[...] of the problem, they don’t know (or won’t admit) how to resolve it. I suggest you read Howard Greenstein’s blog post and Christopher Dawson’s article on ZDNet and then set about removing as much of the Sense [...]

Change your message limit to only keep 200 messages. This is caused by all the crap txt messages you dumb dumbs never get rid of.

I realized it was Facebook for me. So I cleared it off and then reinstalled it. The phone was fine for a couple days, but now the message is back.

So I think I may have solved the issue. So the phone says low disc space but as with everyone on this forum who have checked their storage…their appears to be plenty. The problem seems to be that one program steals all of the storage and makes the entire phone bug out. Instead of factory resetting do some investigation as to what program may be leaching all of the space. Even if your memory says it has plenty…. one program is leaching it, trust me. For me, it was my text messages. I deleted a few huge threads and I think that should solve the problem. – Travis

Thanks Howard, I'm having the SAME issue. Low space, then had to hard reboot and lost all my apps, data, etc., Now, I'm getting warning again! Will check out the latest ZD update.

Thanks!

Just cleared my Facebook stuff and it immediately went away.

PS: Resynched my contacts with my desktop (via Companion Link USB) at the Contacts storage has shrunk to 3.79MB. Odd.

And, yes, everything is still there.

I had the same problem Howard described with the Contacts file. Mine was showing 85MB. When I cleared that, I began to receive GMail again. NO hard reset was necessary in my case.

I had the same problem on my Droid Incredible. I moved everything to the SD card that I was able to. That didn't work. I deleted the cache from every program I could think of and still nothing. I had Fennec, Dolphin, and Skyfire installed to give them a side by side comparison. Eventually I got the message to disappear after I removed Fennec. Fennec was horrible, slow and used to much space (although it didn't appear to be using much space compared to what I had available. I'm sticking with Dolphin.

A hard reset is not necessary, you just need to find the app causing the problem.

Clearing my motonav did it for me. I had forgotten I'd tried it out when i first got the phone. It was using more than 30MB on its on just for cache.
