Running out of storage space on your android? (updated)

android apps storage

We receive inquiries every day about a common problem. And it is that if a good day, you are installing an application or copying some files to your Android phone. And it goes and this message appears «running out of storage space«.

You have an easy problem to solve, how? With this Android guide, you can free up space on the internal memory. Copying applications and games to the Micro SD card, if you have it pre-installed of course.

Running out of storage space on your android? (updated)

How to solve

To do this, we go to “all applications”, then to “settings” and there we select “applications”, after this we click on “manage applications” and the list of applications and games that we have installed will appear.

All that remains is to click on each of the applications and we will see the information of the application. If it is possible to move the application to the SD card, we will see that the «Move to SD card» button is white, meaning that it can be selected and therefore, we can move that application or game to the SD Card. If the button appears shaded, with a grayish color, we will not be able to move the application.

Why can't we move that app? there are some system applications, necessary for its proper functioning. and therefore, if they are moved to the SD card, they will stop working normally. They will show constant error codes, so the stability of the mobile phone will be affected and its daily use will be difficult.

Freeing up memory storage space

The internal memory of the mobile phone is much faster and more accessible, for this reason, some applications can only be installed there, access to the SD card is only possible when the system has started up normally and when it loads the necessary files to be able to access the external card, in a nutshell, applications installed on the SD card are not accessible as soon as the phone is turned on, those on the internal memory, yes.

Carrying out this process with each of the applications or games, we will free up space in the main memory of our Android device and we will not constantly receive a message with the storage space exhausted.

We also tell you that there is a free application for move android apps to your sd card easily.

This application is called App2sd and it makes our lives easier when it comes to moving apps to the SD card since it shows us a list of applications that can be moved.

To free up storage space, you may be interested in:

    I do not have memory
    Hello, I have a question that no one can solve me. I have a Galaxy Ace with a single application installed (what's App) and an sd with an envelope where all my photos are. However, I don't have any memory and now it won't even let me enter the application unless I keep clearing "cache". Having no more applications than What's App, I can't transfer any to the SD card. Do you have any solution for my case? I've thought about formatting it but I'll have to download the App again and I don't know what else I can lose. The other option is to change your mobile because it has always had rather little memory...
    Thank you very much

    To free internal memory you must apply # * 9900 # click on the second option and that's it. Large part of the internal memory is already open released.

    Apps in SD, clean cache and no space in RAM
    Hello! I have a Motorola xt316. Internal memory is almost nil! 🙁 Thanks to a tutorial, I was able to move most of the apps to the SD card, and forced new apps to be installed on SD as well. Also, I'm root and I've removed the pre-installed apps I didn't use. Currently, in the internal memory I only have Google apps, such as gmail, Google maps or Play store, and the widgets, only 6. Clean cache and browsing history with Clean master. And I'm out of memory! I no longer know where to approach that phone (what a piece of garbage), I have almost nothing in internal memory, and after all the cleaning, it fills up and leaves me with no space.
    What else could I do? 😕

    disappointment
    for reasons of destiny, I would love to remove all the m… that the internal memory has but it is impossible and I don't know what else to do because no application can be transferred to the SD and they are rejecting the text messages that I need them because they seem more to me important than m…. of system applications that we have, that we are not going to use and we do not have the stupidest idea of ​​how to delete them because it is not possible. The Samsung Galaxy mini is a potato compared to its price.

    Solution
    Hello, I have a galaxy ace and I solve this problem by installing an app called "Droid sail app 2SD" It allows you to change all the apps you want and I have more than 10 apps in my SD memory You can also program it to directly install this app in the sd without have to move them. 🙂 😆

  27.   Pancho said

    FOME…
    🙁 😡 I have the galaxy mini and have downloaded a few apps. The problem is that it's already saturated and I can't receive text messages from friends since the warning appears that the internal memory is full but it doesn't give the option to transfer some things to the SD. I have installed the app2sd, and nothing only some applications you can move but the memory full message continues. The galaxy is a scam, expensive and you can only download limited applications. What use is the 4 gigabyte SD to me? 😥

    Hello. I am very disappointed because what is the point of putting a 16gb memory on the cell phone if it is not possible to save there the applications that you necessarily need the system that the phone uses to use some applications. I think that if it is a manufacturing or programming error, I don't know. But please do something because the memory of the phone fills up easily. 🙁 😥 :sight:

  38.   FranciscaR said

    Honestly, this post didn't help me at all. I have applications that obviously are not necessary in the internal memory and that do not allow me to move to the SD card when I have 1.4G available, some games and a metronome do not allow me to move them to the SD... I do not know if it is an error of the device of the creators of the applications, but that is something that they should solve.

