I tried to do wipe cache, wipe dalvik, didn't work.
But I didn't install nay new apps, the last app I installed was the windows 8 launcher , but I uninstalled it last saturday.
Are you saving larger files like pictures, video, games, etc. To your internal? Maybe time to go through and do some cleaning and change camera settings to save to external sd card...move stuff from internal to external and just be aware of where you download stuff
Disk Usage is a good app.

It will graphically show you what is using the storage space.
It helped me the other day when I realized some app had made 1.5 Gb of thumbnails on my internal storage.
The Android folder takes up a lot of room. Like the person above said download disk usage or android tuner/system tuner..http://bit.ly/10ccwQw
..Also if it is your sdcard/Android folder. try JB ExtSD App Binder. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021049

I will try this app
I found another app called: SD maid system cleaning tool.
It has good reviews but I am unsure how to use it.
Has anybody used this app?
I deleted some files last night I had around 600mb of free space, then this morning when I woke up. A warning message on the notification bar said storage system memory low. I went to the storage setting, the internal storage available space is zero!.
All my photos are saved in the external SD card, music are in the external SD card
Don't know what is happening, any ideas.
I will transfer the CWM backups into the external SD card, I will check if the problem still presists.

Copy all the files you want to your extsd. dcim,android,downloads ,Pictures nandroids ect or Make a copy of your whole sd to your pc.... reboot into TWRP and wipe internal sd (it wont wipe system btw)

I am using CWM.
I think I found what the use is, I upgrade to the new CWM 6.0.3.1, now it is making a backup size of greater than 1GB.
can anybody help me/give instructions on how to go back to the CWM version before the upgrade.
How do I go back to the last CWM version?
thank you in advance
Used to be open rom manager, scroll down to older version or something like that, click on it and select what version you want..
Ok

I've been reading a lot of good feedback with TWRP. I like to try it, how I get TWRP
What is the file size of your CWM backups?
Presently the file size of my CWM backup are more than >1GB, before it was just maybe less than 100mb.
I don't what was is causing this. Has I unknowingly chnage a setting?
This is probably the reason why I am running out of space.

I spent the last 6 hours searching and trying all kinds of method to get the internal memory to come up as Removable drive so i can perform a file recovery.
I am currently using the Cm11. M2 snapshot from 1/4/14. Before i installed this app, i decided to try Cyanogenmod installer from their website. The installer doesn't let me select or do anything, as soon as the app runs, it started downloading, wiping your phone and installing whatever rom it download. I ended up using recovery mod to flash the latest firmware but now, everything on the internal memory has been wiped.
I have tried using apps that would enable USB mass Storage but no luck, i was able to get the SDcard to mount and shows up as removable drive but not the internal memory.
Please help!
I recently updated my firmware to 4.16.401.10 and installed dragon ROM onto my m8. Since doing so I am unable to use any apps that try to access my internal storage, nor do I see any files in sdcard/0. It comes up with a message saying "cannot access the SD card". I'm not sure how to proceed here, any help would be appreciated.

hi,had the same problem and the fix that's been posted did'nt work for me,spent ages trying and various other fixes.only option was to format internal storage through twrp,but,you lose all content on your internal storage,i was unable to copy my internal to external sd card...
this only seemed to happen when flasing arhd 34,i've now switched to insert coin and have no problems,did read somwhere that twrp is at fault,so updated to the latest twrp,this made no difference when flasing arhd..
try insert coin..6.06
So With my phone I flashed CM12 and its telling me that theres insufficient storage now, so I figured that I would go back to Carbon ROM but it keeps telling me the same thing even though I havent downloaded anything. I look at the internal storage and it says that out of the 4gb I now only have 450mb free, I tried erasing the internal storage but only goes to 480mb. I went through here and found the thread for making the storage bigger with an sdcard but now it wont even let me download the Link2SD app or move apps to the sd card with CM12 because it keeps telling me insufficient storage. Any help on what I can do? Can I flash everything back to stock and root it all over again? What files can I delete from the system to free more storage?

i have the same problem
I flashed stock and factory reset the device through settings instead of recovery, seems to do the trick. Lol. Still cant get the link2sd thing to work though. It keeps telling me that there is no partition for the sd card. :/
hey guys,
i am on stock lollipop 5.1 but every time i try to download from play store. it pops up an error about insufficient storage, although i do around 250-300 mb free in internal and 1gb in my sd card.
please help
and thanks in advance :laugh:
Same Issue
I am facing the same issue. I have also tried a workaround. I have rooted my phone and now move most of the apps (except system ones) to the SD card. Still every time an app is updated it moves to the phone by itself and I have to move them over again. This is very annoying in case there are multiple apps requiring update and I cant update them all at once since after one of them updates, there is no more space. Is there any fix on this issue or maybe another workaround?? Any help is really appreciated. Thanks
I think the only solution is rooting the phone and making a partition in your SD card for apps, then all apps will install in that location without going to internal storage.
