Root Easy answer???

Not sure were to begin...first off bare with me on this if its something obvious and something normal? its just that i just noticed this and got a lil worried...here it goes...

On my incredible i had a 8gb micro sd card that ive used up basiclly got down to my last 89mb i also must mention that i am rooted running 2.3.4 and got lots of apps running...

So basiclly heres what i noticed...i had 89mb left well 89.something left and at that point i wasnt downloading any apps pics music point blank nothing...so with that said i noticed after a few hours or so the sd card memory of 89mb went down to 56mb and got a lil shocked..:confused:


Now i do understand alot of apps use or store cache or whatever on ur sd card data etc. But can this really be the cause of of my memory cards memory???? 89mb down to 50mb....

then finally i checked hours later and it said 0.0mb nothing left...then minutes later...it said 3.61kb whats going on here???
 
That does seem kind of strange, but then again, my SD card has always stayed above 1GB free so I wouldn't notice 100mb missing.... You could try downloading a cache cleaner (I think they clean caches from the SD card). Try NG cache cleaner in the play store.

I would think apps that use the most amount of cache space would be apps that stream data (music/movie players) and the Internet browser.
 
I appreciate ur advice...im going to try NG cache cleaner hopefully it cleans out my sd cache...if not ill find one that does...thing is now i got me a 16gb sd card i copied everything from my 8gb to my 16gb so as of now i got 6.45gb but it was 6.83gb u are right about the browser that can cache to the sd card...

Thing is tho im using dolphin browser hd and have cache to sd option turned off i havent streamed lately or downloaded cause im on cricket wireless and the throttle kicked in so i got to wait lol hope i get thi figured out...

Now if i try cache cleaner that cleans my sd card cache or whatever and it still happening could it be that its just apss or something that save cache to my sd card should i still be worried???

I wouldn't be too worried... unless you just start noticing your new SD card just filling up with data for no apparent reason.
