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.

How do I keep android from filling up my SD card?? It has a android file full of cache over 6 GB worth. As soon as I delete it it starts filling it up again, that isn't why I expanded my micro SD.

Use a cache cleaner that clears SD cache. I use Cache Cleaner NG & have it run automatically every morning. I set it to use the old method in settings because it runs faster and seems to be more thorough.
It's probably one specific app that's doing it. Have you done anything to move your cache to your SD? If so, you may want to move it back to internal.

That is exactly what I did and it works wonderfully, thanks

I've always used ROM manager to make, rename or delete a nandroid. The app shows that there are no backups but when I go into CWM it shows there are 6! I tried to save my current setup and was unable to because there is no available memory.
Those 6 are clogging up potential available space does anybody know how else I can delete them?? I searched a bunch of files in Root Explorer but couldnt find anything. I want to check out TWRP because I hear a lot of hype about it but need to get this situation dealt with first.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated

Did you set up which location you're storing it in... In ROM manager that is. You should check out both your emmc and sd card or uhhh depending on your Rom, sdcard and ext

There it is, nice!! External SD Card. I can't believe I overlooked that file. Thank you for the help!
I obviously can't see what's right in front of my face, I swear I could be in a room with an elephant and not even know it was there :silly:
Yeah you could set up ROM manager to external sd card so you can organize it that way lol. And that phrase is totally used out of context but works lol

hey yall just wanting someone to explain in simple terms how to move my apps from internal storage to SD card. like 85% of my internal space is taken up by apps. i know technically its not supposed to affect performance but i think it is in a secondary way. can someone please explain how to transfer apps and if it can be done with a file explorer app or if it has to be done in PC?
TIA
Go for Link2SD! One and only solution!

In settings applications manage applications click on each one. If the move to USB button is not greyed out hit it.

Just make sure you don't use a widget with an app you want to move. It won't work if the apps on the sd card.

If you are just clearing items from the internal SD and not from any system locations then you should be fine. Everything on internal SD is just extra storage for you and your apps. You may lose saves and settings if you were to just clear the whole thing. I would suggest going through and deleting the largest items or moving them to external SD. Use Disk Usage app to view the largest items and see what needs to be moved. Use GL to SD to move large games to the external SD but do note that you MUST launch them from GL to SD if you do this. GL to SD does require root. Also, I would advise deleting pictures and video if you use your camera a lot. Back them up first of course. If you have Google+ installed with it set to auto upload your photos and videos, this won't be a problem.

What are some things I could delete or move to SD to get more internal memory. I am running liquid smooth ROM. I know there used to be an apps to SD option through titanium backup but I don't see it anymore.

Have you read any of the other numerous threads on the subject of internal memory? This subject has been covered so many times and it's always the same thing.

Use folder mount to move big files to ex card. This phone does not have option yet to move apps to sd unless you use a rom from another carrier on it.

This!
The easy bet is that it is your rom backups. That has been the answer for all 900 other people who have made this same thread.

That's why you always save backups on the ex card. Never save them on internal sd.

I always search before making a post. Haven't started too many posts... Sorry I couldn't find the answer :/ but thank you other guys for the help. I wasn't sure if backups could go to SD because of them being through cwm. But yes I knew they were taking a lot of my memory away.

Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
To get back ups to sd, first you search your recovery since they are not all created equal. On cwm I know you have the option right after you select backup and restore. It is a few selections down. Not sure on twrp, Im sure its easily spotted though.
Figured out how to back up to SD. Thanks for the help!
