Recently I have been getting insufficient storage space warnings. When I look in the storage settings however, it looks like I'm 'missing' 4gb. What might be causing this?

Thats the System space!

Its what your ROM, Kernel and other OS stuff reside.
We get 12GB from a 16GB phone. That's how it is...

It think the OP is saying it doesn't even add up to the 11.88 GB.

Exactly. The used space and available space adds up to about 8gb. The user total space should be far more than that as shown at the top.

Just checked and the things reported add up to about 7.9 GB. I'm not sure if the Android Runtime cache (or Dalvik cache in older versions) is reported there, but that will use up space, too, and I think it is in the data partition.

CLEAR cache. AND If you have custom recovery then clear dalvik also.
Do it again after a reboot. If issue not solved then you have to backup your data and Factory reset.

can the internal sdcard with the Data partion merge so that the data has 8GB instead of 4GB?
I do not know if that is so you can then make the ExtSdCard to internal sdcard??
If it could be done I think someone would have posted the guide already.

So mean my 2 partition can not merge with android devices??
I have plenty of apps and data stored in the system partition. But it would not be wise to use it all up as system uses that free space for caches and processing. Filling it up would make apps run slow.

I would really like to have if the data partitions get 4GB instead of 8GB, it would be so I was wondering if you can not lead the two partitions get together
Hello,
I have about 8 gb of stuff on my internal memory, but my device is showing the SD to be nearly full, with System Memory taking 29.56 gb. This seems absurdly high, anybody know what's going on?

That's why... Its a safe strap bug. The space is still there its just wonky reporting. If you open a file manager, you will see your true free space
I don't have an external sdcard. My phone has a lot of
internal memory free. How can I move my apps to
internal memory? Is that possible? BTW, I am using the
latest carbon 4.4.4 r2 build (i9070). Because our phone has only 2gb of application(phone) memory.

It will move your apps to external SD, similar to that what you need. And how did you menaged to get those 2GB full of apk files?

Yes, but one game is around 50MB maybe (APK), you do not have 40 games?. Its data uses internal memory (that 4GB). Maybe that memory is full, not that 2GB.

If you want just to move games (big games),then i suggest you Directory Bind

I am using SGSA I9070 16gb variant. Application memory is 2gb. I have got more than 5gb of internal memory free. Hence i am not using an external sdcard. My application memory is 75% full. So I am asking about moving my apps or part of them to internal memory.
Sorry! Moving apps to external sdcard is not an option for me, as i don't have an external sdcard. So please don't point me towards instructions about moving apps to external sdcard.

Thanks for information. Something new to know. But I don't have external memory card.

Hit search and type "Move apps from phone storage to USB storage" and read. I read 2 threads suggesting move to sd, but I did not see any move to internal.

In 4.4 janice/codina ROMs, there's the flag dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only=1 as default in build.prop (yeah it's named dalvik but doesn't matter what runtime are you using). This means that data partition contains user apps' classes.dex+system apps' (including gapps, more complete gapps package=heavier=more space occupied+more dalvik cache) classes.dex, where as default is data partition=user apps' classes.dex/cache partition=system apps' classes.dex
For example:
40~50 (maybe more) apps installed (including their classes.dex) 1.8~1.9 GB
25 apps installed+that flag in build.prop = out of memory
Just in case: classes.dex = ART/dalvik cache-executable

Hi
Not sure if anyone is still looking at this forum but here goes.
Can anyone tell me why my GT-N7000 keeps reporting "Storage space running out" when there seems to be a fair bit of space left according to Windows Explorer?
Card
4.73 GB free of 29.7 GB
Phone
8.76 GB free of 10.9 GB
I tried deleting a few apps but this made no difference. Today I uninstalled an app and then tried to re-install it but the system told me there was insufficient space.
Trevor
Check the data storage space... The one that's about 1.97 GB. That's where the apps get stored.

Thanks for the reply.
Can you be a bit more specific about where I would look for the data storage space? Also, how do we know that the folder would be about that size?
Trevor
Settings storage.. If the space is running out then you will need to delete some apps or repartition.
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.
