I tried to uninstall some applications but that didn't do the trick. I only had like 100MB of free space. Then I found that there are like 1.8Gigs of log files stored in the /data/log directory which I don't really care about.</p> <img alt="Android storage warning" src="https://nasser.space/images/androidStorage.png"> <p>So in order to free some space, I ran the following commands from the terminal:</p> <div class="code"><pre class="code bash"><a id="rest_code_3e9a4685ea5a4451b3b8bc3b0cf38eae-1" name="rest_code_3e9a4685ea5a4451b3b8bc3b0cf38eae-1" href="https://nasser.space/posts/android-storage-space-running-out/#rest_code_3e9a4685ea5a4451b3b8bc3b0cf38eae-1"></a>$<span class="w"> </span>su<span class="w"> </span>- <a id="rest_code_3e9a4685ea5a4451b3b8bc3b0cf38eae-2" name="rest_code_3e9a4685ea5a4451b3b8bc3b0cf38eae-2" href="https://nasser.space/posts/android-storage-space-running-out/#rest_code_3e9a4685ea5a4451b3b8bc3b0cf38eae-2"></a>$<span class="w"> </span><span class="nb">cd</span><span class="w"> </span>/data/log <a id="rest_code_3e9a4685ea5a4451b3b8bc3b0cf38eae-3" name="rest_code_3e9a4685ea5a4451b3b8bc3b0cf38eae-3" href="https://nasser.space/posts/android-storage-space-running-out/#rest_code_3e9a4685ea5a4451b3b8bc3b0cf38eae-3"></a>$<span class="w"> </span>rm<span class="w"> </span>*.log </pre></div> <p>It'll ask for root permissions when u run the first line.
