Insufficient Storage

[jayzun]

Hello, I am getting an error for insufficient storage when I try to install some apps. I know how to fix this (by deleting apps obviously)...however I'm just not sure what is taking the space.

When I open up the storage section it says:
Apps - 1.5GB
Other - 4.5GB

I have NO idea what is using this Other space. Is it just cache? I can't click on the other section to see what is taking the space. Anyone know how I can figure this out?

Thanks!
Jason

you could try to wipe the cache partition from recovery. might also try to do a google checkin (dial *#*#2432546#*#*)

I had this problem too. This happens because when you install apps from the play store most of the time it gets put into the internal storage which is small in comparison to the phone storage (internal sdcard). So to fix the problem go to settings then apps. The apps under "downloaded" is what's in the internal storage so what I do is I go through each app that is 10 mb and higher and move them to phone storage (internal sd card). This should fix it .

Go into titanium backup and restore apps.

What is a Google checkin?

None of that works. no matter what. If I move it to phone storage, the app is still in the internal phone storage. Why in hell would they partition a drive and all the apps go to internal phone storage by default and no matter if you move it or NOT the app is still taking space in the internal phone storage. and NOT all apps will move. So how do we make it so that all apps download to phone storage by default?
