Noticed Xposed was hogging 4 GB of space. Found out its my log files. I clear them but they come back, needlessly taking up a gang of space
I don't understand the errors... All I see is that its a reoccurring error. Something to do with my clock? Other than that, I dont know. Would someone know how to resolve or possibly have it stop generating huge log files?
Any help would be appreciated!

What are some common methods to reduce the memory footprint left by apps and processes on android..... i remember seeing some auto optimizer stuff on the forums at some point found it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560271
just wanna shrink down my /data/app_s stuff a few megs in size....
i feel so n00bish asking this.. yes i searched i got a couple random threads no solid answers
are there any other methods than AUTO-optimize?
nevermind i found the auto optimize thing..... still wondering if there are any other methods or common practices
Be careful on what you shrink. .9.png don't like shrink at all.
Also, Stay away from Frameworks and com.htc.frameworks with the optimizer unless you do it manually.
Will cause a Non-booting rom.

thanks eguene.. i gathered as much about framework after the tattoo stuff and some other hero experiences ive had with framework mods..
i also remember some stuff on twitter about the .9.png files not shrinking i think that this is the only hope i have of shrinking my data/app_s enough to fit on /system/app
Hey guys,
Has anyone managed to free up more space on the HDD of Surface yet? Are there any unneeded programs, old updates, etc that we can delete to get a bit more room on the HDD? I read a tweet the other day and someone had managed to free up quite a bit of space without removing any functionality, I was out and about at the time and forgot to favorite the tweet so I can't find out anymore information.
Ok, so there has been a LOT of people complaining that they are having issues updating certain apps. This seem to be happening mostly on Android 4.3 or 4.4. I too started having this issue so did a search for a fix, I found probably hundreds of threads across all the XDA forums without really finding any solutions. One of them points to a trick with a function of Lucky Patcher. That used to work but it seems the latest updates removed that feature. In most cases, clearing the data or removing updates does not seem to fix this issue either. Most threads will eventually end up saying to do a factory reset, not so. So I figured out why that is happening and thought that I would post it here for everyone to finally fix that annoying problem.
It seems like this is happening because Android is creating two data folders for that app and then when you try to update it, it tries to create another folder and the system wont let it. Therefor it is giving an out of space error. Not really an expert or proven reason but that is what it seems like to me, maybe somebody else can clarify, here is what will fix the error though.
Use a file explorer (I use Solid Explorer) and navigate to the root folder
Do a search for a small portion of the app name that you cant update. You will see several folders come up. They are most likely in /data/app-lib and are called appname-1 and appname-2. Some apps may have it by the developers name instead so make sure that it is the app that you are having issues with first.(example - tunein radios folder is called radiotime)
Delete both folders (notice - it would probably also delete the apps data too)
Go back to the play store and magically update!
Let me know if anyone else finds this useful as I have not seen this mentioned anywhere.
ok, I referred here by a friend after explaining what is going on.... my wife has a sharp FX plus... and it has been a problem since day one with the memory... I read the Q & A sticky, but don't know what I need to do in order to fix the problem so once I figure that out I should be ok.
the sharp says storage device is full on phone, if she gets two text messages it is full, she repeatedly daily has to uninstall games and erase all messages the phone does not give the option to move unused apps to the sd card or to erase unused apps, not to mention if she has mms on she can't receive texts and if she has text on she can't download mms.... like I said I'm new to all this... does anyone know how to fix this she loves the phone and the slide out keyboard and hates how big new phones are so I'm here to see if I can find a fix.... please help so I can put a smile on the wifes face!!!!
wow, not even a shot in the dark.... thats crazy.... I know there has got to be something....there is stuff all over the web so I guess I'm off to search.... I've softmodded alot of console so I should be able to get it down pretty quick, just need a direction to go.....
Need more info

What do you mean here... It sounds like your saying you have to "use" the app first in order for it to be moved or erased? Which im sure is not the case.
Respond with details of what ROM/ android version, build, memory option, etc. These are things needed to know before any help can be given because suggestions vary especially if you are rooted.
... But try this first, go to settings --> Storeage --> Internal memory and respond with either a screen shot or details if privacy is an issue. I would figure you will find the 'heavy' items there to delete... usually multimedia and not apps are the culprit.
I have previously posted this question in the Samsung S7 Edge section here http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/gc-cc-logs-mozilla-consuming-huge-space-t3397783 but didn't get any response. It is possible that the topic didn't get any attention as it is in the wrong section and I also feared that my problem could be due to malware and some other security bugs.
My problem started when I was suddenly told that my S7 is running out space without any new huge apps being installed. I tracked down the sudden lose of storage space to a folder named "memory-reports" inside the default Download folder. The folder content comprise multiple logfiles with each file sizes averaging 30mbs, and the number of files gradually increase and eventually hogging over 3gigs of storage space. I deleted the entire folder with the logfiles but the folder appeared again with similar logfiles.
after Googling around, I found the description of the logfiles here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/...GC_and_CC_logs. it seem to relate to Mozilla Firefox and I doubt this problem is specific to Samsung S7 Edge although this is the phone I am using now and the problem only occurred to me for the first time recently. couldn't find any mention of similar issue anywhere else via Google, but maybe some of you guys are better at digging them up. Seeking some comments, suggestions as to what cause, possible solutions...
NOTE: My phone is NOT rooted. the logfiles are still being generated periodically and have to be deleted to recover the space. deleting them don;t seem to affect the operation of any apps and especially FIREFOX, which is the only connection I can find with mention of those logfiles name with MOZILLA. The problem seem unique to me at the moment as I still couldn't find any reference on Google to them. Any head-up suggestion on possible reason and ways to track down exactly which apps, background process are generating the log files are certainly welcomed.
I am experiencing the same issue on my Motorola Nexus 6.
Thanks for this. I was facing the same problem. I just deleted the files. It didn't seem to hurt firefox. ]
