13:23 How to clear Critically Low on Storage message
I'm at a loss. I'm at 97%. I've deleted almost all my apps and cleared all the cache. installed ES and I don't have any movies nor any installer files and I am literally banging my head against the wall trying to figure this out. I'm almost thinking I need to hard reset my firestick and start over with it? Your video was awesome though - very helpful for those who need it and possibly me in the future. Also super easy to follow. Thank you for taking the time to help those in need :)
Something was downloaded. Did you try restarting the firestick? Did you empty your trash on es file manager?
Thanks for the video omg I got that low storage space message on my fire stick today I'm so happy that you made this video cause I didn't have that many apk apps install on my fire stick I was wondering why that message was showing up. Please keep the content coming.
Always great info for us. THANKS, YOU ROCK!
From 89% to 72% space...this was very helpful...thanks a lot!
Just wanted to say thanks for a clear, helpful video! I consider myself pretty adept at dealing with issues like this and could not fix it without your help (and ES File Explorer lol). Appreciate it!
Thank you so much. Your tips and tricks on all things firestick are so valuable. In greatest appreciation... Much love to you and yours 💜🎬💜
I have gotten this message a few times so this will help. Thanks for sharing this
Thank you CC, have a great day thanks to you I'm a pro on clearing space, and having my firestick running smoothly😀👍❤
Thank you so much. Got it to work faster now and very informative.
Omg just followed your video cleared cache and apks now loads of storage thank you 😘🤗
Hi curiosity Cafe thank u for that video I had a little storage on my firestick it's doing great now it wz buffering alot I clear cache it's doing good thanks again
Great information Curiosity Cafe. 😎👍
Thanks for all the info. I hate the updates that I get almost every day. Other than that I haven't
had any problems because of your videos. Have a great weekend. 😊
Thank you CC for helping me clean up my fire stick, especially for letting me find ES file explorer, I couldn’t understand why Kodi was taking up so much space, over 2 GB which was giving me only about 600mb free space so when I went to install apps it was coming up not enough space.
I always cleared the cache and old apk files. I went into the logger section of ES Explorer and discovered that there was hundreds of photos (jpegs) from kodi, I was able to delete them and now the fire stick is around 50 % used. Brilliant
The best on RUclips...I had 660 mb left...did this got 2 gb left wow 👌 my firestick 🔥 got the fire back in it now....Thanks for this video
Thank you sir that was an easy video i had problem wirh it saying low storage now fixed download the program love it thanks again
This was a really great video - thank you !!
Thanks brother!!! Clearing the installer files freed up 1.54GB.
Now I just have to find your video on how to use my external (USB) drive for additional memory.
If you’d like to link me to it, I’d really appreciate it!
Keep doing what you do!!! 😊
Thank u, Curious Cafe 💘 the Content
Thanks for this video it helped me out a lot 👍🏻
Thank you again for the useful information
You saved me 2GB thanks, had no idea everything gets stored in the ES file app
thank you... I went from 97% to 67%.....awesome instructions.... awesome Instructor.... Sorry, it actually decreased to 41% because some of the files deleted were in the recycle bin. I forgot to remove the check mark....
Great information!!
Great Video Thank You
Thsnks mate, you are a Star
Thank you. Really useful
Thank you!

Thanks for the video
Good reminder

Ty CC
Thank you
Great video
Thank you! I had 2GBs of apks.
THANKS
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Omg hate those pre installed apps. But turns out it was mtv all along! Damn you drag race!!!!!! 😂 thanks good content 😊
Thanks for your video re. low storage, i clear my cache at least once a week, but today for the first time i was unable to clear cache on any app related to Amazon.
Your comments would be appreciated.
Great question. There is a flaw in the latest Amazon update. Until they fix it, focus on the apps that you added. Clear those.
Thanks for the great video. I'm curious about APK's that are not in the All apks folder but instead are listed in the User Apps folder. Can these be deleted as well?
