Uhhh strange storage issue

So I was going through and getting some of the free apps Amazon was offering, still downloading and I checked my storage, 800mb free or so, should clean up some space, but I decided to go to bed, now I have 2GB free! What happened?


I have rebooted, now its 2GB free, instead of like the 2.08GB free.

Re: Uhhh strange storage issue

Hello, after downloading the apps, it seemed the storage increased afterwards? Have you rebooted the phone to see if it might have been a glitch in the software?

Yes that is what happened it seems. I have a little bit more than 1GB free when I started, then it was down to 800mb when I went to bed, then I woke up and it was 2.08(?)GB, I rebooted and now its just a flat 2GB.

EDIT: Its now down to 1.93GB by itself, I think, maybe some apps updated.

Ah, good hypothesis. It could be that some of the apps you use change in total size. It might also involve the saved data/cache the apps had. That could of also been taking space.

Maybe, this is weird. It got down to like 1.63, and now its up to 1.75, and I have been taking up storage by just pushing some photos through Perfectly Clear for fun and quick enhancing. And finishing up the Amazon app sale. I never payed much attention to my storage, like seeing if it changed, this is strange, because I don't think this happened before, its usually been pretty steady.
