OK, I got my Sprint TP2 yesterday and was playing around with it. I installed my SD card that had some files on it and when I tapped on one document file by mistake it "unzipped" it to the internal storage completely filling it.
I've looked all over but cannot seem to locate the internal storage memeory on the phone.
HELP!
Thanks in Advance.
OK, never mind. But.....
OK, after I opened it back up today I started looking at it like my old PDA and found the file and deleted it.
But..
I'd like to free up more internal memory as it shows I only have 158MB free. And only 59MB free for program memory. I'll be getting a 16GB card soon to replace my 2GB I have but I'd like to have more internal memory.
What programs/files can I delete safely from my Sprint TP2 to free up more space?

158MB of "Storage" memory is actually quite a bit -- it's 60% open/empty. Considering that a lot of applications are less than a 1 MB, and a huge one is 5MB -- you still have room to install dozens directly to the device. To minimize use of Storage, install as many apps as possible to your card. And, wherever possible, configure settings on apps to store their data to the card...and set the camera to save to the card, etc. Even a 2GB card is a lot of space -- unless you're carrying full-length, high-quality movies.
Program memory gets filled up by stuff that's currently running, so deleting installed programs won't free up more of that -- unless these programs run automatically/all-the-time.

Yeah, if you have 158MB storage free on the phone right now, be sure to take a screenshot if it so you can look back later and remember "back when" you had still had that much free space
MCBrian is right, moving stuff to your memory card is the best way to free up space on the phone's memory and keep it from filling up unneccesarily. Like he said, first change the camera settings to always save to the card, otherwise that will always eat into your available on-board storage, and quickly. I would also suggest going into the current album of pics on the phone, deleting anything you don't want to save, and move whatever you do want to save into a "pics" folder on your card (HTC's photo album can include pics saved there as well). Same for music...store any and all of it on the card, not the phone's memory. The one caveat with that is that the HTC music player (the music tab in touchflo) doesn't always find music on the card, not for me anyway, but I never liked that player anyway.
Managing my memory that way has given me enough space that even with dozens of programs on the phone, all of them installed to the phone's memory, I still have 95MB free space for programs on there. In fact, I still have a fair amount of junk (stuff I tried but don't use, etc) in there that I need to go clear out. Installing some of your programs to the memory card can help too, but if you're careful you can keep enough storage memory on there available to be able to avoid ever needing to do that (and the hassle that comes with trying to figure out which programs are ok with being installed on the card, as well as managing/maintaining separate install locations).
If you're going to start using file explorer to dig around in your directories, I highly recommend you first install File Explorer Extension. It simply adds a lot of the stock destop file explorer functionality that's missing in the mobile version ("open with>" in the context menu, for example!)...makes a HUGE difference in ease of use when digging through your file structure. I attachted it below, "fexploreext v2.05.CAB"
For keeping your RAM ("running" memory) from growing too fast, I also suggest running the other 2 cabs I have attached below (SSK TP2 Dynamic Resource Proxy.cab and nopushinternet.cab), they make a big difference in the active memory management on the TP2, you'll probably see a noticable difference right after soft-reset.
Thanks for those CABs. I'm pretty good at managing the storage on things like this, I just couldn' find the files/folder on the newer phone using the options available in WinMo6+. I've been using an Axim for years runnign WinMo5 and earlier versions. Storage cards are pretty easy for me as I'm use to running stuff between the Main/CF/SD cards that I had on the Axim. I just have alot to learn about the newer 6.1 OS. Probably, by the time I get used to 6.1, Sprint will come out with 6.5(6,7,whatever) and I'll get to relearn everything all over again.
If there are any other programs you'd recommend to help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.