Thanks
Installer files will be in the apk section. I wouldn't mess with others. Some might be system files
When trying to clear cache from Amazon live shopping, AppStore,prime video, silk browser and any other Amazon apps it kicks me right out and doesn’t allow me to clear out the cache. It always used to let me do it, what happened? Thanks C.C.
Yep, new update. That’s why I said to focus on ones you installed
Note: You can also clear cache for Amazon apps too. Especially for Screensaver, if you dont have that turned off.
There was a bug where you can't right now. Hopefully they fix that
Big fan of your video's it really helps me a lot and Miss the win fire tv stick contest please do start that contest So I can get a chance to win it
I cleared all the cache that I could. I still only have 356 MB free space so I cannot download the program you suggested to clear the apk installers. I don't think I have downloaded many if any apps. There were not many programs I could uninstall. How do I clear more space? Thanks.
Then you must have downloaded something. You need to find out what you downloaded. Do you have apps like tivimate or cinemahd? You can go in and delete those recordings
After looking behind the television we realize it’s a fire TV and I’m using a fire stick for it but there is no fire stick attached to the television. Is there another way to take care of that on the TV? Because I did everything you recommended we download it I don’t have any movies or music and no APK’s. Thank you.
Ok, so it's a fire tv edition. You can still clear cache and delete apps. You obviously downloaded something
Hi, I need your help regarding imdb tv. I am using a VPN and watching imdb tv on my Amazon fire tv stick 4k and fire tv 3rd generation and also on my VU smart 55" tv and really enjoying all the content. But I've also got a 2nd gen fire tv stick where in the content is opening but when I press play for watching, I get a error message 4003 why? I can't understand why it is not playing on fire tv stick 2nd gen but playing ok on fire tv stick 3rd gen and 4k.
Please help.
What vpn are you using?
What does it mean in settings under account & profile settings where it says sync Amazon content? Thanks curiosity café.
You are syncing content from all your Amazon devices
I didn't have enough space to download esployer so I had to restore factory settings in my firestick and then download the apps I wanted so now I have absolutely loads of storage and no more annoying reminders popping up on the screen telling me to remove apos
Great news. Hopefully you followed our guide to setting up the stick properly so you don't have the same issue in the future
I don't get that message but in the last couple of days I'm unable to watch the end of my programs! The screen goes dark and even though the counter continues, it just won't play even though the blue bar indicates the whole program is there. This has happened on 2-3 shows now and at first I was just like, ok, it's annoying but one of those things but now it's happening a lot!!
My cache looks like it's about 3/4 full with 1.76 GB of space. So frustrating. PS: I also get a "Temporarily unable to load content [4-402]" "Please try again later." Not acceptable. Any ideas what's wrong? Or where I can go for help?
I just need more information. You never mentioned which app you are using when this happens
Hi I've been deleting catch and some apps of my Fire stick light and the memory doesn't change is a factory reset the only option I hope not as a pain in the bum. Clearing catch on my other Fire stick works well though.
I would go into es file and see what’s taking the space. Also don’t forget to restart your firestick once in a while
@@CuriosityCafe thanks I'll give it a go.
Hi i tried out your Es file app, i did what you were saying click on the x at top of screen NOT the free trial but for some reason in my amazon account it has the file saying £0.00, this isnt the free trial is it as i dont want it if it is, how do i cancel it if it is, need help on this, or is this a standard thing it comes up in amazon as £0.00, it dont mention in amazon that it is a free trial, but i just want to be sure that it hasnt signed me up for a free trial & i pay the costs, need some advice thxs
I'm confused. Isn't zero free?
