mysterious low storage notification

[NNW]

Hello All.

I'm new to Android Central Forums, but I did search past posts before starting this thread. I just didn't find a similar problem.

I generally fill up the external SD card with videos, music, and epubs; so I'm not usually worried when the low storage notification shows up. After some cursory cleaning, I noticed that the low storage space was on the INTERNAL SD card. Using ES File Explorer's SD Card Analyst, I found two directories filled with media.

1. data\com.google.android.apps.docs\files\pinned_docs_files_do_not_edit\4569e48a304a0df97513e8b31df01bb
2. data\com.google.android.music\files\music

One had a 1.4GB mp4 of Spiderman and the other had 978MB of mp3's (174 of them). Now the movie and music were all mine, so I'll take responsibly for copying them, but how the heck did they get there? I ONLY put media on the external card for this very reason. If I didn't have ES File Explorer (or something similar, like DiskUsage), I'd have never find the problem.

My phone is a rooted Motorola Droid Bionic, Android 4.0.4, but "feels" more like an Android/Google problem than a Motorola/Bionic one. In fact, I suspect Google's Play is to blame, considering the directories they were in. Could Google be caching files? Almost 2.5GB of files, without telling me? Regardless, does anyone know how I can stop this (besides periodically checking and deleting)?

Your's truely,

NNW

I am not very sure, but it looks like data from Google music app and Google docs or Google drive app. In my phone both of these cannot be moved to sd card. And the internal storage is partitioned, like it is 4gb for my karbonn a15 but only 512 mb is allocated to apps. This causes problems.
Normal media files generally don't move from sd card to the internal storage..
