Hi, Guy
I just found that my SD internal storage get very small every day, I did not install lots of thing, but now it is only 1.5G.
So you need to check yours as well on your computer to see is it happen to you. It is very serious problem which will cause SD care data lost in the end.
This is how you can check.
1 Connect your One X USB to PC. Use USB storage mode.
2 In file manager click on your X'sd card name and mouse right click choose properties, it show how much data used and how much left. Write done the number.
3 Click you SD card icon and pop up another screen show all folders and data in SD card, use Ctrl+A to select them all, then mouse right click and choose properties to show the calculation for how much all those files storage.
The used space for step 2 and step 3 shall be almost same if it is correct. But on my One x it has 13G difference. Which means the 13G storage is nowhere on the SD card but system think they are. So you will loose those space.
Do your check and see how many of you has this problem.
I must admit I felt that my storeage was showing a considerable amount less than what I was expecting the other day...
I'll have to plug in my phone to cross reference the figures there agains't what the handset is saying...
Then again I did pump my HOX full of Vids, Movies and .CBZ files.
I had the same problem with the One X ported rom on Sensation, I kept loosing GB of memory for no reasons...till I found the bug: gallery cache!
There is a folder for the Gallery app that keep adding cache and eat huge amount of memory, just delete this folder and disable caching in gallery

how did u disable cache?
I'd also like a bit more info about the gallery cache folder please.
My phone memory is definitely lower than it should be. I was going to format it, but if this folder is causing the problem... maybe i won't need to.
It's in the camera folder aka DCIM
The cache folder must be there if I remember well.
Guys.....
Just delete the LOST.DIR.
There are thousands of threads about this.

sorry no folder of such. And it is not folder issue I guess. This issue is now reported world wide in other place as well. It just break out. And it is not 1.29 issue I'm still on 1.28 rom. it is related to USB connection and also install program in SD card. I hope XDA dev can look into it seriously!

Foramtting will not helpful. I know some guys format several times and it still eat your SD card. It is the phone problem with ROM. HTC need fix it.
As I said it was an early port of the One X port, did you try the thumbnail folder in DCIM?

Thanks to let me know. So if you use PC USB connection to check as I posted for step 2, 3, how much difference of those figures?
Deleted LOST.DIR and gained 0!
Adding all stuff up on the sd card i have about 15-16 gig. I have just over 5 gig left!
Yesterday i deleted Dungeon Defenders (800ish meg) I had nearly 6 gig... where did the other 1gig go overnight?!
You will have to ''seek and destroy'' the bad folder.
I hope you don't have many folders in your main SD directory,select 2-3 folders and right click to see if you get huge amount of memory used,then narrow the search till eliminating the bad boys

solution:
just make a back up of your phone storage. simply to open phone storage in your pc, select and copy you all folders of phone storage and paste in any folder of pc, then do quick fomat your phone storage called (htc storage), then take back all your folders to htc storage by paste command.

This isnt a solution. It works initially but the storage space starts to vanish again after a few days. Ive doe this twice now. It must be a bug that needs sorting out asap. This is my only issue on my phone though. No screen flickering problems fortunately

Thanks, I know this solution that is to get back the lost space. And I just did it since I have only 1G left so can not take the risk for any more lost space. Now I get 15G free.
But it is just temporary solution, after few days it probably loose more space again but now I will keep monitor of it.
HTC need to fix this problem.
I hope you understand my problem. I've also searched, but didn't find anything similar. To start with, this phone (E975) has no expandable memory. but it still had internal and external storage, which I saw while surfing with a file explorer. Now, after flashing a new rom. From Paranoid (4.3) to liquid (4.3), I found that some very important files and folders have gone missing, though no storage had freed up. So when I look at my SD CARD storage analyser, it says that I have 10GB of free memory available, but only 6GB is used of total 25GB (total ofcourse 32GB, which is taken by the system), so I should have approximately 19GB of free memory.
I'm quessing, the files from external are missing, but they are nowhere to be found. Ticked hidden files in ES Explorer, though still no sight. Not to mention recovery, didn't find them there also.
This has happened before, when I flashed a rom coming from 4.1.2 to a CM. Then I also noticed my files missing. That time I was able to restore my nandroid backup. This time all my many nandroid backups had gone missing. I wasn't able to restore.
Guys, i'm lost. If any part of my explanation is not understandable due to English not being my first language, give me a chance at rephrasing.
Regards.
your previous stored files are there in /data/media folder..chk it!!
why the phone uses 2 (or more?) locations for the exact same thing? i have the exact same files in both locations (i am stock) and whenever i make a change to one location the change is happening to the other also! i just ask cause its kinda strange :S

