Question [Q] Clean stuff from Internal SD Card?

Hello. I was just deleting junk off of my SD Card to free up some more space, but I realized that I don't have that much space on my internal SD Card. How can I remove unnecessary files without damaging the phone itself?

the safest way

Titanium Backup + Nandroid Backup (CWR)

then even if you do delete something that you should not have, you can restore it back

Just felted things you downloaded. I'm pretty sure you don't need 15 GB of apps. Plus you can always upgrade your SD card

ehhh... we can not upgrade the INTERNAL SD card, it's fixed at 16 GB minus 2GB for OS use

you can move your apps to your External SD card.

i have read that some apps have issues with this but if your backed up before you can always restore.

I'm wondering if matters if you move apps to the external card... I just noticed that my internal was down to 300mb so I had a look to see where all my memory went... it seems that the external_sd counts against your internal memory?? I have a 32GB card installed and the 7.4 GB that's on it reads on my internal??... is this normal and if so... doesn't it defeat the purpose of the external storage...

Edit: Sorry I mean it shows up in what they call the SD Card... part of the internal memory... that was down to 300mb... and wouldn't allow me to install a game... it's all so confusing... lol... I still have 1.5GB internal left....
