[Q] Galaxy Note - Internal Memory low - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. My Note's Internal memory (2GB) is almost (< 200MB left) but the applications only take up about 700MB. Using System Tuner I can see there is 1.06GB of "others". Do someone know what this "others" is and how to reclaim some space from it? Thanks in advance.

its also your data from apps and sms etc

Check in system/lost+found.. Delete whatever is in that folder.

For storage cleaning try SD Maid from the market,
to check what is what and how many space it takes you could try Total Commander on PC (Alt-Shift-Enter displays folders size), or one of those Android apps (did not test any of them):

Thanks all for your help. I have tried SD Maid and found that most of the 1.06G "others" are in the logs folder. I have deleted them and reclaimed the space. :laugh:

for future reference please search before posting as this has been answered many times
your apps are stored on the sdcard however the data is still stored in internal memory
Erm okay, my bad. But it will still take out phone storage memory too? In that case, the phone memory storage will still decrease when more applications are installed in?

no prob man ... yea it should take a lil bit of memory for the more apps you have ... but very very insignificant ... i have 100s of apps installed and only like 20mb being used up lol
I see. Okay, that's great! Anyway, can I check with you, since applications are installed in SD, what data are actually installed in the phone memory, what are these datas? If I want to uninstall an application, what's the proper way of doing it since there is these data at the phone memory too?
anyone????
if i am not mistaken, the data still stored are mostly the cache, the setting for each programs (preferences etc).. just remove it normally using the app manager or from the downloads page on the market.
Hi there, when you are saying remove normally is through the 'Manage Applications' tab right?

Why just use your external sd( micro sd) and just move the data there.

Any Tools or Apps can be resize the ROM Partition

My system storage almost full. I would like to resize the partition by free up the internal sdcard space.
Is it possible to do it in Original ROM of 4.1.2? It should be better to do it easily.

Use titanium backup or a tool like that to delete system apps which you don't need. Before you do delete them though first freeze them to make sure you don't delete something needed.

Resizing the system partition won't give you anything. What exactly do you want to do? Because if you want more space for your installed user apps then you should check this out:

By default, all of the system storage is 2GB. I want it more. Is it possible resize the system storage partition from 2GB to 4GB or more ( using the 16GB ROM storage to add in to the system storage)

only you can do is hard reset or maybe some advanced file explorer and try to find files using your memory
but if you fail than just make backup with CM backup and hard reset your phone , and enjoy using it again
CM backup find on play store and after hard reset you can easy get back your photos contacts etc

Question 12Gb of other in Storage Space

Hey, I am running out on free storage on my device, and I noticed that in the Storage Space section in settings it says that I have 12Gb used of "other". How can I identify what actually is taking that space and clean it? I manually looked in to all folders on my device and could not find anything that big to account for that.

I'll think your main storage consumption is in internal data.
Not rooted means you can't see them and can't delete them.
Seems some apps saved a lot of data.
I guess you've searched in internal storage and you've didn't found huge files....
Unrooted means also you can only delete complete apps to find out which are responsible.
