I have been having a major problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone. The internal memory of the phone should be 11.35GB (even though it should be 16, but I know how these stuff actually work), The internal memory keeps being filled with nothing.
As you can see the total space is 11.35 GB and if you count the applications (7GB), pictures & videos (5MB) and miscellaneous/Download files (15MB), they constitute no more than 8GB, which means that there should be no less than 3 GB left as available in the phone's internal memory, but as you can see I have got 479MB available. How did that happen?
I Already tried Format Data but still same thing happen memory keeps decreasing 50-100MB. I have rebooted the system yesterday when the internal memory was completely full, Clean system cache and dalvik. And I have a feeling that by tomorrow I will get the memory completely full without downloading or adding anything on the phone.
Please help me.

Hi my fellow People,
I don't want to misuse the assist here, but since I rooted my Galaxy Express GT-I8730 using a method given here and I'm not that experienced in modifying my phone, I thought you could surely help me.
Specifications: Model: GT-I8730; CM Version: 12-20150119-UNOFFICIAL-expressltexx; Android Version: 5.0.2; Baseband: I8730XWANE1;Build number: cm_expressltexx-userdebug 5.0.2 LRX22G38201f2d78 test-keys
Problem is: I rooted my Express and flashed cwm and cm12. After having solved several problems, I was able to use my phone properly. Until yesterday. I remembered I had only made a Nandroid backup without apps etc., so I decided to do one. Entered cwm and backuped on sdcard (I think it had about 200 mb free). Backup stopped, so I tried doing the backup into the internal storage (rolling eyes). End of Story was that both backups were unfinished and my storage was full. So I did a factory reset, wiped everything I could find on cwm and booted again. Btw: I formatted my SDcard (data is on my PC). It seems okay now, but I can't install any apps (not even things like clean master or storage truth, everything seems too big)(it says: There's no sufficient storage onto your phone (translated)). It ought to be a full 4 gb full of storage since I factory resetted it, but also, my PC says in Windows Explorer that the internal storage is completely full.
To me, it seems like there is a huge amount of data invisible to me somewhere in my internal storage. But I don't know what that could be.
In hope that someone here may help me
Best regards
Hi there,
The best place to receive an relevant answer from the developer, owners or other experts is to post in the dedicated threads for this device but first register an account on XDA:
[ROM][KITKAT/LOLLIPOP] Unofficial CyanogenMod 11/12 for Galaxy Express 2 or Q&A for [ROM][KITKAT] Unofficial CyanogenMod 11 for Galaxy Express 2
Good luck
Is a Active_L10A1G running android 4.2.2
I get frequent insufficient storage space errors when i attemptto update apps. Also been getting other insufficient errors.
I have been advised to go the rooting method in order to fix the problem.
I downloaded an app called 'Fix me storage' which would run and referred me to your website.
Can you please point me in the right direction as it is driving me insane.
My tablet has more than enough storage to handle updates.

Hi RonBus,
unfortunately there is nothing about your exact device on xda.
To free some space on your internal memory/sd card, you may have to uninstall some apps, move some files to other partitions (or external memory/sd card if available).
You can also use some cleaner apps from Play store (e.g. CleanMaster) to identify some junk files which can be removed.
If you need further help, please register on xda and post in the [HELP THREAD] Ask ANY Question. Noob Friendly. by immortalneo.
Good luck !
Skyrocket, rooted, CM10 (older version). Please see attached screenshot showing available memory. Will not update or load new apps. Please reply.
Vincom! You are the king and savior of all skyrocket users. So many thanks for your monumental efforts on our behalf. I would never have had the courage to root my phone without your concise, thorough and voluminous advice. Thank you.
...The best cellphone is the one you have...
Using your file manager go to( /data/log/) you will need to do this as root. In that folder you will probably find a bunch of dump files which are eating up your space. Delete the dump files. I personally changed the permission to read only and never had that problem again
I too am having this problem. I viewed the location suggested using CoolMuster Android Assist program. I only had the trial version son so I'm having to buy the full version to actually delete these dump files. I had only 4 files, but they are rather large. Being a novice at this Android stuff, I have a dumb question. How do you interpret the storage information in the phone settings? I'm seeing that my phone has almost 2 GB of "device" storage, a little over 11.2 GB of "usb" storage and I have a 16 GB SD card. I have moved all possible apps, pictures, videos, etc. to the SD card and phone shows there is almost 10 GB of free usb space. Therefore, I don't understand how I can keep getting these insufficient memory messages when I try to download new apps or even when I try to update existing apps.
use a android 6.x.x rom,
Hello
I created this thread to ask you about a problem i've got with the free space of my new Xiaomi mi4. I bought the 16gb version of it, but when i go to "settings" it says that there is only 1.06 GB full memory and about 500 MB left. That's pretty odd since it shows that the internal memory of the device is 16.00 GB at ''About phone''.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-3/general/howto-resize-extend-partition-capacity-t3011918
I followed the steps which are written on the link above, but still nothing. I managed to install another Rom and remove the previous one but the same thing happens and as it seems, the old Rom is still installed since i can still see the old files when i connect my device to my PC. Is there something else i can try ?
Thanks in advance !
Case solved !
After doing so many tries and following every guide to make this work, i have finally found a solution ! I did a simple Data Wipe by using TWRP and now there are 12gb of free space in my device.
Any of you still has the same problem like mine ?
You should follow the guide which is written at the thread i mentioned above and then wipe the Data and Internal storage of the MI4. Good luck
Closing this thread as you've found a solution.
Kudos and if you have further questions for your device(Xiaomi MI4), you can post in the help section linked below

Hi
I have an unrooted Samsung Galaxy S2 phone which keeps having a message pop up saying Storage Space Running Out. I have checked the apps I have on the internal Device Memory and as you can see in the screenshots attached below I haven't got many apps installed on the phone now (as I progressively had to delete more and more of them off here due to this problem) so it's not an app problem (for the amount of apps I have installed I should at minimum have 1 Gb and more likely 1.5 Gb of space). I believe due to what I have researched that it is a problem with log files taking up room but to fix it I tried calling the code #9900# and it came up with the message on my phone: Connection problem or invalid MMI code. I don't know where to go from here to free up more space in the device storage part of my phone. (note I have space on the usb/sd section and on my external sd card so that's not a problem only the device storage section)

It's probably due to apps being updated, or maybe you've got app data hanging around from apps you've uninstalled, look in your Android folder.
Also, if your S2 is running 4.1.2 like most other S2's then it's also because you have a limited data partition, you can re-PIT or repartition your internal storage to give more space to data and/or system partition.

Hi thanks for the reply Droidriven. Yes I do believe it could be the app data from previously installed apps but like the log data files I don't know if I can or how to access it without rooting my phone. I know how to delete the data and cache of apps I still have on there (and tried that already) but if there is any remaining from previous apps I'm not sure how to go about that. Also, yes you are right in that my S2 is running 4.1.2 and that it has a limited partition (2GB Device Memory vs 11.50GB USB/internal SD storage). How do you " re-PIT or repartition your internal storage to give more space" and is there any problems that can come from doing this? Could the log files be taking up too much space?

This thread liked below is about the best place for help with S2.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/qa-friendly-qa-thread-t1648351
As for the re-PIT, try starting in the thread linked below, the developer there has created a way to repartition the i9100, he has adapted it to work on other models of i9100 and other models of S2, he may have adapted it or can adapt it for your i9100t.
