Where is all my memory going?

[svtjackal]

I have read all the threads related to memory issues for the last 2 hours I have done all that is mention on said threads and my memory still at 20.00MB to 22.00MB and I always get the memory warning at below 20.00MB's And every time that happens I just keep deleting apps but at this point I have deleted almost all my apps all I have left are the ones that I have moved to the SD card but my memory still pretty low to the point where when I get a text I get the memory warning,

I have deleted the browser cache my phone is stock, no custom anything, please if someone knows where all my memory has gone please please help me out, I am about to trow this phone against the wall.

What is the precise error you get that pops up from the Android OS.

[svtjackal]

I just get the message that says low internal memory or something like that

just because you moved those apps to sd doesnt mean they arent taking up space. the app data still goes into the phone. i bet those apps are large. deleting a bunch of tiny apps wont make any difference. youll probably have to uninstall a large app or game(or two).

Not a good answer. Sorry! Atleast not from what was described. If yesterday you had sufficient memory. The days before that you had sufficient memory. But today from nowhere you go from,... oh, lets say 30 MB to 17 MB. You start deleting apps that didn't cause the memory problems before. That still doesn't seem to get solve the low memory issue.

So, what's up with that? A bug of some kind!?

well I found my problem,

I was about to do a hard reset or just break down and get the NEXUS S, but decided to take a look at everything before going that route,
lately all I could do is keep my memory at 20.00 MB I could not even use the browser or get a e-mail or a text with out getting the stupid low memory warning, so I started looking on my e-mail accounts and noticed that the trash folders had about 1500 e-mails on each of my 3 e-mail accounts on my phone, so I deleted all the e-mails on the trash folders and my memory went from below 20.00 MB's to over 90.00 MB's, so if anybody has the same problem as I did and is not too tech savy as I am that I didn't check the trash folders, there is your answer clean your trash folders.

now I am in love with my NEXUS ONE again.

I've tried pretty much everything, and just can't manage to free up sufficient memory to (for example) update Google Maps.

When I finally get my tablet, I think I will end up installing all my games on there, then delete them from the N1 to free up space. I really don't want to give up playing Angry Birds when I'm stuck in the airport between flights, but it seems like the only solution to my lack of free memory
