Huge increase in system storage from FP3+ to FP5

[mpolito1969]

Hi all,

after completing the configuration of my FP5 and having it exactly equal (in terms of installed apps) to my previous FP3+ I had a look at the storage usage in “Settings → Storage”.

In my FP3+ system storage accounted for 13 GB while in the FP5 it raised up to 29 GB (and I think it still lacks storage used by app caches as they are still empty now).

So… same OS (Android 13), same apps installed, the system storage is increased more than twice.

Can anybody understand the reason?

Ciao,
Max

My FP5 says 41GB is used for System. I wonder why there’s such a big difference.

Hi
allegedly its an ‘Android hasn’t settled in’ problem. Every update is in cache till some weeks/restarts.

That wouldn’t be perfect but at least it would be going to solve by itself.

I’ll check every now and then and let you know.
