I just turned on the phone and it says it's low on space. There is 13GB avaliable of the 14GB memory card. Is the actual phone memory being used up and how do I clear this?
You clear it by uninstalling apps
Best way to avoid this is by using partitioning your sd card and using link2sd- GOOGLE IT and you'll see what it is

Your internal memory is getting filled up. Shift majority of your apps to the SD card. Better yet, if you have root, I suggest Link2SD. Xperia Blog wrote up a nice tutorial a while back. (I now have virtually unlimited space XD )
In order to clear which memory is low, check following address:
Settings --> Applications --> Manage applications
the first tab (downloaded), Internal storage is shown. see if there is enough free space on below tab.
on the third tab (On SD card), SD card storage is presented and you can see if it has empty space.
I am having problems with my internal memory dropping below 50MB remaining internal memory and even though I uninstalled several apps (or moved them to my SD card) my internal memory remains nearly the same.
I am wondering if there is some sort of "back-up" folder on my internal phone storage that is taking up a lot of unneeded storage space.
I am running SleeperROM 3.0.0 and have seen some "back-up" folders on the SD card, but don't know where to look on my internal phone storage. I did not have these memory problems when I was running SleeperROM 2.1.0 (or whatever the last version was) even though I had the same number of apps on the phone.
Does anyone know where files cached from internet, e-mail, back-ups are located?
A few apps that updated recently are larger. All apps are stored in data partition on the phone not the Sd card.

I see that even though I move apps to the SD card, there is still some remnance on the phone. But is there any folder(s) out there that may be storing documents or data from e-mail, web, etc...?
So I'm using converted to GPE 16GB HCT One.
I have 32GB SD card and where possible apps load data to the SD (Google Music, Voice recorder etc.)
If you look at the picture I have 8GB available of internal storage but the graph shows less than 40% free (this does not add up)
Also why apps take internal storage if everything is cached to SD
Last time I had to factory reset because I have run out of storage for some reason and despite removing 3GB i was still low on storage.
Anyone can help?

look for an app called FolderMount in the play store
Thanks bit the app doesn't work for me. I don't have root
Moreover, I don't have any data stored from Google music or voice recorder on internal memory. It's all on the sd card and it still takes up the space of the internal storage.

Try the DiskUsage app from the play store. It will tell you EXACTLY what is stored on your phone and where it is. I use it myself. It's a great app to have.
Here is a link to the app.
none of this works
Again:
1. music and voice recordings are stored on micro sd card (they do not show up on the internal storage)
2. Google music and voice recorder data reports taking internal storage (see first screenshot)
3. using DiskUsage app there is nothing on the internal storage yet the graph shows less than 40% of 12GB avail (that would be around 4-5GB) but I have actually over 60% free which isnt expressed on the graps
So, somehow android is incorrectly reporting available storage, but then even if I remove something the graph still stays at the same level.

graps?
You do realize that the ROM is on internal storage as well, right? Sense based ROMs are around 1.5gb

Did you look at the photos and what I have been saying?
I'm running GPE stock (full convert)
Yes I know that from 16GB storage you get around 12GB usable due to OS installation and formatting.
Look at the graph again. you have 8GB free of 12GB available. The graph shows that only around 40% is available (8/12 is not 40%!!!!). If I cache music onto my micro SD card, for some reason that data is counted towards internal storage.
I have a asus ZenFone 2 16gb with marshmallow, it's only a month old and I'm having internal storage problems. I only have 3 gigs of apps and everything else is under 500MB. It says I only have 600MB available and that keeps going down even though I don't put anything else on. Help!
Hello,
I have been using for HTC smartphone for some time. I noticed that my storage space is almost full.
I have a Desire 820 with 16GB internal storage. My apps & media files are about 5GB. The maximum storage is used by 'other' (7.26GB). I have no idea what this is and how to free that storage space.
Tried factory reset, but still around 6GB used by 'other'.
Please help me out on this..
