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_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"
}
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.
Porn...guaranteed you have filled up your phone with porn
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.

Whenever I want to share something in the Gallery, I'm often wanting to push it to Facebook and my stupid share list has grown so large I can't even see Facebook in the list anymore. Yes, Tweetdeck might could work, although it's great for quick views it's missing a lot of stuff the Facebook app itself has.

Anyone ever seen a way to limit this list, except removing apps? I don't use several of them often, and don't want to send a jpg into most of them, but I don't know of any way to change it.
I assume what shows here is all apps which can receive a jpg.. If I clear the Gallery settings, I believe this list shrinks for a while but before long the apps are all back in the list.
I have the same thing, although at least my Facebook is reachable. No idea what's even off the top of the screen lol

I removed a few apps and now I see Facebook, but.. Bleh... I think it must put them in the order they enumerate, I recall at one point thinking if I ran Facebook first or last, maybe it'd stay at the bottom of the list where I could reach it.
Might sort them top-down as most-used... Awesome
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_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?
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!
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_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
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.

Hello,
For some time I have been facing some problems on my device, OnePlus 10 Pro (NE2215). I don't know if this is a default behavior of the device or if it could be some configuration.
Case 1:
For example: When I open the AliExpress application, search for an item, click on one and return with the gesture, it should return to my search, but it turns out that it returns to the AliExpress homepage. This is too bad, because I always have to perform the search again. I don't know if I made myself clear, but this problem doesn't happen on my girlfriend's Iphone. When I go back a step, it always goes back to the previous one and not to the first operation I did.
Obs1: I attached the prints of the transitions so that it is clearer to understand.

Case 2:
In addition, whenever I do that command to view how many applications I have open and I select the application I want to use, the software always reloads the application and does not keep it where it was. A good example for this case is when I open the bank application and access the credit card session, for example. When I leave the app open in the background, I open some other app and go back to the bank app again, it reloads the app and goes back to accessing the app. It doesn't keep the app loaded in the session where I was.
Obs2: I didn't put pictures, but I believe it was clear what happens.
#2 I know has been discussed here previously. This phone has an aggressive RAM cleaning and does not like background apps. You can actually make it store more if you add the swap, i.e. give your phone the "additional" 8GB of RAM in settings from storage. But this is only a bandaid solution. Iirc you can slso change some SeLinux permissions to alleviate the issue if you're savy.
#1, idk. I've had some unique behaviors myself on OOS. For example the Dasher app is absolutely terrible.
