Whenever a new ota update is done, some of the pre-installed disabled apps' size reduce significantly. Is there any manual way to that? If possible then please help me. I am running out of storage and I don't want to use my sd card as internal memory.

I keep getting low disk space and I checked my installed apps and it's almost 100mb lower than what the total says it is. I've got link2SD and I've put everything I can on my SD card. What is the problem?
Or something else is screwed up, I just uninstalled Facebook's messaging app and tried to update the Facebook app and it still says insufficient storage space.
in link2sd storage menu you see your internal storage and your system storage both. if your system storage is full try removing unwanted apps or bloatware you will get up more free space .
before doing any removing please back up your rom first :good:
Hello everyone!
I'm trying to install some games/apps on my phone but it says "low memory", the fact is that my phone has 800mb+ of free internal memory, and 7gb+ on SD.
Rooted phone, 4.3 JellyBean.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Low memory?
You means RAM?
Then close all applications & try
otherwise
You may had tried some large games like Asphalt.
(Apps which requires more than your available memory)
Please remember - SXM will not install apps to external memory card
So, lollipop finally came to our device, bringing some improvements with it, but there is one big downside : I end up having to remove my apps in order to update the system apps.
What I was wondering is, is there a way to use the whole internal sd for system and apps, and trick the system to use external sd for everything else.
This would live enough space for apps and further updates.
If someone has an idea, can he share his view upon the subject ?
This is my first phone with more than 8GB internal storage, so the 32GB feels like a giant space with so much room for activities. However, I'm getting greedy and want even more games installed.
I have a 64GB SD card installed, with around 12GB free. I've gone into Settings > Apps and on the Downloaded tab I select a large game, X-Com for example. It says:
Total: 2.94 GB
App: 53.22 MB
App (SD Card): 2.89 GB
Data: 212 KB
Data (SD Card): 0.00 B
So for some reason it already thinks it's on the SD Card, even though it's on the internal memory. It even gives me an option to Move to SD. I tap that, it says it's moving it, and to not remove the SD card. The numbers change slightly as to what is stored where. But when I go into the app DiskUsage, it still shows the huge data files sitting on the internal memory.
I'm assuming that the phone/OS sees the internal memory as an SD card perhaps? So when it says move to SD it's still just moving it to the same location, or perhaps a different location on the internal memory?
So like I said, I'm getting greedy, I can of course just delete some games when I want to install different ones, but this seems like an odd issue. I'm wondering if there's a quick and easy way around it. I know I can root and use something like FolderMount, but I'd rather stay unrooted for now.
Thanks!
Generally, I think that internal memory is regarded now as an SD card. Though I don't think that makes much sense. And your example of "move to SD" just shifting it in internal memory sounds like false advertising on the part of Google. But I can assure you that this is an OS (Android) issue, not a phone (LG) issue, unless someone knows otherwise. But what you want to look for is "External SD" not just SD (as that's internal memory. Since you mentioned "Move to SD," I'm guessing you're using the stock resources in settings. Unfortunately, Google removed the ability for 3rd party apps to write to external SD. And there has been major blowback from Android users, but Google isn't budging. This has been since Kit Kat was released (version 4.4 and on, Lollipop is 5.0 and on). I would recommend looking with the File Manager app since it's stock so it can read and write to External SD, in case you want to manually move anything, but I wouldn't recommend that with any apps since the system won't know that it was moved. Also use the File Manager app to familiarize yourself with the file system. If you select all files, it should show internal memory and External SD, unless that changed with Lolly. But I forgot to ask, have you checked to make sure your External SD card is mounted? You can see in disk usage, I think. Sorry if that was a lit.

hi guys,
please help me out.. i have no games installed on my device. only required few apps out of which most of them are moved to sd card. all my music/photos is on sd card. yet the internal storage space fills up very quicly and even i cant update my existing apps. an error crops up - not sufficient storage left.
I have to reformat my phone again and again to get storage space reclaimed.
I've been using Clean Master to free up space whenever I update anything.
Side note: looks like Titanium Backup can remove system apps now. Failed in the past, but I just uninstalled Bubbles.
Now if only I knew what was safe to remove and what wasn't.
If an app can be disabled normally, can one assume it's safe to uninstall?

Integrating system app updates doesn't work. Tried to integrate YouTube, and now it's completely gone. Crap

Root the device and uninstall all bloatware from system. also, with some effort, you can install Link2SD and move most apps and data to SD-card after Root.
