Hello. I have honor 4c. When I had android 5 (rooted) there wasnt any problem. After updating to marshmallow and rerooting I have problem with storage. When I wipe dalvik cache and reboot phone, recreated dalvik cache have 800MB. After few days I have internal storage totally full(100%). I dont understand. Everything is OK, dalvik cache takes the same storage but during one night I have full storage.... When I wake up there is notification that the storage is full. I dont understand why the size of dalvik cache is changing. Can anyone help me? I dont want to delete that regularly as it takes more time to load all apps.

quick question, im new to rooting the transforner and i just want to know, when i wipe to install prime will it erase my music that is on the internal storage? If so, is there a different way to wipe to keep certain files? Cause i also have my titanium backup files on internal as well, thanks in advance.
First of all, your title made me laugh for a good 1 minute. Somehow, "question about wiping" just doesn't sound very technical and sound more like it has something to do with our bodily functions.
No, "wiping" cache and data will not touch your files. Android is different than windows. Windows OS has 1 big partition where everything is in there. Android has 12 partitions, each one has it's own purpose. When you wipe the data partition, what you're really wiping is app data partition. There is also a user data partition where all your files are kept. Unless you do a format of your sdcard in the advance menu, all your user files are safe.
So, before you install a custom rom, make sure you wipe cache and data/factory reset. Also wipe dalvik cache. Trust me, all your porn files will still be there waiting for you.
Sorry, I have a weird sense of humor.
Lol, thanks buddy. Ive never had an android device with an internal sdcard so i was a little concerned. Thanks again.

I was wondering, is a data/factory wipe always necessary? When I flashed Revolver 3.9.3 for the 1ste time from stock rom, I did a data/factory wipe, cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe in CWM. When updating this Revolver rom to 3.9.5 using zip-file, I only wipe cache and dalvik cache. On my Moto I wipe cache and dalvik cache before and after the zip update when updating a custom rom, but I'm not sure if the latter is necessary. I guess a data/factory wipe is only necessary when flashing a new base rom?
wiping is usually recommended as sometimes if you install with out wiping it will cause weird problems :/

what is dalvic wipe? where to wipe battery status ????
There is no noticeable memory degredation, even if you flash over 9000 times.
You don't need to wipe the battery stats.
The dalvik-cache are cache files that are needed to run apps, and it gets recreated on boot if you wipe it (so the purpose of wiping it, is to get a freshly generated dalvik cache).

Hello.
I just updated to Lollipop and have noticed something strange with my storage. I have a 32GB Nexus 5, but the storage says I have on 12.55GB of total space.
Since I have wiped the phone to flash it, I have no pictures or other media on the phone. Installed apps are taking up 2.68GB of space. Does that mean Lollipop takes up nearly 20GB on the phone?
Any help with this would be grateful.
Thanks
Wipe cache and factory reset / wipe data and storage. We answer this question twice a day.
OK. Thanks for your reply.
How do I wipe cache and factory reset / wipe data and storage?
Will I have to go into fastboot to do this?
Recovery
Thanks for your help. That worked.
Clearing cache from storage settings doesn't work actually. Every time i clear the cache from there it shows that i got rid of it but in the background it increases the size of the "other" folder present inside the storage option under settings. it feels like the cache is getting transferred to that folder and not wiping off.
I also tried clearing cache from recovery after clearing it first from settings but the "other" folder size remained intact. I think clearing cache doesn't work. Also the size of the "other" keeps on increasing everytime i do this. It's kinda loophole.
Has anyone observed it?
Does anyone have a pixel phone that they can try this on with the a b partitioning? I'm curious to know if this happens across the board or if it is just a OnePlus 6
Yea I noticed that too, clearing the cache in recovery (TWRP in my case) doesn't clear the cache shown in storage, but it doesn't go to the other folder either.
Literally nothing happens.
Not a bug, a feature. The cache doesn't exist as a partition on this phone. Clearing it in recovery does nothing.

Yes I know there is no cache partition on this phone. This happens when you clear all app cache and it happens when you clear the cache in the recovery both
you do it in stock recovery
cant do it in twrp or OS
what i do is when installing full rom zip update, ill reboot recovery clear cache then reboot fastboot install twrp and flash magisk and kernel
