my internal storage magically disappearing

[zakphi]

Okay, I know the title sounds strange and I don't really know how to explain this, but somehow my internal storage is decreasing. It started out with getting the low storage notification, I first removed apps that I don't use. That didn't work. I then moved my big apps to SD and that didn't work. I then checked my internal storage and its below 20mb. I have no idea how this is happening or what I can do to fix it. Please help. Anyone have any ideas?!?!?!?

Hi Zakphi...I'm having the same issue....did you you install Friendster recently? I've read since the last update, the contact storage space increased.

Yeah, I recently updated friendster. My problem was that I already had Facebook syncing with my contacts and I guess after I updated friendster, that app also synced with my contacts and doubled my contact storage. What I first did was remove sync for the Facebook app, restarted my phone. And that is when I saw my contact storage increase to like 125 MB. I then removed friendster, restarted my phone again and deleted my contact storage. And don't worry about losing your contacts, you will get them back the next time your phone syncs with your Google account. After my contact storage was gone, I restarted my phone again and everything was back to normal. You probably don't have to restart this many times, but its a habit I have from when I worked in IT. Hope this helps

Was the search function not working? http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g/90815-after-gb-im-permanently-low-space.html

It would help if everyone worked on the same thread instead of starting redundant ones. Thanks.

So...did you re-install friendccaster when you were done? If you did...how did you stop from it trying to sync again? Thanks!
