Help Internal storage discussion (apps, errors)

Extended storage phone.

Set EStrongs File Explorer so that it comes up at the root directory, aka /

Your internal storage marked for default sd card use is /sdcard and if you have an actual sd card, it's at /sdcard/ext_sd aka /sdcard2.

If you want to root, you can swap the definition of the two.
 
I keep getting an error that my SD card is full, for instance when I try to take a photo or when I try to save a photo.

What I don't understand is that my SD card shows that I have plenty of space?

I need help on what is going on here, because it is super annoying.

Thanks for all the help!

The message is really about the phone storage which is a virtual SD card. Thus why the actual SD card is listed as ext_sd. Just move some of the stuff to your actual SD card. You can control where the pictures are saved in the settings of your camera program. It can be set to Phone Storage (the virtual sdcard) or SD card which is ext_sd.

This.

I have no clue why they would name it that way, but when there is a phone that has both the internal storage and external micro sd slot/card, the phone storage is named SDCard. I wish it were just called phone storage, so as to not confuse people.

Based in those pics, the internal storage needs some cleanup.
