The other day I noticed that I was getting close to filling up my phone's storage and so I decided to copy all photos and videos to my PC via a USB cable. I basically "Cut" the data and "Pasted" it in a folder on my PC.
Obviously the photos and videos are now gone and removed from my phone, however the free space did not increase. In fact it stayed exactly the same and I moved several Gigs worth of data from my phone.
I also made 2 x screenshots(Please see below) which highlights my problem in more detail. You will notice that the Miscellaneous file shows 15.86GB , but when you open the "Miscellaneous file" section, the items listed combined space does not even get close too that.
I only have 800 MB free (in Settings -> General -> About) but iTunes tells me I have 3.9 GB. If i remove the phone and then reconnect, iTunes will then show me 800 MB (0.8 GB) I just reproduced the problem by simply going into the apps tab and moving an app to a different folder. My free space immediately changes from 0.8 GB to 3.9 GB. What's going on ?
I use my s2 as a storage device to transfer files between home and work but the free space on my usb storage seems to be lower than it should be.The total space says 11.50gb and between pictures, audio and downloads etc its says i am using 3.19gb but it lists my free space at 3.67gb so where is the missing 4.64gb? If i recall i used to have over 6gb of free space so im not sure why this has dropped. I havent added any more files since then because once ive transfered my files between home and work i delete them.
So, I had about 9 gig worth of files (pics/video) in the Private Folder using the Privacy mode on my S5. I wanted that space back, so I moved the files out of privacy mode to another location, then deleted them.
However, the stupid phone is still reserving that 9 gig worth of space in that folder. It shows as "other" in the "my file" and es browser app and when I plug the thing into a computer, windows shows that the private "disk" has 9 gig of used space, even though it is empty.
I have an iPhone 4S. At the beginning of today, it had about 4.5 GB free out of 13.6. It's around 8 pm, and it randomly gives me a message saying that the space is almost full. I go to the Settings and it says I have less than a GB of free space and 13 used. I didn't add anything. This is definitely incorrect. How do I fix it?
using an app tells you to "free up space on your device to continue" but you have already verified there is enough space on your device than needed by the app (17 gigs free).
I have a JB'd 3GS 32GB (via Blackra1n) and it's been perfect for a while now.All of a sudden yesterday I added a few tracks and this morning I get a message that there is no space available. There was 9GB of free space available the day before today. I went into the "about" area and it says 0 bytes available?
Any way to restore back my space? I don't really want to re-jail break it, it's too customized.
I tried to download the garageband update v. 1.2 on my iphone 4s, but i only got a message that says I don't have enough free space.I tried to reinstall the app, but no luck. The app is about 800mb and i have about 1,5gb left on the phone.
Yesterday I made a back up of my iPhone and then I rebooted it. Before restoring I had all my song and photos on the phone - they occupied almost the whole memory. But now I can't sync my music beacuse it says the isn't space enough: it needs 2 gb!
I have a iphone 5 IOS 8.1.1 and I don't know how to free up memory. I have tried erasing individual messages, but no change in the memory ratio... what to do...
All of a sudden I have 0 bytes free space, and barely use my phone. When I go into application storage it lists 273.3 mb system, 53.9 mb apps, 216.6 mb other, how do i find out what "other" is and delete what I don't need?
i am having with my 3G[S]. I have 277mb of free space and im trying to download a couple games/apps. And when I go to download a game or something it claims I do not have enough free space. I know the game is only like 90mb, and i have 277 free. So why is it saying I dont have enough space and that I should start removing apps and photos and what not?
I backed up all my photos from my Camera Roll onto iCloud, I want to delete them all on my phone for more space. If I delete them now, will they also be deleted from my iCloud storage, or will they still be available there?
My phone comes with 16gb on board, I have had it for 14 months. I checked it and my apps are only using about 1.0gb, with data downloads, pictures and so on the phone say it's only using about 4gb but the rest of it says other 11.5gb. I cleaned the internet history, catch files, all calls in the log, and so on. I can't find what is burning up all my storage space. Is there some hidden stuff somewhere I have to clear or something. I had this problems like last month and deleted like 4 apps so I gained about 1gb, but the phone filled it up with something.
