To begin with, I tried searching forum for similar threads, found one that was asked on 2009.
So I hope its not against the rules if I ask here.
My Z3C is in constant low storage mode. If I manage to free ups few MB it is back again. I dont have that many app installed. I would say I have less than average.
I think mostly its cache that takes lots of space. For example com.android.vending takes 2.2GB That I have no idea why and what for.
Spotify is 1.5GB but I know why (music downloads).
Tried Drive Storage Analyzer that showed me what where but it was not able to free some space.
I went through app and tried clearing that cache/data manually but it seems like futile work. Photos are already stored on SD card same as non essential apps.
Is there reliable app that would help me out? Or another way?

com.android.vending is the Google Play Store, might want to try to clear all data + cache of the Play Store.
Also, the facebook app eats a big chunk, probably tons of stuff cached inside the app. Clear that too.
Are you rooted or not? Might want to try SD Maid, it can free up some space
easiest way to clear that problem would be a factory reset, as that would eliminate every data + cache on the device. Gotta backup first though!

I have 76MB+ free internal storage, and 61MB free in System ROM storage. I've been thinking to move my widgets(Fancy Widgets, Android Pro Widgets) and launcher to System ROM storage. Is it safe to move 'em there? Or it will makes my phone slow(due to low space on system ROM)?
Try it out, I don´t think that it´ll be slower.

hold the desired app, then choose convert to system app
But this will only work with the Pro version, otherwise it´ll ask you to buy the Pro version.
Yeah, the options is available in PRO version.
btt: I've tried to move several apps to system partition, guess what. I faced several FC(LP Sense UI), and unresponsive Handcent SMS. looks like it lags the phone. Even lockscreen is lag, gotta wait for few seconds to view the lockscreen(from screen off).
Push the app u want to system/app with root explorer

Hello, this is really bugging me, I was hoping to have 8GB memory for apps and 32GB on my SD for obb's and stuff like that but Android 4.4 has the useless virtual SD card feature so the internal storage quickly fills up.
As far as I know, there is no app in the Google Play store that installs itself on the external SD card. But I read that you can copy the maps from TomTom to the external SD card to the Android/data/ folder. So I did that and it worked, freeing up allmost 3gb of internal storage space on my phone (Good news till here). But with the time the internal storage filled up and I reached a moment that I couldn't even update any app because Android was telling me that I don't have enough space. I looked in Settings > Storage and there was still 600MB free internal space, but the Applications bar was overflowing the graph as if there were no more space left.
Here is a screen shot [Note: Apps are taking more space than internal space is available?]:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I guess that this is what is causing the wrong "Not enough space" message. Clearing the cache from Google Services and Google Play Store sometimes helps if there is still more than 600 MB left, but now I'm completely stuck with 480MB and I cannot even update a 6MB app.
Does somebody know how to fix this? Is it me or every new Android version that comes out is just a worse better looking crap..?
Greetings.
INFO: I haven't rooted anything on my phone so everything is just stock.
I'm facing a problem with my storage space. Using the app "Disk Usage" I've found the following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This enormous amount of memory used for "system data" isn't explicable. And I'm not been able to find a folder with a content to delete (of course I do have root access)
My first attempt was to delete a TWRP backup, whit actually worked, in part, since the original size of this partition was more than 14gb!
But I'm not finding the origins of the rest.
Somebody have already experienced it?
What could be the solution?
Same here. I don't know what is system data, I suspect some hidden files/folders, ex. thumbnails for gallery.
What size phone do you have? My 16gb has 5.8gb of system data, only 10.2gb available.

We're talking about sdcard storage as you can see in screenshot above.
Oops
I'm thinking that it maybe related with this:
I'm having a similar issue, except my system data is showing 16728MB, more than double the OP. I never had any storage issue before the latest 5.1 update so I thought maybe it was some temp files from the update so I cleared the /cache partition but that didn't help at all. Anyone else seeing excessively large system size?
On my S21 Ultra, I'm showing to be 98% full. when I go to look at storage, I see this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, nothing much is showing up as using that memory other than the "Other" area. How can I dig down into the "Other" area and see what's there that I can get rid of?
In the event that it makes a difference, the model number is SM-998U1; Android version 12; One UI versoin 4.0; Security patch level is Nov. 1, 2021.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Just about any File Explorer in Play Store will assist in identifying the files.

You got porn brain 4 sure!
Possibly items in secure folder. Let's say you have an app like telegram app in secure folder and it has been saving 100s of videos.
LOL!
Actually, I've used a couple of file managers, and I can see what's there, but it doesn't seem to add up. What I'd really like is a tool that would show me intalled apps, along with the amount of storage they're using, including their data and cache values.
Settings
Apps
Change sort order (Your apps .............. (sort icon))
Size
Lists apps in size order with size underneath. The size shown includes data/cache.
For example, my first one is Spotify 2.41GB which is mostly cache data as it keeps some songs on device
Thanks for that. I'll keep it in mind for later. Last night, I finally threw up my hands and factory reset my phone. I figure it'll take me about a week to get MOST of the things back the way I like them. In the meantime however, my storage is MUCH better than it was.
Hey guys,
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra and I have been trying to
clear the "Wifi Data Usage" statistics in the setting menu.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
It seems like there was someone that asked the same thing 8 years ago.
How can I delete/erase the data and wifi usage statistics on my device?
I checked all over the net, but could not find the answer to this. I want to know if there is a way to delete/erase the data usage and wifi usage that is saved to my device. My phone is not rooted, so I am really hoping I can do without rooting...
forum.xda-developers.com
However, this method seems outdated.
I found another method on the internet saying that I had to go into /data/system/netstats
and delete all the files there to clear the statistics.
However, I was not able to find any files to delete in the first place in this directory.
I've tried different file manager applications, including termux, to see if there were any files, but It was empty.
I'm in a situation where I have to frequently clear the statistics, so doing a factory reset every time is not a viable option.
I plead you, Android Wizards of the XDA Forum, please have sympathy for this lost soul and guide me to the truth.
Thank you
Settings menu has option to factory reset Network settings only.
You will have to enter wifi credentials etcetera again.
Hey any update on this?
I'm also looking for the same,
/data/system/netstats folder doesn't have any files to delete.