You would have to agree to terms and accept any charges.
ive not used free trials before so i thought maybe it says £0.00 until after a free trial, then charges, i cant see free trial attached to it in anazon, so maybe i did do it right, thxs
You should not have done the free trial. You just click the little x. Two totally different processes. If you did the trial, then you will get charged. You have to go into your amazon account and cancel. If you clicked the x to just use the free version, you do nothing
I woke this morning with a whole new cache problem, and am finding others are having the same problem, when I went to delete cache, it was kicking me straight out to settings not allowing me to delete cache, are they doing this purposely to crash all firesticks
You are referring to the Amazon apps. As mentioned in the video, focus on the ones you installed. Amazon apps new update currently won’t let you mess with their apps
Just bought a brand new 4K Firestick and it’s already full. Unfortunately, this video didn’t help me because the ES File program won’t work. You can open it, but there is no cursor and when I move the directional pad on the remote, it clicks, but nothing is ever highlighted. If I click enter, something random will open, but I can’t select anything specific. Maybe the program isn’t compatible with the new sticks. Not sure what to do now since there’s no storage available.
Factory reset the stick. Then set it up per our videos, and then go into settings and turn off some things. We have videos on both processes. You should have about 4GB free if done properly.

I followed your instructions completely. Cache clearly freed virtually no space. I followed part 2 the es part. I had zero space to be reclaimed. So I’ve got about 350mg out of the 5+gb. Now What? Delete apps. Wish you’d covered that!
Yes, the next step would be to delete unwanted apps. We did cover this in other videos. Maybe you missed some videos? This was a critically low storage fix video. Not a regular low storage issue. Click our channel name and we have them organized by playlist.
@@CuriosityCafe i only watched what to do when the Critically Low Storage notice appears. I learned things. I wasted a lot of time clearing cache on apps with 12kb. I should have known not to bother. I downloaded the program to uninstall the program used to add apps. While I followed along and was able to see everything as you went, I discovered nothing left over from downloading any apps. My fire stick has less than 400kb out of the 5.5gb which completely confounds me.
I would suggest looking at possible downloads and what apps you downloaded that you don't use. I have about 50 apps and over 1gig avail. I however don't use apps like Kodi that drain firestick resources. So look at the size of those apps. If you need help, reach out on patreon. Happy to help
Cache shows in Amazon aps, but when I try to go clear cache, it takes me right back to settings. How do we clear cache for Amazon aps? I saw this happening during your demonstration. Thanks
I mentioned in the video this question. Focus on the ones you installed. New update from Amazon won’t allow you to for theirs
Love the vids but I have a Fire TV with only 4 gbs of storage how do I add a usb drive to add it to the tv. Thanks as usual.
Don, we just posted this video a few days ago. Did ya miss it?
Click our channel name. It's just a few videos down
Thank you for this video. Cleaning the cache doesn't work for me. When I do it and look at it again it's full again.
Are you talking about MB? Or the very small KB that some apps are required to have? No way it “doesn’t work”
@@CuriosityCafe I'm using the latest fire stick. First I clean a cache and go to another item. When I return to that cache it is full again. I tried different ways like force stop first and then clean with no luck.
You didn't answer the question though. When the cache comes back is it KB amount?
Thanks for the advice I was at 95% now I’m at 88%
You didn't say that the remote won't get up to that x, i assume you need a mouse toggle installed to be able to click on the x?
It will, just hard to see
Thank your explaining this! Clearing the cache helps. I also tried the ES File Explorer, but when I went to All apks it says Empty Folder. Is that normal even though I do have several apps on my fire stick?
Either you didn’t install 3rd party apps, or you always clear them after installing. Good job
Hy Mr. Cc, i will like you to tell me how its posible that due to i have just one paid iptv on my firestick 4k, and this is on my internal storage and everytime when i make used of it, its popup low storage and to remove apps, and i do have my usb drive with must install apps and i do have still available 3.50 GB ON IT, and you can't uninstall the amazon apps and when low storage appears it sent you directly to the internal storage and all is from the amazon apps, so please what can you tel me about this, thanks, Pedro, from ARUBA.
Did you restart your firestick to clear the message?
is it posible to put my paid iptv on my external storage should help this issue?, i was thinking to do this but i do have to uninstall and install back again and this iptv seller has to give the opcion to uninstal and install back.