Well the file structure is obviously still pretty much the same windows-standard, just some locations moved around. The bad news is that none of the programs installed by default in the stock rom are removable through the normal remove programs dialog, or any 3rd-party app I've seen. However you can just go perform the same steps manually by deleting any folders matching the program/publisher's name in these locations:
<root>/program files
<root>/application data
<root>/windows/start menu
...and then searching in the registry to delete any keys in there for the program as well. You'll need a registry editor to do that, I've attached my favorite free one, PHM Regedit...just search your registry by the name of the program you're removing. If you're not familiar with messing around in the registry, there's guides available here, let me know if you need me to point you in that direction. And, as always, be SURE to make a backup copy of your registry (PHM can handle that for you) before making any changes.
Here's a couple of other utilites I've found useful:
Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3.cab -Gives you acccess to all sorts of advanced UI and system configuration options, a favorite and often-referenced tool here at xda.
Extra Camera Modes.cab -unlocks some capture modes that the TP2 camera is capable of, but aren't enabled from the factory on US models. New modes include MMS video, Burst, Sport, and geotagged images
SDK certs.cab -windows authentification certifcates necessary for installing many hacks/apps/cabs/etc that are available here
DivXPlayer_PPC.cab -a lean, mean .avi player from the people who came up with DivX (the codec standard, not the movie rental crap lol). I rip my DVD's at home to ~700MB DivX files, save them on my memory card, and use this app to play them...it gives far better performance and quality than any of the other players I've tried.
Very Much appreciated.
Now, I seem to have another probelm and I don't know if it's my unfamiliarirty with the newer Sync Center or am I just doing something wrong, or if it's an issue with the programs I've got.
I'm new to both Win7 and WinMo6+(and touch flo, etc). Up to now I had XP(w/ ActiveSync) and my WinMo5 Axim.
I can't seem to get my programs installed onto my TP2. I use a prgram for work called Tarascon. It's a medical reference program. I tried to install it yesterday and I never got the repsonse on the TP2 to request permission to install it. Today, I tried to install SOTI's Pocket Controller and this time I did get the request and I installed it to the device but I can't find it anywhere on it. It didn't install an Icon on the device and I've looked through every place I could think and can't even find an installation file for it. I didn't get an install error or failure notice and my memory size dcreased 2MB so something happened.
Glad to help
Since I don't really know anything about the medical reference software you're using, my first suggestion would be to check with the publisher and make sure that the version you have is compatible with Win7 and WM6.x...often software that worked on WM5 won't work just right on 6.
As for SOTI Pocket Controller, the latest version available on the site should be compatible with your setup. When you install it, are you doing that by running a .exe file on your PC and then letting Mobile Device Center (the new generation of ActiveSync) handle the install from there? It might be advisable to just moving the .cab file for the program straight to your phone (device memory or storage card is fine), and run it from there to install...bypasses the MDC, and ends up doing the same thing in the long run. In fact, it might be worth trying the same thing (running the .cab straight from your phone) with the medial software you've got.
It might just be that I'm using Ver4 and it doesn't want to run right with the newer install setup(MDC).
It worked fine when I installed it on my Axim(WinMo5) and using WinXP(ActiveSync).
Another odd thing, every time I plug in my TP2 and MDC starts to Sync, I get the request from Win7 for the Tarascon program to initialize. So that tells me something, somewhere set a pointer to my TP2 to update the program. I think.
I posted this a variant of this in the general Android app forum, but the experiments there suggest that the problem may be Archos-specific.
I noticed that after resetting Android on my A43 a couple of times, there were a number of orphan applications in the external storage area. You move an app to /storage on Android 2.2 or higher. Then you reset Android, and you reinstall your apps. Well, it turns out that the app in the storage area can stay there, and a new copy is installed beside it. So, now, you have two 21mb encrypted apk files for Angry Birds sitting there, taking up room on /storage, and you never notice because they're in the hidden secure area on the card. There
I don't know how common this problem is. But I intend to find out. To that end, I made an app that searches that area and, if you allow it, cleans it up. It needs a rooted 2.2 or higher device.
You can download it and run it. But I ask one thing. If you do download it and run it, let me know (a) what device you're using with which OS version, and (b) how much total orphan space it reported being taken up (if it's zero, let me know that, too). You can send me this information by email to [email protected] or just post in this thread. Oh, and bug reports, too, of course.
And one suggestion. If you run this after a reboot, wait for all the icons to show up in the launcher. (The important thing is not to run it before the SD-based app areas get mounted, or CleanApp will think there are more orphans than there are.)
Here it is.
Thanks for posting - seems like you've been busy recently!
Worked fine on my A101 - saved me .... 23.3kb!!
FWIW: Tried it on my Desire too .. runs fine, but no orphan files found.
I am not sure where the deal is here, nor do I know what would be proper search values to mull through XDA. But why is it when I look to see what my phone storage is at, it first shows the picture where the memory says loading, but in the bar there seems to be about 2/3rds of the memory used up. Then once the data has loaded, the memory storage goes down quite a bit, but down at the bottom, it says available storage to only be like 3 GB?

Mine does this as well. The amount of space used by the different categories listed + the free space isn't any way near the capacity of the internal storage (13.33GB). For some reason the 'misc' category is gone once calculating the space used by the categories has finished (you can see the misc category while it's calculating). I prefer to use an app for more accurate readings: Storage Analyser
Is it possible to increase the internal storage of the AFTV?
I'm running Kodi on mine and it only has 750MB left
I love this little device but the internal storage really sucks!
Hook up an external drive and move stuff there, including the kodi thumbnails. Look up <pathsubstitution> in the advancedsettings.xml.
Root or no root ? If root grab some ssd drive convert to usb, swap internal with external, if no root use move to usb function to free some storage it will only move some (you can move kodi cache i think,ssd would be best for it)

Won't that slow things down by a lot since it only has USB 2.0?

