Weird storage info... - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everybody i have a weird issue with my storage info...
Since i uninstalled GTA san andreas, the 3gb of data stayed on my phone but I can't locate it...
Is there any way to delete this invisible data from my phone without doing a factory reset ???
You can see on the attach that data is weird (based on what is written, i should have a lot more free space than that...)

use this app to find it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage&hl=en

Gta is in /sdcard/Android/obb
If its not there, the space isn't taken up by the game
Maybe some tips here

Well thank you everybody but i still can't find those files... However i am quite sure it is due to GTA as it happened righr after i uninstalled it...
Look at the screens... It shows at the bottom that i use 10gb but you can see that my folders don't make 10gb...

In my thread, I recommend "disk usage". Use it on sdcard and storage.
You shouldnt use es and not on emulated at all. Gives false results as you're not in a real location

when you first boot up the device, its starts remembering your data. the more you use it, the more data will get stored away.

Well ok i understand this.
Just know that this morning i still had the game installed, and when i uninstalled it, its data just stayed, i had exactly the same amount of free data than with the game installed. I just cannot locate these files anymore this is the main problem...

Nope. The files are on sdcard and are gone. "System data" is /data not /sdcard.
The gta files are as follows
/sdcard/Android/obb - 2.36 GB
/data/app-asec - 20.33 MB
/data/data - 10 MB
Nothing else. So anything you think is in "system data" that is "too big", is not related to gta.
This is all explained in my thread. /data is where apps apk and app / system data is stored. Big games also store files on /sdcard like gta

Anyone know what this is?

I get this file in my download folder all the time. It's minidump.dmp. Does anyone else have this or know where it's coming from?

It's a file used for core dumps when there's a need for a crash report.
So it's common then?

Is It from an app or the operating system?

I've narrowed it down to a couple of possibilities. It can't be ROM related because I'm using a Samsung S3. Please let me know if you are using any of the following.
Lucky Patcher
xButtons
Wanam Xposed
App Settings
The irritating thing is that the file is empty and looks like it is unneeded.

rootSu, good to see you over here! I don't think it's App Settings but I have a hunch it's coming from an Xposed app. What do you think? Would a log catch this?

Rw block?

Re,
Ok, last update is 2010 for the free version and 2011 for the paid version, so... maybe only an incompatibility since you have the issue also on your One after a new Android version...
There is a comment on my Play Store, with Android 4.4.2 the app doesn't work...
Try to mail the dev?
Gotcha. And yes i can mount with root explorer. Guess maybe its just the app,thanks everybody

1. Wrong section
2. The dev stopped working on it
sorry for mistake . I thought it' s the right section as Touch control is an application.

You are right, it's a app but , Quest answer section would be a better place but lethargy gave you the answer, touch control app is no longer under developing, you can use a kernel with S2w support.

You could try Bricked kernel (AOSP & stock roms, I believe) or Chaos (CM11), both work well in my opinion.

You have 12.6 gigs of usable space. If you add up all your data the difference is how much space you have left.

I think what he's trying to tell is:
Total Space: 12.55 (Used + available)
Used Space: (Apps+Pictures+Audio+Downloads+Cached+Misc) = Roughly around 5.194 GB
Available space: 2.83 GB
So Total Space shown there = 5.194+2.83 = 8.024 GB... Again this is a rough estimate as 1gb is termed as 1024 mb.
But actually it should total up to 12.55GB. So where's the 4.5GB gone?
Sigh. Fed up of saying this to be honest. Click the link in my signature and read my info thread about nexus 5 storage.. Section 5.4
