My brother purchased a new sd card for my Android phone (it's an alcatel onetouch yh I know it's old) to increase memory. Its a 8 gb card, but my phone still says low on space when I try to download any apps.There was no notification telling me that an sd caed was inserted either. I tried selecting sd card and it shows 8 gb available but I still can't download apps. Then I switched to internal memory just to see if that would help but nothing happened. Plz someone help!

Galaxy S5 running LineageOS 16 (Android 9).  I'm having issues with running out of storage space, even though I have 128GB external SD card, merged with the internal storage. Is there a way to create a symlink from the internal memory to the external SD card, even though they are technically merged and aren't identified as separate storage locations within Android as a result?  I've never made symlinks on Android so I'd appreciate some pointers or resources on that as well.

On my Amazing 2GB EeePC Surf, I have no more space left!  This is quite normal, and it happens every now and then. Just delete a few large, unneeded files and everything should be good, right?  So I go and find a 2MB file in /tmp, and rm -rf it. Check free space again, and -- still nothing?!  I had to remove about 30MB of files before it registered some free space.  Now, my question is, what's up with this strange behaviour?

I have an Android Voyager, RCT6773W22B. It's version 5.0.  When I first got it, and years after that, I could download at least five apps downloaded at a time and have a great sum of pictures in my gallery. I would still have space after this. Over time, I would delete apps I didn't use anymore. If I wanted to download something else and there wasn't enough space, I would delete apps and/or pictures I don't need.  Now, I can't download anything due to internal storage. I have no apps, five pictures (not taken with the camera), and I've cleared the cache on everything except Chrome. It tells me my internal storage is completely full and I can't move anything to an SD card. What do I do?

After one of the latest updates (not sure if it was the last one or a previous one) of the Google Play app, I am having an error trying to update a large app (42MB). It says:     Error Downloading . There is insufficient space on the device.   My device is a Samsung P1000 running Froyo. It's rooted, but the error was there before rooting it.  A quick Google search showed several Samsung users having the same problem (the app in question that was giving me the headache is Smurf's village). Some said that removing the updates to the Android Market (Google Play) app would fix it, but to me it was of no avail.  I also tried the procedure in  to no avail.  Now I am stuck with a prehistoric version of the Market (that works on small apps) and still cannot update Smurf's Village or install big apps. How can I fix this?  EDIT: device has over 2GB of internal SD storage, 27GB of external SD card, so space is not an issue.

Background:  I have Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830, which has very low internal memory (181 MB). I have an external micro SD card of 16 GB, but still couldn't install many apps due to insufficient internal memory.  I read on the Internet that if I modify vold.fstab and replace the word "sdcard" with "sdcard2" then my external SD card will act as internal memory.  So I rooted my phone and installed Superuser, but I haven't installed ClockworkMod recovery or any other custom ROM yet.  Problem Description:  I installed ES File explorer on my SD card and allowed root access to it via Superuser. I then went to /system/etc/ from ES file explorer, edited vold.fstab and replaced the word sdcard with sdcard2.  When I restarted my phone the external SD was no longer accessible. ES File Explorer is also gone, so I cannot undo the change that i did. I tried installing ES again from my data connection, but the installation fails (and the phone reboots immediately). I am not able to install any new apps.   I am unable to access my external SD card, so I can't put anything there via PC or via recovery. I tried pressing the power button + home button to go into system recovery mode. I see only these options     Android system recovery &lt;3e>         reboot system now       apply sdcard:update.zip       wipe data/factory reset   wipe cache partition      When I try to select the second option, it says "installation aborted" as the SD card is not accessible. I tried to select the 3rd and 4th options, but that didn't help either - I think factory reset will not reset vold.fstab.  I only have the default apps and Superuser now. I somehow need to find a way to get write permission to /system/etc or to /system/etc/vold.fstab.  Luckily I found "Android Commander". I installed it on my Windows PC and I am able to connect my phone and access the root folder, but I am not able to push a modified vold.fstab to /system/etc because  Android Commander says "no Root Access" - It is seeing it as read only.  Can someone let me know how I can edit this file again? I have an original vold.fstab on my PC, but I am not able to push it to my phone via Android Commander as Android Commander is seeing it as read only  Is there a way to give root access (aka read-write access) to Android Commander via the Superuser app?  Is there any other way to get write permission to /system/etc/vold.fstab so that I can modify it or replace it?

