So I took the risk and deleted the contents of that bloody Misc folder. Got my 1.9 GB back. Now free storage is 2 GB+. But phone is still hanging, apps are still crashing, especially WhatsApp.
The phone has a 4000 mAh battery which is not giving expected backup. Storage is draining unexpectedly, battery is draining unexpectedly.
Can somebody please tell me what the actual fuck is going on? -
@Cyanide I think you should check for any application or system app running in the background.
Sucking up your resources. -
Install the app "DiskUsage". It will show you graphically where the space is going. So far I always found the problem with this app. Most of the time it was that silly LOST.DIR taking up 10GB of space ðŸ˜
-
Is it a separate SD card, or one you can mount as mass storage?
I'd check it out from a PC, maybe check it for bad sectors as well. -
@arcadesdude Yes. But this is not the problem. No app is behaving properly including Play Store.
-
@Nitin1607 I cleaned up my phone. Uninstalled some apps, cleared cache, and deleted Misc folder contents. I have around 3 GB free space now. But the phone is still hanging. RAM is always 1 GB+ free. So, I don't even know what could be the problem.

@paranoidAndroid Play Store is not even opening homepage, let alone installing a new app.

@drGreat5 It's not about storage or memory anymore, like I said earlier. The phone is hanging for no reason.
-
@Cyanide From recovery but I don't know if stock recoveries have the option. Easiest way to solve your problems may be to perform a factory reset.
-
@Cyanide you can probably clear the cache partition with the stock recovery but it doesn't usually solve my problems
-
@Cyanide if you have sufficient free space for the phone to act properly but it still isn't then try backing up and doing a factory reset.
-
@Cyanide Cryptominers do that. They take over your processor causing the storage and hanging issues

It all makes sense now...
What the real fuck?! My phone's storage is decreasing automatically. I am not doing a fucking thing! And it's still going on. Only 145 MB of free storage is left. My phone is hanging a lot and apps are crashing. I can't do a fucking thing on my phone!
I checked storage in settings. Everything looks fine. But the Misc. This fucking thing is holding 9.85 GB, and when I open it, it shows only 1.9 GB. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!
AAAAAAAAAA!!
Anybody?
