Is there any way to increase the storage limit of 500mb for /system? Without deleting anything from there?

You can also save system space by converting system apps(system/app) to user apps (data/app).This can be done very easily by titanium backup.long press on the icon of the system app and select convert to user app.:thumbup:

if I move it, will it be stored in internal memory? And opening the app shouldn't create any lag or fcs rite?

Most apps won't be a problem but some apps work only as system app so you'll have to try for each app.

Guys, what is this lazylist folder on sd card? Can it be deleted?
Sent from my LG Optimus One P500 using Tapatalk
Its just cache of icons even if u delete it it will come back..
But I hate the way android impliments apps folder creation directly too the root of sdcard. I think there should b some hack so that apps folders (folders created by apps for cache and stuff) are in one sub folder.. like a symbolic link.
My sdcard is cluttered like hell with all the folders.

Thanks for the info, dude. And, you are really right about folders issue. Very nagging. Even more nagging is the fact, these folders do not go away even with uninstal of app. Have to delete them individually.

Having lots of folders will not have any impact on the read speed of the sd card but if you have a number of files one the root of the sd card then the read speed of the sd card will be greatly reduced.

(Just realized this thread is several years old)
I think its safe to say that any of the files/folders that wern't there prior to intallation of the app would be safe to delete. Often times after uninstalling an app some files and folders are still there. Usually they are files and folders that werent originally installed with the application such as saved preferences, data, settings, ect. Those files are safe to delete but I think the best rule of thumb is when in doubt, dont delete. You can usually use google to find out which files and folders are associated with which app and which files and folder are important or essential.
So I'm trying to free up some space because i only have an 8gb card, and i want to download the new Batman game, which takes up a lot of space. So my question is, are the lost.dir files needed? Because they take up a lot of space, but i don't know what to delete

You can delete them but they will keep coming back
If your lost.dir is taking up any space (past the directory itself), you have had filesystem corruption problems on that volume. That directory is used when the OS can't repair the filesystem and puts "orphaned" directories and files in there.

I was trying to dual boot with bootmenu and when i install a ROM, i tried to install all of my apps with titanium backup and it said i did not have enough space. So i was wondering if dual booting takes up a lot of free space?
Okay, so yes and no is the answer. When you use boot menu and two ROMS, one ROM is on the normal phone memory and the other gets put in the place of the webtop partition. Which is why you make a backup of the webtop when you do so. So yes, the ROM running in the place of webtop is VERY limited on space as I believe the webtop partition is BARELY over a gig. However, your normal ROM hasn't changed as far as space goes.

Hi my tablet is experiencing storage issues although I don't have much apps installed... I have moved all the photos, videos, music on my external sd card, removed many games, cleared all the cache and now there is less than 500mb space available which is not allowing me to install new apps or update the existing ones also, my device lags a lot.
Pls suggest me a way to free space I don't know where all my space has vanished, I will also like to inform that I'm running on official 4.1.2 release and the device is not rooted!
Thanks

Yes i had installed app2sd but removed it immediately when I found its no use on my tab...I havent installed any virtual ram apps.
What's that circle?
If all your stuff is on the external SD already, try formatting the internal.

That circle is chat head of one of my fb friend. I have factory reset my tab and now its all fine, this is the second time I had to loose all my apps and data and its headache to download alk over when u dont have wifi.... what is the problem anyway why the memeory gets filled so much when I know there isnt much user data. One of my friend said its a jelly bean memory leak issue, is it possible?
Sent from my GT-P3100 using xda app-developers app

Hey!
I noticed I have almost 2gb of miscellaneous files all the time. What are these files and can I delete them?
Sent from my GT-I9105P using xda app-developers app
if u upgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 recently without wipe data afterwards, this will happen. if that's not the case,just ignore me.
That's shouldn't be the case
Miscellaneous here refers to the files other than system memory and cached data. Which means the things you have on your internal sd card

if my case,i boot in recovery mode and do wipe data/factory reset,but that way,all your apps are gone too. so you should investigate better,like brian said,try search you internal via pc see got any abnormal file.
I did a little investigation and found out that there was still Asphalt 7 files after uninstall. Now I have a bit over 2gb free space and 0,8gb of miscellaneous files. I don't know what are those files, maybe some app data + play music + YouTube player cache.
