Look at the pictures I attach. The Samsung entry takes up a lot of space. Is this something I can safely delete? What is it by the way?

I think it's dropbox syncing files to your phone, though not 100% sure.

The sky service in settings? There you can sync Dropbox to phone.

Yes. If you have it turned on, and there's no other dropbox entry in storage overview, that's most likely it. Delete the cloudagent folder in /sdcard and see if it's gone.

Use a file manager (or browse from your PC) and look what it contains. It could be files that are synchronized via Samsung Kies. By default the "Samsung" folder is around 102 MB only. It contains a video file, a music files and some images for wallpaper.

Hi,
Why not move them to your external sd? This way you can save your internal sd space. Please note that the free space for internal sd and sdcard partitions are shared.

Uh, could you confirm that you mean that free space in internal and external storage is shared ?
Because as far is I know you are wrong.

Hi,
What I meant is the free space for internal (hidden partition where the apps are installed) and the sdcard position are shared. Not the external sd.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4
Whatever you do, you won't be able to use more than 10.46 GB of data. Even if you switch to an aosp ROM which is less than 1/3 the size of touchwiz ROM , you will still only be able to use 10.46 GB.
Some apps showing 11.2 GB including titanium backup is the same as only 14gb usable out of 16gb usable. You can multiply 11.2 x 1000^3 and divide it by 1024^3 and get roughly 10.46
Resizing partitions is a different case.

My internal SD is totally full. I do not take a lot of pictures and perhaps have 5 gigs of music. Is there a program to clean up junk, and or free up space?
I use this app to move apps and to clean phone https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.advancedprocessmanager
Also setup box account and drop box account and such to save stuff on cloud.

Mount your internal via USB, cut and paste it to your PC. You can upload it to your dropbox or any other cloud service and it will always be available

Seriously though, just use explorer, copy the stuff you know you want off it and delete the rest in non-system directories.. That's what I do.. Then again, you could always get a big whopping 64gb sdcard and use it instead..
Look in your download folder. Old roms were my problem.

Something seems to be wrong with the calculation of my internal storage. I feel like I should have more free space. Any ideas where this used space could be hiding? And how I'm using 523MB for pictures isn't possible, I have around 70 photos on this phone. They average 2MB each.

Download Es file explorer, once inside click menu "3 dots" click manager then click SD card analyst. It will show you what your apps are eating or various things being stored. Most likely my guess is a bunch if non sense thumbnails. Probably a bunch of small files.

Glad I found this. Was finally able to locate some old game files that were taking up 3 GB !!Thanks!
I have the exact same problem and this worked, but when I delete it it says the space is free, but j get out and go back and the files are all back again. Its been like this ever since I rooted and unlocked my phone.
Can someone do me a favour a and check their total internal memory. Mine is at 10.36gb. Is this not too small? I wasn't expecting the full 16gb, but even so...

Yes its only 10.36 GB free. Probably the remaining is used by Samsung pre-installed apps etc.

Do a search for the old spotify apk, it lets you choose external. You uninstall spotify, install the old one and choose external storage (download a song to confirm its on ext), then upgrade to the current version and it will keep external as your storage location.

Thanks for saying what the memory is. Just proves to me that I need one with more memory.
Hurry up Samsung and release the larger versions.
Hello could anybody explain me this on the pic? How is it possible that I having 25 Gb of internal memory and only using less than 5 Gb in total of pics, apps, music than downloads, it says that I have only 2,41 Gb available?

the sub categories only measure specific folders not the entire card. like pictures, videos reports the size of the DCIM folder.
If you add up the different sections it will not include things like CWM backups and custom folders that you add I add folder for CWM zip files called ZIPS to the root of my card
If you look at mine it does the same thing, they dont add up.
but if you look at the details of the internal card from my root file manager it shows I have 7GB used which does add up. dont forget the size differences from GB to MB. 1GB is not 1,000MB
Thanks. So I'll have to erase some back up to free some space, no?
EDIT: it seems that "others" is using the most memory, upon looking up it seems like Titanium Backup folder is the culprit. Some advice?
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
you can transfer your titanium backup files to pc.
Could I transfer them back with no problems later today even if the apps update?
I'll try, thanks
I did but it just freed 6 Gb, it still has a lot of space occupied by "others"..
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
yes you can get it back without problems, look again into your folders.
Check the cwm recovery folder for outdated/unused backups.
When connected to PC you can right click on all the root folders of the sd card and check properties for folder sizes. This should be easier than tapping on phone. That is if your not already doing this.
You may even find a storage app from the market.

Hello, can anyone explain to me how Directory Bind app actually works? In fact, in the app, I have no idea of why the default source directory is always the external SD card (instead of the internal SD by logic). Also, have anyone here actually get this app work on Note 2 since all the videos of demonstration of the app I saw online were done on those very old Gingerbread phones.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It works fine on the note 2. There is a really good tutorial in the note2 general section somewhere. Thats what I used. I'd probably recommend folder mount though as that will work on 4.2 and 4.3 whereas directory bind doesn't if I remember correctly
Sent from my GT-N7105 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes..directory bind did not work on 4.3. You can use folder mount if you're on 4.3.

Nope, it works just fine on 4.1.2. It maps folder on EXT SD to INT SD. So source is a folder on EXT SD and when you map it, OS sees it as INTernal... pretty simple.

I downloaded it but even when I selected the bind, it basically just moved everything from the source folder to the destination folder and emptied the source folder. However, the new files that suppose to go to the selected folder on the extsd also went to the int SD. Therefore, there is still something in the SD. Why?

It basically tricked your system to make it looks like the files in in internal sd, where they are actually in external sd.
Try unbind it, you can see that the folder in internal sd is actually empty.

However, do I always need to reserve about 2GB for the internal SD in order for the system to run those big apps since every time I bind the directory, it will think that 2GB is occupied?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
And will the program only mount the apps only when I launched it ? Since if those apps were always mount go the folder, the system would always think that they are in the internal SD and occupy space.

Nope. You can check your internal sd storage space in setting/storage..it will stay the same when you bind or unbind.
