My cousin has a epic 4g and it's very low on internal memory but deleting apps doesn't affect it. How can she clear some of the memory (the memory seems to not be accessible when connected to the pc)? Is this memory associated with stored texts?
Is she rooted? She can try moving to the MTD partition it has a much larger internal memory storage on stock bml is 400 or so on mtd its 670mb =]. Otherwise it could be she needs to delete some of the apps she doesn't use or move them to the sd card... least the ones she can.

You can also sort apps by size and see which are the largest ones and either uninstall them or try to move them to USB storage.

Delete texts, delete large games, move apps to SD, delete large apps, delete call logs.

OK...so I download some huge file games and have lots of pics and music etc...I had to clear about 800mb to finalize my Nova 2 install. Now I'm out of space.
My question is...the next time I download and it says there is not enough space...what else can I do? I have an external SD card..but it's not putting files on that one instead.
Ideas?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343187
Well its not the internal 2gb mem.. its the internal 16gb that's running out... it won't let me download directly to the external.. keeps saying I don't have enough room on my USB SD.. and I have an external 16gb with about 5gb ready to use

then is even easier
just free up space on the internal SD and move it to your external SD
or you can mount the /sdcard/DOWNLOAD into /sdcard/external_sd/DOWNLOAD for stuff to download to your external SD instead of the internal SD
use the Gameloft reference, instead of that do it for download folder
Can you share that script?

Is it formatted the same way, where you have to install games in to your internal instead of the external memory card?

Apps as well. Never owned a Samsung phone before. Would like to move some apps to sd. What gives? How can I get apps to move to sd?
Sorry if this is a rather silly question. But when you insert a micro sd card into the note, does it simply make your storage space expand from the internal memory, so when you install large apps they share the memory or do you have to physically move the apps across to the card. If you know what I mean

you have to move them
Most apps install in system partition but the data of few larger apps is installed in internal memory like gameloft games or data in android folder.
You simply can not move those files to sd card. U need root access and 'movetosd' app to move system data to external MMC.

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.

So when I go into the storage on my phone it says 4.5gb of pictures on the internal storage but I have a 64gb memory card and save them to the card. I know some programs like IG and fb will default to internal and I see those folders when I go to ES file explorer.
My problem is that there are only a handful of such photos and I can't figure out where these so called 4.5gb of photos are? Are they in a hidden directory or something? I'd like to clear up some of the storage on the phone as it tells me there's only 500mb available

When im full up I use an app called "drives".. I dont love its UI but it helps me find where the big hog files are...

Connect your phone to the pc and go into your internal storage and move content to a folder on your pc or the ext SD card.
It's faster and neater.
