My phone was showing storage full. When I checked in file manager it was showing "OTHERS 20GB" but no file that large in memory. I restored my phone and after two days it shows the same problem again. :crying:
Anyone here have any idea what is the root cause to this problem?

I was recording a meeting using notes, I do this a few times a week w/out problems.
I got a pop up message saying my storage card mem. was full, even though I had 2GB left on the storage card and 50MB left on the phone's internal mem.
The message told me to go to start>Tools>File Explore....and delete some things from my storage card, then go back to notes via Start>Tools>Notes... and the file would be automatically saved on the newly cleared space.
I did it, and the file was automatically saved on the storage card mem., with 2GB of free memory left.
However, now the phones internal memory say 0.09MB, when it originally had 50MB free.
I thought perhaps the original audio file might have been temporary saved on the internal mem., while I cleared mem. on the storage card, as the pop up message directed.
But, so fare I have found nothing new on the device or it's internal mem., nothing that could have taken up that 50MB. I double checked the audio files, and they are on the storage card, I even removed them from the storage card using my desktop, but still the phone thinks that that 50MB is in use...
Tried a few soft resets and cleartemp files program... nothing has changed.
Anyone know what's going on or experience something similar?
Any suggestions would be appreciated to help me avoid a hard reset.
Thanks
Hi, can someone help me? Here's what happened..
I have a rooted note 2014 and last night I was playing some gameloft games and realised that my internal space was almost full. So I did a research and found an app to send the "obb" data to the external card. The app was GL to SD. I tryed to get it working but had no effect.
So messing with Titanium Backup i unnistalled 2 Bloatware ONLY (Asphalt 7 and Millionaire, both demos) after that it asked me to reboot and so I did. When it turned on something went wrong. It can't start google play, my magazine and the file manager can't find Device Storage. In my PC connected via USB it shows an internal storage of 128mb... Does anyone have a clue of what happened? Did I changed any permissions whithout knowing by doing anything from above?
Thanks
Go back to Titanium backup and reinstall those programs you deleted and see if that fixes the problem.
I am rooted, running Negalite WondeROM v2. Stock kernel. Half the time, when I boot, the contents of my SD card dont show up. I get the gray squares, and when i try to open apps that are on my card, it says that they are not installed, or that I need to download the additional data(which I have already downloaded). Hot boot fixes it. And it doesn't happen all the time. Today, I was trying to update a game I purchased from the Play store, and I keep getting a message saying that I have insufficient external storage space. I have over 9Gb left on a 16Gb card. I used the Android applucation manager to move my apps to external SD, and not an app or anything. I have unmounted, removed, re-inserted and re-mounted my SD card, and the problem is unchanged. My internal storage is close to full, if that makes any difference. I have downloaded an SD fixer app, but when I opened it, it said that my SD was already writeable. Any input or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: making 5Gb space on INTERNAL storage seems to have solved the problem. Sorry for wasting everyone's time. Mods please close thread, OP a jackass.
Edit 2: nope, problem persists. Anyone have any sugestions?
Hi,
what I'm experiencing at the moment is kind of strange. I use a S-Offed M8 with the current Insertcoin Rom.
My internal SD Card is only used for Whatsapp and all installed Apps. With all the data there is about 1GB of free space.
Now the strange part - I always get the message from the phone telling me the internal sd is full. When I check the free space within the settings I see 16gb of 16gb used space. Then I delete some megabytes and i see the free space, but after minutes or even seconds the space is fully used again. I now deleted everything I could and found via es file explorer (root) but it's full again.
What can I do to determine the process, app or whatever causing this issue? It's really annoying as I can't use my phone correctly.
Thanks
Daniel

There is an app called Disk Usage and that can help to find where all your space is going?
Thanks, at the moment everything seems to work fine and the free space of 1 GB is usable. Next time it happens i will try DiskUsage.
It happened again! And the problem is the app called "Medienspeicher" (german). I don't know the english description, maybe "Media Storage"). DiskUsage shows me 1,1GB size of the media storage. After a couple of hours the space is free again - i did nothing. But oviously there's a problem with the media storage. Can it be resettet somehow?

Backup what personal data you want to keep (such as to your computer), and try formatting the memory in TWRP (in Wipe>Advanced options).
So today I pushed my amazon fire tv's storage capacity to its limit by pushing a very folder on to it, believing I could move the files to my SD card afterward. I had no luck moving the files to my SD card with the ES file manager because of the common root issue, so instead I just deleted the folder that was bogging down the FireTV from ES file manager. I am still at max storage for no discernible reason! and the files no longer appear under internal storage in ES file manager. So what am I to do? To make matters weirder now on top of the constant notifications that I am out of storage space, I am also getting constant notifications that my Amazon Fire Game Controller is being updated. This usually last for a minute or two before "finishing" then after another few minutes starts all over. Thanks for any help guys, would really like to resolve this .
