Where does my Storage memory go? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Cant you just plug it into your computer via a card reader and look at whats on it and where you can get some of your space back?
Or get a bigger storage card

The problem is not the storage card (sorry if that confusing) It the internal storage memory. i am down to 1.75mb for storage and 60mb for programs. I save everything to my memory card, so i dont know why the onboard memory is full.

So its your internal memory? if thats the case make sure to clear ie cookies and also your email attachments will take up alot of space along with mms. Make sure to clear them often and that should help free up some space also you can flash a naked rom or try the one i use, it has alot of free space.​

turned out i had accrued 60mb of cookies. Thanx for all the help

lol yeah that happen to me before, just remember to keep clearing it when your done and your quite welcome =)​

That's alot of cookies!!! I like my with chocolate ;O

Help!!!

Ok i have had me Tilt sense day one it came out! and
my question is that when i download cabs,program i save them to my card. when i go to install it and it ask my device or memory card i always put them on memory card! and after its installed i see my device memory get lower am i doing somethig wrong? O and it shows my memory card as storage card 2 when it should be storage card right! could that be the problem? its a 8gb card
I wouldn't worry about the SD card's name, it makes no difference. Depends on how much storage you are loosing when you install. Remember some apps will install shortcut icons onto the device so you can use them for the startmenu, home apps, etc. so you are going to loose a little space, but not alot.
It shows that i have 64968k memory available that's not that bad is it? i think i should have more then that! and im saving everything to the SD card! and i clear my text messages and web cookies like once a week so the phone can run smooth! thanks for the help
Yea, thats low. Have you went through and deleted all the bloat. Meaning sometimes they put tones, pictures, videos, music in My Documents. After flashing a ROM I usually go through My Documents folders and delete all the stuff I don't need. Another quick way to find out what is taking up so much space is to go into Start, Settings, System, click on Memory and down at the bottom click on "FIND" large files using storage memory. You can edit your search preferences there, the files you want to look for are the ones without the file with the storage card icon(those files are on the storage card)

Storage Memory is not the Storage Card. Hit the Storage Card tab at the bottom of your memory screen.

He's not worried about the Storage Card. His concern is the Storage Memory.

internal memory filling up

hey guys,
im running the latest cmod build (4.2.13),all my apps are on my partitioned sd card and everything is doing what it is supposed to be doing.
except after a while my phone slows down so much that im not capable of doing anything regular anymore. i found out my internal memory gets filled up after a while (2 weeks?).
currently my internal memory only has 28mb of space left. Also when i reboot the phone the internal memory is still around the same. how is this possible? shouldnt it be like 90mb's of free space..?
what is filling my internal memory so much it slows down my phone like not being capable of using it in an normal matter.
i dont know where its comming from so i dont know how to fix it!
best regards
Well the first step would be to actually go in and check what files are being created, where, and what their sizes are.
and how is that possible? the files are being created in the internal memory, not on the sd card.
Same problem
I have the same issue! Need help!
Try to clean all caches (browser, news, ...) . Application caches fill up often internal memory.
perhaps you can get CacheMate application for this purpose.
i had the same problem and yes, it was the data/cache of my apps that was taking up all my interna memory

Storage Memory problem... need help.

I keep getting the "Storage Memory" message on my screen and don't know where/how to free it up. Can anyone tell how to do this?
Thanks.
TW,
No one has any idea how to fix this?
if you have a full storage card start removing some stuff that you have through activesync or removing programs that you have.
So, is this application space on the phone itself? are there temporary files that could be dumped, etc.?
Thanks,

I have no idea what you are talking about dude, what I meant is that you can manually remove files that maybe are on your sd card through activesync (exploring files in your card) and have some space available but if you want to clean temporary files. You can use Cleartemp
I hope that helps,
I have a 4 gig SD card in the phone, its not even close to full.
If you look at the picture I posted its referencing 128 meg so its storage somewhere else, where is it and why is it getting full?
Thanks,

Hi Tiger Woods...busy with you phone and not with golf (we hope to see you back soon)
The message you are getting is related to your main storage (phone) and it's has nothing to do with your sdcard.
I assume you have a 6.5 rom from what I see in your pictures. This cooked roms (not light versions) will get more storage since chefs include apps in their images and adding to that; if you install additional programs in your main storage (not on sd card) you'll get the message.
Use the app that I just sent you (if not already in your rom) and start to free some memory and also I will recommend you to start removing programs from main storage and installing them in your sdcard so you can free some memory from your phone.
I hope that helps,

[Q] internal memory usage list?

As many others have, I frequently run into a lack of internal memory on my nexus. I only ever have about 20 mb free. So today I decided to try and figure out what takes up all my internal mem.
I have a stock, non rooted phone running 83d.
I use apps 2sd and dolphin browser with cache on sd
I went to apps2sd and added up all the package sizes of the apps on my phone memory, came up to about 93mb. Yet I only have about 20mb free. That means about 70mb is being used up by other crap. Phone and contact storage is only 2mb each. So what is eating my memory and how can I find out? is there an app that'll chart out internal memory usage by app/file?

93mb of apps is just for the actual app .apk file. app data takes a HUGE amount of space.
most things i've got left on the phone don't really have much associated data from the ones i've checked anyway. Still, can't believe there's no app to show internal mem usage. There's tons of them for the SDcard... Also, diskusage is only for sdcard. I'd still like an easy way to see what's taking up all my internal mem and decide if i want to uninstall it or clear the data or whatever.
As soon as you open diskusage, it asks if you wanna see internal or external...

I like this disk usage app,i find it interesting how the developer used the tap to com on the different layouts and how data is used

Low on space ?????!!!!!!

Hey guys wazzup,
I keep getting this low on space,
while I have 1.3GB free System Storage
and 2GB Internal SD Storage....
why is that?
I'm on CM7 .....
My phone is smellin' somethin'
Restart your phone, it's a bug that happens sometimes.
Check your /datadata folder for free space, if it runs out you can't install apps.
Move some apps to the sd card, this will surely clear room.
That's all off the top of my head.
