Hi, my internal storage (1 GB) is only 200 MB free. Someone say that I should clear the /data/lost+found folder, but i am not able to access /data with any file manager. How can I recover internal storage space? It happened after installing Android 2.3.5; i haven't much applications...
Thanks, Max
It seems to me that you are in error ...
1 - The internal memory is 2GB sd in U8800
2 - That you say have free memory is memory for rom, hence only 200Mb free ...
To see the 2GB you have to root the phone, and oh yes, after that Can you see in file manager real internal sd memory.
Excuse my bad writing

Hi Bruno, I don't think to be in error.
I can see a 1,56 GB memory (it is the /sdcard, the internal sd card, completely free)
I see a 4 GB memory (it is the /HWUserData, my external microsd card)
Finally there is a 1 GB memory, that is called "internal archive" and someone say that it is the /data (NAND or ROM)
I think I have to access /data to free some memory. I will try ES File Explorer with root permission... the I will update the post.
Thank you very much for you answer.

Ok, I understand.
Or you should have repartitioned the memory ... usually because the dimensions in which the U8800 are told ... Sd 2GB internal memory and a 600MB rom ... if you have 1Gb 1.5Gb and re-broke is because the memories!!
Or your phone is not the U8800 ... is another model (U8800 or U8800 PRO-51) that have 4GB of internal memory ... check behind the battery the actual model ...
Again excuse my bad writing! Google translator, lol

I say this from being another model, because the folder is HWUserData which is usually the internal memory ... to the micro sd is the external sdcard folder!!

Because there are some apps that you cant simply move to the ext partition and have to be installed on internal memory i.e. gmail, youtube and updates!
yes I know that! thank you ...but I hade all that apps when installed new rom...3days internal phone memoty was 161mb and after that installed only games (apps 2 sd always aksked me to move to sd and succesfully moved them)..on phone list apps is onlu market and 3gwatchdog...on SD apps list is everything i downloaded but still dont have 161mb ...now there is 142mb and still shrinking!!! How about now???
app2sd or similar isn't moving all app-data to sd I think

Yes,but moveSD enabler does. App2SD only ask for some app's
the "problem" is, move2sd creates a sort of "link" to the data on the SD card. Thus, when you install lets say an app of 15MB, 14MB goes to the SD card, but 1MB of data (files that can't be run of the SD card + link to SD card) stays on your internal phone memory.
So when you install lets say 100 apps, that all have 1MB of essential data and 14 MB of move-to-sd-able data your internal storage shrinks by 100MB and your SD cards' storage shrinks by 1400MB.
Its shrinking because app data is still stored on internal memory.
Please post in correct section. This has nothing to do with development.

If you have a newer stock-rom (2.2.1, JPY,JS5) you can put some apps from the system memory to the internal sd (System/Application/Manage Application). The errormsg is because you run low of system memory.
bye
sorry but im really confuse i got this
External SD
total: 7.41Gb
available: 6.33gb
Internal SD
total:5.78gb
available: 5.70gb
then there is this internal phone storage
1.63gb available
whats the difference on internal SD and the internal phone storage? is there any way we can merge the internal sd and internal phone storage. coz what i notice is when im installing apps it goes on the internal phone storage and external sd but the internal sd doesnt change even a thing

When i remember correctly is the internal sd some sort of extra memory for your phone. On the internal phone memory is the android system and space for some apps.
It is not possible to merge the mem. You can free mem when you put the apps from the internal phone mem to the internal sd.
bye
ah so it means that when u transfer the installed apps on sd it goes on internal sd not external sd one?

Hey guys i have a question, on my ideos x5 it says that i must have 2GB internal memory.. But in SD properties where i can check my free space it says that my internal SD Card is Total 2GB and i have free 2 GB's and beneath that i says that my internal available memory is 395MB?
What is this?
Thank you very much!
This got me confused too.. I think the 2GB one is an internal one where it installs the apps or something, the external one is the one you put in and the other one is where it holds it's ram maybe?
This got me confused too.
If you go to Settings > SD card and phone storage you will see:
SD Card, mounted as /sdcard, which is your external SD card.
Internal SD Card, mounted as /HWUserData, which is the 2GB build-in SD card, you cannot install apps there if you have an external SD card.
Internal phone storage, mounted as /data, part of the NAND storage (so-called ROM), which is the data partition for the data of apps installed on phone.
I recently bought an L7, added it a 32gb memcard, im already using link2sd with a 2nd part on the same card...
Now the problem is that the phone also has its internal memory as SD card and all of the media is stored in the internal 3gb memory, how the heck am I supposed to make the phone save all of the "internal sd card" data to the actual external sd?

Its a wild try, but you could try to get the "Rom Toolbox Pro" on the internet and install it on the phone, there is a tweak for that in the app.
Hi guys.
On my latest post I saw that I'm using LineageOS with encryption but I think that I have a problem.
I have 16Gb as internal storage and 32Gb SD card as external. I formated to use SD card as extended internal storage. On storage settings display correct 9Gb used from 43 Gb total storage, but ES File explorer and Windows 8.1 display that I have 4.95Gb used from 10.82Gb total storage.
How to I solve this? Thanks.

@joubertredrat
That's calculation of all partitions (system,, OEM, and many one)..
As you know from PC it shows 10GB total and in Screenshot (of storage) it's 14GB.. that means 4 GB is covered for System and other partition purpose (which is not calculated by PC and it cannot be used for user purpose), while you have used 4GB out of 10GB...
I hope i explained right..?
@____Mdd I also thought it was a miscalculation but is very strange, It is as if display only the internal storage and not SD card.
For me this is very strange.
