Hi all,
Been unsuccessfully trying to figure this out for the last few months, and ordered a s23+ in early September that seems like it won’t come any time soon, so checking ti see if anyone here can make my phone usable again.
Got my S8+ in 2017 and haven’t had really any issue with it until this year where my storage has been glitching a lot. I have had to delete apps as their code has shown as astronomically large (one example, uber eats code once showed as 1.5 gigs, not data and cache, the app itself).
I recently downloaded DiskUsage, and it is showing my phone with 25.4 gigs of apps/data etc, and 26.9 gigs of system data.
My phone consistently has between 400-600 mb free and I’ve deleted every app I don’t use regularly, and have been just using the web browser for some that I do use frequently.
Any help would be great, I use app mgr III to clear caches and move apps to my SD card, AVG Cleaner to clear caches for redundancy, greenify to force close my apps, and I clear the cache manually with the restart, Bixby and volume up button daily.
27GB of system data seem reasonable, 25GB of apps are the only thing you can manage. You need to delete more apps, not much else you can do honestly.
27gb out of 64gb internal memory seems a bit high, no?
On my Flip it reports 40GB. Don’t forget we’re talking about an operating system.
