16GB Almost Full

[Samsung.Galaxy.S3]

Ok, I don't think I have 11GB worth of stuff on the internal drive. Why is my phone (Settings/Storage) telling me that I only have 4.72GB available space left?

1.15GB - Apps
9.89GB - Miscellaneous (what in the world is in here?) :crying:
4.72GB - Available space

I need to clear out some space. Do I need to reformat the internal drive? Any tips?

If you click on miscellaneous it will tell you what is in there.

Usually what is doesnt show is your nandroid backups..they usually are over 1gb so if you have several then there is your culprit

If you are asking where the extra space is, that is used by the OS and the calculation of memory. When you buy "16 gb" you really only get like 14.xx!

Go to the play store and dowload an app called DiskUsage. It'll show you what's using space.
