So I had 2gb free I used analyzer and it showed VPLAYER was using 12gb. I went to the directory and deleted the cached mp4 files. However after deleting long and uninstalling the program my note3 shows only 2gb free.
I then downloaded another analyzer app which shows the right value. However the system still does not see it. Please help!
Edit. Still not sure how deleting those files kept thembin system memory any idea how to fix it?

According to me it’s a system bug. I’m on 4.4.2 from the start when I got the phone and once I installed a game which was over 12GB and as it had some bug I uninstalled it and after done the system was still showing memory including the 12GB. The system didn’t reduced the space calculation after uninstall. Even after long time, I was frequently checking. But after restart it was showing correct free space.
Deleting any files from the stock File explorer never had this issue. I will say after deleting large file by any external apps, restart the phone. And use ccleaner to clear chase memory and clear more space. It’s a good app.

I have just noticed that my memory is nearly full. (Only 6mb left)
Is there any software that can remove junk from here???
I don’t install software to this only to the storage card so I don’t understand how it can be full.
Any ideas anybody???

try using memmaid
If you use the Opera Browser try to clear the Cache
sometimes there are over 20MB on my Diamond!
Google Maps Mobile keeps a cache file that can get quite huge (mine was 27mb). It's in Application Data/GoogleMaps.
If you run GoogleMaps download the new version from m.google.com/maps and when you install it you have it removes the old version completely then asks where you would like to install the new one, opt for the Internal Storage, memory regained and no more clearing the Google Maps cache
Found the same if you install the Opera 9.7 Beta, that can be 'replaced' to the internal storage and therefore any cache can be kept forever (upto a 4 gig limit obv). I also deleted the 'Opera' folder out the Windows directory after installing the new version and this cleared up around a further 6mb, Only recommend installing the new Opera if you don't mind a glitchy browser, I have gone back to stock for now tho.
Also, try moving the 'My Documents' directory from the root to the Internal Storage, everything still works the same.
Hope this helps...

How full is the phone memory? Details...
Did you download something? Downloaded files usually goes to the root of the main memory.
search moving cache on here, that takes up a big chunk of memory...

how , pls tell me
I've got the same problem with my son's phone it keeps on coming up with the message "your phone is running low on free storage space. delete old or unused items to create more space" when I look in file explorer/ windows/youtube its full of old files but will take for ever to delete them indavidualy does anyone know how to remove these old files as I can't access them when the phone is conected up to the pc, plus is it possible to change the cache so these files are saved to the memory card instead.
Please help as my son is driving me around the bend asking me to fix it !!!!!
Hard reset the phone to clear the storage.
Also check you don't have something like voice recorder activating in your pocket or something creating large files of nonsense filling the memory.
I've managed to delete all the old you tube files 525 of them but storage memory is still full
total 180.98mb
in use 177.89mb
free 3.09mb
so now I don't know whats using allthe memory
does any one have any idea whats wrong
cheers

youcan access them from your computer so long as you allow hidden and system files.(in win 7 open the phones windows folder, click alt, tools, folder options, then I think its the second tab, un tick hide protected files and the hidden files one, apply and they should appear.you MAY need to apply to all folders)
or, use resco explorer on your hd2, much than the built in one and will also allow you to choose to un hide system and hidden files.
as for multi select...in resco is a menu option for multi select.
Going to do a hard reset but can't keep on doing that every time it fills up it's only been 2 weeks since it was last reset.
Suddenly, youtube didn't want to open, claiming too little memory.
I checked and saw I had only 1.3MB left internally.
I decided to remove some installed apps, but that only gave another 5MB or so.
Then I used explorer and checked the program files directory and saw that the uninstalled apps still had directories in there with files in them.
I manually deleted those folders and was back to 50MB free internal memory.
strange.
Treesize mobile is free from MS Marketplace and very useful for tracking down those large folders.
Thank you for that tip, and sorry for the late reply.
Treesize mobile helped a lot.
It made me see that opera9 kept all downloaded cab files in the folder
windows/opera9/profile/download.
It was about 79MB of cab files, using internal storage memory, which I did not need and had no idea were there.
I removed some applications to regain some storage space but it is depleting constantly. I cannot figure it out why. I use SD card to keep Opera cache. How can I prevent the storage space from depleting? Thanks.
I had same problem. I realised that when iuse you tube hundreds of files download temporary in system/windows/you tube. So delete that folder completely. But you will loose your history. And see in the folder system/application data/htc/ htc album/cache. And delte all files except maptable and thumbcaches. These files are not needed. and it also weighs a lot.
Thanks a lot Urvansh. I deleted all the files in htc album/cache except maptable and thumbcaches as you suggested. The files I deleted had taken about 18MB.

low on internal storage memory?, read this:
It seems that opera9 keeps all cab files you downloaded in the folder:
windows/opera9/profile/download/
I bet you opera10 does the same.
I had about 79MB of application cab files there, using up internal storage memory, which I did not need, and had no idea were there.
I found them using 'treesize mobile', available on the marketplace for free.
Also, I checked the program files folder and found that applications which I had previously uninstalled still had folders in there with files in them.
Go check out Clear Temp which is a great little app that helps you keep most of those pesky temp folders cleaned out and not using memory resources.
Hi,
I had 1 GB worth of .wav files saved on my internal storage via the Easy Voice Recorder app. I kept getting storage space notifications and the Galaxy gives you the option to view files by type. Under Miscellanious, there was a file called EasyVoiceRecorder - I though it was a temp file of sorts so I deleted it (like a total idiot). Turns out, it wasn't a temp file but a folder containing all my .wav files.
I've since rooted the phone, bought Disk Digger and ran a scan. It only returned a hand full of small .wav files but not the ones I deleted.
I've been told Recuva might help but that works via PC and will require my internal storage to be mapped as a drive. I can't find a way to do this.
Any ideas?
I've had about the same problem, but then with pictures I've accidentally deleted.
I've used Easy Recovery Pro and scanned my complete internal memory (agressive scan).
Took a while, but I was able to recover all pictures I deleted.
Solid state storage cannot be recovered once items are deleted. The only way would be if it somehow had something like a "recycle bin" like windows does. I wouldn't know for sure if that exists.
