Hi,
Not a biggie, more a frustration that I don't understand.
Is this correct with regard Internal Memory.
Am I missing something
I can't see how I am using over 12gb of memory, I don't have video, music etc on the phone that I know of, Titanium is around 1 Gb which seems normal. CWM backup is around 500MB.
1. Is there a way to see what is using my memory?
2. What can I safely delete to free up memory if needed?
Many thanks as always.

Have you checked the partitioning? I don't know how or why it would be altered, but there seems to be a discrepancy between the visual bar graph (which shows mostly gray = free space) and the actual space it reports to be available.

Thanks for the quick replies,
My second picture was taken when I run Clean Master and shows that I only have 6% free.
I have run and posted the SD Maid, which shows I have only 700MB left.
The graph on my first pic 'the grey bit' shows loads of space. And adding up segments it totals about 4GB .so in theory I should have loads left.
The only issue is that I get low memory warnings when I creeps over 95% and I can't see what is using up the memory to clean/clear it.

Perhaps you can do a factory reset and see if the problem persists. Backup your important data first.

As much as I have been avoiding this I have wiped and factory reset and I am back to 10GB in use and 2ish available.
Still not convinced and still confused as to what is causing it.
Factory reset only deleted internal data. Try also wiping data from recovery. Backup your stuff first.

I did wipe all and dalvic and that is what went down to 10GB.

I'm running Myn's warm 2.2. The thing that really gets me is I have 41.94 mb available. I could fit dozens more apps.
Is there any way I can change when that stupid low memory thing go's off. I would like to change it to something more reasonable like 10mb.
Did you do a full wipe before flashing your rom....you should have way more space than that....
Sent from my rooted evo using the xda app....if I helped you, please click Thanks!
I did a full wipe when I flashed my rom like three weeks ago. It's low because of apps. It's just it seems like that annoying notifaction shouldn't op up when I have that much space
Im all stock and had the same problem after i got a furbed phone from sprint. Was werid, I actually DL 4 apps and then said the same thing and then deleted all of them and STILL said it!
I had the same problems on several roms I found most of the space was taken either by the address book storage, or calendar storage clearing that and let it re sync solved the problem. I would recommend also going with roms that have the delvik cache moved to the cache partition that gives you about 80 megs more space. A few of the developers out there have that tweak.
Tips to increase available storage aside, I really wish there was a way to turn the notification off or adjust the threshold. To me, 10% is too high. You can still do plenty with 41MB left.
Yeah, I got that the other day. I bought a Class 10 16 GB card so I can do apps2sd. *sigh*...too many apps.
running ava Z1 and i still have 231 MD free
Do a full wipe & manually restore everything, it'll do more than just a dalvik & cache wipe which only seems to free up a few MB of internal storage.
Tedious but a healthy habit.
I had the same issue....check out the thread

This is a refurbed phone I got a month or so ago. I do have way more than 4 apps though!
Just today when I updated my apps I got a bunch of insufficent space errors, with 40.89mb's free. Are there any apps that I can use to check how much space is left besides settings-sd+phone storage.
you will seriously find all this information in the thread i posted, it's not very long either

I think your link is broken. Doesn't work when I click on it.
Why not download App2SD from the market place and move some of your apps to the SDCARD. This will free up space from your phone's internal storage.

Thanks for fixing the link! I'd actually read that before. My contact storage is a whopping 3.7 mb yours was 157mb. You fixed yours by chopping your contact storage by chopping your contact storage way down and switching completely to a apps2sd.
I don't really think that that is the solution, in your thread there was a guy running cm 6 that got down to 12mb left. I can't get down below 40mbs without getting insufficient space errors. It seems like there must be a setting wrong somewhere.
What I recently did was installed Dark tremors a2sd on my phone. It actually moves all your apps to sd and frees up so much memory. It's frickin awesome. First you have to partition your sd card if you haven't already. To do so you must first create a backup of your sd to your computer as prtitioning will wipe the sd. Also I only now how to partition the sd using Amon RA recovery, it's much easier than using clockwork. Partition up to ext3.
To find Dark Tremors flashable zip go here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...hlight=apps2sd
I'll tell you what, if you cant figure out the rest, PM me and I will give you my number to help walk you through it if you need. Good luck.
BTW, I'm also using Myn with about 95 apps and have 227mb left in my phone.
did you check out the app that lets you explore the "app usage" on your phone. It should help you figure out what is eating all the memory.
I think you are probably going the wrong direction in terms of just trying to lower the low space threshold or get rid of the warning. 40mb will dwindle further and further until it creates other issues, and there is TONS of space on the evo, you need to address the low space issue, not the notification.
Use that app and browse through your internal storage, if you cant figure out whats eating up your space i *highly* recommend you root and install darktremors a2sd. I hate messing with my phone and trying to do that kind of stuff and i really had no problems when i finally caved and did it, it was all pretty simple and the instructions are laid out well.
Just plugged my Xoom in this morning, first time in a couple of days and my storage is full. I've calculated all the apps I've got installed based on the 'Manage Applications' reported storage usage and with all the apps I've got installed I'm at about 1.5gb, yet when I go to 'Storage' in Settings it reports I've got 11gb of apps installed. My normal storage usage hasn't changed, I've used about 16gb with music and roms and such, but somehow magically I'm using 11gb of storage for apps that it can't actually find... What do I do? Any suggestions? Never had anything like this happen on my Droid so I'm pretty lost.
edit: It's also keeping me from installing anything at all or even updating apps... Pretty annoying.
Just a guess but did you take application storage onto account PR just the application itself. 10 Gig seems excessive for application storage but some games have large files.

