[Q] Storage is reporting full...

[Elysian893]

Just plugged my Xoom in this morning, first time in a couple of days and my storage is full. I've calculated all the apps I've got installed based on the 'Manage Applications' reported storage usage and with all the apps I've got installed I'm at about 1.5gb, yet when I go to 'Storage' in Settings it reports I've got 11gb of apps installed. My normal storage usage hasn't changed, I've used about 16gb with music and roms and such, but somehow magically I'm using 11gb of storage for apps that it can't actually find... What do I do? Any suggestions? Never had anything like this happen on my Droid so I'm pretty lost.

edit: It's also keeping me from installing anything at all or even updating apps... Pretty annoying.

Just a guess but did you take application storage onto account PR just the application itself. 10 Gig seems excessive for application storage but some games have large files.

The game data for all my games seems in line with the games I'm playing. In the 'Manage Applications' menu, it shows aggregate total, including application storage.

I just uninstalled all the big apps, still nothing. Astro didn't help me figure anything out either, I've got absolutely no idea what's using 11gb of storage now, I certainly have less than 1gb installed and I've only got 2gb free.

Wound up backing everything up and resetting it to defaults... Have no idea what happened but I'll be pretty annoyed if it happens again.

That sucks!

How did you go about doing your backup (and restore)? Are you rooted?

From the market, download an app called DiskUsage. It provides a visual breakdown of all of the data on your device. It should be fairly easy using this app to identify why and where all of this used data is coming from. Hope it helps.
