Go to settings then applications then click menu then select size and click on the apps n press clear cache ;]

theres an app on the market called cache cleaner cleans all apps cache and its free but you need root. i dont believe theres any app on the market right now that doesnt require root so either root your phone or manually clean the cache for each individual app one by one.

CacheMate for Root users.

Cache mate is only for people who have root and it doesn't clear your cache it just stores it to the sd card so those without root will have to clear them on an individual basis.

Is it just me or what?

Memory has dropped to 34mb and I have not added any new apps. But google maps has updated again and that's when I noticed a major drop in system memory. Seems like google is trying to hog the whole phone. Anyone else notice this?

Have you cleared out all your caches?

Yes. It is really starting to p me off! There is no room for apps. I guess I'm gonna have to start learning how to pull all the crap off. I can reload the rom if I pull something that messes up right?

do you have a **** ton of text messages?
I had 800+ and once I deleted them I got 14MB of internal storage space back
i have the same issue
mine shows twice and then dissappears
can someone elaborate on the manual method
?
Is the update worth losing the memory for?
FYI, root explorer won't work. You can only remove them via adb while mounted in recovery.
How many apps do you have installed? I have 38 apps installed, easily over 1000 texts, and I've never cleared my cache and I'm still at 68mb internally free.
If you search the General MTS forum, there's a good thread in there on what's safe to remove.
Like 5 apps and not much for txt msgs. It's like something just gradually eats the memory away.

How can I find out what app is

How can I find out what app is blocking data connection,
I did a wipe an install an had mobile data.
I then restored all apps n data an mobile data stopped again.
Apart from wiping an installing one app n data at a time is there any way of running tests or checks to see what's blocking it?

How to get more storage? After moving apps

I've moved all the apps I could to my sd and still low on storage. Is there a way to delete other stuff on my phones storage?
Or move games that say they can't be moved to sd? Thanks

Do you have any apps that you no longer use? Have you gotten rid of the bloatware and unused Widgets? With a system level file manager like Root Explorer or via adb, maneuver to the /system/app folder and delete what you don't want, but before you do, know what you're deleting or you can cause problems. As a matter of fact, before doing anything, go into recovery and make a nandroid backup of your current setup so in case you mesa something up, you can return to the way it was. Finally, you might want to invest in a larger capacity card.

You can move dalvik to the cache partition. Also, what ROM are you using, it's possible on certain setups to be falsely reporting low storage.
Myns rom and how do i move the cache? Thanks

I haven't tried this, but, if you're using RLS5, there's a setting in the Spare Parts app that came preinstalled where you should be able to easily move the dalvik to the SD cards. Initiate the Spare Parts app, scroll down and select "Data Storage Option" and then scroll down and select "Dalvik-cache on SD Card. Again, I have not tried it.

If you have (or get) a2sd, you can do it from the terminal app.

Market problem

I have a problem with the market .
When i go to my installed apps, on the bottom of that list i can still see apps that I had on my phone, but they where uninstalled, so they shouldn't be there anymore.
These apps says free, so they are not installed anymore, but they still are in my list.
But I want them out of my list of installed apps, so can someone please help?

I've seen this in the past but it didn't stay there for long. Reboot?
They will disappear after some time.
Clear your market cache, that should help.
All of it didn't help, do you have the same problems?

clear market data/cache and force stop via manage applications...this may help!
alternately if you have backup options selected, uncheck it and reboot.
Do you have Titanium Backup? There is a "Market Doctor" tool within that, it's worth a shot.
I have a prob. too with the market.
If i write a comment for an app the comment didnt it. And i cant rate the app i dont know what the prob. is :'(
Like everyone above already said:
Go to application management and kill the market, then clear cache and data.
If that doesn't help there's nothing else you can really do except more annoying options like full wipe.

Does uninstalling an App clears the App cache and App data?

I am just not sure should I clear the app data before uninstalling an app or not.
Thans!

I don't think so..
It still leaves all the folders where is files from the app, maybe from /sdcard/dtata/ folder is the app files deleted then..
try to find the answer from google.
Usually it does. Try it for yourself. Install Angry Birds, play a few levels and deinstall. You will lose all your progress.
The problem are those programs, that download additional data after installing from the market. Sometimes that doesn't get cleared. Also some folders don't get deleted when deinstalled.
It's just dirty programming, as actually it should all get removed when deinstalling. If you want to keep your app or gaming data, use titanium and keep a backup, just to be on the safe side.

Does an application that detects which folders are "orphans" as in no longer attached to any app exists?

App data and cache is deleted. But any folders/files the app makes in your storage directory will not be removed.

Right, and the data in your storage directory will not be deleted when you delete the app data manually. So if you want to get everything, just delete the app without deleting app data, but then you will need to find and delete manually anything in your storage dir.