Dear Sir,
I am Md. Mahbub Hossain from Dhaka, BANGLADESH.
On last 28th March, 2014, I was in China, I bought a LG-F180L KOREAN (E975 as European) Mobile Phone. It was running well.
While I was my Hotel, I logon to Hotel's WiFi and in my Phone I got Update (OS). After I Update, in my Mobile phone "Scanning Media Files" running all the time. I can not access Camera, I can not Access any other programs as it says "you have no free space". It shows my Storage 0.00MB. But when I go to APPs, it shows 25GB Free. But except this, every where it says or shows that no free space. I can not use my Phone from that time.
I rebooted so many times, I Factory Rest so many times, I have done the Hard Rest so many times, but nothing happens.
Yesterday I changed the OS with Singapore .kdz (now my phone shows Model E975, in stead of F180L), but still the problem remains. Then I Upgrade by LG Tools and it returned me to "LG-F180L" with "Android Version : 4.1.2" , Baseband Version : APQ8064/MDM9x15M , Kernel Version : 3.4.0 , Build Number : JZO54K , Software Version : F180L20t . But still I m facing the same problem "Scanning Media Files", and no access to Camera, and so many other programs. As it still shows 0.0MB Storage, but in "Apps" it shows 25GB free. When I connect with PC, it shows the Internal Storage is 0.00KB. No access to internal storage.
Will you help me...... PLEASE......

I guess it happened when you tried update ur system from ur phone. No need update Korean type like this cause, it will update from type 975. For you situation has solution. You have to download .kdz firmware Baltics version it`s (LG975 Baltics H ) or CIS A. Both of them will return your storage back. but before upgrade u should save ur original modem and after uprade need restore. Then u can use ur phone without any problem )
Thank you so much....

Hi everyone, I'm back to the W10M scene now that I got a new battery for my Lumia 625 and I would like to ask if anyone knows where unfinished update data goes in the system memory so I can delete it?
I have my 625 rooted with WPIntenals and the updates failed (multiple times) but the system now still takes up almost 6GB and I would like to free up some of that space as I have only a 8GB internal memory, I already checked the usual update download folders in Data and can't find anything nor can I find any spkg files by searching so I think there might be some sort of other files that take up that space because I am pretty sure it only took up about 2-3GB before. So does anyone know what files I'm looking for and where they are?
Does no one know?
Now I have only 200MB free on my system and it's only cause of the update that keeps failing, I didn't install anything new in weeks and I anyway have it set to install to SD card. If this keeps up I will be left without any space free on the system.

That folder is empty unfortunately but it also does seem like it stopped eating up any more space even though I got lots of "Couldn't download updates" messages so I'll just leave it as this with those 200MB free.
Ok... phone\data\shareddata\dushared\packages
or phone\windows\servicing\packages do not erase nothing from this folder. After hardreset ...bum, blue sad face..
Data\ProgramData\SoftwareDistribution
It's safe to delete the entire folder (i did twice), but it won't stop the updates from failing.

This did free up 2GB data, thanks a bunch.
And yes, unfortunately there seems to be no way to stop the updates, none of the registry keys that would work on Windows seem to work on W10M. (except not connecting to wi-fi and setting your data connection to metered that is)

There seems to be a way to actually prevent windows update from doing it's job, I have removed all the update data and then modified the hosts file redirecting all the links I could find listed online (and with fiddler) to be related to windows updates to 127.0.0.1 and now the update just sits on 0%, it's been a couple of hours already so I am pretty positive that it won't start the download, perhaps if this was done on a clean install (before the phone even noticed there is an update on the server) it would just never detect an update again.
Hello everyone.
I have been having a number of issues with my HTC One M8. I am on android 6.0 marshmallow. I started getting a lot of error notifications a while back, " Unfortunately, Sense Home/Google play services/Framework etc has stopped". If I close the notification another one just pops up. I later learnt of a temporary solution of clearing app caches etc. This almost never happened when I was using Lollipop. However the problem that has brought me here is that of storage.
My internal storage has be shrinking ever since I updated my phone from Lollipop to Marshmallow. Please see attached screenshots. Its becoming annoying not having space to save or install more apps. As can be seen from the attachments, "System" has now occupied over 10.07 GB of my 16GB internal storage. Something is not right there, it should be around 6GB.
I wish to solve this issue. How do I flash my phone with a stock ROM while wiping the internal storage so I can get rid of whatever is taking space in there. If possible, it would also be great if I can downgrade back to Lollipop. But that's not the priority.
I have not rooted my phone, bootloader still intact, I still have S-ON. My CID is HTC__203 (FRA). In case I need a specific link to a certain ROM. Many thanks, let me know.
Can you try to delete some files, or move them to your sdcard / computer or some place else?

I can but I am more worried about the hefty 10 GB occupied by "system". It increases with use.

Can you try rooting your m8?
The info given in Settings, or with a CID getter can be deceptive (and even incorrect).
What does it say for OS number on the bootloader screen?
If you know how, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
