Ok, so i was looking at my storage usage today, and im a little curious. i am currently using 8.7gb of my SD Card. Only 13 apps are on my SD Card, I have 5 movies, only about 30 songs, about 100 photos, i do have 3 nandroid back up files, (i deleted 2 old ones) what the hell is sucking up all my storage?... lol If i go to my sd card via es file explorer or on my PC, i have a ton of folders but a lot of them are empty. Any ideas? Im tempted to wipe the card and put back only the things i want, but im not sure what on there is there as a dependency for something else.... lol
Like to know as well

Disk Usage will help you identify what's using up all your space
SD Maid will identify unused folders etc
Nandroid backups use up alot of space ; games have downloadable data which take up anywhere from 50mb-1.x GB...
Sandisk have a sd card management app ; try searching the market for it or try out one of the ones alread ysuggested ; Haven't tried them personally.
Thanks guys I'm gonna look into it, I forgot about game data I have 6 games, I'm willing to bet that's where its all at.
Edit - That SD Maid is a bad a** little program!!

I had root uninstaller and it had an option to auto backup everything I uninstalled. I accidentally stumbled over the backups and noticed they were 2.5 gb of apks...
If you use or used root uninstaller check sd/ root uninstaller/ autobackup.
Also check the sd card for game data leftovers.

I searched and didnt find anything...although Im sure there is some thread out there that I missed but is there a APP that you can get that will allow you to store APPS on you SD card? Also there is only 1gb of internal memory for the EVO right?
Thanks in advance!
app2sd...i struggle to believe that you did a very good search...
app2sd, but I believe you need root. Just make sure you back up your SD card as it makes another partition. I just rooted and it cleared up 100+ mb from my internal memory.
Also 2.2 comes with sd app privledges.
Internal memory is around 400mb, which is a pretty decent number for a mobile phone. Apps2SD allows you to run apps from SD however I believe it won't allow you to restore them if something happens. For that you need Titanium backup or MyBackup or a froyo Rom which can automatically backup apps via Google.

Is there a way to move all your apps to the sd card? I have apps2sd but I have so many apps that my internal storage is almost full even after I moved all my apps that will go. But is there a way to trick the phone to install them all to the sd card? Im rooted.
Bump, anyone?
Bumpity Bump Bump. I would also like to know the answer to this question.
i use move2sd enabler...it's on the market.
what it will do is enable it so you can move ALL apps to sd card...even those that dont let you...just keep in mind not all apps will work from the sd card. but you dont lose anything by trying.
i've moved large files like NFS Shift and other games that dont normally have the move option, and they work just fine. same thing for the fascinate lwps that you flash, etc.
try it out
install move2sd enabler, run it and click i've read, next, and set it to external. click ok. then you move the apps through the Application Management part of the Settings

when I did this first my phone rebooted, tried again, rebooted again, then tried again and it went through like 160 apps in like five min or so, then checked available memory and nothing changed, rebooted to see if anything would change and nothing changed, any word what im doing wrong? fresh 3.3
Isint there something to do where you have to partition your sd card?
First I'll start by noting that I haad my n2 several days before purchasing a 64gb sd card. So system was already setup with a few apps installed pre-sdcard.
However now that I have it in, nothing saves to it. Everything still saves to the internal sdcard. I dont care about apps and such installed from market or xda, those are fine.
But anything I download from Tapatalk or the web browser automatically saves to internal. Pictures taken as well.
Im coming from an evo3d where pics and all media/files I downloaded would go to the sd card and not internal.
I do see that for whatever reason samsung nsmed there internal as sdcard which probably makes a lot of apps think that is the external and not internal but its extremely annoying. I dont know if its because I started using phone before I had an external one in or if thats by design.
But its ridiculous to think I'd have to manually copy everything over from internal to external sfter downloading something when my 3d used to place on external.
Do I need to factory reset to correct this or what. Whats the point of an external card that isnt being utilized??
Also it isnt recognized at all in twrp which after some reading I see it doesn't support 64gb? What gives?
Do I need to format it a certain way?
Thanks in advance.

I have not been able to move my Tapatalk download folder, but you can relocate where things download to under settings in the browser and camera apps.
For formatting, I'd format the card via the phone under storage if you haven't already tried that.

I changed camera to external so it now saves to /storage/extSdCard/DCIM which is good but dolphin broswer only lets u select /storage/sdcard0 which is default internal storage. Doesnt even show the extSdCard as an option. Why in the world would they do it like this. Very gay.
Had no issues on previous HTC models going to the correct place.
Would I be able to use root explorer to rename the directories?
Need this fixed more than anything. Some apps dont even give you the option to change path as they assume sdcard0 is your actual sdcard. :/

sdcard0 to extsdcard
I found a scripts the tricks ICS to use your external sdcard as your internal storage. So when apps write data to sdcard0 it is actually writting to your external sd. I tried it and it works!
I dont have permission to post outside links but you can find it at galaxynote2root in the tutorials section.
So I know that out of the 16 GB about half is taken up by the Samsung apps I'm fine with that. My question is this it shows 9.72 total space and if I add up everything on the internal SD card I should have about 4.5 GB available although it shows only 3.2 GB left. Any ideas where I should look or apps I could use to help trouble shoot this. I am using the Dark-stalker Rom latest version. This problem did happen with the stock ROM as well. The only thing I can think of is I used folder mount to store some data from a few game loft games on my external card. Since then I have deleted the games and unpinned the folders to be mounted to the SD card. I'm at a loss and would love any input.
I attached a pic of the storage read out
Thanks

Do you use ClockworkMod Recovery and save your backups to internal storage?
That could cause this because the rom backup doesnt show on the sd card list you posted.

OK so yea I forgot I did a backup before I flashed this rom. Where would I find out where it stored. Im assuming I could then just copy it to the SD for now until I needed it for any reason.

So last night I rooted my Note 2 (t889), installed titanium pro (froze bloatware), installed rom manager and set CPU. All of a sudden my phone is telling me i have no storage space avaliable. It is saying all my internal storage is used up and even tho it says i have 10+gb available on my 32gb sd card, its also stating that the SD card is full as well.
Can someone provide some insight. I dont understand. The phone was rooted and bloatware frozen how can all my storage all of a sudden be eaten up.
Thanks,
Bump please help this is irratating. I cant do many things with 0 memory
Chances are you froze something you shouldnt have. Defrost them all and start over 1 at a time

Use some kind file manager and check where space is used on internal storage and internal sd card. I think by default titanium backup saves copy of backup to internal sd card not your external 32 gig sd card.
