Something seems to be taken up a lot of space on my Note 4 but i do not know what it is. I have 32 gbs total on my device storage. I have another 32 gbs on an sd card but i usually download apps on the main drive. 3 gbs are taken up by videos. 5.7 by apps, another misc gb of stuff. By my calculations this adds up to roughly 10 gbs.There is something marked as others that seems to be taken up the rest. I cannot think of what others might be. Any ideas?

Get DiskUsage for a storage map -or- X-plore File Manager has one as well, and you can map in one pane and manage in the other.

Honestly, I find the built-in displays are pretty worthless for sorting out what's going on.

Thanks. I like the x-plore file manager. It took me a minute to figure it out & i'm still trying to figure out how i just have 4 gbs out of the 32 gbs that i have on the main internal storage. i guess its just an accumulation of everything because there doesn't seem to be one thing taken up all the space. I was able to most some stuff from internal storage to the external storage but i'm still at 28 gbs out of a possible 32 total.

The SanDisk app in the GooglePlayStore is another one that tries to make it easier to "see" everything,albeit a bit more on the basics side of things IIRC:

I'd almost forgot about DiskUsage,that one takes me waaaay back (in Android Years,akin to dog years,but,accelerated by a factor of 10
),arguably one of,if not the best,for making sense of what's what/where on your phone.
THX for the suggestion/reminder EM !
