I've used Quick System Info PRO to get the lowdown on my application storage space (Internal storage space), and the numbers are not adding up... there are 159 MB unaccounted for that is being used up. Seeing as how we only have a little over 1GB of internal storage for apps and there are some apps which decide to store a lot of their code in internal storage, I'd sure like to figure out what is using up that 159 MB in case I can clear it out somehow.
I've wondered if perhaps this has something to do with fragmenting of the drive or perhaps "stuff left over" after uninstalling apps as some of you have mentioned, but I haven't found anything conclusive from searching online.
To figure this all out I used the Applications listing (the "All" listing) in the Quick System Pro and added up every app size (they added to 199 MB) and then compared it to the smaller number shown in the "Used" summary which shows when I click on "Internal storage" on the "Basic info" page (358 MB). All of these numbers in the Quick System Pro should be of a consistent "unit size", so I'm pretty sure I've got the numbers added up right. (and I am very aware of the whole power of 2 issue which confuses everyone regarding KBytes, MBytes, etc. - for example, 1 MB is 2 to the power of 20 Bytes = 1,048,576 Bytes -> but I am very sure that is not what is messing up my calculations, and even if it was it wouldn't make much dent in the 159 MB unaccounted for space).
Any ideas?
