Android 4.2.1 - Operating System Storage is occupying too much space Dunno if this is a proper question to ask here, my problem is about the storage of my android on the internal memory. I have 16gigs of sd card, 16 gigs internal storage as well, but I am seeing this on my android's storage settings:



It looks so weird and I cant install apps, even though I choose sdcard for storage/installation location.

The brand is Coolpad 8903, possibly not on sale anywhere out of China, but this looks like os issue i suppose...

anyone knows how to fix this problem so i can free some storage?
That device is partitioned very oddly.  It looks like they took 4GB and left it to device storage, and then the other 12GB are partitioned for an internal SD card.

That's about the correct size that the Android system would be using - but what is troubling is that they only left ~1GB or so for user-installable applications.  I doubt there are any ROMs or recoveries available for your device, so I think the best solution would be to move as many applications as you can over to your SD card, therefore freeing up space to download more (and then subsequently move them as well).
