I have a Tesco Hudl 2 running Android 4.4.2. I have 9GB of total storage. But little free, despite not using much.
It shows a few GB in-use and 0.5GB free. The usage bar shows 80% available, but the table shows 581MB available. I used to have many apps installed, now there are fewer apps, and no room for more.
Total space 9.12GB
Avalable 581MB
Apps 1.58GB
Pictures 12.46MB
Audio 496kb,
Downloads 35.61MB,
Cached data 59.51MB
Misc 113MB
That is less than 2GB in-use, and 9GB - 2GB = 7GB ≠ 0.5GB
I have no idea what has happened to the rest of the memory. Can you tell me how to fix, or diagnose?
Note: I have read insufficient-memory wiki.
It has 16GB of internal storage, and according to various websites I should only see about 9GB of this. The storage tool shows about 9GB of total storage.
As requested, I ran Diskinfo & DiskUsage. DiskUsage shows System data of 6782 MiB, this appears to be the problem, but what is system data, and why so much?

. It does no show detail likedu
it gives overview likefdisk

. I can now see why the total is not 16GB (as advertised), but still have no idea what the 8.8GB is being used for.
