Other SmartphonesHi! So my phone's had basically no storage for the last year or so, but over the last few months it's been so bad I've had to clear the cache every time I want to open a Samsung app. I've moved everything possible onto an SD card, but still the 16 GB internal storage has been mysteriously filled up by 15.9 GB of stuff. Today I found the breakdown of what's supposedly taking up all the space, and I'm really confused. It doesn't make sense!
If someone has any idea what's going on and what I can do about it, please help!
Thank you so much!

Other SmartphonesIt can certainly be a conundrum on how our phone's storage fills up sometimes not making full sense.
If this was my phone @LimeGreenCrocs I would consider in order....
Turn the phone Off and then from a set series of button presses go into the phone's system files and clear the system cache. No info is lost this way.
If this does not help then as a very last resort back up and remove any relevant Sd card and factory reset.
Just as a side note to anyone reaching this thread my recommendation is to choose a phone with as much storage space as you can afford as this section can soon fill up with what a phone collates over time.
And take into account that a good chunk of the storage space is taken up with the Android Os with some of it being gated off for future updates too.

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.
I'm here to help.

Other SmartphonesIt looks like your apps have alot of data or cache file in them go to Setting>apps and sort them by size. You may need to manually clear the cache for each app or clear the data if you dont use it often. If you have apps you dont use uninstall or disable them (if you disable an app make sure to clear its data also)
Hope this helps

Other SmartphonesI do have similar problem, however when using DiskUsage to find perpetrator, I found out, that internal memory mysteriously shrunk from 16 GB to 10 GB...
Now, that I'll try to find those missing 6 GB, but maybe there is someone who may have some idea, where I should look...
