I'm having difficulties figuring out why my gallery is taking up so much space. I tried moving pictures to my sd card, and even if I didn't catch all folders there shouldn't be 2,4 gb pictures left. All my other applications only take up a reasonable amount of space, but this one I can't seem to fight.

And now i don't have enough free space to update the software.

Any suggestions? preferable ones that don't include rebooting to factory settings, I would like to avoid the hassle of making a backup of everything.

Thanks!

Welcome to Android Central! Maybe it's due to thumbnails. Use a file manager app and check the properties of the /DCIM/Camera/.thumbnails folder. How big is it?
