So yesterday i was seeing how many apps i have installed and i noticed this...according to which only 248 MB is free. Which looks wrong to me too.

But that is not the case according to storage analyser app...and which i also think should be the case as i know what i am installing and keeping eye on space a certain app takes.

...you can also see it's the same thing (as storage analyser app) in my computer!

enter image description here

So how come..? is it a problem, and what can i do to fix it?

Apps and their data are stored on a different partition (/data) from media (/sdcard0) and removable storage (/sdcard1). If you are rooted, you can use an app like Disk Usage to check what's taking up space on your internal memory.

  • and whats a difference between disk usage app and storage analyser. – Muhammad Umer Aug 06 '14 at 00:32
  • They have basically the same purpose, but you must understand that your phone storage is divided into lots of parts. The only part visible to you, as a normal user, is sdcard1. Apps are on a different partition (data). – dantis Aug 06 '14 at 11:11
  • ok i found data folder that you said is internal storage. So yea that is almost full...so how can i increase this partition. – Muhammad Umer Aug 06 '14 at 21:26
  • @MuhammadUmer Check some of the questions under the [tag:insufficient-memory] tag. Some good advice there already. – Chahk Aug 06 '14 at 22:41