    I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace, with a 2G SD memory. The cell phone is new, it is only 2 and a half months old. About 3 weeks ago I got a message that says "There is little space left, the system storage is getting smaller" I didn't pay attention to it, it went away by itself. Until today that appeared to me & my sister put "Stop" to some apps, & she didn't remove the icon or the msg, I didn't pay attention to her, I tried to open my Instagram & it closes by itself, & I can't open anything because it close. What does my cell phone have? I read that it said I had to “Root it” but I don't know how to do that & I don't want to. I don't have many apps, only 16 & 12 are in SD. Now it tells me that I have 00.0 KB of phone memory (or nothing!) & I had 120MB :/
    What I can do? I can't do anything that this post says, because everything is in the SD.
    I would really appreciate if you answer me, I don't know what to do 🙂

    keep in mind not only that, but with link2sd, apart from moving the applications to the sd, you have to link them in this way, it solves the problem and frees up a lot of internal memory, keep in mind to have the sd partitioned where you will move everything

  61.   octavio j said

    It is not simply about moving applications to the sdcard or applying smart cleaner or android assistant the real problem is that even if they use all those applications just by browsing the internet, fb, sending sms etc android 2.3.6 memory is consumed internal and nothing releases it with any application and you have to be restoring the factory to release that memory but the vicious circle is repeated and the internal memory is eaten again that we do not know why

  63.   Anx said

    The easiest thing is to root it you can move everything like face etc without errors

  64.   Ribeiro said

    My solution (since whatsapp always asked me to update, it didn't fit) is to uninstall each application and reinstall it, when they ask for updates (the updates are already coming, when you reinstall). That prevents you from needing memory to archive an update.

    Later, the other solution found was to delete the email accounts (which had a lot of information in the cache) and add them back. That has freed up a ton of space for me. Currently, and for the moment, I have not had memory problems with the phone again.

    You can use link2sd with this if you can store the applications on the sd (the best thing is to go to the page and read the faq to understand how everything is and do it correctly) I use it in combination with autostart so that, for example, the games that I create the link to the sd does not start together with the system (note only the games the other programs it is better not to touch them and let them start at the beginning),,,

    For those who asked for App2sd to move applications to SD, because it doesn't work on the Galaxy Ace. If it doesn't let you pass them from Settings, from app2sd either. This is a problem. As someone here already said, the problem is that the applications that are used the most, such as Face or WhatsApp, are recorded in the internal memory. What a scam with this phone. Can someone explain to me how to reset the phone? Then it will let you record in the SD???

    hello, so you can't move facebook, twitter, whatsapp to the external memory or can you? It's just that, too bad because almost most of the most important applications have a lot of memory like face which has 16mb Google Play store 9mb, hotmail 7mb and they are the ones that are used the most and with those the internal memory is already filled, I I bought a 16GB memory and I have only consumed 1.6GB buuuu

  74.   adritoo said

    I became root. I moved all apps with link2sd. Delete data and clean ram with Power tune up. And it keeps saying that there is no memory... I surf the internet and after a while I get the message. The memory of the device keeps filling up even though all the applications go to the external memory... I don't know how to solve it anymore!!!

  75.   Ace said

    I had the same problem. The internal memory was practically full and in reality I hardly had applications saved in it. It wouldn't even let me update the ones already installed. I know that it is not the solution you are looking for, but as I have read I have seen that there are not many others, I have restored the factory data of the phone. Clearly the applications I had have been deleted and the sms tray too, but now I'm doing great. I have downloaded the applications that I used the most and even so I have half of the free internal memory. It can be a drastic solution, but it is very effective.

