[Q] Critical Storage memory with nothing in it a t all!PLS help!

Hello Everyone!
I'm experiencing an issue with my touch Diamond.
Usually, I put nothing on my storage memory, I put all my data on the Internal storage.so, there should be nthing on the system storage, what means there should be at least 40MBs free outta the 85.but I still get the "Storage memory critically low" message, and all the memory in the storage disappears!
when I connect my device to the PC via ActiveSync, and look up the my device folder (not the 4gb internal), it says I've got no memory free,but when I go into there, select all my files and click "properties",it says theres only 40mbs of data on it, still the 85mb system storage is full!I've tried everything:registry cleaning, removing all the programs, cleaning Opera cache and e-mail attachments, too, still nothing helps but a ROM update!after that everythings OK (for a while), and then starts all over again after a few weeks,and I don't wanna spend every 3rd week with reinstalling the ROM and set all the settings back (yeah I have the backup but still annoying to update ROM every month....:S)
Please,anybody, HELP!!!!

Something that might point you in the right direction ... when you select all the files and check the size, hidden files won't be included. Make sure you have explorer set to show hidden files and system files, or use something like total commander to find them.
Once you find out what is really taking up all the space, hopefully it will lead you to the solution. Sorry I can't suggest something more specific.

I realise this wouldn't help the original poster, but I'm posting this in case it helps others in a similar situation.
Today, for the first time, I got the dreaded 'you are running out of memory' warning and, sure enough, I only had 2MB left on the Storage partition. I only ever install apps to the 4GB Internal Storage partition and all that so there's really no reason why this should've been happening. What tipped me off to the solution was the fact that the only app I'd been using at the time was Opera. So, I tried clearing the Opera cache and, despite the fact it's set to only use 4MB of space, clearing it out reclaimed about 25MB of space in the Storage partition.
So, it would seem there's a bit of a bug there in Opera and I'd advise anyone having storage space issues to try that no matter how little space Opera might claim that it's cache is taking up.

You're a star...!
I couldn't work out why I had lost so much device storage space either...
Just regained a whole 9MB
Not a hell of a lot, but sure explained half of my problem...!

I ran out of memory - now WM wont load
I had those critical memory messages. did a hard reset, and now my diamond won't restart. it hangs on the windows mobile 6.1 screen.
any tips?
I can get into bootloader mode. is my only option to flash a new ROM?
tks.

With the latest SKTools (if you don't wanna edit the registry) it's easy to move the Opera cache to the internal 4 gig storage instead.

[Q] My Internal Memory Is Disappearing And I Don't Know Why?

First about my phone, It's a Sprint CDMA Hero rooted and running Damages 2.09.1 rom. I have a 16gig card in it and the phone really works well.
Now my problem..........
My internal memory has a parasite that is slowly eating it away. I have figured out that when internal memory gets below 16MB it turns on the little warning in the status bar. So this is how I'm checking my internal memory so everyone that takes their time to respond to me is using the same method. I go to Settings> SD&Phone Storage, at the bottom of the screen that comes up is the "Internal Phone Storage" Available space and mine says 15.84MB. Today I installed a highly rated memory manager from the Market and it didn't help at all. So my first question is How much "internal Phone Storage" do you have left?
Now my second question is when you go to Settings> Applications> Manage Applications> and scroll way down to "Mail - HTC Corporation" and click on that. Now look at the storage. Mine says 15.64 MB Total. Which breaks down there to Application 2.59MB and Data at 13.05MB. Clearly my Mail program is holding the biggest chunk of memory. But I want to know how this compares to everyone else's. If this is true then it would account for the parasitic growth or loss of my memory.
So if I'm way different then this will start a good discussion on what to do about this problem. Just let me say at this point that I delete all email once I have read it. I delete the sent, draft and Trash folders too. I also go into the SD Card and delete everything that is in the .Mail folder. So if my phone is storing old email now I have to fine out where and delete it.........
Also I constantly clear out the various cache's that the phone has too. But this memory is slowly going away. Any help would be appreciated very much.
I also appreciate everyone weighing in on this perplexing problem.
Thanks for your help and comments.........

You can try clearing data for mail. If you don't want to reset up your accounts, back up mail account settings with titanium backup and restore afterwards. Also, consider using apps2sd, and storage is a non issue.

How do I clear out the "mail data"? I have looked for that data and can't find it. If you could tell me where that data us located I would clear it NOW!
Also I will look into that apps2sd now also.
Thanks for your help......

you are confusing storage (like a Hard Drive) and RAM (memory)... the memory manager only helps keep unneeded programs from running in the background it will not free up space on the internal 'hard drive'
you could also 'upgrade' to CyanogenMod 6 as Android 2.2 natively supports putting apps on the SD card.

You 'clear data' in the same place you 'clear cache', which you said you know how to do above. Its in the manage apps menu.

Well how do I clear space on my internal "hard drive"? How do I clear mail data which seems to be hogging my memory?
Houston we have a problem and don't know how to fix it....

Yyou go to the same place we told you before. Settings, applications, manage, then view all and sort by size. Then you will see what's taking up space. You can go into it there and clear data. If you are rooted, download cachecleaner and run it. If none of that helps then you either have to start uninstalling apps you don't use or you've done something that is affecting your storage space and you need to probably do a wipe/reflash.

