I was going to root the phone just to remove the Bloatware. I was searching around XDA and found you can always just go to Application Manager and disable the app. This will take the app off your drawer and move it to the bottom of the list in Application Manager. If the application had an update you need to uninstall the update than disable it. This will not uninstall the application. I am not worried about storage since i have 16gig plus 8 gig Micro SD Card.

This looks like advanced usage of a stock phone. I'm curious as to how this qualifies as development.
no need to pile on. He already apologized.

How many apps do you have? There's a few gigs reserved for apps, isn't there?
Try clearing the Market's data in the manage apps menu, and try again. If that doesn't work, uninstall the apps you don't use!

How the hell did you fill up 2gb worth of app storage already? Damn
Impressive that you filled it up already. I think I have 70 apps and I still have 1.35gb left.

Unless specified other in the phone storage options :
Your pictures should go to the /sdcard/dcim
Your micro SD card files are located in the folder: /sdcard/ext_sd/

I found a solution and made a thread here. I haven't tested it on our device yet but I believe it should work.
It looks promising though and it does address these issues.
You can go into settings>apps, and move some of the apps (internal storage), to phone storage (sd1 10gb). Basically I have around 12 GB to work with if I move stuff around.

Use the Site search and you'll find dozens of threads on it, and search for App called Directory Bind because that's what you need if your phone's Rooted.

If you're not rooted then you're out of luck.
Well... I would not call it out of luck because technically the Move-to-SD option is no longer necessary since the apps are already stored on the internal storage and no longer in their own small /data partition.

Hi
I'm just curious as to what methods people use to clean up their S3s? For example any folders that contain junk?
Also any tips, recommended apps etc?
Thanks in advance.

Here's what I tend to do every now and then (about once a month or so):
Clear call and messaging log, reset voice call duration (I do this at the beginning of each billing cycle).
Delete text message threads
Clear the browser cache and history
Clear cache on downloaded apps (mainly Facebook and Facebook Messenger).
Move pictures/videos from internal memory to external SD card using "My Files"
That's all I feel is really necessary and even then it's more of a "spring cleaning" thing than anything else, just to keep things organized. I don't download and uninstall a whole lot of apps or anything either, everything is pretty much set up the way I want it with the apps that I need.
i just look through a file manager for pointless files and delete them
Leave it as it is. Won't change the performance of your phone.
Thanks guys. Not really looking for performance improvements. Mainly general housekeeping and space saving. Obviously not to much of a problem now but was concerned about long term build up.

If i erase my internal SD card on with my pc, will my Phone still work?
I have around 3gb free of internal storage. How is everyone managing their storage? Are yall using any apps to delete cache files? Refer to the pic for what my storage looks like.

Not many big apps installed eh?
Install a couple big games and watch internal storage go bye-bye. So much for letting the OS do its thing.
I use DirectoryBind to redirect big apps to my sdcard. App isn't perfect, but it works.

Actually I thought I had a decent amount of apps installed. I have 16 games but I dont play the big ones usually since I hate most on screen controls. Thanks for the app though.

Some larger games have the option within the game itself; Bard's Tale for example. The option was offered when downloading the 1.8 GB datafile. The game still partly installs to the internal sdcard.

How'd you get Miscellaneous files so low? I have system memory in miscellaneous files. That can't be moved can it?
Not sure, but it may be because I am on Sprint and have android 4.1.1. If you notice, my 16 GB internal memory is reported as 10.95 GB. The other screenshots from VZW report the full 16 GB.

Hi! I found in the internet a programm for windows that is called Moborobo and i notice that a can remove any app from my rooted SG3 from there. I am asking if this way is safe way to remove some of the apps that I do not want to my phone.
Never heard of it. Freeze apps with titanium. Its safe as you can unfreeze if you did bad.
There's a sticky here somewhere about what is safe to remove

Yes I saw the threat about these apps. I found moborobo in a threat in xda and I manage to root a tablet of a friend that was from China! So I play with that and I saw that I can remove any app I want from my pc if my phone is rooted. I will check it now. If I see that everything is ok I will post a new threat for it.
Hope my sg3 can get through of it LOL
Ok. Ignore my advice then
