I have pretty much all of my apps installed on my SD card and I am still getting the Low on Space error. My phone says there is 18.9mb left of internal space. GMAIL is the biggest at 58mb and Google Earth is next at 16.76mb. GMAIL is on the phone but Google Earth is on SD. Any way to move gmail data to SD?

don't know this will fix but you can clear the cache of the browser or reboot the phone. that usually fix my problem
Nope. That didn't do anything. How can I tell what is taking all of my internal space.?
If you have Root explorer / EStrongs File Manager / any other explorer that shows system and data folders / Linux knowledge and Terminal installed, you can look in your Dalvik cache folder under /data to see, how much space is taken and by what.
(have the same problem - but only some apps are on SD).

0ok now i had a feeling A2SD might not be working, i DL a bunch of apps and i see the phone memory goes down more then the ext partition (SDcard secondary) <~~ thats what it shows on the phone, so it took more memory on the phone than the SD, i know it will still take some space on the phone but would it take more on the phone than the SD?
Sometimes you need to reboot for the apps to be moved.

Rebooting may help, but also, Market can store tons of cache. Try clearing Market cache through the "Manage Applications" menu.

GTP1000 Rooted I'm using Install Manager, Android Assistant, Quick application Manager and Root explorer to shift all my application from the phone to the SD card unfortunately I figured out that I have only 200 MB remaining in my phone memory ! Only 4 programs installed on there as per of the previouse listed applications and the remaining on the SD card as it shows I start searching to figure out the problem using root explorer I found the root
Phone Memory/mnt/asec/secure/asec - 990 MB so I tried to move it to the SD card but once moved it will return back again to the same path!! Even if I tried to delete it will remain the same! also I found another root phone/mnt/asec -670 MB which has almost the same applications by all means using root explorer I cut& paste the first root to the SD card and reboot then only the installed programs in phone works and the other application icons disappeared I was shocked cause even trying to backup my mistake was a hectic work, by all means its again as it was and still facing the same problem any help
Solution
After fed up of finding any solution I start clear all the programs data manually at least to preserve some space and while clearing my phone explorer application data I shocked it was loaded with 1.53 GB!!!!! Don’t know where it came from!!! But finally my sole been relieved thanks for all the assistant been given by every one answered my query
Ok a few issues here....
1) You should be asking this in the Q&A forum, not the Dev forum, it has nothing to do with development
2) You don't need four third party apps to move your apps to sdcard. Apps2SD is a function of the android system. You can simply go into Settings->Manage Apps and then go into whatever app you want to move and press the button that says "Move to SD Card"
3) You really shouldn't be rooting around your phone deleting or moving stuff without a thorough understanding of Linux and Android.../mnt/asec/secure/asec is a symlink to .android_secure on your sdcard. Those files were not actually on your internal memory, just links to files on your sdcard.
4) Android will manage your internal memory as necessary...you really don't need to be worried about having only 200mb free. Once you run out it will start installing apps to your sdcard on its own.
At this point I think you're pretty fubar and will have to reinstall the apps then move them to SD if you so choose.
Dear thanks a lot for you respond also thanks to direct me to the proper channel to post my inquiry in, also thanks a lot for the advices and for the explanation but one more concern killing me, why once trying to install new application an red SD card icons appears on the tab upper left corner with memory full window listing that internal device memory is nearly full delete/uninstall some applications or data and try again! Any help
Internal Memory full
You must have a ton of data on your internal SD and that is why the icon appeared. Also, some apps cannot be moved to the external SD. I would go into your applications and see what is vital and what you can delete. Keep the internal SD as light as possible. External SD's can be expanded to 32 gbs (i have one and it works well)..so use that for all your data and for moveable apps. Remember to check which apps you can move and which must stay on the Internal SD.
So, I had my Raider for about a month before rooting and installing the rumraider beta BUT...my internal SD is showing very little free space, and all I can think of is that I used to have a few gb of vids & pics in one of the folder hide apps, and they were stored on the internal SD. All that ever showed in any explorer app was an empty folder, even though that's supposedly where the files were hidden. Anyway, I deleted the folder manually, just to see if 3gb or so would magically free up.. but that didn't happen. There are also a bunch of no longer installed apps' data folders kicking around I'm quite sure.. so the questions are:
(a) what does the format internal SD card option do in the raider's system menu..and will it wipe out anything important to the function of my phone?
(b) is it safe and/or advisable to manually browse & delete unnecessary folders?
(c) if I've already used SD Maid and see no real noticeable difference in free space, are there any other apps which might do a better job?
..I have only a few dozen apps installed since flashing the rumraider rom, but the phones internal storage was pretty full beforehand.. I just assumed that the whole wipe process prior to (and during, if I read the progress right) the flash would clear all that data out. Its got 16gb internal storage in total.. partitioned, true.. but still.. i have almost nothing free. I find that odd.
'lil help? LOL!

+1 using holiraider
your internal sd is only 9.48gb(ish). on that, you can delete anything you want. whether any apps use any of the data in there is dependent on the apps you have installed. there is nothing there that is */required/* for your rom to function correctly
after backing up all your pictures/music/titanium backup files/clockworkmod backups/etc to your computer or all on an external card, you can safely format the internal sd. the system will recreate any files/folders it needs.
personally, i would just back EVERYTHING on the internal sd up to my computer, format the internal sd from the system menu, and if anything doesnt work properly after that, you always have the files handy.
I have a 32gb sd card so i backup the internal to sdcard2 into a ".No Media" folder. I hate duplicating images.. But this way i always have a back up with me since i like to flash roms while im at work (to impatient to wait till im home).
Right now it's the Facebook app, but many other apps have not and will not be able to update, despite the 236mb still available on the internal storage.
I tried removing apps I can live without, clearing cache (manually and with apps that do this) removing backups etc, but nothing worked.
Any ideas?
If you are rooted. Use file explorer and go to system/data/log folder and delete logs with similiar name with cpsilentreset. These logs are not neede but takes up space.

2. I deleted the app data for all those apps, whose updates weren't getting installed.
3. I connected my device to computer. I deleted all the data in Android/data folder. Didn't help
4. I uninstalled all the big apps, didn't help

I have not rooted my phone, which I don't want to do, as I my phone is still under warranty. But I very troubled. Please help
The list of apps I am not able to get updates for
Google Chrome
Google Drive
Facebook
Youtube
Whatsapp
Xperia Link
are you sure that this free space is for internal memory and not for the sdcard ? because Sony is known to basically place everything in the internal memory, as it's considered as sdcard0. sdcard1 is the true external memory
Can you show me a screen shot of your storage? Inside the settings
since you're rooted, I advice you to remove chrome, gmail, youtube and drive from the system/app directory, then do regular installations. this will save some memory and will be stored in the data/app dir
