I keep getting this annoying message on my SGS2 every few days as my device memory keeps going below about 250 MB. But I can't see what's taking up the space all the time and what to delete to get much more memory back. USB storage however has over 5GB available.
Storage space running low

Thanks for the link portmanfw. Will give it a go.
Orcvader, when it gives me the option for SD card, example, trying to move Google Earth, it always says 'Unable to move app. Not enough storage space'. I don't have any external card inserted, so how do I move apps to my built in usb storage instead?

Orcvader, yep, I'm finding it a bit confusing. There's no SD card in my phone at all. I updated to android 4.1.2 months ago. Does that mean I'm not on stock samsung firmware or is that something different? Looking in application manager, there's only 16 apps that have found their way into the 'On SD Card' column, most of which I downloaded plus some default apps like iplayer, google play services, google play store and samsung push services. Going through the 'All' column, those are the only apps that give me the option to move to SD Card, but they're already on there anyway (well, internal memory presumably). For everything else, the 'move to SD Card' is greyed out.
Also, google earth shows only 4.39MB on SD Card. It says:
Storage
Total 44.18MB
Application 20.79MB
USB storage app 0.00B ?
Data 764KB
SD Card 4.39MB ?
Cache 18.24MB
So I can't move the rest of it, and it says nothing under USB storage, yet it says I have an SD card.
Bigboy, thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into this Slimkat then, sounds good!
postmanfw, about the microSD, yeah, that would solve a lot of problems. Which one do you recommend that would also be cheap? Can I assume that the 'Move to SD Card' option will become available for many more apps, given the confusing information above?

Awesome! I'm so happy right now. I tried this when you first suggested it but it didn't work, kept getting 'USSD code running'... and then 'Connection problem or invalid MMI code'. That was using my installed exDialer app. Decided to try it just now using the default dialer and it worked! Didn't even have to dial the code, just typed it and this menu came up. Did the second option 'Delete Dumpstate/logcat' and instantly it deleted the logs and the damned low storage icon finally disappeared from the display. It was always odd why I had 1.97GB total internal storage, only 526MB of apps yet less than 200MB available. meaning 1.4GB of storage had somehow gone missing. Now I have 1.38GB of available storage.
Seems that a lot of people had the same issue
