Why does my Huawei Y360 have no internal memory left?

Hello,

I've had this phone for a while and reset it after my wife used it. Since I bought it, I found out that the internal memory disappeared very quickly. At the time, I seem to remember finding a default setting that was draining all the memory when I switched the phone on but now that I have the phone back, I can't remember what it was.

I've been on tons of forums and read a lot about clearing the cache and moving things to the SD card. I really don't think it's anything to do with that. I've only installed Whatsapp and everything else is a crappy built-in app (most of which I have no interest in). I've checked my internal memory and there's about 2GB in total.

Furthermore, I've tried to investigate what's taking up all the space and a pre-installed app has listed the following: images, videos, archives, audio, documents and apps as zero and 'other' as 1.8GB with only 47 MB left. I'm also running an ancient version of Facebook and have never updated any settings as far as I can remember, whether firmware on the phone itself or an app. All of the images, music and videos that I have on the phone are my own that I have transferred onto the SD card via my PC.

This really is the worst phone I've ever had by far and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone but I just don't have the cash to splash out on a new one especially since all I use it for is Messenger, Whatsapp, music, phone calls and maybe the occasional other little app that I may need for work (no games).

Any ideas?

With only 4GB of internal storage, you really need to just set your expectations accordingly. To use it as a day-to-day phone you're frequently and repeatedly going to be putting in extra effort just to clear up a few MBs of free space. This is just a given.
At some point you either need to just live with the frequent hassle and frustration using this phone, or accept the fact that you need to upgrade to a a model that's more appropriate. Whatever money you saved up front there's still the cost of your own peace of mind.

It isn't necessarily a brick, but with such sub-standard hardware specs it's little more than an enhanced flip-phone. Again, just set your expectations using it accordingly.
You don't need a pricey, flag-ship model to do what most people do with their phones, but at the same time getting a bargain-bin special and expecting it to do normal things isn't quite realistic either.
