Internal memory problem

[Dani_283]

So my phone says I have 600 mb of free space in my Internal memory. However, when you see the picture or whatever it is ( I wish i could post it here but I don't see an option) on the top when you enter settings-->storage you can clearly see that more than half of the line is free...Also when you combine all those different parts of your memory apps,pictures and videos,downloads etc it doesn't add up to more than 4 gb of used space. I'm really not sure what's the problem here but I've noticed this problem long time ago when I had 2 gb free. It's like something is draining my internal memory, god that sounds stupid but I really don't know. Oh and I use 16 gb sd card and always transfer anything if it can be transferred. And I clear the cache regularly, I have clean master but I'm not sure if that app is helping at all. Thanks

Yes, that is correct.

Im trying to upload a photo, so you can see, that nothing stands out.

Google play is top of the list with 172mb

Then messenger 141mb and Snapchat 123.

Also, my phone is regularly trying to make safety copy, but does rarely succeed.

I face the same problem at the pc with pc companion. It just stop around one third in and never goes on.

Based on the screenshot you uploaded then the Android-system (the operating system) is taking up about 4.4GB in your phone, which is not unusual, and that your apps take up 10GB. I suggest that you uninstall the apps you no longer use or that (if possible) you transfer them to an SD-card.

Deleting data from Facebook, and imaging social apps can clear out a fair chunk too.

[Kokinos]

Facebook does not use up 6 GB!

I've transferred all apps possible to the SD card.

I don't have many apps at all.

As I said, if I count ALL my apps up INCLUDING the preinstalled apps it about 4GB

The phone says I have 10GB apps and the Android system takes up 4,43.

The 4,43 it not included in the 10GB.

Even if it where, there is stille something completely wrong!

[Kokinos]

The apps I have downloadet is not even 2GB

You see there is a problem?

[Kokinos]

Also I have chosen the "tving til at standse" option on all apps possible, so they only use memory when I open them.

I did all these things before asking in here.

[Lord_viridis]

Memory and storage are two very different things.
Apps like WhatsApp, instagram, twitter Flickr etc could easily amass 10GB of images within a few weeks.

[Kokinos]

How? I regularly delete data and cache?

Isn't that what use up memory/storage?

[Kokinos]

No matter where I look, I can't find any hidden files/thingys who clogs up memory/storage from facebook or snapchat.

I had 9gag app once, and it clogged up the memory/storage in a matter of weeks because it hid all photos in the phone.

I deleted cache and it was no longer a problem.

But I cant seem to see, where the  facebook or snapchat app stores any files, when I deleted data and cache?
