Saving Space on the S3

I was running out of space already, thanks to pictures and a lot of podcasts, so I FTPed into my S3 and checked out the stats with WinDirStat (great little program, obviously it works on any directory/drive on Windows) that graphically shows what's taking up space.

I have a TON of wallpapers on my external SDCard, near on 5 gigs. The thumbnails the Gallery app creates (or maybe one of my other gallery apps created) are huge, two directories with 1 gig of thumbnails.

They are located at \DCIM\.thumbnails if you want to delete them, though they will probably be recreated if you don't clean your pics and wallpapers at some point.

Also, if you use Google Music, it doesn't seem to clean its cache very often. You can go to \com.google.android.music\cache\music and clean that up or clean cache from App Manager will probably do the same thing.
