Low Internal Memory Mystery

[hammerhead13]

Some how my Note 2 Factory Reset itself. dont know how. I restored all my data and apps but for some reason it shows low internal memory. My internal memory is only using 1GB for apps and everything except Misc Files which i cant find out what it is. This is using ~5.5GB. Anyone have a Solution?

If it was in fact a factory reset it should have started out with the amount of storage you had when you bought it so either it didn't do the factory reset or it was incomplete.

Use this app to find out what's using the extra space. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage

My Phone restarted and then I noticed the whole setup wizard again and all my apps were gone. I have about 500mb free now and cant install anything. I tried installing the disk usage app but it fails.

After doing some digging I found a lost + found folder that was around 5GB. After deleting the contents and rebooting. I went from 548MB Available to 5.5GB Available. No more low storage space warnings.

One other thing you might already know, TouchWiz is a hog!! On my s5 misc files take up 5.6 gb!!
