System Data on External SD taking up over 20GB - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

My memory card today told me I was running low which I found odd.
Upon checking I noticed System Data was taking over 20GB of room.
Before using this memory card on this phone I formatted it as set it up for external use
I have been searching on google for a while and cant find any reason for this or how to fix it
Any ideas?
thanks

Found a fix
From your phone dialler, dial *#9900#
Tap on Delete dumpstate/logcat and it will show you dump result. Click okay and exit and reboot

Dial *#9900#
is working for some mobiles only.
Not for all. Others are still finding it difficult to get rid of insufficient memory message popping up when updating apps.
This problem is big and most users are suffering.
No other way than to format a mobile / factory reset.

*#9900# doesn't work on AOSP roms -.-
Edit:
Unplugging the MicroSD card, putting it into a Windows PC, and putting it back to Android changed the files. They showed up as Found.00 and i could delete them.

I kind of got the same problem.....
I realized that everytime I have the "Faster Transfer" option chosen in "Settings>Connection>Usb to PC" I am only able to reach my storage card but not my phone....
So uncheck that and you'll probably be able to copy to your phone

Internal Storage problems

Please, I need a lot of help,
I have a MB 525 (I've given a searched around here and couldn't find anything!)
I installed the CM9 (CM9-NIGHTLY-120902-Defy) and I can not install any type of application, nor by APK's and not by GOOGLE PLAY for one simple reason, the ROM is unable to recognize the internal memory of the phone (the sd card it's all OK) and I also can't install them directly on the SD card, since I can't install the APP2SD I'll show you guys a picture.
Oh, and also the OS restarts often without any apparent reason.
Please help me!
(And if I'm posting this somewhere wrong forgive me, to very desperate and still do not know very well this forum thanks for the time ....)

the green list is the internal memory 0, 00 MB ¬ ¬ '
The same has happened to me, exactly same! Did you do the factory reset? I did and got this problem. Probably Sndinit was in the internal memory and got wiped because of factory reset. I got this problem after factory reset. Somebody help please!

[Q] Phone thinks no storage left!! help

So my SM-G900H keeps giving me the "internal storage running out" warning even though in storage settings it says I have 14.98gb of free space. I also took out the SD card now to eliminate that factor and still this message is there. It doesn't let me install apps because it says there isn't enough storage space for them. However, it still Downloads the app no problem, error pops up when it tries to install it. I went through the whole internet and couldn't find anything. Any ideas? Thanks!

The entire internet, huh? How long did that take you to do?
Anyway, back to reality - a forum search usually fixes issues like this. It's a good habit to actually search before posting, as it often gives you an instant answer. And at least lets you pose better informed questions.
Try the solution in the top search result. And failing that, restore a backup or write a 100% stock firmware image to the phone to correct obscure system corruption.

[FIX] Can't see some folders when connected to PC

I have read on various Android blogs and facebook pages , People complaining that they can't see/access some of the files/folders of their Android Internal or SD storage when connected to PC via USB cable on MTP Mode. Most of the people using HTC Desire 820/820q/820u etc are facing this problem and many have asked for help on XDA and have been asked to install some sort of file manager or something else, yet they complained it didn't work for them.
What you need to do is Go to Settings > Apps > All apps > Search for Media Storage and External Storage > Clear data for both of them.
(You won't lose your personal data by the way)
Boom Now connect you device to PC and you can see all the folders.
Don't forget to hit Thanks button if this helped.:good:

did all the steps, now it says " this folder is empty" on my massive storage. what happened

App requires external storage

After I successfully installed this rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/development/rom-havoc-3-0-gsi-fixed-build-huawei-t4014127) on my WAS-LX1 I have been getting an error message saying that I don't have sufficient internal storage when I actually have 20GB storage left. I have tried to reinstall the rom and tried to install a new one (https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/development/rom-lineageos-17-1-huawei-p10-lite-t4064115) and I still keep getting the same message. I resized every partition I could on twrp but nothting happened. Although I can download certain apps, most of playstore apps keep giving me the same error. Moreover Chrome keeps crashing, and I can't use the camera. I have searched it on google and I tried to clean cache and storage from google play services and play store but it wasn't fixed. Is there any way to fix this?
