Hey, my wife has been having a lot of trouble with storage space on her verizon s5. the internal storage is all but full. there arent many apps an it, in fact she has to delete apps to get new ones on her phone. its not rooted at all, and she doesnt want me to play with it like that. i have moved a majority of the the pics and vids to an external card. is there anything i can do to explore what is taking up so much space on the root directory without rooted it or playing with the phone or am i out of luck and stuck with a factory reset.

without root, the best bet is go into Settings-> Storage-> you should see what using up your space. Tab on it to see details and delete them as needed. You could also download diskspace analyzer app like this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage

I did that and there is a lot in the misc files section but it doesn't add up to the total in the section
Download this best disk space cleaner https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=booster.cleaner.optimizer . After install, make sure you reboot the phone, then check your storage then run the app and you should able to delete.
Tried running app. A big chuck of data is in the system in apps that I can't delete AMD such. Maybe I'll try a factory restore or gaining root so I can erase the apps she doesn't use.
