Opera cache and low memory

Hi,
I now have 32 MB Storage left, and it is decreasing constantly. I read here that Opera cache could steel a lot of space. When looking I found quite a number of files in the windows/opera9/profile/cache-folder. Can I delete all of them, including the subdirectory revocation?
And next to the cache folder there is the cacheOp-folder containing 3 files only. Is this a different cache folder of some sort?
If you have other advice as to delete and/or move files/folders to save Storage space, I would be gateful
I have a 16 GB storage card still with lots of space.

leo hints and tips thread on the first page should help you out.

hunt down the "ram disk"thread. I have a 16 meg opera cache on the ram disk and opera flies.plus because its in ram it clears out every soft reset.

I had 40 mb in opera cache although i only setup 4 mb - but i expect it to be a limit per session, right?

Thanks! I will do some reading and testing - at least I should get some free Storage space from it

[Q] unusable internal memory

Hi, I am using MIUI with Android version 2.3.7. Everything is allright, but I only have 217 mb of internal memory in total. The MIUI ROM and other apss take up about 180 mb and although I have moved some apps to sd I now only have 40 mb available. It should have 512 mb internal memory. Why can't I see and use all of it? Is it possible that I didn't delete windows mobile or one of the other android roms I have used so far, though I am sure I have tried "clean install" a few times?

Dalvik cache & app data take up a lot of space too, you could move these to th SD ext partition to free up more internal memory. You will need a2sd installed I think to enable this.
Peace

the 'available internal memory' figure only counts the data partition size.
so (for example) if your rom requires a 200 meg system partition, you would show..
512 minus 200 minus whatever cache size you flashed minus the boot and recovery partitions (lets guess 50 meg) so your available internal memory on a completely fresh install, no data or apps, would still only show a max of 262meg available.
Also, if you flash a system partition bigger than required, you dont get the extra space to use. So flash a 180meg rom onto a 250 meg system partition, and you lose 70meg, the system wont use it for anything.

Thank you so much. My ROM itself is about 100 mb. How much data partition size should I actually spare for such a rom? Also could you please direct me to the post that tells me how to arrange the data partition size and do the rest of flashing my rom again? I would really like to have more available internal memory. Also I would be happy if you told me what ext 3 or ext 4, whatever it is called, is and if it has anything to do with internal memory.

If the rom is 100mb then you need a partion of at most 110 so if your using clk or magdlr..after you have wiped nand...partition it to 110 if possible or use 105 even cos you don't wanna be giving up wanted space..

[Q] low internal memory for nand ics beta 10 (tytung's)

HI, I'm currently using ics beta 10 as a rom for my hd2 but then I only got 150 mb of internal storage what's worst is that the actual storage I get to fill is only around 50 mb cause the rest 100 mb is being used by the rom applications, is there any way I could increase the size of my internal memory? can't install apps cause they say insufficient memory like if I have 30 mb left and the app size is around 17 mb it's still insufficient, thanks for the help!

Use a *2sd script check the FAQ in my sig on how to do it should still work i would say.

Would this script also work for IceCreamToasti 0.6 AOKP?

[q] usable storage is not reasonable

Hello everybody, i have a i9500 phone, with crash rom installed..
Here is the question,
In the storage section,
All Storage is 8,8
Apps are 2.9 GB
Photos, videos are 125 MB
Audio is 496 KB
Downloads is 114 MB
And the others are 44 and 70
But it says usable storage is 1,09
As you see, usable storage should be at least 4-5 gb,
Why is it like this and what should I do?
Tried flashing other roms like cm11 and phoenix, but no help.
Wiping data doesn't help either.
What should I do?

U can go check in settings -> more -> storage -> misc and see there can b thumbnail files with 100s mb of size u can delete that. Its not going to harm your real photos. Plus if u hv a backup there like Titanium or nandroid u can delete that too to increase space
If none works
Thn there is always external SD

Yea that's weird. I9505 here with the same exact problem, Echoe rom.
It says 9 GB available, 5 GB used, 800 MB free. :S

Same Problem

I have same problem. I calculate and all files 4 GB Capacity 8.9 GB it means around 5 GB free space. But it shows 200 MB free space. I could not understand why.

Did you guys solve this?
Anyone know how to fix this?
I was on custom rom, I had this problem. Now i'm back to stock but still 2 GB missing.

Solution
Alright finally fixed it. With ES file explorer I went to mnt > shell > 0 > Android > obb. Apparently, there were 2 game files that should've been deleted but for some reason they were there.
So yeah whatever it is, it can be found with root file explorers and can be deleted, you just gotta search.

Worth noting: if you've ever made a backup via recovery (cwm), it will eat up a good 3-4gb.

Yes but it would be seen in the storage info under miscellaneous category. The problem here was that some of the memory was missing without any info as to what's using it.

No, it doesn't show up on misc. Titanium backup will be listed, but not if you backed up using recovery. The back up I'm referring to is of the phone in its entirety which can be between 3-6gb.

Samsung J3 (2016) - internal memory almost full - who's using it?

I've got an almost fresh and empty J3 (2016) with stock Android 5.1.1
One of my friends has been complaining about low internal memory warnings.
So I installed TWRP and got it rooted.
It shows the following:
System memory - 7,02 GB
Used space - 664 MB
Available space - 310 MB
And when I do a TWRP backup, it says - ok, system partition is approx 1.4 GB, data 800 MB. In total, full system backup is slightly more than 2 GB.
Where did the rest 6 GB of internal memory go?
Mind you, there is *no* pictures, no video, no apps, nothing.
Wiped cache/dalvik.
But 5 or 6 gigs are still missing. Whats wrong with this picture?
Maybe there's a hidden partition? Can you give me a hint how to visualize ALL internal memory, all available partitions? And possibly kill and resize the useless ones.
I'd greatly appreciate it!
