I am running out of memory on my Redmi 2 Prime (16GB memory and 2GB RAM). When I do a reset I still have only 1.38GB available.
I only want to run a few apps but run out of space after updating a few times.
How can I free up more space?
Thanks!
I have tried the reset option through the Settings menu, and I did a hard reset using the Up and Power buttons and the system menus. Same result
Is there a custom ROM that is smaller and stable?
Did a hard reset and the amount of free space reduced even further
If it still doesn't fixed up, have you check that your internal storage is empty? (No Files)
Try to reset from the MiRecovery menu. (Power+Volume Up+Volume Down)
Have checked Media and Downloads. Can check for local backup of settings by MIUI.
Would have expected factory reset to clear these, but probably a good idea to check

So I was thinking since I have been downloading, trying, messing, uninstalling, installing etc etc
You get the picture.
Was thinking of giving my Galaxy a bit of a clean.
So my thoughts were:
Option A
1. Make a record of what programs I actually like not what I have installed.
Maybe screen shots might be the idea.
2. Factory data reset my Galaxy.
3. Unmount and format my internal memory
4. Unmount and format my SDCard
5. Do settings and account
6. Install applications.
7. Transfer music.
Sound like a good idea??
Option B
Someone said I should clean out what applications I don't want first and suggested an easier method.
1. Backup data and system settings with BackupPro
2. Backup applications with AppMonster
3. Factory reset.
4. Unmount and format my internal memory
5. Unmount and format my SDCard
6. Install applications Appmonster
7. Install settings and data BackupPro
8. Transfer music.
Which option would be better. Would I get some bad data if I did Option B.
Advice greatfully received.
MyBackup (a back up program ) lets you choose what programs to backup.
You could just backup what you need you want to keep, hard reset it, and put what you want back on.
Thats my suggestion. I'll be doing this soon, I've been messing around so much with it!
Yeah one of my options is to do this.
I have folders and junk left over from Applications I have uninstalled.
If I installed Clockwork will it be removed with a Factory Data reset or should I flash the phone again with JM2.?
ClockworkMod is stored on the internal SD card, so a factory reset shouldn't remove it (I'm not sure if flashing a firmware wipes the internal SD though).
Try TitaniumBackup for your backup needs.
Why do you want to format the SDCard? Is that really necessary? Does it really improve the performance? (I hope not, transfering 14Gb of music files is just too much)
And, do you a perform a factory reset from the settings/privacy menu on the galaxy or from the bootscreen (that is triggered by adb reboot command). I have the idea that the first option is much more thorough than the second.

For JP2 their was a noticable improvement after reformating the SDCard.
Since I have a lot of left over folders and what's not was thinking this could be a good time to clean up.
I would use the Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset.
Something is not right:
I have used up 2.99GB for apps + movies, just 3.5MB for pictures, 20KB anf 64MB for Downloads - and yet I only have just 900MB storage space remaining???
Where are the approx. 10 other GB I should have available as storage space... Any idead/suggestions, anyone ??

Did it show that you had 13.x GB free when you first got it? I've read of a few instances where the other people who had this problem had to do something like a factory reset before it properly allocated the free space.
Give it a factory reset/wipe, I was missing some 3GB out of nowhere that I could see.
Thanks, guys... I'll give that a try!

Dumb me...
Apparently, Clockworkmod backups do not show in the JB Settings>Storage view.
Found out about my "rather excessive backup habit" after downloading the excellent "DiskUsage" app from the Play Store... Deleted some of my backups and did a "Factory Reset" via Settings menu.
Et voilà, 10+ GB available again...
Thanks androidarmin,
I was having a hard time figuring out why I couldnt get rid of the 13GB of data that was on my tab.
I tried the factory reset and clearing cache and all that....but all of the old data was still on there.....games and apps.
I wanted to start fresh!
DiskUsage worked awesomely!

I too had this problem and tried factory reset but to no avail. I suspect the only way is to wipe everything from recovery (i.e. including internal storage)
hello
bought today used XT907, it comes with 183.46.15 (BL Locked, cant root)
all is working phone. available space is 4.6 out of 8gb on factory reset
now after installing several apps , new apps downloads but on installation gives error : Insufficient space available
but more than 600Mb is free in phone memory. this is getting on my nerves
no download app has option of move 2 sd card as well,
I have tried clearing cache of google play as well
when I enter recovery through Button Combinations. It says No command provide (or something like that, dont remember) instead of option of reboot /data cache reset etc
To enter recovery when at that screen with Android Andy on his back that says no command hold vol up and tap the power button... Try to move all your documents and pics to your SD card... The bloat apps that you don't use uninstall the updates and disabled them... Clear the cache of all other apps...
We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves.

From what I can tell, most versions of Android (since at least ICS) will attempt to reserve some space so that you don't fill it all the way up (which can cause a multitude of problems). Thus, the cutoff for installing apps is right around 500-600 MB on most devices.
Dears,
I just bought my S5, suddently unpgraded to Lollipop.
Briefly, I can install 50% of the apps I had before, it's going out of storage.
I did a full wipe after upgrade, so there's no wasted space in the storage.
I couldn't find a partitions scheme, some I'm here to ask if this numbers are normal:
There's a lot of data in the cache, I need to frequently wipe it.
But overall, tapping used space I see in detail 7.5GB of applications, while going to application manager and summing all applications' size I arrive to 3.4GB only: it seems there's 4GB lost somewhere:
Anybody noticed the same?
Where can I check partition sizes for the S5?
Thanks everybody and best regards.
Factory reset after upgrading to Lollipop, KK leaves rubbish files behind and cause more problems than just lack of storage
Also remember now with LP, it uses ART instead of DALVIK, which means app sizes will be bigger
Well, I've been doing it, same problem after several days.
Also, I actually have 350MB of cache, 800MB free, but of I don't clear the cache I can install nothing, Play returns not enough free space...
Possible it partitioned 4GB for "private mode" I forgot to disable it when I rooted and now everything is showing I only have 12GB and trying to find out how to recover that partition and add it back to the internal storage partition currently. Try turning "private mode" on and see if your storage page shows a chunk of space used for that
After an update my firetv Box ran out of memory. (150mb left nothing installed, clean startup after reset)
I think a installed Version of kodi is the Problem, but i am Not able to reach those data.
Is there any Option to delete those data and Do a fullwipe?
Thanks
