My Sony Xperia tablet says I'm using over 75% internal memory, I've transferred videos,pics etc to the sd card, but still I m using over 13Gb of memory in misc data files. Is it safe to delete those files?
Thanks in advance
 
Need to know exactly what those files are. You can also go over any apps you don't need that you can remove. Usually deleting files without knowing exactly what the file is leads to trouble.
 
*hang-the-9, thanks for your reply, unfortunately in storage setting it just shows as misc data, it doesn't break it down further. Using my file explorer, it gives much more detail but the biggest visible file in misc data is only 76kb, but there are 2 hidden files which I can't view presently, which is where the space is taken.
Unwanted apps are already deleted, photos and videos are all moved to SD card.
Frustrated
