So I took the risk and deleted the contents of that bloody Misc folder. Got my 1.9 GB back. Now free storage is 2 GB+. But phone is still hanging, apps are still crashing, especially WhatsApp.
The phone has a 4000 mAh battery which is not giving expected backup. Storage is draining unexpectedly, battery is draining unexpectedly.
Can somebody please tell me what the actual fuck is going on? -
@theNSA @PonySlaystation Anyone?
-
@Cyanide I think you should check for any application or system app running in the background.
Sucking up your resources. -
@arcadesdude Yes. But this is not the problem. No app is behaving properly including Play Store.
-
@Nitin1607 I cleaned up my phone. Uninstalled some apps, cleared cache, and deleted Misc folder contents. I have around 3 GB free space now. But the phone is still hanging. RAM is always 1 GB+ free. So, I don't even know what could be the problem.
-
@endor Done. Many times. Nothing.
-
@paranoidAndroid Play Store is not even opening homepage, let alone installing a new app.
-
@bittersweet No, it's the internal memory.
-
@electrineer dalvik/art cache - how?
-
@BigBoo Around 2.5 years.
-
@stackodev I don't know man :(
-
-
@Nitin1607 No. And no.
-
@drGreat5 It's not about storage or memory anymore, like I said earlier. The phone is hanging for no reason.
-
@Cyanide From recovery but I don't know if stock recoveries have the option. Easiest way to solve your problems may be to perform a factory reset.
-
@Cyanide you can probably clear the cache partition with the stock recovery but it doesn't usually solve my problems
-
@electrineer I'll do reset, I guess.
-
@Cyanide if you have sufficient free space for the phone to act properly but it still isn't then try backing up and doing a factory reset.
-
@Cyanide Cryptominers do that. They take over your processor causing the storage and hanging issues
-
@ceee Ok, shit, sorry, yes.

It all makes sense now...
What the real fuck?! My phone's storage is decreasing automatically. I am not doing a fucking thing! And it's still going on. Only 145 MB of free storage is left. My phone is hanging a lot and apps are crashing. I can't do a fucking thing on my phone!
I checked storage in settings. Everything looks fine. But the Misc. This fucking thing is holding 9.85 GB, and when I open it, it shows only 1.9 GB. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!
AAAAAAAAAA!!
Anybody?
