I goto Settings>Phone Storage SD Storage..
I download install via market...
i uninstall if i don't like it and then i recheck settings
it shows that it's still taking up space even though its gone..
REBOOT still the same any ideas
You need to check your internal memory for space either in use or free. SD card storage is not where you wanna look.
Try an app called mini info

another good app for that is quick system info
what rom are you using?

Hi guys I've been messing around with my phone all day. I have been restoring my apps back onto my phone and all that good stuff. I finally fixed my phone and when I was restoring my phone it tells me that my internal space is getting full. How is that possible if I only have 2 apps from the market installed? Any ideas?
thanks!
try clearing cache of your apps. If you have root access, download cachemate and use that. you can also move apps to your SD card to free internal space.
hope this helps
edit: you can also try wiping your phone back to stock if you continue with these issues
Weird I uninstaled Google maps update and and I now have 45MB of internal storage. lol??
Im restoring my apps then going to move them to my SD. Whats a good program to move them?

If you are using a custom ROM and it supports it then apps2sd because you can actually go beyond the 512 MB limit, you can make it as large as your entire SD card if you like... of course it has a trade off: the card must be repartitioned before you can use apps2sd meaning that you need to copy your card over a computer, partition and then copy back your stuff.
I use and would recommend that you use froyo to move apps to SD card. You can also move apps from the SD card back to your internal memory.
You can move most apps to SD Card; but some apps you do not have the option to move to SD card, and must remain on internal phone storage.
Follow these simple steps to move / to know whether the app can be moved or not.
1. Open Settings -> Applications ->Manage Applications and tap on the app you want to move.
2. Tap on the box “Move to SD card”.
3. Now tap on “On SD Card” to know whether your app has been moved or not.
You can also move back the app to phone memory by tapping on application and then selecting “Move to Phone” option.

The thing is..I only have 2 apps installed from the market and it's saying my internal memory is full. That just doesn't make sense.
Sprints stock ROM will give you a low storage warning when you have less than 45MB free space which I think is a little high. Thank god for apps2sd.
do you use the stock HTC mail app? if you do, try this: when you delete mail in the stock HTC mail app, it doesn't delete it, but just moves it to the 'Trash' folder? I've just cleared 6Mb that accumulated of the last month or so myself...
if all else fails, you might have to factory reset the evo.
thanks for all the help. so i needed up booting in recovery and clearing everything now it went to like 300mb and im restoring my apps. do you think i should put them on my SD card?
I would put what you can on your sd card...you can always move them back to the phone if needed

curious to know what caused that low memory problem in the first place? that's just weird.
i am not sure what causes the memory leak; but others i know with evos have had the same issue and a factory reset has solved the issue every time. good luck!
Hi guys,
I have the Cachemate app and after clearing the cache, it showed my used internal memory at 115mb. I did not install any new apps, but I did app updates from the Market and now it shows my used internal at 123mb. I have also cleared the web browsing history and all text messaging threads I had going. This would also happen on my Nexus One and Hero, so I know it's not just an E4GT issue. After about 3 months of just updating apps (and not installing any new ones) my internal memory would just keep going down and down. I would go into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications and click on every app one by one and clear cache that way, but I could never get my internal memory to back to where it was when I first flashed a ROM and installed my apps initially. On my Hero, it got to the point where i couldn't update my apps anymore because it said i had no more space in memory to do so. Is there a reason why the internal memory keeps going down only from updating apps? Is there anything I can do to stop this, like a directory to manually clear out that is being missed by clearing the cache? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
Did you have it moved to the sd card (USB storage) before and the update installed it on phone memory? Then just move it to USB storage again.