  76.   Ace said

    I had the same problem. I hardly had any free space on the internal memory and I didn't have many applications either. At all times I had the icon of insufficient space and I could not even update my applications. Seeing that there is not much solution to this problem, I have directly reset the phone's factory data. Now the phone is like new, I have half of the free memory and I have re-downloaded the applications that I used the most before and still have a lot of free space. I imagine that it is not the solution you are looking for, but I think there are not many more.

    Hello! Exactly the same thing happens to me, I hardly have applications and I get that I have no space. And with the monthly messages the same, and that I have come to have many applications and many SMS, but I have been deleting them and I have almost had to eliminate everything. I have downloaded applications to try to change the storage and it does not work 😥
    Any workaround other than throwing away the phone?
    Greetings, thanks

    hello, I would like to know why on my tablet the option to move it to the sd card appears and it only appears with 2GB of space and below it appears extsd card and it comes out with 14.86 Gb of free space and it is actually 16GB. So my question is, if I have so much space on extsd why can't I use it? or why it does not give me the option to use it as a storage medium. Thanks

    It's true, so far nothing solves the cleaning of the internal memory, you can't receive messages... Or delete applications.

    I am beginning to think that it is a mobile phone failure, nobody gives us a solution, … I have friends with the same mobile to whom nothing happens and with many more applications downloaded than I have. I only have 4 and an external card to which I can not pass anything but the photos! What a crap mobile Samsung Galaxi Ace! I have it less than a year and I have already taken it to be repaired because one fine day it went out!! In addition to the ram memory! That does not allow you to receive messages or browse or update or anything at all! Great!!!

    guys… root! that is the solution, a large part of the applications that consume the internal memory space belong to those preloaded from the factory... become root and use "root pro uninstaller" that can be downloaded from the android blackmart and thus eliminate it from the root …

    Hey.
    Turns out I have a galaxy ace. Suddenly I was using the cell phone and I usually see the memory status of the phone because I always get the message that the storage is getting low. It turns out that when I checked it I had 145 mb used out of 181 so I had 36 mb left but I was using the cel and suddenly the message appears that there is little space left and it tells me that I have 11 mb remaining. This is weird because I haven't downloaded anything. What do I do?? Can someone help me figure out what happened?

  113.   fufy said

    Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace. The cell phone is very good but in total I have installed 13 applications of which 10 are on the sd. As you will see I have only installed 3 that have gone to the cell phone. The problem is that it won't let me download anything that goes to the phone because the message appears that there is little space left. The apps that I download are not very big, but the ones that take up the most space are the ones that came pre-installed on the phone and some of them I don't even use but they don't let me uninstall them... I need more space, what do I do???

    Thank you

    It is normal, when you pass the applications to the SD card, until the mobile does not start completely and load the data from the SD card, the applications do not appear there and there are some that must be in the phone's memory to work well, in the SD they don't go.

  116.   gpach said

    I have a Galaxy Ace and as many have put, its internal memory fills up quickly, only with updates to Google apps the memory filled up. Now I have 2 problems, to return to the original state of the mobile, I must delete my samsung account, which I do not remember the password that I synchronized and I do not know how to obtain it. And second, that app they recommend cannot be moved to the SD or twitter, or Google+, or GMAIL... etc. So it is useless… Can someone help me with those 2 points? Thanks

  120.   fffghxjyv hee said

    I just entered this forum and I am surprised that they say incomplete things. The mentioned application App2d moves applications to the Sd memory but NOT ALL, some small ones that do not need mobile memory to be stable. If what you want is to move almost all the applications (such as facebook) you have to root the device. once rooted with Titanium Backup you can move the applications you want and do many other things. Any other questions you have do not hesitate to write me.

    great info but you know that I have space on the sd and on the internal one too and to take photos it tells me that there is no space, I moved them to my pc and the poster keeps coming out now also to see the only image that I can in the photo gallery tells me insufficient mem to delete files..., I have a Samsung galaxy i5500. the sd is 2gb and I have it with android "froyo" (I don't know if it is written
    like that) but it sounds like that I hope some help thanks anyway.

    If I really want someone to answer how to transfer the app from the phone to the sd because when you install a game, program, etc. on the PC, it is installed on the disk, not on the ram, for example. on other phones you can on android not be because you don't also need at least 20 mb of space in the memory of the phone because otherwise it's slow
