Hello everyone,
I would like to talk to you, and at the same time, ask for help for my problem.
My device is obviously the LG G3 S, or LG G3 Beat.
I bought this device on April 2015. It was running Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box, and everything was going pretty well.
If I'm not mistaken, around at the end of April, the Android 5.0.2 update came out for my device. I did not update immediately, because I am aware that it might contain bugs and I should better wait a bit before updating. After a month, about at the ending of May, I decided to finally update to 5.0.2.
I did the update with the USB cable using the LG Suite.
The update Failed at the first 4 times, for some reason. However, at the 5th time, it succeeded, and my phone was running 5.0.2.
And then it was the time I discovered the case of the HUGE System Data folder, that cannot be edited, nor deleted.
My System Data was now around 4 GB. And you know what it means to have 4 GBs out of an 8 GB memory, out of which only 6 are available.
It was pretty much obvious to me that the previous 4 failed tries had the files stored there.
The struggle is real. I cannot download any new apps, I cannot update the already downloaded ones.
I want to note here that I do have a 64 GB microSD, but when it comes to Apps, you know that it has to go to the internal memory first to be transferred to the SD. Let alone the apps that do not support microSDs.
I also want to note here that I have tried factory resetting and it did not work.
Ofcourse I spent hours of trying to solve this, and hours of searching the internet. I found out that the problem is mostly like found in LG devices, but other brands aswell. I found a lot of people reporting this System Data case, but in most of these topics, if not all, there was either not an answer, or the common "Did you try resetting" answers.
I am writing this thread now in order to finally find a solution - without rooting - because it will not just help me, it will help a lot of others out there.
I really hope this will not end up like the other threads of this problem, unanswered and unsolved.
Thank you for your time.
