I have stock EVA-L09C432B391 build number
On my clean device I have only 21.2 GB out of 32 GB free space
According to Settings -> Memory and Storage, firmware takes 6.92 GB, Apps take 796 MB, Cached Data takes 25.31 MB, and Other take 51.52 MB, so the sum gives about 7.8 GB, so I should have about 24.2 GB free space left, but I have only 21.2 GB
SO where did the remaining 3 GB go?
I heard that the clean P9 should have about 25 GB space left for the user
I was recently doing a lot of updates using Firmware Finder, so I'm guessing that maybe there are some leftover update packages somewhere?
I tried wiping partition cache but it didn't help

Try using the cleanup function of the phone manager, or use, after you did the clean up, the storage manager option, there you can delete big files and hopefully your left over roms

I did this and still no success
I also tried uninstalling the Firmware Finder and no success either
I tried various methods, but no app can find these 3 GB files

Ok. so i calculated my storage to and it was also 3 GB off! I'm guessing that these are some files hidden from the user and not showing, but still a part of the operating system (for example it could be an other partition).

32 GB Internal Memory includes also invisible system partitions you could see only on the rooted phone or from TWRP (if you flash it)

I keep getting a persistant low storage notification. It persists even after switching roms as soon as I restore all of my apps. In settings it shows that I have about 1 gb free. However, many of my apps are on the sd card and the phone will not allow me to move them to primary storage because it says I don't have any free storage on the device.
What's going on here? How can I fix it?
Are you on CM7 or 9? Both of these put their application data in a smaller partition than the Samsung ROMs for speed reasons, but you can run out of space much more easily. Download a cache cleaner from the market, clear out all of your application caches, and see if that resolves the issue.
Also, move movable apps to sd card

I believe AOSP ROMs are the same. Clear caches and move apps to SD.

I'm getting the same message just recently and I too have over 1 gb phone storage left... so is this number wrong? I understand what u mean about apps on smaller partition but does that mean it actually smaller then the 2gb space? I'm on cm9. Sgsics 4.0.3 rc 4.2
So even though I have over 1.2 gb of phone storage left and over 8 gb of USB storage left I should still be installing on ext SD? And or cache cleaner? Is there way to find out how much app storage space I get on these roms? I'm only using 743mb thus far. Does this mean I will run out soon even though it says I have lots of room left?
Thanks

As I understand it, it's not that it is a wrong number so much as an incomplete one. The apps are installed there, but their cache, settings, databases, etc actually live in data/data for performance reasons. This is the partition that is actually full. You can check the available space with a terminal emulator by typing "df datadata" (without the quotes, of course."
This is why clearing app caches usually helps.

Hi i have the same problem. I have 1,5 GB free for the internal storage but running "df datadata" command reveal partition seized 172 MB used 161 MB free 10MB ...
How can i fix this? I also have 32GB SD card completely FREE
I moved some apps to SD card but that does not free up space. Is there a way to resize this partition?
Hello!
I've installed a SlimKat rom (4.4.2), and I've installed two apps, both 30MB, and now I can't install any app, because it says: "Not enough memory". I've noticed on applications, that only 1,8GB is used, and 200MB is free. And now, there is a question: How to increase this memory, if the phone has internal 16 GB of memory, to make apps use more of it, like from this 2GB to 4GB or sth. On previous ROM's that I've installed I had the same problem, but it was like 300mb available, and I was able to move some apps to SD card, but not every app is movable, so plese, help me increase this available memory for applications.
Thanks.

Data /data 35mb that are needed, logs empty. Its a fresh ROM, installed after full whipe, no unwanted files found SO far, but i don't know what uses this 1.8 gigs of memory...
Use SD maid to scan files.. It should show some info you need.
I did data whipe and installed ROM again, now it's ok. Dunno what used this 1.8 gigs of memory.
Hi. 2 weeks ago, I updated my i9295 to the official 5.0.1 update. Upon checking the internal storage, I notice something strange with the amount of space used. Thinking that there are some files from CM12 that have not been deleted yet, I decided to factory restore my phone. However, after restoring all my apps and data, the issue still persists.
From the screenshots attached below, it says that the Used Space takes 4.60 GB. Clicking on that, I'm presented with a more specific breakdown. However, if I were to add everything, it only amounts to 1.28 GB. Same thing applies to the Miscellaneous Files; it says that it takes 4.39 GB but adding the size of every file, it totals to just 2.52 GB. How can I know what files are in the unaccounted 5.19 GB?
Hey
I just flashed stock sense RUU over GPE and realised that even after flashing RUU about 1.2 Gb of space is been taken by something which i cant locate when connected to the computer. Also during the first boot the optimising app window showed almost 250 apps. Is there anything i can do to gain access to full mtp storage of approx 25 GB?
right now i am getting 24.2 GB free of 25.4 GB with absolutely nothing installed after newly flashed RUU.
Storage section in settings says: 1.18 GB for Apps, 6.91 GB for Others.
What i have tried?:
Reseting phone from settings menu.
Factory reset phone from recovery.
Wiping Cache from recovery.

I have a question about other files in storage. I received this phone from my brother. It was formatted from the recovery (data wiped). I installed my account and all is right except for an equipped space of more than 1GB in other files. I remember when my brother was using the phone, other files was 0 Kb. I have no backup stored to the cloud or whatsoever. I did several factory reset with no luck. It pisses me off that 1 GB is being used without any reason keeping in mind it's only 25 GB out of the box storage for 32 GB rom.
Any ideas how to get rid of the other files.?

On my MIUI 9.5 "other files" consist of:
- dalvik cache (not the app cache)
- hidden twrp backup files
- archive files like zip, tgz, etc.
The definition of "other files" may depend on MIUI version and perhaps your brother was using a different one, hence 0kb for him and 1GB for you, while there was no real difference.
To find exact storage use you need an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage
However it will reveal many more details if you root your phone.
Incidentally, my Dalvik cache is 0.9GB and one can not get rid of it as it is an essential part of Android OS.
