Take the 2-minute tour ×  As an owner of a Nexus One running
Gingerbread, I'm continually fighting to keep free space in my
phone's Internal Storage. Today, I noticed something odd.  The
bottom of Andorid's "Manage applications" screen shows a bar
graph that reports the phone's "Internal storage" (I have 29M
free). When I click into an app, I can see storage for the
"Application", and for the app's "Data". The application, in
most cases, is stored on the SD Card. The application's "data"
is stored on the phone (I presume).  What I'm finding is that
I'm not seeing the whole picture of what is taking up Internal
Storage. For example, I have 29M free in Internal Storage. The
Angry Birds app, which is stored on the SD card, is 3.14M. It's
Data is 4.0K. I then delete the Angry Birds (gasp!), and my free
Internal Storage jumps up to 31M. So it looks like it's freed up
2M, when I only would have expected it to free up 4.0K. Any idea
what's going on here?  share|improve this question  5 Answers 5