Did you use the es file manager to see what's taking up the space? We have videos on it. Likely an easy fix. You might have downloaded something or have apk installers still on there. Quick fix for you
This is the type of help we provide on patreon. Hopefully you go over there and search Curiosity Cafe so we can help further
qnd also how could i have 3.50 GB of available space in my internal storage ,due to must of my apps are on a USB flash drive? and still keep receiving this same issue of remove apps.
Hi under user apps, all apks I have nothing! but I am in the red with 82% space used? What now?
Clear your cache and find out what you downloaded that's taking the space. Click movies and look at your apps. Hopefully you don't have Kodi
I commented before that I could not get to the app to download it. I finally found where I could download it but as soon as I click download it just reverts back to the screen before. It will not let me download the app
You might not have space to download it. Clear your cache and delete any unwanted apps. Then restart your stick. Then you should be able to download the program
The freaking issue is that the apps wasting all my storage, ARE THE APPS AMAZON DOESN’T LET YOU DELETE. There is literally nothing I’ve added on my fire stick yet I’m “out of storage”.
Nathan, did you see the storage I had available on my latest video? There is a way to disable those apps so that it doesn't take up storage
@@CuriosityCafe no but I am about to
Hello I have this message but it will not go away . So I can get to setting and delete anything. What can I do?
If you clear cache and restart your stick it will go away
Thanks I would be so screwed with out this guy
Sir I tried all this & didn't work so should I just do what you did in one of them last 2 videos & just add those $20 storage apps.
What didn’t work? I’m confused. You cleared cache, deleted all downloads, cleared apks and most important restarted your firestick and you still have this message?
👍
Will this application also work with the Fire Tv.?
Yes
I have a brand new stick that I've had less than 10 hours I have not downloaded anything that didn't come pre-loaded on it so I'm only using the preloaded apps and I already I'm getting critically low
Initial setup you might have not done properly. Also are you pausing any live tv?
I used to be able to clear the cache from the Amazon apps also, but now I can't. When I try it takes me back to the home screen.
Yep
I deleted a bunch of stuff and I still get low storage. It wants to me to uninstall things I use like Bee tv and Cinema hd. I got rid of a bunch of stuff but it does not credit what I removed.
Did you restart the firestick to remove the low storage message?
I have a otg cable and 128 GB flash drive but es file explorer says it’s a SD micro card I’m doing something wrong
Have you tried to transfer to it? does it still work? Might just be language
I cannot delete any of my caches from Amazon apps or IMD. Please give me a suggestion
Amazon flaw for their apps. You can still clear from apps you installed until they fix the issue
Everytime I go and try to clear cache when I go back cache is still there. I have the new fire stick.
Can I ask a question? Are you talking about KB or MB? KB is like a grain of sand in a desert. I'm thinking you aren't taking the size into account. Some apps require this "grain" just to launch. Please clarify
Hi im going into downloader to download apps its downloading the file but downloaders coming up with a grey triangle and its not letting me down load the app dont now how to fix it also coming up with low storage
You just have to clean up your stick by deleting unwanted apps, clear cache and then restart your firestick. Super easy issue. We have many videos on this
@@CuriosityCafe cheer a will try it
Clutch information because I keep forgetting about the ES files.
I've followed every step. I have nothing installed except factory stuff and ES. I've cleared cache on every single program. I still can't get above 800 MB on a brand new Fire TV Stick 4k Max - Any other ideas?
Brandon, there is something downloaded if that's the case. When you open the esfile, whats under the apk installers? Have you cleared them?
I followed all of the directions and went from 100 to 67. Watching only 5 minutes and I got the critically low message again. What am I doing wrong?
Did you restart the firestick after? That’s clears the message.
Maaaan. I didn't have any of this stuff showing. I had to delete like 8 apps to install es file explorer and literally only have 3 things installed and still shows almost 0 memory. These things sucks
You just have to find out what's taking the space. All our sticks have over 4 gigs of internal space and 2TB of external space. Firestick is awesome if you watch the videos and learn how to use it. You clearly downloaded something or using an app for something that takes space (example pausing tv, or downloading a movie)
Also, did you restart your firestick after deleting? Gotta restart the firestick and power it down when not using it or it dwindles your storage in the form of cache
I’m getting this message and I have not installed any new apps. My apps are “grayed” out. I don’t have 500 mb on my device. My Firestick is old.
