Help M8 Space Issues

Dear All,

I'm having some grief with the M8 and internal space. It seems to keep running out of internal memory.
It's causing the phone to run pretty slowly at times now and crash off and on (it dumped the entire user defined dictionary after a crash a few weeks back).
I've had to slowly delete apps one by one each time I run of space. Hooking it up to the laptop, selecting all folders and dragging up properties reveals minimal usage of 121MB, so it's obviously a hidden or system folder somewhere.
I have whatsapp pointed to the SD card (emulated dir), as are all of my pictures (3,999 at the moment) and a few gigs of music. So, none of those should be using up internal memory, neither should email (K9 Mail).

Right to answer the next questions from everyone.