I am rooted but would SSD (vs HDD) make any difference since it's only USB 2.0?
Use texturecache.py (google it) once in a while to prune (P) the thumbnails cache in Kodi (it will delete unneeded ones).
Again, this is the correct answer for probably most of you out there. It works with both the Fire TV and the FIre TV Stick. It doesnt rely on you buying extra hardware (apart from the one you used to set up Kodi on the Fire TV).
Sure, you can wait until the next "Toolkit" includes its version of it, but why?
If it is not Kodi that fills your diskspace - learn how to manage disk space. Uninstall some apps you've installed. If you have messed around with Kodis advanced settings xml and because of you not knowing what you are doing, now are caching whole movies on your device - stop doing that.

I understand what you are trying to say, but the storage on the FireTV is insanely limited. Even without Kodi installed at all, it is easy to fill the paltry 5GB with just a few games and a photo stream.
Would you mind?
48MB/s which is well below the read/write speed of traditional harddisks. You will have no performance benefit from attaching a SSD to a USB 2.0 port.

edit: Mistook you for the thread starter. Yes - might be the case. Then again, it is not necessary to buy a HDD to use Kodi over the entire lifetime of the device. Also - some people arent rooted.

480mbps is what the USB 2.0 standard says but does anyone get close to that in real life?
So you haven't noticed thumbnails and background art loading slower? It seems like it should load slower because internal storage is supposed to be a lot faster than USB 2.0

You don't need to be rooted to mount external storage. Which is why the easiest advice to the OP is to get a 10 dollar usb thumb drive and at least triple their storage immediately.

Possibly a slight delay over the native flash, but nothing that bothers me in the least.

The additional harddrive can only be used as an external storage device - so nothing can be installed on it that depends on android logic - what was new for me is that Kodi is able to relocate its cache directory on Android (and therefore doesnt need root). edit: False - apps can be moved to the external storage - with the usual shortcoming of Androids "move to sd". I stand corrected.

Also - you dont need an additional harddrive to hold Kodis thumbnail cache (if you delete unneeded items once in a while using the suggested method). Never. in no use case - so the answer always will depend upon the thread starters actual motive. Sadly he hasnt specified it in any way.
Regarding the 48MB/s issue - real world benchmarks. You wont benefit from an SSD on USB 2.0.

http://kodi.wiki/view/Artwork/Cache
XBMC maintains a local texture cache for thumbs and fanart, to allow fast loading of these images so that skins can show off your media in the best way possible.
All textures that Kodi loads, with the exception of textures that are provided directly by the skin, are cached to the userdata/Thumbnails folder.

Are you also using a USB hub? I have an Amazon 10 port USB 2.0 hub. I'm afraid it might
1) be even slower
2) reassign "drive letters" at random
I've seen it do this in the past when I unplugged the hub and plugged it back in, even though all of the drives attached to the hub were not removed.
@Neo3D: And the likelihood of them ever amounting to something over 500 MB an still be "primarily useful" is non existent. Depending on the use case - I dont know If you have 500 TB of movies on your NAS which you are all trying to access in rotation and then are also very sensitive to Kodi reloading their artwork from the net, because you have not put them as files on your local storage which Kodi supports as well.
My answer is still the right one. If you use texturecache.py once in a while, the script will go into Kodis db files and delete old unused thumbnails - including their database entry (so when you should access one of those files again, it will be redownloaded from the net).
You dont need to buy extra storage to use Kodi to its fullest extend. For years. Even on a FIreTV Stick - which doesnt support external storage.
Also - please dont punish me for again assuming that you might have googled the question before asking it in here - again, I dont see xda primarily as customer support for amazon. (Just reframing, why it was ok, for me not to have known, that Amazon managed to release a proper Android integration for external media, two months ago and immediately thought of ways that would need root to extend the storage.).

This is not true,
The maximum transfer rate is limited, yes, but random access time is still much faster compared to spindle drives.
Also depends a lot on what kind of flash drive you use. Especially the cheap ones tend to have really bad random write performance.
Was running Fedora on the FireTV with this Sandisk drive: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57820070&postcount=85 and even though it was just running at USB 2.0 speeds it was really fast.
Even minimal read speed in benchmarks for normal HDDs seldomly drops below 48 MB/s. If you dont test random reads.
If you want to bring random read/write into the occasion - then you better list comparative graphs -
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/usb-3.0-thumb-drive-review,3477-3.html
vs
http://www.tomshardware.de/charts/ssd-charts-2014/AS-SSD-4K-Random-Read,2784.html
(because there is that much variation)
but, yes - with random read/writes you have a point.

