Does anyone suffer from this? The phone thinks that there is only 500MB of space available but there is heaps (and it shows this after it calculates everything and even reflects in the graph).
All the warnings about running out of space are very annoying.

I suspect that doing nandroid backups causes this somehow. Formatting the /data partition fixes this up, but it's a bit drastic.

I have the exact same problem. I'll try to erase everything incuding internal.
I'll get back to you after that.
/// Indeed, after wiping internal storage solves this problem.
Glad it's not just me.
I'd like to know a less cumbersome solution than to format, though.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is specifically a Nexus question or a general Android question but I have both a Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 and have observed the same behaviour on both
I have posted in the General section with nor response so now I'm posting on specific forums
Basically what's happening is when I delete stuff from the SDcard the free space seems to be allocated to the system partition WTF?!
Take a look at the screenshots I'm going to try a couple of things - one of the suggested things was clearing the data in the Google Services Framework data >> Settings - Apps - All - Google Services Framework - Clear Data - which freed up some of it but not all, the next thing from here for me would be to flash the factory images again and see what I start out with
Both devices are on CM10.1 if that helps, is anyone else is having the same issue??

Ok so this is my partition sizes now after flashing the factory images back onto my nexus 7. No where near 5GB anyone have any idea what's causing this?
Well, I restored my tablet to factory settings using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796 because my screen wasn't detecting my screen touches. Now, of course, a new problem arises. I purchased the 16GB version. I know this because just yesterday I saw 15GB available for total memory. Now Windows is telling me I have only 6???

i know the pain of using win8, mate. reminds me of the vista days... anyways, the rom didn't recognise your storage space correctly, try flashing a different version of andorid, it shoudl solve the problem

Im not entirely sure how much the 16gb Nexus4 should have available but my device is running out of space. Out of the 13gb partition I only have 4gb available.

That space quote is with only 1 clockwork backup.
How are you coming up with 10GB?
Use the app Diskusage to see what's eating up your space. Seriously, everybody should have this app.

For the sdcard, DiskUsage will report this space as 'System Data'
If you have root, which you probably have, you can point DiskUsage at directories outside of the SDCard to see where your space went.
attached chat with motorola. can't find these info from search within this forum, so I thought I'd share this conversation record. mine is currently unlocked+rooted. the only thing I don't get is that the 16GB version after upgrade to lollipop+factory reset only gives me 7.8GB left with 10GB of total space, so something ate half of the internal storage with factory reset lollipop on this phone.

16 GB is the total size. This includes the space used by the system, recovery, cache, etc partitions.

I expected lollipop to eat about 2.5GB of the 16GB. it surprised me that pure edition also has lots of pre-installed apps that you can't uninstall and something else not known to me eating 6GB of space.
Hello guys,
I used couple android phones earlier and after i kept installing many apps, i ran out of system space in my phone though i had enough internal memory in my phone. So i tries to use xda apps ( forgot names) to move apps and clean up space.
1 I am wondering where do these app get installed in my S8?
2 if i keep updating apps or if i keep installing new apps, will i run out of space?
Please check screenshot from S8 below:

Apps aren't installed to /system, they are installed to /data and it says you have 30GB free so you're fine.

Thanks for replying, now. I wonder how does "system" gets full?
/system should not be your concern unless you root your phone.
this is used exclusively for system files, and data here is only changed when you install a system update.
the manufacturer will make sure no update will ever cause the system storage to fill up completely.
