I think you have to wipe data from mediascanner, reboot and just wait 'til it has rescanned everything on your device. Worked for me

if that also doesn't work, check /sdcard or /data for files that big and delete it
Look in sdcard
Then android and obb
Basically
/Sdcard/android/obb
There will be a golder inside it which will be related to games u have downloaded
Only large files are in this folder hence there is a big chance that only the ashphalt 8 file is on it but be careful if u delete wrong folder u might have to redownload data for another game

So I have the GT-S5830, and I have some pitiful 8MB of internal storage left. To fix this it appears I have to root the phone (to get all the junk pre-installs out of there); however every way I'v tried has resulted in the installation itself being successful, but still not root access. I'v tried several methods including the main guide in the development section of the forum.
It's an Australian phone, locked with Optus, Android version 2.3.6
Baseband V. - S5830XWKT3
Build Num. - GINGERBREAD.XWKT7
Would anyone know what I could be doing wrong; or even better write an idiot-proof guide which should work?
Thank you in advance
Not quite sure here but in order to root you need to have more than 8mb of storage as rooting installs Busybox,SuperUser etc. You need more storage mate. Try deleting some stuff you don't need or use and try again.
Edit: I heard somewhere that in order to install an app you need to have TWICE the amount of storage as the app takes up. E.g. App is 10mb then you need 20mb free. Never had low storage so I'm not sure how true this is.

Thanks mate. Superuser and the testing app usually install fine (well their icon is there and they run fine), it's just that they don't do anything because I still don't have root access.
However I will do it again with more space (I don't know what i'll delete, pretty much everything is pre-installed bloat) and if that works I'll let you know.

Nobody has it and nobody know if it will be available in the next update. I really hope so because I will need that too but if that not come in official way for sure will come in unofficial way but no eta at the moment.
And again the same question about app2sdcard.....
The only way actually is: root your phone, use an app like FolderMount and be happy

Yes, FolderMount works for me. Did you root your Z1? Did you make folderpairs and activate them?
Folder mount is an amazing app.
1. Download and install a big app (lets say modern combat 4)
2. Open folder mount and create a new entry by selecting the plus symbol
3. Name the entry as Modern Combat 4
4. Go down to the next line and click it.
5. Find the apps data file (in this case is /storage/emulated/0/Android/obb/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftM4HM
6. Open that folder and click on the tick.
7. When you get back to folder mount it will ask you if you want to automatically choose a destination folder, just click yes and let folder mount do the work for you.
8. Select Exclude from media scan.
9. Allow it to mount the folder in your SD card, probably takes a few mins.
10. Pin it by turning the pin from white to green, takes a few seconds.
Your done.
PS: No idea if it wil be implemented in the future, I'm sure Samsung did something similar but then they were missing a good few gig from their internal memory so maybe they had reasonable cause to.
My advice is to just use folder mount, I've got about 10 large games mounted and my internal memory is still on 8GB

This is the way. But for some apps like Fifa14 you must move the data and the app. Otherwise the app will again download the data....

Haven't got fifa 14 m8, the control system is shocking, especially seeing as the moga controller is readily available, I have no idea why they didn't implement it into the game.
I've got RR3 which is an EA Game, it's in android/data/com.ea.games.r3_row and thats the only folder that needs to be mounted.

didn't do that for me, did you make sure to mount it within the app? You have to make sure that the pin is green.
There is folder named tencent that is created in my internal storage and inspite of deleting it comes back within 24 hours. Is it a virus and how do I get rid of it ?

what is inside the folder and wht s directory?!
that might be not malware, check ur apps if one of them or more support online ads. however this could be malware somehow but it won't be harmful.
:good:
Do you use QQ/Tencent Weibo or any of their games? It could be because of that....

what method did you use to reboot? did you click on the power off button and then turn it on?
go to settings >> apps >> see here how much app space is taken and how much space is free

Sadly, I'm a newbie and I think I'm the only one who even visits here (besides the uploaders whom we all love <3)
Uh, you are on the stock rom by gionee, right?
One possible issue could be that your apps were installed on the SD card/"memory card", something happened to the "Android" folder on the SDcard/'memorycard' and that is why it shows in the menu as "installed" but it won't open (because the .ASEC file on the SD card cannot be detected"
Solution: Uninstall from the Settings->Application menu and try re-installing the app from play store

Wow ....yeah man , that was the problem may be ....Thank You for your reply for my post
I have sony Xperia Z1 with stock rom and xposed flash. Obviously rooted too. If i have missed anything, you can ask me in the comments section
I have flashed zrcam but when I click pictures, they are very huge. I do not have any problem with it being captured as i can delete them but what makes me worried, is that two thumbnail files have being created in my thumbnails folder which is currently taking up 2.69 and 2.68gb of my storage each. One of the file name is .thumbdata3-1763508120.
I have tried deleting these files but they appear back again or my camera stops working. I rebooted the phone several times and the camera started working with those massive files appearing back again. Also i have tried deleting pictures in those thumbnail folder but the size of the thumbnail file doesn't decrease. Pictures taken from my phone are saved in sd card and these stupid files are in the internal memory .
My question is, is there any way i could delete this file or i could delete the zrcam? Where can i get the stock camera app to flash. Sorry but i didn't back it up. I never knew i would face this issue. Please if anyone could help me that would be great!
Thanks a lot!

Yaa. I thought you became angry.
I have disabled the album app and then deleted those files but after sometime the files appear back again, the gallery app being already disabled. And i do not even have gbs of pictures. It can be 1gb total, maybe! Why are these files so big??

I have tried this trick by creating a file of the same name but that stopped my camera app. The app started crashing, so i rebooted back again and it was fine but on the other hand, the files came back again too, lol