I move all the apps I can to the SD card. I keep some on the internal memory because i use their widgets and they won't load if the app is on the sd card. When the apps that are stored on the sd card get updated they definitely stay on the SD card but the internal memory still goes down. Same result with the apps that get updated that are stored on the internal memory of the phone. No matter which apps (SD or phone stored) get updated, the internal memory will keep going down until there's none left. I'd understand if the updates were a larger file size then the originals, but they aren't. I also just tried wiping the dalvik cache, but that didn't increase the memory either. It's just weird that I have to re-flash the same ROM every few months just so I can keep updating apps.
Download Memory Booster Lite from the market and check what is using your memory in the task killer. Kill apps you are not using that are autoloading. If they keep loading back up freeze them with something like Titanium pro or bloat freezer.

I'm trying to install a 3.5mb app from Play Store and it keeps giving me "Not enough space" error. I have at least 500mb free space and I even tried wiping cache partition but to no avail. What else can I do?
It started happening after using the android-lag-fixing app Seeder, although I'm not sure if it is directly connected because I uninstalled the app and the problem persists.
Had same problem recently, used rom toolkit to move a heap of apps to sd card using the app manager in toolkit, this freed up a lot of system space and also gave me more operational ram, after a reboot i could download apps again, hope this helps

How did you move them to sd? My phone doesn't allow it. App2sd says I don't have sd card nor sd partition, and in rom toolbox it only allows me to backup apps.
Freeing up the cache helped though.
clear play stores data.. if that doesn't work then clear it again along with google services framework
In Rom Toolbox lite and pro version in the app manager if you star/check an app in downloaded list there is a pop up sliding options bar with choices such as uninstall, freeze, move to sd card, use finger to scroll it left or right to choose apps2sd, you can star multiple apps and move to sd storage in bulk which in gnex is internal sd storage, it will apparently move any user apps, if you only got 500mb left in internal sd storage you will probably start getting pop up low memory warnings if you move too many apps to sd. Internal sd is 13.* gb @K786 fix lookd easier and quicker anyway

Some apps look for percentage available instead of MB available or some nonsense.
Could also be that it needs to install some secured data, and that's going into a place you don't have enough space.
Also, if you had an app installed on external memory at some point, and you try to reinstall it, you'll get that error. Check your Application Manager for any apps that have the memory card icon on them. Those can cause problems.
Personally, I use Link2SD Plus, which requires an SD card. This allows you to move whole applications to a second partition of the SD card. Works well with the tab 3, and leaves me with lots of free space.
I'm assuming when you say ROM space free, you mean System partition space free? I only have about 9MB free on mine and it causes no problems.
Have had this issue on my phone before because the ROM itself locked the device as read-only, causing any app to give that error, and had to flash it again.
I had a bunch of unknown junk cluttering my user/data partition (they're the same physical area on the device), and had to wipe the "internal storage" and "data" from a custom recovery after backing up my data I cared about.
Hopefully this is informative, and hopefully someone else can be more helpful
Good luck to you

i dont know what it says but i think it means read-only memory, and my tablet has no recovery mode it only shows "downloading mode"
I don't know if this is a permanent solution but I noticed that I had no "OBB" file in "Android " on my "extsdcard". I created said file and moved all files from "OBB", "sdcard0" to new OBB file. I then started a program who's file I moved to new OBB and immediately closed. Then went back to original OBB to delete newly created file (double) for that app. Now all my apps download straight to extsdcard in the new OBB file. I can also move apps to SD card from app manager .
Let me know if it worked for you.

hi guys,
please help me out.. i have no games installed on my device. only required few apps out of which most of them are moved to sd card. all my music/photos is on sd card. yet the internal storage space fills up very quicly and even i cant update my existing apps. an error crops up - not sufficient storage left.
I have to reformat my phone again and again to get storage space reclaimed.
I've been using Clean Master to free up space whenever I update anything.
Side note: looks like Titanium Backup can remove system apps now. Failed in the past, but I just uninstalled Bubbles.
Now if only I knew what was safe to remove and what wasn't.
If an app can be disabled normally, can one assume it's safe to uninstall?

Root the device and uninstall all bloatware from system. also, with some effort, you can install Link2SD and move most apps and data to SD-card after Root.
