I have no real knowledge of the workings of the Android OS, so please forgive me if I'm asking stupid questions.
I'm on MM, internal storage reports that the Android system is taking up 9.42GB of space.
However, after deleting various Sony and Google bloat in /system, I found that it STILL reports 9.42GB used.
I am positively sure I deleted hundred of MB of files, so I highly doubt that's the real number.
I presume that 9.42GB is actually just the size of the partition reserved for the Android system, as opposed to the actual size of files taking up space.
If true, then there must be lots of potentially wasted free space on there that I could use.
How do I reclaim the unused space? Is there a tool to easily do it? I couldn't find any information related to Xperias, most were discussing Nexuses.
I'm rooted, so I don't have FOTA concerns. I don't necessarily need to reclaim every single bit that's not used if it's wise to leave a certain amount of free space for the OS to work with.
But if say it's only really using 4GB, and needs 1GB extra, then I'd like the remaining 4GB back.
If it affects or prevents me from updating to future stock firmware releases, please also let me know.
Thanks!
