I have a Lenovo S5 with 64gb internal storage. I had this problem for a while now, so i really need some help.

Any file manager that I can find sums up all my files and aplications at under 20 gb, however i only have 3 gb free.

About 40 gb are filled with invisible/unfindable files. I looked online for answers many time, and I tried using "Android terminal emulator" with the command "df -h" and got this result, can anyone make something of it?

Starting point: our storage tag wiki has some pointers on how to find out what "ate" your storage. – Izzy May 26 '21 at 20:39

There is one simple answer: You as the use and your apps don't have access to those files. Therefore those files are "invisible" to you. That is the Android storage design. – Robert May 27 '21 at 07:49
So how do I delete those files (or are they actually part of apps, but not registered so?) – Alex May 27 '21 at 10:15

basically yes, not all apps will delete it's files on uninstall. factory reset will solve this – alecxs May 27 '21 at 11:08

Does this answer your question? What Is Using Up My Storage/Data on Android Phone? – alecxs May 27 '21 at 11:13
