I'm having problems with my onboard device storage. It started out with 160MB free space, but now its down to 3 MB. I haven't installed any other apps( I deleted most ) yet the space will go down to 1MB then I will have to perform a battery pull. What's causing this?

The culprit seems to be the "Other Storage" Category.  It starts as zero and then grows until it consumes all free space.  If I do a battery pull along with clearing Cache and unchecking all universal search categories, it will go down to zero but within 8 hours, it is back up to the 160 MB which is all of my free space.  I can't do battery pulls every 4 hours as I have a case that is difficult to come off. 

What is in the "Other" category under Application Storage?  I have deleted most old emails and text messages.  I don't store any videos or pictures on the phone.  I actually wiped the memory card because I thought that could be an issue.  I only have roughly 4 apps and those are some of the very basic ones, no games. 

Help, I just want to know what is in Other.

"Other" refers to as the cache and temporary files saved by the running applications in the background and applications that were used.

Any idea to which programs create this much cache and temp files?

[Ronbob]

Any application that is constantly accessing the internet.

Thanks Ronbob, is there a way to see the breakdown of the "Other Application Storage" and to deal with removing the problem application/files?
