I have a Samsung Galaxy J-1 and after receiving a notification that my storage was Low, I deleted all app cache, deleted items from the gallery, moved an app to the SD card, and deleted an app.
I still only have 711mb of space left. When I went into my settings look at storage it shows miscellaneous files using a ton of space. As I have no idea what a lot of these files are, how do I find them-identify , view - and know what they're for what they do and if I need them. This is just a couple of them .ravesocial/ /hyprmxshared/ baidu. Thank you for your help.
 
If you are able to delete them from to stock storage manager, then those are personal files. The rest is system.
When a device is listed as having 8Gb of internal storage, the common misconception is that is USER space. It is not. It is shared with the system.
