Hi. 2 weeks ago, I updated my i9295 to the official 5.0.1 update. Upon checking the internal storage, I notice something strange with the amount of space used. Thinking that there are some files from CM12 that have not been deleted yet, I decided to factory restore my phone. However, after restoring all my apps and data, the issue still persists.
From the screenshots attached below, it says that the Used Space takes 4.60 GB. Clicking on that, I'm presented with a more specific breakdown. However, if I were to add everything, it only amounts to 1.28 GB. Same thing applies to the Miscellaneous Files; it says that it takes 4.39 GB but adding the size of every file, it totals to just 2.52 GB. How can I know what files are in the unaccounted 5.19 GB?
Upgraded from 4.4.4 to 5.1 rooted yesterday.
I think when I did that, I stored my files from my previous install hidden somewhere on my phone. I have over 6GB of my available space taken up and all I've put on my phone so far is a few ringtones. The only thing that makes sense is that the pictures and videos I had on my phone before are placed somewhere else.
I can't find them though. Does anyone have any ideas? I did try a factory reset before upgrading to 5.1, so that obviously didn't completely wipe my internal storage.
After upgrading to Marshmallow with Titanium backup I'm trying to restore my appa but I had me constantly full memory and do not know how to solve. It seems that marshmallow has partly filled memory
Thank

Folder "OTHER"
UPDATED via OTA to the new OS version 4.1.3 and it works fine a Wonder. The only thing that I found strange and the "Other" folder that contains 7.04 GB of data before the upgrade What were ivece Just 800 MB. Someone can explain why the IOC and going rate for deleting data What are not necessary From the "Other"?
Thank you
OOS seems to be reserving storage space (around 3-4 GB) without filling it, likely in preparation for Google's seamless system update mechanism (updates are downloaded and saved in a reserved empty partition in the background, the phone then boots to the new partition on next reboot, reducing the amount of time needed for updates). However, 7 GB does seem rather excessive. Go into your internal storage and delete anything in the oem_log folder, there was an error a few updates ago that generated a bunch of bt-snoop logs without user permission. Also reboot your phone, as a current file system bug may be preventing the OS from recognizing free space after a file has been deleted.
I have stock EVA-L09C432B391 build number
On my clean device I have only 21.2 GB out of 32 GB free space
According to Settings -> Memory and Storage, firmware takes 6.92 GB, Apps take 796 MB, Cached Data takes 25.31 MB, and Other take 51.52 MB, so the sum gives about 7.8 GB, so I should have about 24.2 GB free space left, but I have only 21.2 GB
SO where did the remaining 3 GB go?
I heard that the clean P9 should have about 25 GB space left for the user
I was recently doing a lot of updates using Firmware Finder, so I'm guessing that maybe there are some leftover update packages somewhere?
I tried wiping partition cache but it didn't help

Try using the cleanup function of the phone manager, or use, after you did the clean up, the storage manager option, there you can delete big files and hopefully your left over roms

I did this and still no success
I also tried uninstalling the Firmware Finder and no success either
I tried various methods, but no app can find these 3 GB files

Ok. so i calculated my storage to and it was also 3 GB off! I'm guessing that these are some files hidden from the user and not showing, but still a part of the operating system (for example it could be an other partition).

32 GB Internal Memory includes also invisible system partitions you could see only on the rooted phone or from TWRP (if you flash it)
