Welcome to Android Central! What do you mean by "crazy"? Is it only that you saw two drives when you connected it to the computer via USB and looked at Windows File Explorer?

Can you show us a screenshot of what you're talking about?

 

[kostopge]

yes youre right ,i didnt explain crazy . The clock was appearing to the screen without me clicking it and when i was opening whatsapp or telegram and tried to write sthing it was writing itself. Generally speaking taking action itself, initiative. Apart from the 2 drives can you tell me if the kernel i write to you is correct or normal????

Welcome to AC!

You didn't say what device your having the issue?

 

[kostopge]

its very old vodafone smart prime 6 Android 5.0.2 . if you cant answer the other questions just tell me what to do to gain space until i throw it away

That is very old especially in 2026

It's normal to see 2 disc storage one is internal storage other could be SD card .

The issue is that device probably has small storage to begin with and the system already takes up most of it so you probably be left with 200mb left and now if you have downloaded apps u be left with very little.

Google doesn't support today's apps on Android 5 so another issue you will encounter.

Factory reset it and see what happens and maybe moved apps data to an SD card (not recommended). If factory reset doesn't work then most likely internal memory worn out.

Otherwise use for calls even that not going be great.

Don't worry your not hacked although your Device is far from secure it outdated.

If no SD card most likely the other storage is Virtual/Media partition

i have done factory reset and it should be empty now , i have only whatsapp and telegram. BUT i have 100 MB. CAN i delete virtual partition if its that the problem?

No you can't then you need something newer with more internal storage.

Show us a screenshot from the computer where you see this 100 MB partition.

when i connected phone to the computer it showed 2 drives and i thought deleting one would solve the problem . with 2 drives it was full and now that i deleted virtual is still full.SO I DIDNT DELETE VIRTUAL

[kostopge]

now i have one drive i deleted the second """" virtual" thinking i gain space but nothing. The phone is empty and seems to be full

 

[mustang7757]

Could be old hardware failing.

Agree, I don't see anything wrong with those screenshots. That looks like normal partitions. And going forward if you think your phone has been hacked, connecting it to your computer is not the way to go. It does not look like it's hacked though. Just the old phone that needs to get replaced.
