You basically have to start to delete stuff you don't need. Go to system settings and storage and start from there. You can actually move apps to the sd card. There's a hack in the development section posted by zedomax. I haven't tried it but you can check it out. Make sure you carefully read the instructions.

Thanks guy.. I was hoping someone can show me how to move my app data... The application itself is not heavy.. Just the data..

Insufficient Storage Space

Hi all! I am a long time infuse user who finally made the switch to the note 2 and I am loving it so far. I decided to make the jump from stock and I am currently on Jedi ROM 6.1.2. Everything has been working fantastically so far, and I have been using Perseus Kernel without any issues for about 5 days. Today I was trying to update some of my apps and I got the error message below. I tryed top fix permissions, wipe cache, reinstall the ROM and delete Marley data all to no avail. I still can't update my current apps or install new ones. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Check your internal storage space by going to settings > storage.

Bump. I would really appreciate some help with this. I rarely addled for help with the infuse. I actually started a general support thread for answering all rom, modding, or rooting related questions. I don't know what's going on here though. I could use some tips. Thanks

For me this was due to app2sd. I removed rom toolbox and disabled app2sd nd all was good

Did you wipe system? Did not see that listed in your attempts at a remedy when reflashing. Not saying you didn't, just throwing it out as a double check on your steps. Are you using cwm or twrp?
Sent from the Millennium Falcon

Thanks for all the responses! I wiped system, is 8gb available, and I did have ROM toolbox, but I deleted it. How can I disable apps to sd if I deleted the toolbox?

I had an issue like this. It was due to lucky patcher. Do you have that installed?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

I recall something similar from my Dell Streak and custom ROM. It's not local storage space but something to do with download cache area. There's a way to clear it - sorry for no more detail but hopefully will put you on the right track.

We have a winner!!! I was somehow able to get rom toolbox back on my phone and then I changed the app2sd settings. Now everything is working again and all is right in the world. Thanks everyone!

0 folder problem fix!

Hey guys, so I've seen many people with the 0 folder problem... Many people keep asking how to deal with it... A simple way would be just to backup your apps, pics and etc on to your computer. Then finally wipe your system and wipe your whole internal storage... After that just install another Rom and restore everything... Took me 20 min....

So just wipe internal storage? What about formatting data?

Nope, /0 is made on internal not data, so it wouldnt help either way

Mind if I just ask here what formatting data in recovery actually does? Also if I wipe internal data I lose anything on my sd right. I'm just s little hazy on this and there's no post to explain this
Sent from my SPH-L710

Select all files including .hiddens and move them back to the root of sd, then rename to 0 to .0 be happy.
Sent from my SPH-L710

how do you keep it from coming back when flashing new roms? always get new 0 folder when flashing or restoring.

That folder is created on all 4.2+ roms because they repartition your sdcard that way

Don't keep anything that you want to save on the internal sd card and re format it every time before you flash a new rom. But that means the rom or anything you are flashing or don't want to loose must be stored on your external SD card.

I've tried that and the folder always comes back. I've erased internal memory and used an old restore from before using a 4.2 ROM. Doesn't matter what I do it comes back. Even my stock restore will create it. Do I need to reboot after clearing internal memory?

Did you miss the part that if you use a 4.2 rom you will have it no matter what! It's the way 4.2 roms work designed like that by Google. All you can stop is creating multiple O folders. The only way your going to eliminate it is going back to a 4.1 rom.

fresh install 5.4gb used!?!?!?!

So I did a fresh install of a tw rom and its saying I have used 5.4 gb Ive factory rest like 3 times already ... whats the deal thanks.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium

Your system and recovery partitions use a portion of the 16gb that the phone has. Kind of like if you do a fresh install of Windows on you PC, the system files take up part of the hard drive. There's no real way around that.

Are you saying the device shows total available internal memory to be ~9GB? If that is the case, that's the way it is with the way it's partitioned. If you mean there's 5.4GB missing out of the ~9GB it's supposed to have, then there's a problem.

your backup is in the external, can't see it unless you're in recovery. I figured out the hard way.

If you are using CWM and have made a backup (or two) check /data/media/clockwork. It's the root of the phone, not of the internal memory partition or SD card.

Partition issue

First of all sorry if this issue has already been addressed, I looked around could not find much on this issue, anyways I have been running deathstalker s3 for a while, I decided to try deathstalker s4 , it installed okay but the phone kept force closing any system app I tried to run , I reverted back to deathstalker s3 and my phone constantly displays low storage and says 330mb of free space, but in the settings > storage, it displays a lot of free space in the bar graph but none of it is useable, once again sorry if this has already been asked, any suggestions in the right direction would be helpful
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium

I would format the external sd and the internal sd and do a complete wipe and re download the rom to your external sd and flash the newly download ed rom

Do you have any nandroid backup stored on the phone? Those take up lots of spaces. If not you might need to do a format as suggested.

Check /data/media/ you must have some hidden files stored there.

Thanks for the help all of you 100% in the right direction, now I'm a lot closer but I think something else is hidding files, now I'm at 4.62gb out of 9.62gb after deleting the the clockworkmod backups, once again thank you for everyone's input
