its the cache that takes most of the storage so instead of using a file explorer app you sould download any cache cleaner or if you are rooted then you may try LINK2SD and with link2sd you can even clean dalvik cache and the sdcard partitions
PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON IF I HELPED

I want to use link2sd. Does it really make a performance difference? I'm also a little bit nervous about messing up my SD card.

Via my browser due to "not enough storage space". I have a 16gb sdcard though (unrelated??) my system folder shows only 15mb remaining in root explorer.. can anyone help?

Probably out of internal memory.
Step 1: Root Device
Step 2. Download Fota fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065018
Step 3 Run
Step 4 Reboot.
Step 5 All good
I'm rooted.. cwm bali 1.4 fota fix...
My question is what does internal memory have to do with browser downloads?? Shouldn't they default to my SD?

Try downloading from email, see if you get same error.

The Fota app works great for this. Just did it and got over 250mb free on my device. Will check on that storage checking now.

Freeing up space on sd card

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
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
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.

[HELP] NFS Most Wanted storage install problem

Whenever I first launch up the application to install I get a message saying I need 2055mb to install and I have 0.
I have a total of around 1.7gb available on my internal storage, but then I also have 7gb available on my external_SD, anyway I can trick/point it to install the data into the external SD?

Maybe you need to delete the file that is in the android.secure!

Storage issue on my tab 2

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

Miscellaneous files storage usage

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

no,i experienced it before ,can refer to corduroy84 and my post past few month ago

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.
