Hi! all. How can i completely delete the app & its data from my tab when i uninstall an app? Cause my internal memory is running out & wish to free up some space. I have some games that i've installed along with some data that i downloaded. How can i remove them completely?
Go to SETTING -> APPLICATION -> [Tap on the APPS that you want to remove]
Tap Clear CACHE / DATA
Tap Force Stop / Uninstall
If you like my answer, hit the THANKS button..

Does the Android environment suffer from registry 'junk' entries from the installation and deinstallation of applications as WM does? I'm asking because there are just so many Android applications, and the Market is often unhelpful with determining which one is right, so it looks as though much experimentation will be happening, and I don't want to muck up the system.
Thanks!
Bump. Hope someone can answer this. Thanks!
If you want to remove all possible traces when you uninstall an app. Don't just uninstall from Market.
Go to Settings > Applications > All Applications (Click on the app) then select clear cache - then select clear data if you can - then click uninstall.

Thanks, but that only partially answers my question. I would want to be sure that all traces of an application are removed, but not all traces of everything. In other words, there are apps that I intend to keep, but for those I don't want, how do I completely erase them, or are they like WM apps where no matter what you do, there are registry entries?
Also, is there a way to find the .apk and save it for future installs? For example, the Marketplace doesn't archive a list of free apps. I would want to save those in a folder, along with keys such as the Pro version of Titanium Backup and so on.

Have you added anything to the phones memory? I remember it gave me that message when I first set up my custom boot. But other options can be try a reboot or a factory reset

* Cache Cleaner from the Market
* Check 'Settings > Applications > Manager Applications: Downloaded'
---> This shows all your downloaded apps, including their sizes. Look for the large files and try to either move them to SD (if you're running Froyo), clear down their cache (automatic with that Cache Cleaner app I recommended) or you'll have to just uninstall
Even after you've cleaned out some items, it can take a few minutes for the system to register the changes. You shouldn't have to reboot, but it might not be a bad idea to do so if the system isn't seeing seeing the changes.
thnx plyr
and thnx namuna well i need to upgrade to froyo i have the froyo us version for my phone but i dnt kno hpq to load it on my phn manualy plz help...

Open root explorer. Go to /data/dalvik cache. Select all files in the folder and delete them. Reboot immediately. Stuff will get very unstable till you do.
This will re optimize the system after all the changes you have been making.

Similar to this, is thr a way to clear cache partition without recovery mode?
What is the purpose of doing this? Will this clear my settings or default programs?
Adversely, I have one default program I would like to clear but it does not show up on the default app list... can I clear this one manually? Namely I want to switch back to using Svoice vs Google Voice and no matter what i do I can switch it back. Turning on Svoice under settings does nothing.
Thanks for the great info
Thanks for the helpful tidbit.
question here
if i clear my dalvik cache( with not the intentions to install new rom...just cleaning junks) will my personal data be saved?
why just don't use one of app : https://play.google.com/store/searc...sp=CAFiDQoLY2xlYXIgY2FjaGV6AhgAigECCAE=&hl=en
So cache partition stores all these settings which can be deleted from settings->apps? or it's maybe something like temp in Windows?
Whether will be deleted apps settings after wiping cache partition?
edit. I found.
None settings deleted. It just support's faster lauching of most used apps. After wiping, few lauching of the app restores previous condition of executing. May fix errors during opening some app, due to some overloads of this memory.
Because dalvik cache stores fragments of compiled code of an installed apps, and can be just deleted for restore some performance of system (it is restored after reboot).
Especially these wiping these two - dalvik and partition cache, is sometimes practised after installing lots of apps, to improve performance, maybe some errors.
Correct me if something's wrong.
(Link2SD) app is Play Store
Download this App from Store.
As some apps are not available or their updates sometimes not possible in the place I am currently living, China, I was looking for another third party app store and found 1mobile app. And just like some of you, traveling from one rom to another rom it was a pain to install over apps from app store in case roms got different build or even android versions, besides restoring apps by titanium backup causes some problems in some cases when I tried to restore my apps. After a while using and searching in 1mobile application I saw a very interesting feature which let me backup my apps by creating a folder called "onemobile_backup" without their data or messing around and restoring apps quickly.
So you can follow my tips if you are interested:
How to Backup
1- open 1mobile app and go to settings
2- go to end of settings option and hit Auto install and give root permission
3- and again hit Auto install and check if it enabled successfully
4- go to "Backup" and check every apps you like to backup
you can also update backup of any app, on "Backed Up tab": lower version in front of apps indicates that you have newer version available so just hit on small "x" behind the app (this would delete backed up app) then switch to "Available" tab and see that newer version is there, again tick and make a backup of new version.
How to Restore
If you already gave root permission skip 1,2,3.
1- open 1mobile app and go to settings
2- go to end of settings option and hit Auto install and give root permission
3- and again hit Auto install and check if it enabled successfully
4- go to "Backed Up" tab
5- tick every app you are going to restore
6- finally hit blue install button
7- wait for a little while and let the app restore your applications one by one
There maybe also similar apps doing the same but I found this app more convenient and quicker besides it's free and can update itself.
Get 1mobile market: View attachment onemobile.android-2.apk
Will this app backup the data of app just like titanium ?

No data. Only apps that's why I'm telling it won't cause any problem.

Hi everybody, on my S5 16GB (12GB real) I don't have enough space to install or update my apps
So I need to free some space, for example
Storage/media/.thumbnails/g900fxxu1boj1_5.0 is 509MB
Storage/apps/synthesis vocal 559MB
DOWNLOAD MANAGER 397MB
FACEBOOK Has 393mb under Apps and 240mb under Storage/media/.face
Can I free something?
You can wipe cached data by going into settings -> General -> Storage -> Cached Data which would probably clear 1GB or more.
Then go back and go to the application manager and swipe over to SD card and move as much apps as you can onto your SD card to free up some space.

Get rid of the Facebook and Messenger apps.....They 'hog' way too much of the devices resources and ask for totally un-needed permissions.
Replace them with a Web shortcut (on your home screen) to the web based mobile Facebook site.....you won't get notifications, but is it really *that* important to know if you've been 'poked' or if someone has mentioned you in some pointless post or liked a comment you left?
IMO......*real* life is more important......

Without knowing EXACTLY where on your phone that file is, and how it got there, I can't answer you.....

Storage Card\media\.thumbnails\g900fxxu1boj1_5.0
another strange folder
Storage Card\media\Mobi has three sub folders /.gen - /.alt - /.vcache for a total of 1140MB
I had eyefi mobi app, but on application manager was only 77MB, I uninstalled it but obviously didn't solve
If you have room to install one more app, get SD Maid and run it.....it should clear a lot of 'stuff'.....it may be that it even clears those files you've mentioned.......

Sorry, the app didn't help... Is the same as the "smart manager" which is installed by default
Ok....Make sure usb debugging is switched on (in developer options) then COPY those files to a pc. Then delete them from the phone (after you have noted their original location) That way, you can push them back to the device if their deletion causes problems.....
