Did you make sure to delete these files off of your internal SD card and not your external SD card?
Are you stock or rooted? If so what rom are you using?
When did you notice this issue?

I believe the diskcacheindex files can just be erased. Do you have journaling on by any chance?

Anything cache-related is used to avoid buffering during real-time program execution. I know, a bunch of gibberish. But a great example is Gallery. By building a cache of the pictures, it can provide more instant thumbnails, rather than re-scanning and generating them each time the app is launched.
The simple answer is that virtually anything on the SD card can be manually deleted with any file explorer or through your computer. Cache files can manually be cleared for any app. But note, cache files will simply re-build each time apps are run.
If there's more you're asking about, feel free to elaborate.
Try sd maid. Its free in the market

So I have the OTA and lately its been showing the low space warning when there is clearly 430MB available when I check it. Any ideas on why it's like that, I even moved most of the apps to the SD Card.

What version are you running? You can find that in the About Phone menu.
The low space is referring to the /data/data partition which only has 150 Megs of space. Do you have a lot of apps installed from the market? How about lots of mail?

Well yeah I have a lot of apps but most of them are on the SD card. I'm running the release 2 from incubus?

Assuming CM9 or CM10, Menu, Manage Apps, All. Select an app, and if you have a "Move to SD Card" select that. Go through all your apps and do the same for those with the Move to SD Card option. That should free up some space.
Do that for a couple apps, then download app2sd app from market. This app will show u all the apps that r movable, and will allow u to move them all without selecting individual ones.

Owh I thought third party email app. Seems like there's no other way. :/
If you have root you could link2sd i think or convert to user instead of system app and move it then i think but not sure.

Phone is already rooted. Haven't tried link2sd though. I think link2sd is just sharing some part of the app from phone mem and sd card but it doesn't link incoming files/data to sd card.
Hope there can be a work around.
I usually check pdf and ppt files before I go to sleep and do some gaming for awhile. the phone runs slows because of incoming emails that potentially fills up the phone memory.
As a solution, i restored factory settings first and have a clean run of phone memory and not synched my email yet. I have tried different apps such as maildroid but they all save data on phone memory.
It was nice getting response from you guys. hope there is a solution for this.
Please advise.
Thank you.
Hi,
My note 2 has this weird problem. The available memory will gradually reduced without any reason until it reaches 0 and all the phone functions cannot be used including receiving calls.The phone is stock ROM with minimal app installed. It happened after a month of usage.Initially I tot it was some rogue app that causes the problem hence I did a full wipe, rooted with wanam lite ROM installed but the problem still persisted.
I factory reset without any app installed except for Whatsapp and Facebook but the available memory still reduces until 0 bytes without any reason. The phone only shows 2GB files while the rest vanished into thin air unless I factory reset again.
I have exhausted all troubleshooting methods including wiping cache and dalvik, factory reset, rooted and custom ROM installed.
I would like to see anyone has a solution with such issues. Thanks.
Update: Partially solved

found the culprit. it was cause by the dumpstate from the phone which consistently building up over time with 6MB per file. Once cleared all the file, the missing space will return.
No idea how to stop it thou, but at least I do not need to factory reset it every time now.
it's located within the root directory under data>log

Re: Note 2 reducing available space
Possibly your miscellaneous files taking up space. These are all your synced pictures etc. Try to locate cloud agent via settings storage misc. See how much space its using?

But the file explorer and es file explorer are not able to analyze the internal storage properly.
That's why I'm not able to determine which misc files is building up over time. No cloud storage used.

Could be a virus. Do you have 4.1.1 or 4.1.2?

4.1.2.. I did a factory wipe before..
Re: Note 2 reducing available space
CREate a difeerwnt google account and use the phone with that acfount for a little while to see that makes a different. I am thinking something is installed without you knowing it. I can only assume culprit is with your google account and virud as mentioned before. Do you have a sd card inside ? If yes remove and tey diferewnt one. And rhe last thin comes to my mind is your internal srorage might be failing.

Re: Note 2 reducing available space
download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage it will show you exactly what's eating up your space. its probably the thumbnails folder in /dcim ..if that's the case just delete the whole folder
don't forget the Thanks button

But if the phone actually gives you a notification about low disk space then you can't install apps...

Had the same problem, I formatted the internal SD card and now I have a lot of free space!!

FOUND A FIX
I was searching for the cause of space getting low day by day without any app installed n figured out it was logs under /data/log as u hv already found out.
I deleted all files in the folder n changed permissions n now no more log files.
FIX:
Remove "write" permission to the folder /data/log
Change it from rwxrwxr-x to r-xr-xr-x or r--r--r-- or ---------
I changed it to r-xr-xr-x
Report any unusual behavior after changing permissions.
In my case always this is the culprit. Always keepa on drinking storage and comes back after deleting.

all those caused from /data partition and specific from /data/media
You can formata data/media from recovery(suggesting philz) and solve your problem.
Be aware that you will loose all user data
