Puzzled by android math on internal drive space
I just moved Audible to external card, which is close to 5 GB used space! I did tell the App to store in external drive, but it still showed up in internal drive.

Here is what my drive says now:

Samsung internal drive
339.4 mb available
used 5.04 gb
5.38 capacity

android 21.1 mb
backups 113.6 mb
DCIM 573 kb
ebooks 16 kb
external sd 49 kb
fonts 4.8 mb
image 1.6 mb
mantano 6.9 mb
manual-pcprogram 77.8 mb

How can that be?

Is there a way to cleanup the wasted space? Maybe I am math challenged

When I was an aircraft technician and then even later when I flew, we had an expression for such cases.

There would be a problem. A definite problem.
We would look at it and ponder and study the manuals and ask people questions, and then "Kaboom" it was O.K. though we really never did anything that we knew of.

We called that an "RBI."

"Repair by Inspection."

Glad to be able to help.

That sounds scarey when dealing with a airplance, but a little android malfunction puts in all in perspective.

If it were the IS&T Dept. they would say reboot it. That was always their fix.

Actually that is what I did, unplug look at it, plug look at, again, repeat.
