| 1467459 | 2020-03-20 00:57:00 | I have a nagging issue with my andriod tablet. Recently I have been getting a message saying "Your internal storage is 80% full would you like to transfer data to SD Card" or words to that effect. When I check the Internal storage it says 2.3 GB free of 11.4 GB. If I check the contents of that, it shows, Pictures, Music, Videos, Archives, Documents & Other. The first 5 have have minimal but the "Other" has 9.1 GB I can open & inspect the contents of the first 5, but not "Other" I am assuming it contains the system files, but it shouldn't be that size. Any Ideas ? |

| 1467463 | 2020-03-20 20:27:00 | Some devices dont have a large amount of Storage. My phone has a higher Main storage than Tablet. The phone has 16GB, with a 64GB SD card (But I don't live or have loads of apps on my phone so not large amounts needed) The tablet only has 8GB, with a 128SD card, any photos, music etc all get relocated to the SD card. SWMBO has a cleaner that came on her phone so installed it on the tablet, just removed 580MB worth of junk. |

| 1467464 | 2020-03-20 20:37:00 | There can be an option in settings to send pictures taken directly to the SD card and avoid using internal storage for pictures, altogether. Maybe have a look for that setting. |

| 1467465 | 2020-03-20 22:11:00 | This tablet is a Sony Xperia Z. It has 16 GB internal storage & 32 GB external. As I said in post #4 all pictures, music & video are stored on SD. Documents is empty. So my problem is with the apps. Any non default apps I have installed are already on SD. None of the default ones can be moved. When I cleared all the caches the contents droped to about 8 GB but I notice this morning it has risen back to 11.4 GB. I guess this is one way of telling me it's time to buy a new one. |
