This question already has an answer here:

My phone is an Android Evo, and it keeps telling me I have low storage. I have removed everything - facebook, email, messages, text messages, and pictures, but it's still low.

  • Please hover your mouse over the internal-storage tag and click on the "info" link in that box. Update your question when you've tried the solutions provided there. – Izzy Feb 18 '13 at 14:44

Go to Settings > Storage.

This should list available space and the size of used space for apps, pictures, videos, music, downloads, etc.

You can use this as a guide to go through your storage and find files you can clean up.

Once you have figured out what is taking up a lot of space, then you can ask how to clear up a particular item.


Try clearing out the cache files.

    This is pretty vague. Can you explain how to go about doing this? – eldarerathis Feb 21 '13 at 18:38
  • Caches are pretty small. So clearing it useless. Also apps will always rebuild cache once its cleared – forums Feb 25 '13 at 2:08