The game data for all my games seems in line with the games I'm playing. In the 'Manage Applications' menu, it shows aggregate total, including application storage.
I just uninstalled all the big apps, still nothing. Astro didn't help me figure anything out either, I've got absolutely no idea what's using 11gb of storage now, I certainly have less than 1gb installed and I've only got 2gb free.
Wound up backing everything up and resetting it to defaults... Have no idea what happened but I'll be pretty annoyed if it happens again.

How did you go about doing your backup (and restore)? Are you rooted?

From the market, download an app called DiskUsage. It provides a visual breakdown of all of the data on your device. It should be fairly easy using this app to identify why and where all of this used data is coming from. Hope it helps.
Title pretty much says it all. I can't really find any solid info on this.
Thanks in advance.
I thought the modern ROMs specifically made use of this for OS related reasons but it appears to be for internal storage space issues only that I can find info.
Without the sd-ext extension you could use apps2sd but the data from your apps would still take up internal memory and at some point you would run out of internal memory.
With sd-ext and a program like link2sd (or s2e which I am not familiar with), you could store the app and also the app data on the sd-ext partition. Obviously for some games, this would make a big difference, but for me space is not an issue - however ...
My wife's older samsung had a ridiculously small internal storage space and apps2sd didn't cut it. After formatting an ext partition and using link2sd I was able to free up way more space and now her phone works again.

If phones are low on internal space, does the performance of the phone suffer? Just wondering. Everytime i get everything set up on my phone I have around 300mb of internal storage left, so it isn't a problem for me.

Definitely a problem if you are low on space; my wife's phone basically ground to a halt and would pop up errors re space and apps would just close spontaneously and take her back to the home screen. - of course her storage space issue was very severe.

Yes, noticed with sense ROMs that my system partition was full and didn't sit well with me. I basically just wanted the weather on the lockscreen.
Once I used the script after flashing ROM I had way more space.
Basically there is a default script, but you can modify it as you like. They have done a really good job with this. I wouldn't flash a sense ROM anymore wo using this tool.

Can someone help me figure out what's up with my storage space on my N7? I'm getting a notification saying "Storage space running out". According to this screenshot, I should have about 8.1 GB used. With 13.24 total that should leave me with about 5 GB free. Now I understand there are some other things that take up space, but how can that be over 4.5 GB's worth? Anyone have any ideas on what might be taking up all that space, and if there's anything I can do about it? I have a bunch of pinned documents on my Google drive, but they should be more than a few MB. I don't want to do a full reset and have to re-root and re-add all my apps and documents and media. I've tried rebooting a couple of times with no change. I can add any additional information that would be helpful.
I have the same problem, made a thread and no suggestions. Is this a hardware issue? I don't see any similar issues except for Nexus 7's.

For future reference, the flash usage reported in that image that you posted is not all inclusive, it only reports storage used by apps/music/videos/downloads, as it says. The reported free space should be correct though, but if you add up the usage that it shows it won't necessarily make sense with the free space that it reports because other things use storage that it is not reporting.
I have a little over 30mb left on a internal memory and i can't download or even run some of my apps any more, it keeps telling me not enough space or storage is running out evwn though i have about 53gb on my ext.sd. I have tried moving apss to ext. infact most of my apps show as copied to ext. but i still have this problem. Anybody has any idea what i can do ?

Go into settings/storage and look at the coloured breakdown of how the data is being taken up - are apps still the main culprit?

Sounds like some of the apps you have moved to the microSD card have only partially moved their data. Perhaps if you go through each app which has a large amount of data and see exactly where its data is located you may get to the bottom of things. In the past i've noticed that some games that have a large amount of data only more a proportion of it to the MicroSD card (from memory i think NOVA might be like that).

I found Fifa 14 and NFS most wanted each had over 1gb on internal SD, I've deleted them but now the games don't work. At least I have some free space and I can always reinstall when I figure out what's happening. Thanks.