So I have a 16GB Galaxy s5 and am down to 1GB of free space, though it's been less than that before and prevented updates. I thought the problem would be pictures and videos but it turns out 3GB are being used for contact storage, this is absurd because I only have 236 contacts. I do have it connected to my FB so I have contact photos on most, but that still seems like a ridiculous amount of space. I've had the phone for about a year and I clear cached data regularly because of the space issue. What do I do? Do I need to delete the contact photos? And if so how? Is there some sort of cloud storage I could use to get the data off my phone?
I recently switched from a BlackBerry Z30 to the unlocked Lumia 950 Dual-SIM. I have been slowly moving things over and so far it has been working out OK until last night. That's when I tried to pair my 950 with my 2010 Toyota Prius. No matter what I do, it only reports "Connected Voice" but no music.
I was able to Bluetooth connect and stream music on my Z30, Z10, and my wife's iPhone 4 and 6, so I don't think this is an issue with my car. I looked around online and in the forums and saw others reporting issues with 8.1 and a couple with 10, but there really wasn't a fix that I could see that applied to my situation.
I'm having a problem with 5800XM and Windows7. Firstly it suddenly started to show phone as Portable Media Player in My Computer. And then it shows that both Phone Memory and Memory Card have 0 btes of free space left. I have tried copying files to memory card, but it won't allow me.
I have always been careful that whenever I have loaded a new app onto my Nokia 5800 that I have chosen to load it onto my 8GB memory card in the phone but now I am greeted in the phones file manger that c: only has 1.5mb memory left! and the other day I even got a message that drice c was full even though I was loading an app to the SD card in the phone - If I go through the file manger to C: there are folders but are empty, and if I used another app such as y browser or xplore - I find files on c but cannot delete them (presumably because nokia has locked them so they cannot be removed or because they are system files) so is there anything I can do? - I don't really want to go down the route of doing a full reset/format of the phone if I can avoid it.
I have recently upgraded from a 8520 to 9300 and Im having problems with the application memory free space. I only have 55.1MB of free space and I cant download apps in app world cos it uses up all the free space. My space has been as low as 6.1MB. This is my 2nd phone from Virgin as I had the problem with the 1st 9300 and I had to send it back and they said that it was a problem that cant be fixed so they sent me a reconditioned phone but this phone seems to have the same problem too.
I have a 4gb media card installed to save all my pics and music onto.
I keep deleting apps and it keeps giving me the message that my storage is almost full. I have gone through and deleted everything I can think of besides my pictures and music but it isn't changing anything.
Recently I have been getting low application data free space messages on my balckberry bold 9700. I have upgraded the OS to version 6.0 bundle 2115. There are not much third party applications on my phone. From the application management screen I am seeing the OS taking up approximatey 127MB and the combined storage used by the third party applications I have running on my phone is approximately 50MB. However, I am seeing that there is only 7MB free out of 250MB of application data space.I suspect that the old OS is still stored on my phone in some system folders. Where can I find these files? and how can I troubleshoot this further?
SD card was getting a little full so I deleted all my music from it. That space is still not free, but the music isn't there either. I've tried accessing the card via Terminal and couldn't find anything there either. I'm down to 262 KB remaining on a 16GB card that has almost no media on it..
Sometimes when I update an app and it tries to install, it says not enough space. This happened a lot before the 875 update, was fixed, and now is a problem again with the 902 update. My phone has 4 GB space free and yet this message still pops up. Most of the time if i just hit update on the app again, it will work, but its annoying when you need to re-download a 40 MB app.
I want to delete a few videos from my phone in order to free up space. I went to my photos app, i clicked on albums, clicked on videos, and i even selected them, but my garbage icon is not highlighted, not letting me delete videos. I cannot access them from my videos app. How do i delete them?
