Total available internal storage is only 2.6 GB and it's all used up by some Email account - it shows 2.4 GB of data and I have no idea what it is (I can't delete it, move it, or uninstall it).

I see a separate, legitimate Gmail app that's only using 7 MB. I also have a Hotmail account that seems to be have problem syncing (but it's not that big). I've tried DELETING the Hotmail mail account, and in setting I chosse EXTERNAL Storage for the hotmail, but I STILL can't get rid of this 2.4G of mysterious email data.
I have already factory reset a few times to get rid of it but it seems to build up in a matter of a couple of weeks. Anyone have any idea? How do I get rid of this Email data or move it to the SD card (though I'm sure it's not legitimate). My phone is basically not functional right now.

THANK YOU.
