Hi,

I realized that after installing and removing some android apps the used memory did not get freed (mainly games with a lot of space requirements).

I found the data of the uninstalled apps in /data/data and erased it manually. After this I got back to the "original" disk space.

Is this a bug, or is there any way that this problem can be solved?
