Memory problems

Devakishe — Sun, 10 Nov 2013 14:10:56 GMT

I just downloaded a very big app. After awhile I got bored of ita so I deleted it. However, the phone somehow registers the app as being still there. I've gone to the storage option in the settings but I can't find out what the problem is. There is very little space avaliable buT the numbers don't add up to the space I have in there. So, can't identify the problem. Any solution?

Plus now I can't even download the same app. The amount of space I have in the internal storage would make sense if I still had that app but I don't

I suspect that this app has created a folder on the phones internal storage where it has saved alot of files. When you start certain apps and games they create their own folder and then starts downloading app/game data to that folder. If you then uninstall the app/game it will not delete that folder.

Try using a file manager like Astro File Manager to see if you can find the folder and delete it but be careful so that you don't delete anything else.

To find the folder or folders taking alot of space you could use an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.levelokment.storageanalyser.
