I don't have any idea on what's hogging all the storage space of my phone but after updating aps it gets full, when I check my storage usage using fx file explore, it's only on 2.2gb

I'm looking for some help determining what is using the phone storage on my HOX.
Internal storage is showing as 1.56Gb available out of total space of 2.11GB. Phone Storage is showing as 77.9MB available out of a total space of 25.5GB.
When the Storage drive is mounted on Windows I can only see around 3GB of files. I temporarily shifted all the files from the storage drive to the PC and it accounted for around 3GB of files and the Storage drive was still showing almost full.
Whats the trick in tracking down where or what is using up the space?

There's a bug on 1.28 firmware that eats up storage. My advice is to flash a new ROM or ota to newer firmwares

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:
with a root stock rom, j7, my phone is running out of space, althou I have not installed big apps. why? mis. files says 4gb, but when check these files (folders) they amount to max. 1gb. any ideas? where does the storage go?
please help i cant install apps any more because it says "insufficient storage available"
i used apps 2 rom which transfers data to rom and after a month i deleted some apps and i free up my internal storage up to 2.2 gb
and after that i removed my apps from rom and they took a little space to my internal storage, still i have 2.1 gb free but it cannot download apps
My rom free: 316.6 mb
My internal storage free: 2.1 gb
But still cannot download an app
I have it Rooted. i know advanced in android
i dont have a memory card

Some apps look for percentage available instead of MB available or some nonsense.
Could also be that it needs to install some secured data, and that's going into a place you don't have enough space.
Also, if you had an app installed on external memory at some point, and you try to reinstall it, you'll get that error. Check your Application Manager for any apps that have the memory card icon on them. Those can cause problems.
Personally, I use Link2SD Plus, which requires an SD card. This allows you to move whole applications to a second partition of the SD card. Works well with the tab 3, and leaves me with lots of free space.
I'm assuming when you say ROM space free, you mean System partition space free? I only have about 9MB free on mine and it causes no problems.
Have had this issue on my phone before because the ROM itself locked the device as read-only, causing any app to give that error, and had to flash it again.
I had a bunch of unknown junk cluttering my user/data partition (they're the same physical area on the device), and had to wipe the "internal storage" and "data" from a custom recovery after backing up my data I cared about.
Hopefully this is informative, and hopefully someone else can be more helpful
Good luck to you

i dont know what it says but i think it means read-only memory, and my tablet has no recovery mode it only shows "downloading mode"
I don't know if this is a permanent solution but I noticed that I had no "OBB" file in "Android " on my "extsdcard". I created said file and moved all files from "OBB", "sdcard0" to new OBB file. I then started a program who's file I moved to new OBB and immediately closed. Then went back to original OBB to delete newly created file (double) for that app. Now all my apps download straight to extsdcard in the new OBB file. I can also move apps to SD card from app manager .
Let me know if it worked for you.

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).
