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

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).
HI, first of all thank you for a great forum that i have visited a lot of times the last 5 years.
I have one major problem with my samsung galaxy note. I can't run gallery because then i get 'not enough memory, Delete some items'.
If I start camera and then click on one image gallery starts without any problems.
Storage on my note:
SD Card: Available 11,40 GB
USB storage: 0
System memory: 1,47 GB
Please tell me how to fix this. I have tried a few memory optimizer apps from the marked but nothing...
Regards

After 2-3 days of experimenting and studying loads of internet posts I finally managed to solve this problem:
Your Gallery needs space on ur internal SD-Card to work, even if you store all ur videos and photos on the external SD-Card. And as you posted there is 0 kB Space on your USB-Storage and thats the point.
Go to Menu - Own Files and find the largest Files and Folders. Now you have to find out, which Files may be deleted. For example I deleted Game Folders that took up to 0.5 GB and also deleted some old BackUp Files of CWM.
Be careful with this deleting and watch out not to delete any system relevant files!
I did not deleted them but moved them to my external SD-Card so I could move them back if my Android would be messed up afterwards.
I hope this helped you and others!
as said it more than likely because you have no free space on your internal memory, free some up and im sure it will start working
Hi everyone,
I have issued the same problem newly on these days with my SGN. But on the contrary, when I look at my storage levels:
Storage Name: Used / Total
System storage: 0.92GB / 1.97GB
USB storage: 1.42GB/11.07GB
SD card: 8.00GB/14.89GB
I'm using Android version 4.1.2 with N7000XLSA Baseband and the device is rooted. I have deleted some files to free up more space in internal SD (which is denoted as sdcard0 in JB) but it seems that it didnt work out, because the problem continues. Am I doing smthg wrong or is there another solution or workaround for this?
Regards,
Same problem here
I have same problem. Almost same memory usage. I mean lots of megabytes exist on every unit (phone, phone sd, ex t sd)
But cannot open gallery, s note, etc with same "not enough memory" message.
N7000/4.0.4
Just clear cache from in gallery app from settings>application and reboot. Also you need some minimum space in your internal sd storage. Also do not install unnecessary apps. Try to uninstall the apps that you don't use. Some apps tend to use more ram & storage.
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.

Hey All!
I'm taking a trip soon and I want as much space as possible on my device for pictures and such. I'm currently using 25 GBs of my storage on my 32 GB Nexus 6. The issue is, under storage, it doesn't show anywhere near 25 GBs being use. I think out of all my pictures and apps and videos it equals something like 11 GBs.
My question is: Why am I using 25 GBs of storage when my apps and such only take up 11GBs? And how do I fix it so that I have more free storage on my phone? I know I can wipe internal storage in TWRP but recently I did that on an HTC One and it royally screwed up the phone to the point where I had to reinstall windows drivers and all kinds of other stuff.
Thanks for the help.

32GB Nexus 6 only has ~25.9gb of total usable space which is due to the full 32gb being split up for other partitions including the OS, cahce, recovery, etc. If you want to free up space then you need to delete things you're storing on the phone, so uninstall apps you don't need, delete pictures/videos after backing them up somewhere whether it be the cloud or a PC, clear cached data I would recommend going into the apps list to do this rather than the storage list as the storage list will just wipe all cache and some apps will just download the missing files back the first time you use them. If you use google music then going into the app and clearing its cache in its settings is a cleaner solution since it stores its cache as "app data". Uninstall updates and disable system apps you aren't using (preventing their updates from taking up storage space).
Now if you don't care about anything that's currently on your phone then a factory reset will clear basically everything from your phone including google accounts (there's a security feature requiring you to sign in after resetting), apps, files, everything that is possible to remove without heavy modification. After doing this, again disable preinstalled apps in settings that you won't use so that they don't download updates which take up internal storage.

Would you say it's safe to wipe internal storage in TWRP? I don't mind having to reinstall my apps and such again I just basically want a blank slate and as much storage as possible.

Well just wiping internal storage in TWRP will just wipe the section where you store your music/docs/photos...if you want to completely wipe the phone and start from "out of the box new", you'll need to wipe the device and reload the factory images.
wiping internal storage wont wipe your apps. It will wipe your userdata, the stuff that is on your "sd card". Apps are under /data
You can wipe internal storage.
My phone is rooted. I am using Lenovo A7000 phone with AOSP 6.0 by Risma Ermaya.
I have formatted my SD card as internal storage using the default feature of marshmallow.
Few months back, I started facing the issue of Facebook and Messenger updates. Whenever I used to update my facebook or messenger from the playstore, these apps stopped opening and used to crash. But after I used to restart my phone, these applications ran fine. A week ago, I installed instgram for the first time in this phone. Similar thing happened with it too. After installation from Google Play store, it did not open. However, after restarting the phone, everything went well.*
Yesterday, I was updating facebook, I got the error 403. I cleared up data of my playstore app after forced stopping it, removed all my google accounts from the phone, and rebooted the device. After rebooting, the error was still showing up in the playstore. Feeling frustrated, I forced stopped Google Play services framework application, cleared it data and rebooted my phone. But, the problem was still there.
I have got into deeper trouble now. My microSD card has become write protected. I did not remove my SD card at all since months. It is of sandisk brand and has class 10.*
I cannot take screenshots. I cannot download any file from chrome browser. I cannot download images sent to me by my friends through whatsapp.*
I cannot even copy one file in its folder to another folder in the memory card. I have tried using the default file explorer and Solid Explorer application. I have just 587 MB remaining in my phone. However, I can access any file I want to. My videos and music are playing just fine.*
I am also able to delete any files within the file explorer, so that I can make a nandroid backup of my files in TWRP. Even TWRP does not allow me to delete my music and videos within the SD card. What should I do to fix this trouble? I do not want to format my SD card as it has lot of important data. Even if I connect my phone to my PC and try to copy the files, the process hangs after few seconds and Windows explorer hangs which is displaying the content in my SD card. I am running windows 8.1.
I have also tried unmounting and remounting my sd card using the in built feature of Marshmallow, but this trick still doesn't solve my trouble.*
I have also tried clearing cache and dalvic from TWRP but still no progress. I feel that facebook is the culprit because while clearing cache in TWRP, it gives the error that it could not clear cache from com.facebook.katana folder.
