RR5.8.4-athene : Internal memory gets filled up

[sreeku]

Hi all,
I am using Moto g4 Plus with Resurrection Remix ROM - v5.8.4-20170824-athene-official for last two weeks. I love this ROM. There is only one issue I face which is forcing me to re-flash 2nd time in 2 weeks. The internal memory usage keeps growing and it fills up. I know it could be a rouge app. But I can not identify which.

My storage is encrypted as I use my corporate e-mail in outlook. Would that be a problem?

I used Titanium Backup Pro and moved all the high memory apps to SDCard (mounted as extended storage). Now the highest memory users listed in Storage is all google apps - but they dont add up to total.

Settings->Storage->Internal Memory says
28.59 GB out of 29.12 used.
Apps : 3.57 GB
System 4.26 GB
Cached data : 43.32 MB

When I installed the ROM and all apps from Titanium Pro back up it was only 15 GB. In a week it grew to fill the area. I did a clean installation again and it happened again.



Is there a tool/log where I can look for what is occupying the 28.59 GB and what keeps growing?

Thanks
Sreekumar

Try fx file manager or any file manager, which will show you the usage stats and also created and modified date w/ it.
If not able to find out backup only app and not data from titanium backup.
See if the issue is resolved and check data(storage of per app using Apps2SD)
Apps2SD shows all the data consumed by a particular app w/each detail to wants.

Thanks. Apps2SD keeps crashing - so I couldnt use. FX file manager does not show much details other than SD card. I could see the same information with ES File Explorer with root explorer enabled. Unfortunately it looks like all the information the tool shows as recent file changes are in SD card and they are not much.

What is the mount path for internal storage - /data. Is there a way to see the largest files or recent changes with /data - may be I didnt use fx file manager with correct options.

Within last 2 hours the internal memory got filled up by another GB.

Ok, im not telling you that fx will show you all the details, but the file location and if permitted system info too. Which will clear that which folder have your data ie which app is doing this. Use some stats application for it(sry i dont know any).
But may you properly explain the process like just telling us int storage gets stock up w/o doing anything is bit not understandable.

I apologize as I sent the reply too soon without exploring all options in FX file manager.
I found the culprit. It was a folder related to power logger, which was taking up 21 GB. I deleted Ampere app (I assume it logs power usage) and the folder and I got 22 GB back.

Thanks a lot!

Only if Apps2SD has worked in your phone properly it would have been just a matter of time(like 10min is enough) to caught the culprit. Well good to see you have got your memory back[emoji6]
