Custom Build Version: TC_X444_SL_MAY_2017_V2762_01_FINAL
Carrier(?): TruConnect & T-Mobile

Please note; I did not purchase this phone but got it for free through government services. It can not be returned or exchanged to my knowledge.

Upon getting the phone, I downloaded much needed apps. Things I could never download and use from my original iTouch which was too old to download new apps.

This will mark probably the 7th time I've formatted the phone as currently it only has a whole 16 KB of space left.

The phone's overall storage is 2GB, with 1GB internal storage and 1GB phone storage.

The internal storage keeps maxing out, no matter what.

These pictures were taken a month ago:

I do not take or put pictures, videos, music or any files onto my phone.

Yes, I've already tried clearing app cache and yes I've already tried clearing partition cache.

A long while back, I used Kingoroot One-Click to try and uninstall some system apps. Even with root access and deleting useless stuff, my phone still kept maxing out. I have completely removed Kingoroot One-Click. I had no access to a computer at the time.

List of apps I have installed:

18.59 MB - Authenticator
21.84 MB - Authy
27.58 MB - Calendar
16.23 MB - CCleaner
15.81 MB - Discord
68.62 MB - GBoard
113.00 MB - Google Play Services
32.85 MB - Googe Play Store
90.29 MB - Maps
111.00 MB - Messenger
13.56 MB - Next
3.75 MB - QR Code Reader
6.74 MB - SafeInCloud
14.83 MB - Steam
17.42 MB - Translate

Uninstalling all my apps does not fix the issue. Sure, I get some space free but there is still a large chunk (700 MB) that is magically there in my internal storage.

A 2GB phone is from about 2010 . Today it's not really usable as a smartphone. As long as Contacts, Phone and Messages are working, that's about all you can hope for.
