The "Application Data" is your "/home/user/" directory, or actually the partition "/dev/mmcblk0p3" on your device.
You can access the content from console when you have developer mode enabled.

Isn't there a file manager on the device that could access the partition? Like Filebox on the N900.

Yes, you can install filebox but the problem might be how to install it if your drive is already full

Your device normally has the internal flash memory divided in 3 partitions, let's call them different disks.

The size of the disks differs whether you have 16G or 64G device, so that on both types the size of the MyDocs changes, other disks are always the same size. (unless you change the sizes, of course...)

So, on 16G device you have:
  • /dev/mmcblk0p1 ..... (MyDocs) ..... 9G
  • /dev/mmcblk0p2 ..... (root) ............ 4G
  • /dev/mmcblk0p3 ..... (home) ......... 2G

On 64G device you have:
  • /dev/mmcblk0p1 ..... (MyDocs) ..... 56G
  • /dev/mmcblk0p2 ..... (root) ............ 4G
  • /dev/mmcblk0p3 ..... (home) ......... 2G

Each of these disks are used for different things, and can have different filesystem format.

MyDocs is used to store your music, pictures, etc.personal data.
home is used for setup data of your applications.
root is used for the applications themselves.

Normally MyDocs is formatted as FAT32 because that disk can be mounted to an external computer as an USB memory when you connect the cable and select the memory export option.

root and home disks are formatted as ext4fs which is more advanced filesystem but cannot be recognized by windows computers.

Hi jucieme, Thanks for the info about the memories. Its pretty clear now for me. Anyways, I am also facing the same problem as pinkfloyd1971. The application data is filling up pretty quickly. Mine is almost 720 MB is full and out of that 705 MB is taken by "Other Installations". I never understood what this other installations are and how do we clear it up. Please help.

hello,

this is a very newbie problem (i hope).

my application data (which is 2,1 gb, like everyone else's) is full.
this is caused mainly by wazapp, which is responsible for the usage of 1,3 gb. this is because i have a lot of stupid friends that send me a lot of stupid images via wazapp.

this causes a lot of side effects, like not being able to use the main facebook application ("account disabled". i checked into accounts and it seems enabled, but the app shows the "account disabled" message).

i bet there is some way to get rid of all the stupid data that i don't intend to keep. uninstallin wazapp doesn't help.

i hope you will help me.

thank you
br
ivan

p.s. is there a way to make wazapp save all the stupid images etc into the user data (57,6 gb for me) and not into the tiny app data?

Hi. I'm having this problem, and using HMTsu and Filebox I was able to pare /home/user/ .qmt down to 240+ MB from 700+, but I can't delete the rest. Thankfully my mails seem to still be there. Settings/Application usage (and df -h) still report more than 1.5GB used on the Application data partition. Using FolderPie I see that /home/user/.thumbnails is using almost 500MB. Is it safe to delete .thumbnails and how can I do it? Thanks.

[edit: no, in the end, I had to delete all mail accounts, rm -rvf /home/user/.qmf as *regular* user, and then reconfigure my mail accounts. It solved the bug where one of the accounts did not notify of new mails, though ]
