Hello -
I've had problems with freeing available space on my Huawei T-Mobile MyTouch running Gingerbread. (Yes, it's old.) Today I installed a new 16GB SD card. I currently don't have any more issues with space but I'm trying to figure out as much as I can about it. I've heard this phone has a huge amount of bloatware, which seems to be the case.
I've installed the apps DiskUsage (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage&hl=en) and Clean Cache (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bazinga.cacheclean) and App Mgr III (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd). I'm wondering about what I see when I run DiskUsage. In the "View" menu it shows the options "App Storage", "Storage card", "/HWUserData" (I assume the HW stands for Huawei) and "/mnt/sdcard". Inside App Storage it shows a large block called "Data" that's 881MiB and includes "Applications", "System data", and "Free space" (90.8 MiB). (I don't understand why this doesn't also include the contents of "/HWUserData".) Storage card contains a block that's also called "Storage card" that's 239 MiB. Then /HWUserData is a block of 1.99 GiB (I'm assuming this is all of the internal memory of my phone) and inside it, among other things, is a block called "Android" (1.75 MiB) and a huge block called "Free space" (1.98 GiB). Can I install whatever I want in that free space? Because it doesn't seem like I have that much free space. And then in /mnt/sdcard is a big (14.8 GiB) block called "/mnt/sdcard" and "Apps2SD" (the alternate name of App Mgr III), but mainly a 14.8 GiB block of free space. Why is this larger (much larger) than what I get when I scan "Storage card"?
