If you've been getting the annoying  out of storage space or storage space running low on your Mediatek (MTK) Android phone then this guide will describe several methods for fixing this issue.

Steps to fix low storage space on a Mediatek (MTK) Android phone


Follow the steps below to fix running low on storage space in Mediatek phones

Install apps to SD card instead of Phone storage

  • Insert an SD card in the phone
  • Go to Settings > Storage
  • Change Default Write Disk from Phone storage to SD card
  • Go to Settings > Apps > Select the App > Click Move to SD card
  • Restart the phone 
  • For newer Android devices, use the Adoptable storage technique

Clear app data (root required)


Follow the steps described at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-19111.html

Factory Reset


Go to Settings > Backup & Reset > Factory reset or boot into recovery mode to do a Factory reset. This will clear up used storage space but you'll lose your data so its important to backup important stuff before going ahead with this approach.

Internal Storage Expansion (Old Mediatek chipsets)


If you have a PC then use the ebr tweak to easily increase your internal memory / storage

Deleting Logs (Old Mediatek chipsets)

  • Download ROM toolbox
  • Root your phone
  • Install and Launch ROM toolbox, grant super user access
  • Launch root browser
  • Navigate to data > log and empty the contents of the log folder.
  • Ensure your apps are set to install on SD Card.

Not all phones have the log folder. and not all have two ebr files. what you can do in this case is to intall apps to sd card instead of phone storage
