There's an app on the play store called Clean Master which can list all large files in a particular storage.

Where is ypur 7GBs? In internal or external SD. Email probably uses internal so if it is almost full you might need to free some space by mocing things to external or using an app like directory bind

I'm NOT on a custom rom. I'm on the stock Tmobile rom for the Note 2.
I'm also using the stock email program.
It doesn't give me the ERROR message when downloading small attachments (250kb). BUT when I try downloading a 7mb attachment...I get an ERROR??

i have the same exact problem... can anyone help me?? i have rooted n7100 on stock ROM... pls.. tnx
anyone?
I dont know if this will help you but I downloaded something off the market and deleted it well I tried to install it again and it kept saying that I was out memory.what i did was download root explorer and go to data then app and then find the program that you was trying to download and erase it
Try downloading link2sd from the play store. In settings try changing the storage location this solved the problem for me
With Root Explorer, check the size of your free space in /data folder. Check the /system folder as well
Wouldn't hurt to clear cache.
Also, in Settings, appliations, how much storage does the mail app say it is using?

i downloaded link2sd and it cant change the storage for email to sd... i cleared the cache and deleted the accounts also later and it still cant save the attachment that is 8mb in size... the email itself uses 27mb...

Got the same problem,
Note 2, LTE.
attachment >12MB: unable to save
I had the same issue & I was unable to download email attachments. Problem came after root Note Edge 915G
Please check below solution which worked for me. post #272

1.) Turn phone off.
2.) Power + Home + Volume Up.
3.) Go to install the SD Card fix (File you were asked to store on phone with SuperU)
4.) Install, after installing clear cache/Davink
5.)Install that same file again after & reboot. Should solve the email issue.

App installation - Problem

Hello,
my HTC One V has a problem with the app installation.
If I want to install apps from Google Play there is an error. It says: "Not enough free memory" or in german "Nicht genügend Speicherplatz verfügbar". But I have over 5GB free space.
Whats the problem?
Please have a look at the screenshots.
See your second screenshot:
Total Space : 0.94GB
Apps : 832MB
Available : 129MB
The available space needed for Play Store to work properly is around 140MB.
Go to Settings - Apps - On Storage - move some files to Storage Card to make more space available for Play Store
Apps installation will go to internal memory, not on sdcard that you still have 5GB free.
Thank you!
But how can I install apps to sdcard?
@ckpv5: but ck some apps are by default directly stored on sdcard. like i installed xda app and it was by default stored on card...why so??

That's depends on how the dev set the App Install Location in it's manifest. If it is set preferExternal; the installation will go to sdcard.

Are you asking how to set default location for app installation to sdcard ?
So whenever you install an app it is automatically go to sdcard ?

obb folder taking all my internal storage

I recently flashed cm10.1 on my GS3 and now I've got all my internal storage stuck in the storage/emulated/0/android/obb or storage/emulated/legacy/android/obb locations. Under settings it shows total space 12.05gb, available is 668mb but less than 1/4 of the visual bar is full and accounted for. Sd maid is showing the obb folder is holding 11.39gb but no matter what explorers I use it always appears empty. Anyone know how to free up this spae? I can't find anything anywhere about this. Thank you ion advance.
Edit:
Restoring it doesn't free the space up at all. Even tried restoring my backups and the space remains full.
The obb folder is what holds all of your game data. If you have a lot of games installed, especially ones such as Need for speed, grand theft auto, etc. Go into it and clear out the data for all the games you don't play.
I have zero games installed at all. It shows absolutely no files in the folder both regular and hidden and I cannot do anything to the folder whatsoever. Even a clean wipe won't help
This is all in the CM10.1 thread. It's all user data for different profiles. Format your sd card if you dont like it. Just make sure it's empty.

I have not seen it anywhere. This is all on the internal memory, not the sd card. Everything has stated it's empty but the system storage option in the settings . isn't there some way to force delete this folder?
Page three using the app. I meant internal sd. You can always format it.

That I have never heard of. I will look into it, thank you.
Tablet terminology, my bad. After switching from CM 10.1 to another ROM and copying its contents to the external sd, I formatted my internal sd in recovery.

Wow it worked! Thank you so much for the help.

It holds all internal data not just games every app has its own folder.

there is an xposed module that can fix this problem ..found this in google news app on my tablet,very helpfull for gamers.its called OBB to SD...install xposed framework on device as long as you running dalvic on your phone and not ART,cause xposed is not compatiable with ART,my gues is your running dalvic ...google xposed and read ..i see you have allready solved the problem..just adding to the answer,this is if you wanted to keep the files,for games..it moves all the files to the external storage,just make sure you get a large sd card..i like games,so i really find this mod helpful,also store my games on my 64 gig external storage
workaround and I thought it would be a nice idea to write it here.
I came to the counclusion that if I did a fresh new reset factory and installing a large mount of files in the internal storage's obb folder it ended up being deleted after rebotting my tablet.
So I decided to do a few steps the next time I reseted my tablet. First, I copied my files using my pc into the SD Card. Then, I installed a random game from Google Play so the tablet could "adapt itself" and install its own obb folder. After that, I installed my apps but not all at once but one at the time and rebooting after every installation for making sure it was all ok.
It concluded not having the error again and after having deleted the random game from the begining my tablet had finally worked.
Hope this idea helps someone having the same problem as I did. Just don't copy all obb files at once, don't copying it directly from the computer but copying them from the SD Card and install some random game for making sure it can at least hold those obb files.
Good luck!
Try Root Explorer and Delete the File from Root Folder

How is anyone else supposed to know what's on your device? Use a root file explorer, not the garbage Samsung one.
Look in Android/data and check all app folders

[Q] File Manager ~ Anyone know how to add a second Cloud Storage

Guys,
I have fired up the default File Manager and set it for Dropbox for Cloud Storage but I would also like to add another storage option.
The question being is there any way to add a second storage area or more?
The only reason I am using the default File Manager is because I want to transfer stuff from Cloud storage to the external MicroSD Card.
Thanks in advance.
If you go into the system settings and hit storage there should be some options but you can't add google drive or other services just the ones that it has listed (there are 3 if I remember correctly). I hope they add drive support.

The only options I see in Storage is 'Unmount SD Card & Erase SD Card'. Nothing on Cloud Stoage for the File Manager.
Just rousing interest.... Anyone have any ideas please on why the default File Manager only has the single Cloud storage?
There's not even a settings or anything in File Manager!
I wouldn't use it but it's the only one available with write permissions to the MicroSD Card.

Maybe you have to delete the one you've already got before you can put a different one on but yeah, it would be good if one of the members could help you better here beards.

Thanks for at least posting your views Paul.
So many views yet only 2 bothered to post.
I would like to add other cloud services too, other than the default 'box' and 'dropbox' in the cloud storage settings of LG G3. Any help on this issue will be appreciated. (running rooted stock lollipop for d855)

that is because a minimum amount of storage should be free for the system to run smoothly (i.e store cache files as well )
hit thanks if it helped you!!!!
