On both my Nexus 4 & Nexus 7 running latest factory Jellybean I have noticed that whenever I update an app using the Google play store I get a little popup message saying 'Internal Storage Left' and then a number that is only a couple of MB.
Both my devices have quite a few GB free so I am wondering what this means, where it is coming from and how to stop it.
Cheers
Baz.

Glitch why?
You all get wrong number of mb left?
In my case it shows the correct size.

I have 7.3gb left under storage info. But when installing or uninstalling apps in market notification pops up saying I have xx.xMB left.

After careful examination of the logs, I noticed that it's ES File Explorer's fault. Uninstall it, and you will be fine.
I hate this software anyway, terrible UI, and now spamming with Toasts.

But ES is a great file explorer, just change the toast setting
There is no setting for this in ES File Explorer.
In fact there is, but it's disabled. And I get the toast every time I install/uninstall an app.
I won't uninstall ES. It's by far the best file explorer and includes music player, apk backup, cloud clients... A must have. I have to admit the UI is very ugly but who cares.
If there is another file explorer that can back up apk I might switch from ES File Explorer, but so far I haven't found any. And the alternative apps that back up APK I've tried don't rename them properly like ES File Exporer. Super Backup and Helium does it, but they also backup the app data in conjunction.
Don't worry about that message. I ignore it now. Sometimes it pops up and sometimes it doesn't. I have esExplorer as well. But am not gonna uninstall it just cause of some glitch.

I actually think it's pretty useful, wouldn't mind it implemented into a custom rom feature.
You can stop Es File Explorer from announcing it simply uncheck "Show notifications" in Settings -> Apps, or Greenify it.

You can change the way it looks you know? Just untick show notifications in settings>apps.

glad i found this thread. got the same message with lots of different roms, so I was a bit afraid it might be a hardware issue on my side.

For those of you stupid enough to root your xoom (yea i did too), what apps have you deleted? Keep in mind there is no going back if you screw something up.
Things i have deleted safely.

Dungeon Defenders

I got rid of the stock e-mail app. Something about having that app in my app drawer despite NEVER using it always drove me crazy on my OG Droid, so after flashing a ROM it was always my first thing to delete. (I'm talking the e-mail app, not the gmail app)
EmailGoogle.apk it is, although I only renamed the file extension w/Root Explorer, didn't actually delete it yet. Going to wait for a full recovery option before going that route
NEVER delete an app from the system folder without a backup. OTA updates check for these files before they run, and they will not complete without them, no matter how stupid the app.
Instead rename the app by adding an extension such as program.apk.no and android will ignore it. It's really dumb to delete things forever.
You can also pull the apps to your computer using adb first.

Exactly what I did!
EmailGoogle.apk ---> EmailGoogle.apk.bak
App gone, but file there for later

I just move them to sdcard. But I also have the system dump if needed.

My question is: I usually delete apps like this: in app manager:wipe cache,wipe data,uninstall
This way,The app will totally be deleted?I mean no junk files,no system files,no hidden files will be left from the app?
That's what I do. However there usually send to be done stuff left behind.
So I just go thru every now and then and get rid of it.
Idk why it does not go 100% away.

I would like to know the best way to do this as well. Lite Flow left all kinds of information on my phone after deleting it, including access to pretty much all the information on my phone. Is there a way, after the fact, to clear all of its data from my phone?

Have you tried any file explorer ?
I use es explorer to delete system files.
Haven't checked it that it completely deletes the file or not.

My phone is rooted and I have es explorer; the problem is that I have no clue where that kind of information is stored on Android (Like in Windows I know it would pretty much all be in the Program Files directory and in the Registry. If data is stored similar to my Linux desktops, then the information can be all over the place and not consistent from program to program).
EDIT: I contacted the developer and he told me what directory to delete, and that fixed the problem.
So I have this pop-up ( https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3kAm0MqKUNzcEVSYTdYSjdJcnc/edit?usp=sharing ) I want to turn it off, because it annoys me, when apps update it keeps disturbing me, pauses apps, gets in front of screen, really annoying when you have 10 apps that need to update, can't use the phone normally at that time.
Anyone know if this is System related or is it an app doing this, and can you disable it? I don't remember having it before, I don't think that I did.
download: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard
and clean the junk files.
btw - you have 8gb or 16gb?
Do you have ES File Explorer installed. There exists a bug. If you do, make sure you have display low space error unticked in display settings. For some people, it still displays. It is supposed to be fixed in the next release.

I had that App once, but it deleted local data from one game and I had to re-download it to be able to use cloud back-up, good thing I had that.
I have difficulties with lack of free space with 16gb, I can't imagine how bad it is with 8gb, I have to keep my iPod because my Nexus doesn't have enough space for all the music.

I do, indeed. I thought it might be that app, I checked 3 times for all the settings at the app to see if there is not a feature that might make the pop-up.
I have it unticked already, so I guess I will have to wait for the update. Thanks!
Good morning all.
I just discovered that if I put any of my phone apps into folders (e.g. put Phone or Messages or Video into into a folder in the app drawer) and reboot, the apps are magically dumped from their respective folders back into the root folder (app drawer).
Does anyone else have this issue?

There is thread with this exact problem, try to find it. From what I remembered, if you add apps to folder by clicking on that plus sign, they will disapear. You need to click on menu button and then edit. Here you should edit your folders and then save. Once done this way, they will stay in their folders.

Thanks for the response. I'll give that a shot. I used that method to do my other apps; phone apps seem to be the only ones affected. Will let you know how it turns out and will also look into that thread when I find it.

That seems to have done the trick. The phone apps are staying inside their folders and they're not magically popping back into the root folder. Thanks!

Apps don't stay in folders

Solution: Do not use the plus sign inside the folders, or the apps will fall out of the folders when you reboot. Instead, press “Edit,” and drag and drop the apps into the folders. This will keep the apps inside the folders. Honest. It worked for me.
I just had a notification come up in my notification bar. The first one was a speech bubble similar to Facebook Messenger but was red in colour and it states that a lot of apps have used up the battery and gave me an option to "Fix Now". I didn't choose to "fix it" as I didn't recognise the notification. About 20-30 minutes later, I had another one referring to high CPU usage. I've attached screenshots. To my recollection, I haven't installed anything new on my phone.
Does anyone recognise this at all?
Maybe an app updated and added in the ads. Like ES file explorer did. Any updates to apps recently?

I was going to say it looks like ads from ES File Explorer. Loved the app until the ads showed up.
Actually, I think you're right as far as ES File Explorer. After I took the screenshots, that notification had disappeared altogether. I then went to open ES File Explorer and it reappeared.
Thanks guys.

I'm not much for posts with no added value but felt the urge to thank you for the follow up post. All too often people never get back with the outcome or fix or even that they gave up and moved on to a different rom or whatever. So for reporting what the root cause was,I thank you. :good:
And switch to solid explorer if your still looking for a good file browser
