Hello, so I have a phone with a 16GB microSD card in it along with its 8GB of memory. I wanted to download an app but it seemed I didn't have enough memory. I looked at my memory and this is what I saw (after some SD card transferring):

Total space
8.00 GB

Applications
3.48 GB (2.9 on device memory)

Pictures, videos
24.00 KB

Audio
2.96 MB

Downloads
1.59 MB

Cached data
153 MB

Miscellaneous files
4.42 GB?!

Available space
771 MB

I also have 14.07 GB of space on my SD if that helps.
In the Misc files area, it says 4.36 GB is in System Memory.
Other sites have said that this is bloatware from Verizon, but I was wondering if there's a way to clean some of this up?
 
This is what I found too... Went in and set my podcast app to auto delete older podcasts and miscellaneous files went from 37 GB to 14 GB.
Thanks!! I had not checked that. Turns out my Podcast Addict app was storing all podcasts in the phone, but in the settings menu I could move all files to my SD Card.
