The problem is that google music is always telling me that I have no space left to download music, nevertheless I still have over 20GB of storage free.
I guess that is due to the fact that xiaomi phones have three partitions two for os and one for data, and google music maybe using the data partition, but I don't know where else to look for the solution.
Anyone have any suggestion what maybe causing this issue?
Cheers

I got this error message appears in the right lower corner of the screen: Low on space.
I check the storage of xoom, 29GB was used by apps. Then I check the storage used by each apps, none of them used more then 25MB storage, the total should be less than 250Mb.
could anyone help me about this issue? Thanks.
Do you have any media on the device?

There is no media in the device.
29GB used by apps??? What apps do you have installed?
This is obviously an error on how the hardware is reporting available space to the device. Not totally sure how to fix it....
Huh, strange one. Maybe do a factory reset? Definitely a problem.

It seems that I have no other choices.
Wow I don't know if there are enough apps in the market to fill over 29 GB.
I I just got the same error out of nowhere. 29 gig plus use by my apps. I load up the apps and the biggest one is my gallery with 1.9 gb. There's definite problem reporting somewhere.

Delete some of the more "low rent" apps. Probably bad programming throwing the xoom off.
I just wanted to confirm this just happened to me yesterday as well. I had just checked my storage (aprox. 1.5gb media/2gb apps) then crashed out for a quick nap. About an hour later I awoke, rolled over, grabbed my Xoom and discovered I had the same dreaded memory notification that has plagued my Incredible. Checked storage and suddenly had like 28gb in my apps! Market quit working because of this as well, couldn't update or install apps. I found no other solution other than factory reset as deleting the apps one by one did not free up the space. The last 2 apps I recall downloading were friendstream and tablet keyboard. I was thinking an errant app was downloading all sorts of stuff as I was connected to wifi or perhaps didn't know how to properly utilize the Xoom's memory as it is a little different than your standard Android device. If this is a system OS issue as it is with my Inc, this is totally unacceptable and needs to be identified and addressed by google soon.
Anyone have any other ideas on what is causing this or how to help identify where/how exactly our memory space is vanishing?

Happened to me too. Factory reset 'resolved' it, but didn't really do anything to figure out what the root cause of the issue is... I went so far as to uninstall all the large games on my Xoom and no luck.
Have not seen anything about this problem I am having so thought the only way was to ask.
I transferred all my music on to the A500 into the music folder and fired up music (The one with the cover flow). It picked all the music up fine but now I have a problem.
I wanted to start again as a lot of music made it over the I did not really want so via a file manager I deleted all the music files.
When I restarted music i thought it may have noticed that nothing was there and removed all the cover art so i could start over however it still shows it all and if you tap on any of them it just says unable to play which I can understand because there is nothing there.
I could see nothing that allows me to refresh the list or anything like that although this is mentioned on the help (does not show on the actual app).
I went to the main settings app and applications and selected clear data which it did but all the cover art is still showing up.
Anyway I get can get rid of all this.
did you power down then power on your tablet after clearing data in manage applications?
Yup I did but has made no difference.
Ok well managed to sort this out, Was a case of going in a terminating all services relating to it then going in and clearing all data then re powering.
Mods you can delete this thread if you want.
Hello, I need help regarding Google Play Music's offline storage. On my SGS2 (and Captivate before it), it saves the offline files in /sdcard/Android/com.google.android.music which is great. But on my Nexus 7, it keeps them in /data/data/com.google.android.music. This is fine for the average user, but things get messy when I need to do backups. Both Titanium Backup and CWM backup my offline music, which is 4GB, and there is no way around it since the songs are simply located where application data is. I have attempted to symlink this music directory to the empty one on the sdcard, but I only succeeded in screwing up the application. That issue aside, how can I get the music to download to /sdcard rather than /data/data?
Really, nobody else has encountered this issue?

I tried to get support from Spotify without success and I am wondering if anyone here knows the answer. Every time I update my rom I lose all of my locally stored music for the app and I have to download it all over again. First question --is there a way to prevent this from happening? And second question --is the previously downloaded music still taking up space in my storage?

My phone is working great for the most part except every few days I have to restore my TWRP backups because internal storage space starts decreasing for no reason. I start out at about 6.33GB then a couple days later i'm down to 4GB or less. No installation of apps and all photos/videos/downloads go to my external SD card. I researched the issue and have installed the app DiskUsage but can not find any apps adding storage. I have also went into Device/System/Bin and went to Dumpstate and Dumpsys properties and unchecked write and execute. I clear all app caches and davilk all the time and restart phone. But problem still persists! Since my phone isnt stock I can not access the #0990# or whatever the code is to access the menu to delete dumpstate as going thru dialer does not pull up the hidden menu even tho hidden menu is marked 'ON' in my settings. I'm getting a bit annoyed by this internal storage issue! Any ideas? Anyone!?
UPDATE: 12/22/2019 I restored backup again and took screenshot list of all app sizes to compare for later when storage drops. I've found out most of my apps are taking up more space and i'm not referring to just cache without doing anything the ones that I hardly use or know that dont save data. Why is this happening!? I went from 60% to 68% taken space over night.
Did you ever sort this out? I am having the same problem with a custom rom on my rooted A3 2017.

No it's still an ongoing issue despite weather I use the android version mentioned, 7.1.2 or Android 11. Something to take note I never had this issue on STOCK roms that I can recall or before Android made the decision to use Adaptable storage for apps I want to say that happened in 2015 or 16. Previously you could just put most apps on external sd card.

My issue with disappearing internal memory appears to have settled down. I've installed the "Disk usage and storage analyser" app from the play store and for the last week my internal storage has been stable at 4GB. Don't know why but the app seems to be limiting the amount of internal memory that the apps can take.
I'll give it another week and see if things take a turn for the worst.

I think I might have talked to you about this app before. Anyhow nope it didnt work for me. In the past week in storage has ballooned to more than a gig. I have to restore my phone anywhere from every couple weeks to a month because of the storage issue. Apps are writing to internal storage once installed. Thanks for trying to help with the situation.
Try something like SD Maid to clear the caches.
Google Play Services and other Google apks are notorious for building "useless" bloat data bases.
Make sure Google Firebase is disable.
Find the data hog 3rd party apps and take the trash apps out. Multiple browsers are prime targets.

Thanks for the tips! I did install SD Maid it's helped clear out space but still having the issue. I looked into disabling Google Firebase but I can't find where it's located? I don't have too many apps installed and just Chrome browser. Most stock apps are trashed.

You're welcome.
Phone settings under Google.
Disabling Google play Services probably will kill it too although the data will remain.

Yeah I can't find firebase under google settings. Disabling google services will make Google product apps stop working. I need PlayStore, Gmail and Maps etc.
