Insufficient app storage space

[anon(8212032)]

Hi all,

So I'm getting a little desperate about the popup I'm getting every day: insufficient storage available. After trying many things and cleaning up my droid, I've started uninstalling apps, but nothing solves it. I have:

1. Rooted my phone and moved almost all apps to my external SD card using link2sd;
2. Cleaned cache, checked out residual files and other data using ES file explorer and SD maid;
3. Uninstalled many apps but instead I'm getting the warning at 60MB left free whereas I used to only get it at 10MB, it seems that uninstalling apps only makes it worse...

Here's the screenshot of my storage space. Notice that my internal memory is only around 300MB used (now it's even less since I've uninstalled many apps) - so two thirds of it are supposed to be free as it shows...???

I'd appreciate your help.

Anyone? Any idea? Where all the space goes?...

And this morning I already have only 9MB free, although nothing has been installed! 30MB disappeared!

updates keep using more space.

Thanks for the reply. But they don't show up. And my apps are on SD card.....

It's not the updates! Nothing has been updated today and cache is clean, and I went down from 9MB to 5MB left free!! What is this? Is it some log file that I cannot locate?

Anyone have any idea or the same problem? Should I try doing the factory reset as a last resort?

Any advice would be helpful...

So i did the factory reset with the sd card mounted. Hopefully that will fix the insufficient storage error. I'll let you know in case someone is also looking for the solution.

I've found the solution. System data had a huge dalvik cache folder and an enormous error log folder. The error logs were from crashed and non-responsive applications. So cleaned those using fx file browser and its root ad-on.

Hope that helps someone.

A good to app to use is DiskUsage. Draws a map of the disk showing the biggest folders etc! Very useful, can do most sdcard and system (requires root)
