Weird problem never had it before. All apps get sorted to the devices memory which is only 2 gb... eventually I get msg space running out cant sync, update or dowbload more apps... shouldbnt the apps be downloading onto the device usb storage itself which is 14-16gb??? Under settings , storage I get 2 gb device memory, 16 gb device usb storage and 16 gb sd card external storage and yet everything goes to the 2 gb partition... what the hell..?! I heard something about a wiping script. Im using the twrp recovery.. help?

Correct me if i am wrong, but with all android phones, the internal storage is partitioned. 2 gigs are used for downloaded apps, another couple of gigs are used for the system and the rest of the remaining storage is used for the downloaded data within the apps.
Also try moving some of your apps to the SD card. It will help free up some storage in that 2gb partition.

Ou might be right for the partitions but ive never had this problem before. I think something messed up perhaps the partitions? I moved all my apps to the sd card the problem is still there. The bigger storage in the phone just iant being utilized or sonething like that.. I was on the embryo rom for good 4 -5 months had ****load of apps and never had an issue.. been running jedi rom for a few weeks and encoutered this problem. It just doesnt make sence.

I had this same issue on jmt v5, I have no idea what caused it or how to fix it I tried everything, it's like the Rom won't store anything anywhere but the system partition, it's very strange, I switched to embryo Rom by Mohan, all the great touchwiz stuff, very fast and stable, only difference is no Wi-Fi calling, but if u can handle that go flash embryo, best touchwiz Rom I've seen to date

Question. Maybe i just never payed attention to notice this, but last night i rooted my phone with 10minute method and sd card click-in. Then followed the same guys video to NAND. Installed CM6, first making a backup of my rom just rooted which is stored on the SD card. When i go to settings on my phone, then go to Storage information. I have 400mb left on my SD Card, which is only 2gb and a rom backup and such. Understandable. However, my actual PHONE storage says only 700mb. Why is there only 700mb available on a 8gb internal storage?? Seems kinda low. Anyway to free this up or do i need to worry about it?
The 700mb is phone storage for apps and stuff. The 8gb is internal storage which is just like another sd card but built in and actually it's about 6.8gb. I know that in CM5.08 the internal storage was not recognized so this may be a problem on CM6. You should look on one of the threads for that rom and see if that's the case.

EDIT: Disregard. different issue.
Neither cm 5.0.8 or cm6 show the internal flash as of yet. I have been using the skyraider froyo+sense Rom that recently came out and it has the memory available.

Same here.
Hi together!
I am on ARHD and just recognized a strange SD-card behaviour.
My storage was shrinking. In the beginning I had around 5 Gbyte free space, and after several updates and tweaks my storage shrinked around 4 Gbyte and I was left with around 1 Gbyte free space.
I am not sure, if ROM causes the problem or LeeDroid Tweaks on the ROM, but I formatted SD today, and for now everything is ok.
Did anybody of you recognize similar SDcard behaviour on your ROMs and if, what is the cause.
Thanks.
I have had the same problem on stock non-rooted 1.28. I noticed I was missing 1 gb so I restarted and after my reboot I lost another gb, after that one I didn't lose any more storage, but I still don't have that 2 missing gb.

No Issues
I'm running LeeDroid 4.0 rom and can't say I have seen this issue. I have loaded my sd card and have 5gb free and that has remained constant with all the rom updates and tweaks that have been made.
I'm on InsertCoin v3.3.0 and suddenly my storage went from 9gb to 6,3gb or something..
Very strange indeed...
Any insight woild be greatly appreciated folks

Suddenly I lost another 2 gb, what could it be?

What I did was making a backup of my SD. Formatted Phone storage and put backup back onto SD.
Since that day everything seems fine (hopefully!) But I am keeping an eye on that.

I tried doing that but after I formatted my sd storage there's already 1 gb missing. Could that be dalvik cache?

Yes, here also but then I reformatted and it's good. But I think it will come back when I flash or update my Rom.

mine storage also was getting lower and lower. on different post someone said that es explorer trash files need to be removed,so u can gain memory back.
but i didnt have es explorer. running on exodized.rom. so moved all my folders from sd card to pc, formatted sd card, and put back on files, and that gives me back 10gb extra !!!! really strange
i am getting really flamed.. i have missing 15GB of storage !! wtf HTC!
already been reported guys have a look here

I'm sure it's been addressed but I'm having issues when installing apps from the market. It downloads them but when it installs I get no storage space. It's impossible because I have over 3gb storage free and 1gb internal storage. I'm running cm10.1 1/25 if that helps. Just weird considering I installed things fine the other day

I was getting this error, too. I couldn't figure out what was taking up so much space on my internal SD. I did a search on it and clockwork can leave behind some serious blobs. Delete the clockwork folder, namely the blobs folder, but I just deleted everything and made a new backup.
While your at it, look for other old, unused files on your SD to delete. ROM toolbox will give you a last modified date. I only delete stuff that hasn't been used in like 2 months.
Another great way to free up space is by using apps to SD. I move all my games and larger apps to my SD card. I'm working with well over 100 downloaded apps and I haven't even filled up half of my internal storage.
Bottom line, storage space requires a little maintenance now and then, just like a computer. Unclutter. Delete all the crap you'll never use.
I had the same issue with clockwork mod. The blobs was using up 1.5 gigs of internal space.
From what I read it has to do with the new way that incremental backups are done. But I don't do any nandriod on my internal memory so I don't know how it got there.
I just deleted the blobs and it gave me that space back. Will look into apps to sd.

Well I erased the clockworkmod folder and still nothing its very selective about the apps it gives the error to. I installed shadow gun dead zone and it went fine but I tried a battery app and it gave the error

Have you tried clearing market data? It might be as simple as that.
Also, get ROM toolbox and back up your apps once you get this figured. I usually stop that data hoggin' auto download from the market and just install ROM toolbox. I restore apps only and some select data. WAY faster! Use less battery! Switch ROM fast!
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
Sent from a phone that's 2 Note-worthy, via XDA Premium HD app.
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.
