDERMOUNT
You must be rooted for this.
hello guys,
I have a problem in storage of the device, rather than have a 12 GB I have 10. It's because I accidentally clicked on something my recovery, anyone know how to fix it?
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)
