LG Optimus L70 storage help. PLEASE!!

OK....I have moved alot of things to my external SD card. Question...When I go to my internal storage and open (ie) Downloads. Its showing that Im using 8.00KB of storage space, but when I open it, its empty. Same thing with my AUDIO.. its shows 8.00 KB but its empty. I moved everything I could to my SD card.
Also, What files under the MISC. folder can I safely remove.
I have moved alot of my APPS to my SD card also. So. I have open up alot of space... Then why am I still geteting the "storage space is runnning out"? I have emptied messages and email too. I also pluged my cell into my computer and removed most of the photos. It stilll did not get any additional internal stogage space freeded up.
Am I doing something wrong? I cant even download a file or get any current mail because I" HAVE NO SPACE". Any help would be great. I have looked at alot of the other questions and answers and have done most of the things suggested.. But I dont know what else I need to do .
THANKS... Crystle

Re: LG Optimus L70 storage help. PLEASE!!

Welcome to Android Central! 8 KB is nothing. It's probably just the amount of space taken up by a blank folder.

Moving apps to SD doesn't move the entire app--it's usually just a portion of the app, and often a small portion at that. Phones that come with low internal storage to begin with, like your phone, are always going to be limited in terms of app installations. You probably only have about 1 GB available to you out of the 4 GB advertised, after accounting for the OS and any other preinstalled bloatware. Apps these days are getting bigger and bigger, so sometimes it only takes a few apps to be installed before you start getting the low memory warnings.
