A 2015 ritual meets A/B updates. When wiping the cache partition helps, when the option doesn’t even exist, and why Safe mode answers better questions.

The error is a bucket problem, not a total problem. A cause-ordered triage: real space, app debris, Play Store state, and the second-space trap.

The 2014 advice meets current hardware. Where SD app-moving still works, why A2 cards matter, and why your camera roll is the cargo that belongs on the card.

A 14 GB Spotify lump isn’t cache — it’s your download shelf at Very High quality. The in-app controls that shrink it without touching your library.

Uninstall removes the app, not its traces. A safe corpse-hunting method: identify owners by package name, check inside, and evict — including game OBB giants.

File lists hide the culprit; block maps can’t. A complete guide to reading DiskUsage scans, translating blocks into fixes, and tracking growth over time.

Storage full doesn’t mean delete your memories. Offload originals, archive apps, evict the non-photo squatters, and shrink what the camera makes next.
