Hello guys,
Actually I am a NEO user. But I can't find the neo forum so I just post this question here.
Yesterday my phone said there was a software update. After it downloaded about 45m data, it said there was an error so that the update cannot be processed. Then in this morning, I got a storage quota warning. The internal storage is less than 40m left. Last time I checked the internal storage was 70ish. So I am wondering if the software update files occupy the missing storage. Does anyone have any idea where I can find these files? Thanks in advance!

hey guys,
i am on stock lollipop 5.1 but every time i try to download from play store. it pops up an error about insufficient storage, although i do around 250-300 mb free in internal and 1gb in my sd card.
please help
and thanks in advance :laugh:
Same Issue
I am facing the same issue. I have also tried a workaround. I have rooted my phone and now move most of the apps (except system ones) to the SD card. Still every time an app is updated it moves to the phone by itself and I have to move them over again. This is very annoying in case there are multiple apps requiring update and I cant update them all at once since after one of them updates, there is no more space. Is there any fix on this issue or maybe another workaround?? Any help is really appreciated. Thanks
I think the only solution is rooting the phone and making a partition in your SD card for apps, then all apps will install in that location without going to internal storage.
Hello,
Just upgraded my LG G4 (H815) to marshmallow. Before upgrade I had about 15GB internal storage space empty. During upgrade my phone asked if I wanted to back up and I said yes. Now after upgrade my phone is saying I have 22.70 GB of total storage and have used up 22.02 GB!!! Where did all my space go? Is there a hidden backup file sitting somewhere which is eating up all my space? Can someone please guide me? I am at a loss. Don't really want to reset my phone if I can avoid it. I am having difficulty installing any new apps because of such low space. Also, I do have an external SD card and have already transferred most of the apps there. Still no joy. Many thanks in advance.

Thanks. Will give it a go.
Do not install this:

Found the 15GB backup file sitting in the internal storage and deleted it. I have my disk space back now . Thanks.
Hello. I've noticed that somehow my internal storage partition got its capacity reduced. It is a 32Gigs model. Before it was 29ish or so, can't really tell now it shows 23 gigs max?
I've been trying to figure out how it happened. I did updated to Marshmallow prior to shrinking. Do you guys have similar issues or experience and suggestions to share? Thank you.

I do remember reading a thread that talked about internal space being reduced after update to MM...
Can't remember where I saw it....but if I remember correctly it was a duplicate file left behind about 3 gig in size...
Once deleted the device storage returns to normal...
Perhaps someone more familiar with that issue will chime in with a solution for you....g
Hey greg. Thanks for your reply. I've noticed a file/folder when doing a twrp backup. Twrp backup shows "system image" of more than 4 gigs + "system" while data is normally around 1 gig. System and System image do have different size though. I don't know yet if that can be related with what ate my memory.
EDIT: Screenshot of that System Image when backing up: http://i.imgur.com/K1gQXyh.png
I've no idea from where it came and whatnot. All I know is that my internal storage capacity got reduced. Thanks
Figured that the system image is for stock backing up for later use such as taking an OTA update. But still I can't figure our why capacity got down.
I recently bought a Huawei Mediapad M2 8.0. It came with lollipop 5.1 and I manually upgraded it to 6.0.1 by following a guide I found on xda. This morning, while downloading a pretty large file I got a notification telling me there's not enough storage space left. I've got almost no personal files on it, just apps.
Now here's the weird part:
Storage manager shows only ~700MB/10.5 GB left
After using the storage cleaner, the Advanced Storage manager shows ~9.8/10.5 GB left, while Storage manager still finds only 700 MB of free space.
I've looked everywhere and I can't find anything that takes up that much space.
What's wrong?

Hmmm....that's weird. Did you try checking it after a reboot? Maybe the filesystem hasn't flushed the cleanup changes to the SD card (although it would be rare for this to happen, but anyway a reboot would solve it by sync'ing all mounted filesystems)...
This question is in relation to my other active thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/lineage/help/app-installation-issues-lineage-os-14-1-t3590758
I wiped CM12.1 OPO and the Internal Storage in the hopes of removing any remnants of few apps that are not installing as per the above thread. But now the internal storage isnt accessible anymore. Only via TWRP connected to the laptop am I able to load files in to the 64GB Internal Storage of the OPO. Otherwise creating simple folders and copying data using the inbuilt Files App of Lineage OS14.1 Nightly (April 10th 2017 Build) or even File Transfer Protocol or MTP from Laptop to the device isnt happening. Taking a screenshot, using the camera, transferring data via ShareIt are not working anymore as the message received is insufficient storage space. My guess is that the boot partition is the only space these apps are being allowed to use (which obviously isnt enough) Apps however are getting installed into the internal storage. TWRP and Android are the only two folders in the Internal Storage. How do I take care of this issue? Please help! SOMEONE!
