After a fresh installation with a lot of technical issues I finally got everything booting properly but I have way more storage used than I expected. Is this normal? What could I do to clear or reclaim the used space?
Look at the bottom temp. files, that seems to much, my device X IV uses 3.7 GB temp systemfiles
Right, that’s why I included it in the post. It doesn’t provide anyway to clear it, it just explains what the temporary files are and says the amount used may change over time. I was hoping to get help locating the files and deleting them myself.
I would start with:
Settings > Apps > See all (apps) > Show system.
Then look down through the list of apps to see which ones are storing the most data. Maybe there’s one especially egregious.
Click on those to see “Storage & cache,” then tap “Clear cache.” (Don’t clear storage unless you want to lose some app settings.)
You can also clear cache in the recovery application if you boot into it, but be careful.
@rik Any recommendations or input?
This is a fresh install I did a few months ago and turned the phone off and put it back in the box after I was done, none of the applications have any data. When I was flashing the recovery I remember had some hiccups caused by some a/b partition nonsense but I was hoping I would be able to fix this without having to re-flash because I honestly can’t remember exactly what I did to get it working and I don’t want to have to put in more sleepless nights if I end up messing something up.
Do you have a work profile / shelter / etc. enabled? (PS I moved this to the broader discussion “System and Apps” category for discussion. if there is a valid issue here we can move it back).
