Clearing cache decreases internal storage? - General Questions and Answers

I have 4.2 JB on LG p500. Before rooting I use to clear cache to gain some internal space but now when I'm doing this it decreases the space ,and when I have stopped clearing cache the internal space is increasing by the same amount as the cache.
I'm confused what to make of this. Can anyone throw some light on this? Thanks a lot in advance

Memory is space for running programs. So yes, you will run out of that.
Internal storage would be something different. Though some apps may still get installed to your internal memory regardless of what you tell it.
then what i can do
i lose memory eevery min with doing nothing

[q]sgy a2sd hybrid rom

In my a2sd, dalvik cache is on sd ext. Is that correct?
Yup. Absolutely. This helps save a lot of space .
However do NOT boot without the memory card as the app data is on the sd-ext and you'll get multiple force closes

App Cache Cleaner

Hi guys I just wanted to share with you this useful app, especially when you are running low on space or if you have small internal memory. This comes handy when you are not using app2sd or s2e.
App Cache Cleaner cleans your application caches only, it doesn't touch your system caches. So it's safer to use than other apps to clean caches.

i'm using it too and it works fine. and after a longer time without cleaning up my cache, with this tool/app i get simply a "boost"... Working with my HTC HD2 Android 2.3.7 with only 2 MB cache...

haha NICE! I believe it's a must have app, specially when you're not rooted.
I will have to check this out for my ICS Kindle Fire... Because the Memory on that sucks... lol
Thanks

Which version of Google Play Store are you running? You may need yo update with the newest version .apk file. Also, some applications are local storage only -meaning you are not able to move to your sdcard. Which size/class sdcard are you using, and have you tried clearing data and or wiping cache partition and/or Dalvik cache?

Actually, try clearing the google play cache. Not Dalvic cache.

clearing cache and dalvik is just one of those things that sometime magically fixes things. Like restarting your computer when it acts up. it won't hurt anything at all, you won't notice a speed hit at all. If you wipe dalvik cache the first boot after it will take for ever (a few minutes), but then it will be fine.

[Q] Risk of clearing dalvik cache?

So i lost around 1GB of internal storage, i read a post that suggesti to clear dalvik cache, is there any risk of wiping dalvik cache?? Like bootloop?? And btw im using stock rom and rooted thanks
Edit
Did I say anything?

After you reboot, Dalvik cache and Cache are re-created.

wrong....
you can loosr every cache related data from your apps..... eg:
if you are signed in XDA app and have set some params (like color= dark theme) then those stuff goes into dalvik cache...(art in cm12) those stuff will be loosed
depending on "how" your app does savegames you can also loose savegames (most games will save it in other folders so its not often)

But from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/solved-memory-problems-xperia-l-t2496895 it said that cleaning dalvik cache is the solution for internal memory leak.
Do you have any solution?? as you can see from my screenshot that a system files take around 1GB space and XL only have 4GB
