Hey,
I have a Galaxy S4 Mini.
The 8GB that comes with the device keeps filling up and I'm not 100% sure why.
I have a 32GB MicroSD card and I moved all possible apps that can run from the MicroSD already moved there.
Of the 8GB the split is:
3.21GB are system memory.
4.67GB left.
Of those 3.46 is in use. Almost all of them on apps. I already moved all the photos/videos to the SDCard. Tho... I'm not sure how it gets so high. The 4 heaviest apps combine for .5GB. The fifth is only 74MB. There are 43 apps that total 1.7GB with the lightest of them at 22MB. More than a third are apps that are part of the system (Google apps, some apps that were installed with the phone when I bought it). The rest are apps I basically use. At least 95% of them. So not sure what more I can do.
Then I have 1.29GB on "Other Files".
When I check that it says 1.78 is used by G Cloud. But when I browse the phone folders and check the G Cloud folder it is totally empty. Besides, the idea of G Cloud is to store data on... well, a cloud.
So that's how my 8GB is totally full.
Now, I already freed up 500MB of space by deleting some apps, but when I try to reinstall Whatsapp it says I need to clear space (which Whatsapp's size is much smaller than 500MB).
Any thoughts? What's the deal with the 1.78GB of G Cloud? What can I do to get some breathing room? Why can't I re-install whatsapp even if I have enough space?
Thanks!
