Just this morning, I only had about 100 MB left in my Xperia P's internal storage. So, I hooked it up to my computer and got rid of several music albums. I'm sure I removed more than 1 GB of space from it, but after I disconnect my Xperia P, it says that I only had 448 KB left on the Storage settings. It says that Pictures, videos took up 3.56 GB. I hooked it up into my computer, and found out that it was indeed the DCIM folder taking up 3.56 GB. Without thinking, I deleted the entire DCIM folder (I didn't have any pictures or videos at all). I went back into the storage settings then I suddenly see that Pictures, videos were taking up 1 GB again. I checked again on the computer and the DCIM folder was using up 3.56 GB again. But it was EMPTY. This is really annoying. Xperia P only comes with about 11 GB usable memory, then THIS happens. I don't know if I even did anything wrong. I mean, I barely do anything on my phone other than text, call, listen to music, or browse the internet.
EDIT
I tried experimenting with some apps, and it seems that the moment I start the Camera app, the DCIM folder starts increasing its size until it fills up my phone's internal memory. It seems kind of abnormal. With all the phones I've had before this Xperia P, it's the first time a Camera app would do such a thing.
EDIT (AGAIN)
Using a file manager that can view hidden files, I found out that the cause of the increase in size of the DCIM folder is an item called ".thumbdata3--1967290299" located in the ".thumbnails" folder. Does anyone know what causes this to increase to sizes over 1 GB?