Just as a comparison in scope - I used texturecache.py on an old XBMC installation that run daily, for three years without clearing its cache - and it stripped out about 2 GB of thumbnails/artworks. With normal use - and cleaning the texture cache every 6 months or so you should never come close to those filesizes again. Also - Kodi at least doesnt seem to perform worse when it comes to thumbnail cache. When you use texturecache.py to clean it every 6 moths or so - you should be absolutely fine. I do it myself, it works - so Im speaking from experience. All profile data (including all plugins, their backups, all databases, and the cache) of my current Kodi installation on the fire TV comes to 260MB uncompressed (after using texturecache.py). I did a backup of those files just yesterday.
Also - when I lost the 2 GB worth of thousands and thousands thumbnails, my initial reaction was not "I wish I would have bought an external hard drive for them".
Also - there is still the possibility of you have modified an advanced setting that increases the video buffer and being oblivious to that. You shouldnt do that.
Simply put - if you are looking forward to install all those great Amazon Appstore Games on your FIre TV without having to reload them - by all means, buy an external storage device that you will attach to it 24/7. If you are just trying to maintain a Kodi installation , you probably wont need it.

This doesn't really help with the OP. This only helps with you trying to tell everyone that Kodi doesn't need more storage.
My Kodi install needs more storage. It's at >2.4GB.
I have 5 HDD's (10TB total ~2600 movies + lots of TV shows) connected to an Amazon 10port USB 2.0 hub and my library continues to grow.
Ok, now it comes to usecase.
Read my previous posting again - I've edited in some information.
Even with 10 TB of stored movies , it is questionable (edit - well actually it would come down to 12,5 GB a movie - which is possible) that you would come close to 2,4 GB of artwork and thumbnail cache. Calculate 3 mb for each movie and you can host 800 movies to reach 2,4 GB.
Depending on if this is the number of movies we are talking about - you might still want to look into using texturecache.py - it will only strip out the entries that arent active anymore (when used right).
Also - in your case - you could look at bundling the artwork with the movies themselves - and not storing it in the Kodi Databases - but since you are going into the granularities of Kodi at that point - you might as well buy an extra harddisk only for the FIre TV.
Foregive me that "I only have 5GB of diskspace on the fire TV" didnt immediatly trigger "of course - he has 1500 movies on Harddrives connected to a USB hub". Especially after the initial posting, mainly complaining how this was the Fire TVs fault..
My first impulse was "you are doing it wrong" - but perhaps, not.
Is harlekinrains really porkenhimer with paragraph breaks??
Gloat about the fact that the most unrealistic scneario actually became the one that we all should have gone for in the end - and to your using a SSD over USB 2.0 gentled advocacy - you went straight for from the very beginning.
Also lets not talk about people spending several hundereds of dollars on storage media and a fraction of that on the device to play back those files. Lets not even talk about backup, or the power cost to have them online all the time. Lets not talk about that this conversation started with "that lack of storage space on the Fire TV for artworks and thumbnails, how about that".
How about a nice game of denouncing nicknames instead?
Ok, here is my response - sure - I'm happily using four year old accounts to troll people like you. No you specifically. Because this is apparently what I do.
And between us - if there has been a character like me in here before, I can understand his level of desperation - when he/she left under said gloating. He probably wont be back.
Hello, I am using my M8s like 6 months and there are other folders and they are increasing .I don't know what are these folders and where they are. I can't install anything Is there a way to delete them or Just wait marshmallow update to move app data to SD Card.
Try the app "Disk Usage", its a great one that graphically and intuitively will show you what files are taking up the most space. If you don't know what they are, come back here and ask before deleting them.
Is the phone modified (root, custom recovery, etc.)? If so, sometimes folks leave their TWRP backups on the phone, which take up a huge amount of space (possibly 4GB or more for each backup) which can easily account for big storage usage in the "Other" category.
Other than that, what is taking up all the space depends a lot on how you use your phone.

That doesn't tell me much, that enables me to help you.
With the app, you can see what files are taking up the most space, are there large files or folders that don't look familiar to you? Maybe post a screenshot of the Disk Usage app. Although we might have to drill down to other folders to see their contents, so 1 screenshot alone might not be enough.
I can't just give you a blanket answer of how to clear up storage space, since it completely depends on how you use your phone. It can be videos or photos you took, stuff you downloaded, content for games (which take up lots of storage), OTA update files, or any number of other things.
