Why free internal storage space growing automatically? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hi,
I noticed several times that if I am running out of free internal storage space (free space drops below 450 MB) than the system automatically frees up space so I have about 700 MB.
Strange.
Do you know how can this happen? I am a little scared about my stuff getting deleted.
Thank you in advance

It's most likely clearing cached files. I have not heard of anyone losing data from this.

[Q] Internal storage left is 55mb just after 10 apps,why?

After falshing rom i installed 10 apps amounting to 78mb but the free is just around 55+mb.
Deleted cache & history(10mb) also.When total alloted is 200mb then where is the rest gone?Before flashing on stock i used to have much more apps,i still haven't installed facebook,wechat,couple and maps which i had earlier.And even the ram always hovers around 50mb and lags a little,not very much though.
I have app which shows both internal and system storage but i got concerned when i saw system storage had only 48kb free.So i removed two apps and now it is 5mb free.Yes there are App2Sd or Link2Sd
but why my internal storage is occupied is what i want to know?
Thanks

insufficent storage with 250mb free ??

yo people whats with this? How come This happens? I never really faced a problem like this.Problem is i kinda "runn out" on what to delete.
Also this very stupid Emulated keeps getting all the memory in instead of my 17gb free memory SD card. Any suggestions?
If you want move some app data (like obb) on sd use Foldermount. I suppose minimum 250 mb is required to run system properly

Shrinking Internal Storage

Ive recently brought a moto g 2015 less than a week ago and have installed some apps, when i originally did this there was over 1.0gb of free internal space left. Over the week the space has shrunk to 500mb and is now notifiitying me that the internal storage is low (i cleared the cache out 3 hours ago and it was 540mb free now its 500mb so that 40mb in a couple of hours?!).
Ive cleared the cache, ive not installed any extra apps and there hasnt been any significant app upgrades that would use this space, also deleted all content from whatsapp etc and looked in the misc part of the storage and theres nothing using the space.
Has anyone else come across this or have any idea whats using the space up?
Cheers

Alot of apps/games use alot of data storage so that might be your issue and if your storing stuff from downloading like music and photos etc that will take up space as well
Hi thanks for the reply! I've got all my music and pictures stored on an sdcard and haven't downloaded any on this phone or taken any pictures. I'm just not sure what as suddenly used up all this storage that I can't now use in the space of a couple of hours without me doing anything on the phone or any apps updating
I had that to on a old phone, i think its your google play services.
my tip is to look in your apps and see what apps use to much space, than try to delete it
Probably other apps accumulating stored data, as was mentioned above. Chrome will grow over time, Google drive, Facebook etc.

You can move apps to the SD also. OP doesn't say they did that, but that can be done. Just go to settings, Apps, and then "ON SD CARD" tab. Any apps that can be moved will show there. Note that not 100% of the apps info can be moved, but most of it can. for example if you have an app that is 100MB, and move it, you will still have about 20MB on internal. Still better than the full 100MB.
Thanks for all the suggestions, ive tried them all and got a lot of free space back. Also found that google drive had 500mb of data which ive deleted!

System partition storage missing?

Hi!
I have a problem with my system partition, removed some apps to free up space and it worked flawlessly. But yesterday I removed some more but storage didn't increase, it says 800 kb free space after removing about 35 MB. Where did the free space go, and is it possible to retrieve it?
Thanks in advance!
