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.

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 flashed WP7 today, everything went smoothly, and it seems nice and fast but it keeps popping up a message sayng that i don't have enough storage space and that i should delete some music/photos. obviously there's not much to delete so i assume that I'm either doing something wrong or the current build that's available out there can't access all the storage it should have been able to..
any ideas?
Connect your phone and start zune. In setting of zune, click phone, and in a sub setting there will be one called reserved space. Go on it, and you'll see a bar where you can increase or decrease space on your phone for apps and stuff.
great. will try this. thanks!
I have the same issue - Zune tells me that 83MB of memory is available, and 0MB is free. I have a 2GB card in the phone, so I suspect it's not picking it up. I hadn't formatted the card or anything, so perhaps I missed a step towards making it work..?
I figured it out - the first time I'd booted into WP7, I took the SD card out since it seemed to cause MAGLDR to attempt to boot into an old Android port. It seems WP7 will only use an SD card if it was present on the first boot. Reinstalling WP7 and keeping the SD card in for the first boot seemed to do the trick!
I don't know if there is an easier way to tell WP7 to detect an SD card, but this worked for me. Of course, it does involve resetting everything all over again, but at least the activation code works the second time too!

Have you format your microSd before flashing?
point to setting->About
Reset Your phone and waiting phone restart.
Connect to Zune and check your storage spaces.
I did it and have more than 1GB free spaces with 2GB microsd card.
Hope this help!
I tried it still not workiing I took out the SD cards and formatted it still its not working.
Removed
reset
Had the same problem... , solved!
Went to settings - about - reset phone.
Ok, you need setup everything again, but I now have far more than 3gb on a 4gb sd-card.
Hope this will help you!

I had the problem of the phone running out of storage space. (without using an sd card)
It is a very simple and quick fix.
All you need to do is:
1. Sync with Zune
2. Click on Settings
3. Click on Reserved Space
4. By default its set to 0% - increase it to at least 50%.
(This reserved space is for your emails, pictures, music, texts etc i believe)
5. Restart your phone.
You can check the amount of space on your phone by going to
On your phone click on
1. Settings
2. About
I hope this helps.
You will then have available storage.

I tried it like 2 times still it didnt work
in setting/about: it says..520 mb available (on 1gb card)...but zune doesnot see this even after changing the reserve space setting
tried everything still my avaliable space showing up is around 175 mb on a 2gb card . Even when I take out the card it showing the same amount of space I am pretty sure my card is working and I even increased the reserve space on the zune software.
any news on this? same problem here . I've tried both my 16GB SDHC that came with the phone and my 2GB. neither are recognized by the phone. I've tried allocating more reserve space but to no avail. This is what Im seeing after doing the registry modifications (with or without an SD card inserted on the phone.)
thank you very much... i got it finally......
i formatted my 8gb micro sd card on my comp before flashing.
then i flashed wp7 while i kept the sd card inside the phone.
it didnt format my sd card during flashing. i still have 6.3gb space when i check the space in wp7
ok, it was reported that for zune to work,you need atleast a 4gigs space...will try with bigger card
Hi guys I was searching for a guide for installing and running app from SD card on my X8. Even though the search was a little bit tough and many methods were not working and some were confusing finally I managed to attain my goal. I am writing this tutorial to help those who are searching for the same.
First of all let me say I am not a expert in these type of tweak.
I am just sharing the method which worked on my phone.
Mine is Xperia X8 with "2.1 OS". "Rooted and Xrecovery installed"
Phone must be rooted and Xrecover must be installed else dont waste your time reading the things below.
"First of all please do backup your card"
The softwares which I used are the following:
1)MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition v6.0 (This is free edition. It can be downloaded from their site)
2)apps2sd.zip ( attached below)
3)enableswap2_2a.zip ( attached below )
4)Link2SD ( Can be downloaded free from market)
First download and install Mini Tool Partition Wizard.
Connect your phone to your computer.
Run the partition wizard and you will see all the disks connected to your computer in it (Including your hard disk, memory card, etc)
Now right click on the picture that shows the space in your memory card and choose delete.
Now again right click in the same area as did in the previous step but this time choose create.
Choose it as primary partition with fat32 file system. Also mention the space you required for your memory card use ( This is the space that will be available for you to store your data not app).
Now Click ok.
Now you will see a new partition is formed in the image for your memory card. Now right click in the area where unallocated memory is shown and choose create. Some message will pop up showing "windows will not reg...or something like that" just press ok. As in the earlier case choose primary partition, fat 32 file type and space required. The space in this partition will be the space in SD card that will be used to save your applications. Make sure that 50 to 100 MB of space is left over. Now proceed as before and complete the second partition.
Now right click in the remaining space that is left over and click create. As in previous case, just click ok when the warning message pop out. Now choose primary type but in the option for fat32 we must choose linux swap and give all the remaining space.
Now press apply in top left portion of the software and wait till it complete its work.
Once this is done close Partition wizard and go to my computer and copy the files apps2sd.zip and enableswap2_2a.zip to the new partition which is visible there (Your memory card).
Now disconnect your phone. "Dont try to access your memory card now", just restart your phone and go to Xrecovery.
In Xrecover go to "partition" option and click on "mount sd card".
No go to main menu and select install from custom zip.
Now choose both the files "apps2sd.zip and enableswap2_2a.zip" one at a time.
Once this is done you must reboot your phone.
Now open the software link2sd.
It will ask for the file type of your new partition. Give it as fat32 and press ok.
That is it! you are done.
Now choose the software that must be transfered to SD card and press the create link button -> press ok.
Please dont try to transfer the system applications to your memory card!!!!
If you wand new application to be automaticaly installed in sd choose the option for the same from the settings of link2sd (Auto link in the settings window)
Hope this will help someone. Thank you for reading my thread.
"Do these things at your own risk I wont be responsible for any problem with your phone"
Hmmmmm
You say you've got 2.1 Android on the Xperia right?
yes..The OS that came in build.
Oh kwlll I'll give it a go

partitioning the sd card into linux swipe didnot work for me on my x8
instead i kept it as fat32 and followed the remaining procedure as above except installing enableswap2_2a.

which partitions do you have?
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

Hi there,
used to use go launcher ex as my home thingy, but then it said there was an update but when I updated it there was a message that said insufficient space or memory and it then uninstalled the old version of the go launcher app... now it wont install at all again... I did rate it 1 star for this (what a freaking hassle, why wont these things just work... sigh... yes its been one of those weeks when nothing seems to work as it should... sigh) and they did reply saying "Dear Sir or Madam,I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, please move the apps which do not need to install in the phone memory to the SD card,and try again.Thanks." now do they mean theres a folder where the apps I have installed have been downloaded to before installing and I should move these apk(right?) files to my sd card or is it something else... in the mean time off to find out how to clear the cache and stuff... thanks for any info...
No. What they are telling u is that in ur Internal SD dont have enough space for more apps. U will have to go then:
1. Menu Apps - Settings - More - Application Manager
2. Second Tab (SD Card)
3. All this apps can be moved to the SD CARD (U will see them all unticked)
4. Select first app there and click a button called "Move to SD Card"
5. Go back
6. U will see this app now ticked
7. Continue with the rest same process till all them will be ticked
8. Try to install again GO Launcher
9. I hope it works for ya. Enjoy :highfive:
