I had a question regarding the Miscellaneous section in Storage. I am running the latest 5.0.2 firmware and I noticed that the Miscellaneous section is close to 2 GB in size and the App folder is about 4 GB. If I click on the Miscellaneous section, it shows folders but they do not come close to taking up 2GB. Is this normal? Does everyone else also have this? I have a Galaxy Nexus and the folders sizes seem to match the total that is shown.

Systems - Storage says I have used 12 gigs... but I have not used even close to that much. Anyone know how to get storage count fixed?

You could download some file management apk to see what folder is holding more space. I use file manager for that it have an option of "Storage Analysis" and I have found a lot of files that I was not using that got me almost 1G. That's the best thing I can think of.
Hi again everyone, I want to thank all of you great and talented people who have helped me and made suggestions as to make my Note 2 a much better device. I have a problem and I need some help. I have the Note 2 on T-Mobile, and I rooted it,
How do swap my internal memory to become external memory and vice versa.? I have a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 (USA version) I live in the New York City area.
I have about 1.36 GB left of device memory. When I download a game, or a large app, it automatically goes my device memory. Problem #1: Is there any way I can tell my Note 2, or set up my Note 2 so that whenever I download a game or an app, to go automatically instead to my micro external SD 64 GB card (I have the Sandisk Class 10 card). So I have two problems one is transfer some of my 8.97 GB presently on the card, and in the future make every app or game I get to automatically to San Disk Card. when I go "My Files" on my Note 2, it lists two storage areas: the Sdcard0 and extSdCard. Also, when I plug in my Note on my computer it only shows the following: Card: 36.9 GB free of 59.4 and phone 1.25 GB free of 10.8 GB. Can anyone please help, please thanks? Thanks.

Your internal memory has a read / write speed of 25/30 mbps..... much faster than your external ( class 10 is 10-15 ish ). Why would you want to swap? Apps running from internal memory will load much much faster.
What I would do is move all of your music / camera photos / movies / etc to your external. Then change the default camera location to external, along with your browsers download folder location. Thats what I do. I have hundreds of apps installed and still have over 6gb free internal space.
Also, swapping it means you cant unmount it ever..... or swap cards around while the system is using it. You will get FC out the wazoo from apps running in the background looking for the card.
For large 1gb plus apps, there is an apps to sd program you can use. Fixes all those nasty storage issues.

Actually, I've been running like this since the first month on a "ultra 1" class sd and it performs beautifully without ANY FCs and I haven't been able to see any performance differences. That way I don't have to do any of the dancing around the storage issues that are suggested above and elsewhere.
It seems as though something is slowly stealing internal storage space. I can't seem to find where it's going. I store pics on ext sd. Any ideas?

how many 0 folders do you have. also are you rooted. try a root explorer. take a look around the internal see sizes of files.
Rooted and only 1 zero folder. I've been checking folder sizes but nothing I jumping out @ me yet

In device/data down a little ways is "RS_.xxx log" and there are a ton of them with same date? small files individually though, but they're dated from a year ago.

back them up to pc then delete them see if it helps. i switch rom so much i never have your issue. if your looking for a good app for using extsd for storage like old android system. check out folder mount in market. was so good i bought it. i use it to bind my gps maps 1.5gb on extsd and app thinks its on internal. so frees up space for me. like 5gb worth with games and nav stuff.
I did a little digging n found dcim file had 2 ? Files. Both had duplicate pics totalling 790 megs each. I deleted both and it showed me NO gains in my internal storage

Hey guys I just recently did a factory reset on my n4. Just because of my storage was being built up and couldn't find the cause. Before the reset my miscellaneous was 10gb. Now after its still setting at almost 9gb. I look through the folders but there's nothing there that gets even close to a gig. It's all mb and kb sized files. And all added toget her still don't make one gig. can someone explain why this is such? I didn't think it could be the rom taking this much space could it? Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Possible answer as I'm no expert: if you switched to Art Runtime which the Note 4 is not optimized for, you may have lost some storage space.
Note 4
No I'm still on dilvik. Been afraid to test with reading the issues kitkat has with art. But if memory serves me I thought I started with 28gigs when I first opened and booted my n4 brand new. But can't remember for sure. Just figured I'd ask on here to see if anyone knew. Thank you for the reply
28 GBs seems awfully high. I believe that after stock ROM plus bloat you should have around 24 or 25 GBs of free space. Maybe some one else will chime in. I'm sure you'll figure out where the space is going.
Note 4
Do you have anything stored under private mode, If I am correct those files and space go missing unless its unlocked. Of course then there is the fact you factory reset.

In my application manager it is showing that Final Fantasy 6 is taking up 33.93MB of storage when I know the applications size is 635MB. I'm just using that as a specific example but it is happening for most if not all of my apps. What gives? I cannot find any info using google. Currently running BOG5