Well my Mail App or rather the stock HTC Mail app is the growing hog. When I go in to "Manage Applications" all I can clear is the Cache and NOT the data that is so big. I just don't get this. My memory, as I said has a parasite that is growing and eating memory. I'm right on the ragged edge of the flagged warning coming up about "low memory".
Here is a radical idea. Can I go in to the system> app folder and copy and save the HTC Mail apk and then delete the file and hopefully the entire Mail program from my phone. Reboot and then reinstall the HTC Mail apk and run it to reinstall it and then reset up my email? It's definitely the Mail application that is growing and I don't know why. It's saving mail somewhere...........
Also I downloaded and installed the Cacheclean program and ran it. It said all my cache was already clean so it proves I have been diligent about keeping what I can clean................
All help and idea's are appreciated.

that's not what that means. that means either superuser permissions is not working properly, or you've lost root on your phone, or something related to busybox, per the app developer. believe me, i've ran into that application telling me the same thing multiple times. you could never keep cache that clean on your phone unless you never used it.

Well the cache cleaner isn't working. I checked the SU program and the cache cleaner is not listed there so I guess its not working. Busybox and SU are working for titanium so the cache cleaner is a dive.
Oh well I get A for effort. I'll just use this lousy hero till it runs put of memory and I guess get a better phone like a LG or Droid.......

Or when it's no longer functional you can run the ruu and see if that fixes anything

The htc mail app has a bug where the mail doesnt get deleted even when you empty the trash. Its stored somewhere hidden on the internal memory. Also if you sync mail for more than 3 days it seems to cause memory issues as well.
Best bet is to use the K9 mail app. It will allow you to keep things clean.
Now 13+ megs should not be causing an issue so obviously you have a decent amount of apps installed as well. Id recommend running the a2sd to keep your internal clean.

I am following through as I alway do to thank you all for your help and tell you how I resolved the problem. I received some great advice from everyone and the last tip, which is usually my luck was the best.
The bottom line someone questioned why I thought I lost root. I explained what was going on and the best and final suggestion was to down load the latest Superuser.apk and flash through "recovery". Yes I had to ask exactly what that meant but I followed the directions and did it. Problem solved. I had SU working on my phone for Root Explorer and Titanium Backup. Then I downloaded Cachecleaner and it worked this time perfectly and it found 25MB of junk on my phone and cleared it out. So now I'm running 40MB of internal memory with all my programs working rather snappy now. In my estimation I screwed up the SU with the memory manager that was recommended somewhere along the line. When it didn't do anything for me I uninstalled it and I think my SU went with it. But the phone is fixed and I want to thank you all for your time in responding to my problem and requests. Sometimes multiple............
Thanks again.....

[Q] All available space disappearing ( AllianceROM Galaxy Note GT-N7000)

Hi all. Today i started experiencing a very peculiar problem. I opened the Camera app and got a message: "Not enough memory". I had some megabytes left actually, but i checked Settings>Storage and it didn't report any available space. I deleted some files (~169 MB). Storage then showed 169 MB of free space. I opened Camera again, same problem. Went to Settings>Storage, 0 space available. Deleted more files(34 MB). Free space 34 MB. Open Camera, same message. Check Storage, no space available. (Settings>Storage Only shows Pictures, video; Audio; Download; Miscellaneous files. Available space is not even shown, but the USB storage bar has a grey part)
My phone is GT-N7000 running on AllianceROM ICS Final, I've been on this ROM for about a month. If more technical information is needed for your answer, just ask.
I have tried: rebooting, clearing data and cache of Camera and Gallery, wiping cache partition.
Any solutions for this problem?
Thanks for your answers in advance!
P.S. Sorry if this question was asked already elsewhere, I wasn't able to find any useful information.

Download an app that will show you what is taking up so much space, just have a look in google play

Also check your data/log file. Delete if lot of memory used there.

So... I deleted 400 more megabytes, and then I got 200 MB free space. If this space doesn't disappear, the problem is gone, I guess. All of this was very strange.
Thanks for the support anyway.

New S6 playstore error "insuffient space" with 30gb free

Hi guys, I have a brand new Galaxy S6 and started downloading my applications from the playstore. After a dozen applications (not games) I got the error "There is insufficient space on the device". I went to the storage and it says my apps take 1.34GB and 30GB available. Why is it doing this? I cleared the cache and online searches result in the obvious, clearing used space. This is a brand new phone, there is nothing on it yet. Did anyone bump into this problem?

Still can't find the solution but I uninstalled what apps I installed and installed "storage truth" which told me my /data partition was 1.9GB and full. That seems like a tiny fraction of the 32GB that is allotted for applications, and not to mention most of the space is taken up by Samsung apps. Any chance anyone can check their /data partition size using "storage truth"? It might be a glitch, might have to get it repaired

Had this before .have you tried clearing the data for playstore app in application manager

"System Data" storage

Hey everyone. I have Moto X2 1095 Pure Edition. Storage 16GB, but 5.79 OS Android, left 10,21GB
when i download a big game from play store, and then delete, i do check my storage with "DiskUsage" green program, system data sometimes going to 3gb-4gb. even if i delete example "obb" files, but system data stays same.
solution is Restart my phone, and system data storage is about 1GB. what is "system data" and why it has so big memory? example, if game is 1-2GB, system data is also same and more. that means my phone uses double storage? when i do factory data reset from settings, there was free 9,6GB, 200MB from apps, and 400MB from again "system data". full storage is 10,21
what is that i do not understand, i have also tablet, i downloaded many games, applications and etc, system data storage is only 682MB

no one has answer? someone reply what happens, why there is almost double storage on "system data"? when i restart phone, reduces space, but again it is high. example before restart 3gb, after restart 1gb
