I never really use a phone for apps or internet, but the phone is showing that the 8GB of memory is nearly all taken up, but i have nothing on the phone in the way of apps, photos or anything. Only 33 MB showing in storage taken up in apps. Only a Google account open all the time.
At first i thought i might be stupid but......quite alot of ''Samsung Galaxy J2 prime storage issues'' on the web.
Does the OS really take up all that space? How can i find out what's really using all that memory?
Or is there any fix?
Found this ;
Hi i think i can help you here.
I bought the same phone and you are correct system and samsung apps consume about 4.7 gig leaving a small 3.3 gig or less for the user.
I connected to playstore updated the existing programs added a few of my own then was stunned to see that like you i had only about 500mb internal storage left and was receiving insufficient storage messages. I had to find out what was causing the problem so i reset the phone and started again.
Updated the existing programs only and was amazed to see the 2 gig of internal storage disappeared purely from preinstalled apps !
Solution was to go back and uninstall the updates to each app and then internal went back to 3.3 gig !
To prevent the apps from auto updating you need to go to playstore and remove the auto update setting.
To be doubly sure then go to settings apps and disable each app.
You are then left with 3.3 gig internal storage for your own use.
Samsung this storage issue is ridiculous you provide the user with 3.3 gig internal storage and your own programs imediately chew up 2gig after updating, leaving the user with 1.3 gig and we all know that the system needs 500 to 600 mb free to download update apps, therefore you are providing user available rom of about 800mb, crazy !
Finally all the imbedded apps cannot be removed only disabled even though user may not want.
Sorry so long message, in summary uninstall updates to imbedded apps, remove auto update then disable.
Hooe this helps