In my usage list(settings>general>storage &amp; iCloud usage>manage storage), there is an app that registers as (null) with no icon, a version number that doesn't match anything I've previously downloaded, and it's taking up storage space. I first noticed it about a week or two ago. And no, I can't download recent apps to find the one that it is, because I downloaded multiple apps recently, and didn't notice the (null) app until my storage was critically low and I was looking to delete something. I am running iOS 9.2.1 on an iPhone 5C.

I recently tried installing an app that was around 1.8GB to my Nexus 7 (8GB). it's a device with unfortunately small internal storage, so I had about 2GB free before attempting the install. I come back later, the download has failed due to not enough storage space. no big surprise there. but now, my device only has 350MB free! strangely enough, the graph in storage settings appears as if it had that full 2GB or so free, but lists only 350MB.  how can I get my free storage space back from the failed download? my device is rooted, no root file browser or terminal, but I do have the Android SDK and tools.  another thing to note: my device is constantly complaining about its free space in the form of a notification. also, every app download from Google Play (even a tiny 2MB app) fails due to not enough storage space. for some reason, that always happens when my device goes under 500MB free. I don't understand it, but, it's 'normal'.

When I look at the storage section of my phone, the various categories add up to about 2.5 GB of storage, but it says that 11.4 GB is being used. Is there any way to figure out what else is taking up space on my phone?

My Link2SD doesn't seem to be fully working. I noticed this when updating the Facebook application. Google Play prompted me of insufficient storage. I first uninstalled some apps but I got curious so I checked Link2SD's storage info, I got this:   (Click image to enlarge)  As you can see, the internal storage only has mere 70mb left. What's peculiar is, these are the only apps I have NOT linked:   (Click image to enlarge)  I tried moving one linked app (Amazing Alex) to the sd card (normal Android way) and sure enough, the free space on my internal storage got bigger by about an additional 20mb-ish.  Why is this happening? Why isn't Link2SD moving the data to my sdext2? How do I solve it?

I've upgraded to iOS 7 on my iPhone 4s, cleared photos, cleared and turned off Photo Stream, deleted large apps, books, etc… and this is the 4th time I've installed iOS and started from scratch since the release of the new OS update, and yet I still get minimum of ~10GB of this "Other" data on my phone which doesn't let me include the data and files I want to have on my phone.   Any ideas or suggestions?

I would like to know whether there is a way to tell Android to install applications on the micro SD card by default instead of having to download applications to internal memory first and then having to move them to the SD card manually.  Thanks

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04. I have an old 4GB SD card, and have just bought a new 16GB SD card. I would like to copy everything from my old 4GB SD card onto the new 16GB SD card. I was afraid that the usual copy-and-paste trick would miss out something, so I wanted to clone the old 4GB SD card onto the 16GB SD card. I used the dd command in a shell, following instructions in .  This worked with one small caveat. The new SD card now appeared to be 4GB. I later found out this is because the primary partition on the 16GB SD card has now shrunk to 4GB. I have solved this problem, and I think I understand it. However, my question now is, how do I clone my old 4GB SD card onto my new 16GB SD card without making the primary partition on the 16GB SD card shrink to 4GB?

I encrypted both my phone and SD card upon purchasing my HTC Evo 4g LTE.  Recently the phone died (would get to the login screen and then reboot).  After a factory reset the SD card shows up as damaged.  I've tried mounting it in various ways, but neither the phone nor a computer will attempt to mount the drive - they just ask to format it.  Is there any hope of recovering the contents?

I have a 16 GB Samsung Galaxy S3 phone - 5.05GB of which is being taken up by thumbnails! Can I move these to my 32GB SD card?   I have tried DMR (duplicate media remover) and that has detected duplicate pics and videos but stops when I try to delete them.
