memory problem???? 10gig in use?

i just bought a galaxy tab 10.1v
i have some small apps installed and one game (stupid zombies) and google body and when i check my installed apps it says i have 10gb in use and only 4 gb free? is this of the entire 16gb?
is this normal or something my fault?
Go to the "Storage" tab in settings. it will tell what is using all of the space.
It says 9.9 gb in use of programs?

Try using Settings->Applications->Storage Use. That will show you which applications are using how much storage. It looks like the preloaded Dungeon Defenders uses a whopping 631MB. My next biggest app is Fruit Ninja THD (which totally surprised me) at 27.5MB.
Ok i will try but dungeon defenders isnt pre installed on mine?

I would try a factory reset, and check again. Something is definitely not right.
I already tried it yesterday and the same day it saying 9.9gb in use

There is not a "Total In Use" field in the Storage view of the Settings app.
The fields are "Total Space", "Available" and one field for each application.
What are these fields in your case?
9.9 in Use and 4.2 free

You are not looking to the Storage view in the Settings app. Where are you getting these values from?
Please, go to the Storage view in the Settings app for real and report what you see there.
I find my values with
Menu
Settings
Apps
Memory use
Do i have to look somewhere else?

OK, now that we know that some apps are consuming the 10GB, go where you went before (Settings->Applications->Storage Use), select All applications and, one by one, check the Total Storage field for each application in the list.

My mistake, I thought it was pre-installed, but I don't really remember - my initial startup was a blur because I botched the initial link to my google account and then when I went back to connect to Google it didn't feel compelled to download any of my account's apps and so I spent an hour or so manually installing a bunch of stuff that I don't remember.
the biggest is the original gallery app and it is 30MB
Try to uninstall Google Body, I read somewhere that caused this issue.
i uninstalled it yesterday but the issue is still the same?

I don't know, probably this is the same issue.

Can you remove a game but keep the save?

I need more storage.

Not that I'm aware of. Maybe something like Titanium Backup could find the data file and back it up. I'm not sure how many people have tried to backup OUYA game data.

With such small storage space you need to be able to save your fills if you. delete a game. More storage is what we need.

Isn't there already a solution (app) that can move data files off to a HDD?
I haven't tried Titanium Backup on Ouya but with root access, it should work. Google has support for cloud saves but without the framework I don't think this is an option.
DataSync+ requires root and backs up data to the cloud. It also will auto search your network for other DataSync devices and allow syncing (so you can keep multiple devices in sync).
If you have a large drop box or box.net storage this is probably your best option.

I need to know if there a place to find just the save data.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
this is more game dependent. I know you can with GTA3 and GTAVC. The files are in the android/data directory and are composed of the three files. The large extra files are stored in the android/ogg directory. You just need to start a game after reinstalling, than can replace with your old game saves.
Other games, you'll have research or experiment.
Some games have where you can save to the cloud and sync, such ad Dead Trigger. This allows to play across multiple devices easily.
Gta3 is side loaded that doesn't help with things like sonic or a bards tale. I just thought they would have a update for this and to make more storage. You can even go to a list of the games you own so you know what you have.

[Q] Bad storage reading

Hi all,
I've got a nexus 4 here, running paranoid android 3.9, and my storage is just not right, When I calculate the taken up space by stuff like music, apps, others I should have a bit over 3gb of free space. And my phone says I've got 1gb. Any idea of what might be the problem?
I'll post a snapshot tomorrow when I get to the computer, for some reason it doesn't wanna post it from a phone.
Thanks!

Use the app Disk Usage: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage
When you use it, make sure you click /data not just sdcard because /data directory is more accurate for checking storage
Thanks,
CWM backups take a bit more space then the ones on my old phone, where they would be around 500mb and on my nexus is around 2gb

New to Note 4. Help me!

I recently bought it but my favorite games are giving FCs. I copied GTA SA and Asphalt 8 from my S3 data but they are just crashing. I have to copy obb to internal memory or on extSDcard? Why this is happening so, help please?
If you copied data from your S3 - It could be because of different screen size/resolution.
