Hi,
I recently downloaded an update for an app which was 800MB (Asphalt 8). I had just over a 3GB remaining but the install failed saying too little storage. Now I only have 1GB free storage and it is being taken up by the "system" section in the storage settings. Does anyone have any idea how to clear this down? I seem to have lost a GB worth of storage
Cant you just "clear your cache" ?
i had a couple of hunderd MB there once too

Hello Everybody
So now....
Who in here's CURRENT PHONE has the lowest internal storage ever?
Lets start, My internal storage is 190MB
OptimusLove, I love how you always have worst phone contests.
Mytouch Q is screwed up so I've rolled back to my flipside which has 12mb of internal storage after I update all system apps. About 70 mb if I uninstall updates and clear cache. It actually has 512 mb but its partitioned so stupidly (thanks MOTO). On CM 7 it actually ends up with 110 mb and I can use link2sd, but you get the idea...
As soon as I fix my mytouch q ill be up at about 1GB of storage, total 2GB but partitioned so user data is approx. 1GB. Exact is 950mb
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
in vodafone ideos (u8150) the internal memory is 256mb but the free (for porting of cm10) with facebook app and whatsapp is 56mb
with link2sd it's possibile move the app dawlink on the sd but not of the system app. with this procedure the free memory is 60mb

what device do you have? i would try flashing stock and re-installing miui.
I am using a G3 like ROM for my D838.
I do not know why, it always prompt me insufficient storage when I try to install or update my Google Apps/whatsapp/wechat etc.
Indeed, I have 32GB internal memory, huge storage. still got 20GB free space.
What can I do ?
I'm using the Nobis NB09 tablet with Android 4.1.1. When attempting to download an app from the Google Play Store, I get Insufficient Storage error, despite 5.08 GB of available space and the app that I want to download is only 9.83 MB, so there is more than enough space to install it.
Available space reported in Storage:
Internal Storage
Available66.24 MB
Internal Storage
Available5.01 GB
Why is all this available space being ignored?
Why are there 2 sections for Internal Storage shown in Storage?

Thers this regular storage space and another space where you are supposed to install apps and you've seem to have hit the limit there . also an app that's only 10 MB mayoccupy much more after installation .(it need to store cache and all)
So you need to free space in the the first storage that has only 66 MB available .either delete some unwanted apps or move some apps to SD card or you can increase the limit for app installed space using Root access required apps.

After uninstalling updates for unneeded apps, storage is reporting 319 MB of free space, so much space was liberated.
The initial download size was 9.83 MB compared to 23.97 MB after installation. So it takes up 2.4x more space after installation.
Is there a way to resize the partitions as in changing the ratio of apps to regular storage?

You can make use of apps like link2sd but it requires root
Hello,
I have a GoClever Aries 785 (M7841) Tab, and supposedly it is an 8 GB tab, since I can ot post any images because I am a new user this will be harder, I will try to transcript from the screenshots I have taken, here we go:
1. You see this when you press the "Storage" tab in settings:
Storage
Rom information
Internal Rom 8192 MB
System 7528 MB
User Available 664 MB
Okay so, What does all this mean? Am I missing something obvious here? Internal Rom as I understand is the total memory the device has? And System is how much is currently being used as a total? User available is self explanatory. I am not new to flashing Android Roms and such, but this is confusing me for some reason. Moving on to the next image and closer to the main question
2 In the same "Storage" tab I see a section called:
Flash storage
Total space: 5.06 GB
Available: 664 MB
(And on it goes with how much storage the apps, pics and so on occupy)
As I understand, this Flash Storage is an emulated internal SD card or something
3. Another section is:
Internal storage
Total space: 0.98GB
Available: 287MB
Apps (SYSTEM APPS IN FACT) and cached data takes about 500MB
So that adds up to what? 6 GBs? As I understand 3 GB is hidden and used by the Android system?
The point of all this is this leaves me with like a half a GB to download apps and install them because they all go to internal storage and not flash storage or SD card. WTF? I am constantly having issues of low storage and when I reach a certain limit Google Play does not even let download apps. I can have the Flash storage as empty as I want and an SD card as large as I want but because the internal storage has only 300 MB available I am not able to download apps. I can download apps if there is free internal storage and move them to flash storage from the app manager, but the system still leaves some data in the Internal storage and I do not think I can move them to an SD card, so since when I move an app to the Flash storage and it leaves some data in Internal, I come to a point when it is full again and there is nothing I can do about it. I cant select the default write disk to be Flash stage or SD, but I think it is only for the camera, voice recorder and etc. How do I work around this? Is there a way to reparation the storage so there would be more space of Internal storage? Or maybe some thing else I could do? I can not even have apps like Facebook or the Google Docs that I need, I have to constancy clean cache so I cant at least get like 20 MB more.
Device is rooted, I can access device internal storage with ES file explorer.
If you have gotten this far, I thank you for reading my novel, I have tried to explain everything as clear as I can and to include as much info as I can, some of it might have been useless. Sorry for a long post.
No one has the answer?
Hi !
If the device has been rooted then some improper storage readings may occur
Install DiskInfo from playstore for a better image of your storage
You can use but be careful with SdMaid from playstore as well
Basically , a 8GB Rom is the total storage your device has been built with which actually means 7629.39 mb in real
From this amount , 3 gb may be the system which you can`t fill it up with user`s apps or personal files , the rest of it is the user`s space storage from which 500 mb is the cache
In the end , without any personal files or user`s apps , the amount of available storage may be 4291.53 mb so , try to remove all the personal (media) files away (audio , video, downloads ...) and check how much free space you`ll get
Your system may be capable of moving user`s app to flash storage but this is limited to certain folders like data folder of the application , the obb won`t move out
A good application is Apps2Sd from playstore but again , be very careful and properly read the xda`s thread before doing anything
Good luck !
