Hi all, was just wondering if my System Storage was abnormally large at 8GB, or if that's about normal for other 10 users? I tried a reset and restore and it seems about the same, but wanted to be sure. Thanks

You should have 23GB of the internal storage available after hard reset...

After reinstalling a new rom, and installing all the apps I used, I have 18GB left on mine. Of course there is also probably things on the internal storage that are taking up space in my case, which I should probably move over to the external SD.

check for folders called Lost.Dir
If present, just delete them.
if not, then Perform a factory reset, sometimes a phone/Card 'Leaks' Memory, I don't have the Knowledge to explain it to you, but it was a recurring problem on my Satio a few years ago.

i've delete Lost.Dir but the problem still exist
seems that factory reset is needed
thanks for your help!
This happened to mine too. I already transfered sd contents to pc and reformatted the sd partition and transferred back to sd card and i gained 3gb from 5gb free to 8gb which was great but woke this morning to have lost another 1gb overnight. I thought i had solved it but obviously not. Hope this gets sorted soon.

Yes, thats a strange SD behavior, but this happens very often here with HOX.
The only working way yet, is to backup your SD onto PC, then format your HOX SD from PC.
Reboot and if the phone does not recognize the SD then format it over phone directly.
After that put your backup back.
You should be fine then.
Good luck!
The problem is that after files deletion their space goes to the bad sectors - just run chkdsk to see this. Seems problem with internal SD driver or something like this
I just installed CyanogenMod 10.1, but I noticed it takes about 6gb of space, I have the 16GB Note 2 version, which is actually more like 11GB, with stock rom it was about 4gb. Is this normal?
Don't you have content on the internal storage?

Nope, all my music/photos are on the SD card. That's why it seems weird to me that after wiping everything and doing a fresh install, I have 6 out of 11gb used

Hello guys,
This might seem like an idiot question but I totally confused here
My internal note 2 memory says 3.19GB free of 10.4GB. I am trying to clean my space so I plugged the note 2 to my pc on WIndows 8.1.
I selected all the files and folders in the memory and checked their size which summed up to only 3.24GB! I am really trying to find out whats taking so much space. Should I connect my Note II to Linux and check or how do I find out the total contents of thiis internal memory??
Please help me!
Thanks
It should be caused by using warez??
A lot of apps do a mess. I recomend wipe internal storage

Hello,
Thanks about your quick reply! :highfive:
Well it may be but not in my case as almost all apps I use are either free or purchased properly.

As about this,
This is exactly what I would be keeping as my last option. Essentially wiping internal memory is almost equal to factory reset, something I don't want to do unless I don't have any other choice..
Any way of of checking whats taking the memory without formatting would be great
Thanks

In Titanium Backup app you find the exact memory stats devided in system and internal. To optimize internal mem push as many apps to ext sd as you can.
Besides: From Windows/PC you normally can't see hidden or system files.
For further information (eg more space in system) feel free to ask.

Hello,
Thanks for your insight. I am aware of the Windows dilemma hence was trying to get through using Linux but I could not :crying:
However I am already using the Titanium Backup app.. I have pushed almost all possible apps to external memory however I came across a problem where the majority data and memory are still being taken up on the internal memory by that app. Clearing Google Camera, Chaton and Camera Awesome's data, I almost got a GB in internal memory!
Speaking of this I have run into a very weird problem. :silly:
after rooting, I force transferred many apps to external memory. Since this Every time I restart my Note II its forgets my default launcher
Any idea what screwed this up?
Regards

You can't move or force all apps to ext sd, especially system or system related apps, so I recommend to reinstall your rom and try to move step by step, so you can revert back by only changing one app back to int. I remember an app which forces apps to ext and also with that app it is recommended to change quite a descent amount of apps.

Are you sure? Even in folder priv-app you find system apps and some are not clearly assignable.

Your problem can be related to apps that uses root access - this type of apps leaves a lot of trash even after uninstalling, so I recommend you to use only those apps, that are really needed.
Mine phone memory got piled up like yours...Titanium Backup helped me. Pushed lots of app to ext SD....
Hi all,
I've just rooted and changed the rom of my HOX and to be honest it's amazing how fast it is and the battery seems to last a little bit longer.
Anyway, I am not writing a new thread for that of course. After trying to install several Apps, I've figured out that my internal memory is almost full even if I only have 706mo of apps. I've moved everything I can from the internal memory to the "sd card" and still, it only remains me 1.28gb of free space.
Do you know what's this "Other" folder which is taking me 4.79Gb of space?
Do you know if I can delete some stuffs?
Thanks,
Alex
Hey
Hi,
It shows others which includes space for system partition and kernel and all the system which is stored on your nand memory.
You only get around 2gb for applications
If I helped you hit that thanks button
Thanks for your answer but I know that. I would like to know if I can get clean the space used by the system and the kernel in order to get more free space?

no you can't. If you want more space for apps migrate to the new layout

And will be good to learn the search function for your next question all your question is answared on many places just search it:silly:

it's a fictional space that will make you believe you really have 32GB...
its just a dirty trick by htc.
in reality you have 29gb where 2 is the data 25 is the "sd card" and the rest is system.
Hello i have htc 820 dual and it is supposed to have 16gb internal memory. And i figured out that 9.12gb only is usable and the rest is for the system. My problem is that my internal memory is full and i figured out using sd maid that my files occupy only 1GB of that space.
So, my question is what is hogging the rest of my phone memory? does anyone know about it please? Can that be a bug that have anything to do with the recent lollipop update? thanks in advance waiting for your reply people.
