Hi all. Today i started experiencing a very peculiar problem. I opened the Camera app and got a message: "Not enough memory". I had some megabytes left actually, but i checked Settings>Storage and it didn't report any available space. I deleted some files (~169 MB). Storage then showed 169 MB of free space. I opened Camera again, same problem. Went to Settings>Storage, 0 space available. Deleted more files(34 MB). Free space 34 MB. Open Camera, same message. Check Storage, no space available. (Settings>Storage Only shows Pictures, video; Audio; Download; Miscellaneous files. Available space is not even shown, but the USB storage bar has a grey part)
My phone is GT-N7000 running on AllianceROM ICS Final, I've been on this ROM for about a month. If more technical information is needed for your answer, just ask.
I have tried: rebooting, clearing data and cache of Camera and Gallery, wiping cache partition.
Any solutions for this problem?
Thanks for your answers in advance!
P.S. Sorry if this question was asked already elsewhere, I wasn't able to find any useful information.
Download an app that will show you what is taking up so much space, just have a look in google play
Also check your data/log file. Delete if lot of memory used there.
So... I deleted 400 more megabytes, and then I got 200 MB free space. If this space doesn't disappear, the problem is gone, I guess. All of this was very strange.
Thanks for the support anyway.

Hello Everyone!
I'm experiencing an issue with my touch Diamond.
Usually, I put nothing on my storage memory, I put all my data on the Internal storage.so, there should be nthing on the system storage, what means there should be at least 40MBs free outta the 85.but I still get the "Storage memory critically low" message, and all the memory in the storage disappears!
when I connect my device to the PC via ActiveSync, and look up the my device folder (not the 4gb internal), it says I've got no memory free,but when I go into there, select all my files and click "properties",it says theres only 40mbs of data on it, still the 85mb system storage is full!I've tried everything:registry cleaning, removing all the programs, cleaning Opera cache and e-mail attachments, too, still nothing helps but a ROM update!after that everythings OK (for a while), and then starts all over again after a few weeks,and I don't wanna spend every 3rd week with reinstalling the ROM and set all the settings back (yeah I have the backup but still annoying to update ROM every month....:S)
Please,anybody, HELP!!!!
Something that might point you in the right direction ... when you select all the files and check the size, hidden files won't be included. Make sure you have explorer set to show hidden files and system files, or use something like total commander to find them.
Once you find out what is really taking up all the space, hopefully it will lead you to the solution. Sorry I can't suggest something more specific.
I realise this wouldn't help the original poster, but I'm posting this in case it helps others in a similar situation.
Today, for the first time, I got the dreaded 'you are running out of memory' warning and, sure enough, I only had 2MB left on the Storage partition. I only ever install apps to the 4GB Internal Storage partition and all that so there's really no reason why this should've been happening. What tipped me off to the solution was the fact that the only app I'd been using at the time was Opera. So, I tried clearing the Opera cache and, despite the fact it's set to only use 4MB of space, clearing it out reclaimed about 25MB of space in the Storage partition.
So, it would seem there's a bit of a bug there in Opera and I'd advise anyone having storage space issues to try that no matter how little space Opera might claim that it's cache is taking up.

You're a star...!
I couldn't work out why I had lost so much device storage space either...
Just regained a whole 9MB
Not a hell of a lot, but sure explained half of my problem...!
I ran out of memory - now WM wont load
I had those critical memory messages. did a hard reset, and now my diamond won't restart. it hangs on the windows mobile 6.1 screen.
any tips?
I can get into bootloader mode. is my only option to flash a new ROM?
tks.
With the latest SKTools (if you don't wanna edit the registry) it's easy to move the Opera cache to the internal 4 gig storage instead.
Hi all, I understand the main storage is 50MB and depending on the ROM this gets eaten up fast. Right now mine is at 1MB free. I text a lot and I figured it is the text message DB that is eating up the space.
Is there a way to move that DB to the internal storage instead?

If you are desperate to keep your old messages, use one of the backup programs located on this forum and delete your old ones from the device.
Besides that, I suggest cleaning up the storage space by deleting unnecessary pictures, such as the ones that come on the phone or moving your media to the internal storage.
OK I love to install games, lot, lot of games. One day, whilst I was installing, I had the message from the system to say that my phone had insufficient Database Memory and required me to delete some games to have the warning disappeared. When I checked with Titanium, I had only 12.5 MB left over 124 MB. I moved all the application if possible to SD Card but it does not free up much memory. So I would like to ask, is there any other way to get the job done effectively? or is there any apk to improve the Database Memory?
Sorry for noob question since I am new with Android and thank you very much
I would like an answer to this question as well, if there is any.
I deleted apps, text messages, emails, and contacts with limited success. As of now, I have a total of 35.8mb of free DB memory, but everything that's still present, I would like to keep. I'm guessing I'm going to run into this problem more and more in the future.
I would like a more convenient way of clearing this unusually small amount of memory that's available, or at least a way to check what data is present at the moment so I can clean it up more effectively.
So, to all you non-noobs: HELP?! Please?
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?
Disk Usage, from the market may help...

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
Hi guys, I have a brand new Galaxy S6 and started downloading my applications from the playstore. After a dozen applications (not games) I got the error "There is insufficient space on the device". I went to the storage and it says my apps take 1.34GB and 30GB available. Why is it doing this? I cleared the cache and online searches result in the obvious, clearing used space. This is a brand new phone, there is nothing on it yet. Did anyone bump into this problem?
Still can't find the solution but I uninstalled what apps I installed and installed "storage truth" which told me my /data partition was 1.9GB and full. That seems like a tiny fraction of the 32GB that is allotted for applications, and not to mention most of the space is taken up by Samsung apps. Any chance anyone can check their /data partition size using "storage truth"? It might be a glitch, might have to get it repaired
Had this before .have you tried clearing the data for playstore app in application manager
