My S5 shows 1.27 GB available in the internal storage. I know I can move apps and files to my SD card, but I'm curious about freeing up internal space.
When I look at the storage in Windows Explorer it shows 1.24 GB free of 9.71 GB. The phone shows the following:
Total Space: 16.00 GB
System memory: 6.26 GB (I assume that's the difference between what the phone says is total space and what Explorer says).
Used space: 6.01 GB
Cached data: 447 MB
Miscellaneous files: 2.02 GB
I assume I can delete from Used and Miscellaneous, but looking at the various folders in Explorer they are either empty or the files are extremely small. I've already removed pictures and I don't have any music or videos stored internally. It could just be a lot of the stupid Samsung and Sprint bloatware taking up the space.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi!
I have a Colorfly e708 Q1 tablet
According to the specifications it should have 8GB storage...
According to the tablet's system’s settings/storage menu, it has two internal storages (one being 1.48GB, the other being 3.76GB)
Now, I was wondering whether the two internal storages, the sum of which is 5.24GB, equal 8GB what is written in the specifications?!?
5.24GB = 8GB ?
In the android system's settings/storage my tablet shows this (yes, two internal storages are shown here):
internal storage
total space 1.48GB
available 1.29GB
internal storage
total space 3.76GB
available 3.70GB
I presume this means, that the system and installed apps take up 0.19GB and 0.06GB (sum 0.25GB) space from TOTAL and the available is what is left for me to use.
Now then, DOES this tablet HAVE 8GB or NOT?
Or do I get it wrong? Does the android system take (8GB-5.3GB=) 2.7GB space (?!?), which is absolutely not visible nor manageable for me?!
Then what takes up the 0.25GB space? All the installed APPs seen in the tablet’s settings/applications menu use 188MB, I added them together
In the android system's settings/applications menu the tablet shows:
RAM 262MB used 479MB free (sum = 741MB; this should be 1GB according to the tablet's specifications... but at least this is near to 1GB)
internal storage 188MB used and 1.3GB free (sum = 1.48GB)
SD card storage 58MB used and 3.7GB free (sum = 3.76GB)
I don't have any external microSD inserted into the tablet, so the so called SD card storage is an internal storage as well, as the settings/storage menu showed earlier.
So in my opinion the 188MB and 58 MB (sum = 246MB = 0.25GB) is the space which the system and pre-installed apps used up.
Someone told me, that tablets like this one, have system restore partition, and other partitions I cannot see, without being rooted. OK, but if the whole system takes up 0.25GB, then why would such partitions need 2.7GB?!
Or where is 2.7GB?
I don't think that my other hypothesis, that the android system would use 2.7GB, is correct ... And also that situation would rise the question (for me) mentioned earlier: what is the 0.25GB?
Please help, because I'm thoroughly confused.
If I plug in the tablet to a PC, it sees only 3.7GB capacity.
In my opinion, (what I would call "storage space"), this tablet has only 3.76GB, that is cc 4GB storage . But mybe I'm not right... I don't know
PLEASE HELP!! I bought a tablet, that was declared to have 8GB capacity. Have I been deceived/cheated or not?
Hey guys,
I'll keep it short.
I am using about 5.7 GB of space on my internal storage although the ES directory analyzer shows about 4GB extra that I could not possibly find.
When I select all my files in on the internal storage ( incl. hidden files), and hit properties, it calculates 5.7 GB
I am enclosing some screenshots.
I have tried various storage analyzing apps and they all show the same.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
do you have root?
Try this app Disk Usage : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage
You can scan normal internal memory or with root the whole phone, this also shows root partitions which you normally can't access.
I can't install a large app . In storage settings says :
INTERNAL STORAGE :
Total 8gb
Firmware Rom 2gb( 0 free),
System Rom 1gb (free 0.4 gb),
User Rom 1,97GB(free 230 MB,
Apps are here ) ,
User virtual SD card 2,85(free 1.65 gb)
USER VIRTUAL SD CARD:
Available 1.65 Gb,
Apps 1.3 gb, etc.
EXTERNAL SD CARD:
Total 8gb, available 1,24 Gb
Apps 1,03gb etc.
I have default save location on SD, I have restarted play store, apps are installed on user Rom. When I delete a large app user Rom has more space. I have 1 Gb free on internal and external memory. How to use this memory for default save location and not user Rom (it is only 2 gb), Or how to extend partitions? System is lagging and a notification says I have not free space
