How To: Get rid of ‘Application Data Space is Low’ on the Droid Incredible
A few weeks ago, I started getting a recurring notification on my Droid Incredible telling me that ‘Application Space is low’. After removing some apps and moving others to the SD card, the notification continued popping up. I checked the amount of space available for each storage device in the phone (memory, internal storage, and SD card), and all three had plenty of space left.
After some searching, I found that before a factory reset (something I did not want to do), some other users had found clearing application cache could solve the problem. You can do this by clicking the notification (or if it isn’t currently up, going to Setting > Applications), sort by size, then go through the largest applications (likely Mail, Facebook, Twitter, etc.), click the name, then click, ‘Clear Data’. After doing this for several of the largest apps (and moving apps to SD earlier), the notification has not returned for a few weeks now.
I wanted to post this in hopes that anyone else with this problem can solve it without a factory reset. Good luck!
