Storage space running out problem

I deleted most of my photos, downloads etc. But it still keeps saying that. I can't download anything on google play anymore.

@ JadeBaco,

If you wish to remove the photos faster, I suggest that you connect your handset to a PC and find the DCIM folder with thumbnails and remove them. You can easily scan through folders using a PC.

Are you aware on how to access the internal storage through a PC?

Hi JadeBaco,

This does seem strange, are you able to advise how much space you have left within the handset?

Menu > Settings > Apps > Downloaded > Check the bottom section.

Let us know and we can go from there.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

It may be possible you have a lot of cache or you have hidden files like thumbnails from when you had photo's and other data files on your phone which will be taking up space - Using a file manager app try and change the setting for show hidden files and folder and check for the thumbnail files and also install an app like 1tapcleaner and delete your cache as this can also build up especially if using the web browser or reading on line newspapers etc