Clear cache, restart your firestick.
I called Amazon Support after I cleared Cache and deleted unused apps. They fixed it. I knew the message was erroneous. It’s something Amazon has done; still don’t know what. Thank you.
What if I only have RUclips tv, Netflix and Disney installed but the damn fire stick says I have 180mb left. I literally have nothing else and cleared all cache... I'm so confused right now
You downloaded something. Just have to find out what. If you can't figure it out, just reset it if that's all you use.
Keep in mind every time you pause RUclips tv, it stores the files.
I dont have enough storage to download esexplore even though I have cleared cache
You might have to delete an app you don't use. Keep in mind you have to restart your stick after clearing cache, you did that right?
Why if I move an app to the SD card does it still count against my internal storage?
It doesn't, Move to SD and removes it from internal (if done properly) vs just copying
As far as I can tell I moved them to the SD card (the little shadow of as SD card shows up next to the app icon) is there some other way to move them than clicking on the move to SD card action
I'm guessing you are using the older firestick (not the 4k max that moves easier)?
Click back on your internal and see if it's still there. Then you know. If you need private help, reach out on patreon. Could take hours to figure out what you are doing or not doing
Thanks for your reply. Actually, im not using a stick. My device connects to my TV via hdmi cable and I can connect to the router by ethernet or wifi. (I'm using wifi) it is an older device. No biggie I'll just delete stuff I don't need till this device no longer updates
Aww, I wasn't given that information. It's a completely different process for tv editions. This is a firestick video
Can't download es explorer. It's too full and nothing is on it. Ugh.
Let's fix it. Clear some apps, restart your stick. Then download it. All easy stuff
I use to have over 1 GB available. Well,…..looks like the Firestick did an update and took up all my space. I’ve deleted everything but my IPTV APP and Downloader and still getting low space alerts. WTF!
Did you clear your installers, then click restart on your stick? Easy fix. Our last video explains it
@@CuriosityCafe I did. I’m pretty savvy using the stick. Everything turned off, always delete packages from Downloader, always clearing my cache etc.
I just reset my Firestick to new, and of course it automatically downloads the newest update and I was paranoid as hell thinking it would fill up again and I’d be screwed but nope,……all is well and I now have more space now then I did before.
Not sure why my stick did this but I just turned off automatic updates and will run this stick how it is now and see how it goes.
So if anybody has this issue then the fox is to reset the stick as new.
Great! Yeah sometimes if you can't figure out where the storage went, that's the easiest way to do it. With es file explorer you can usually find out though without starting over
@@CuriosityCafe Yes,…..I always remove any & all installers when I install something. I’m still trying to understand how out of the blue i went from 1.3gbs of remaining space to 20 Mbps. Doesn’t make sense. I can only think that when the update happened that it also installed many more packets then needed?
when you cleared cache you skiped amazon apps amazon photos ect there cache take up space too dont they why didnt you clear them also
I didn't skip. I mentioned to focus on your apps as amazon has now restricted clearing those
When I delete my cash it just comes back again ?? help me C C thx 🙏
The MB comes back? Or are you talking about the KB that I mentioned not to worry about?
I went to dowoad the ES but it still came up with NOT ENOUG SPACE.
Delete unwanted apps and restart your firestick and you will have room
@@CuriosityCafe The apps doesn't say delete just clear data clear cash and force atop.
All your apps won't let you delete? Or just the built in ones? You must have added something or downloaded something to be full. Delete that and then restart. You will get not enough space message until you restart. You do that every day right? Not just turn tv off?
@@CuriosityCafe my friend said do a full reset like you do on smart phone. Will this help ?
Only if you don't know why or can't figure out what you downloaded. But I could help in less than 5 minutes. But that's up to you. We have the full factory reset remote code video or you can do it in settings. Do you know how? If not, watch our videos
I can't even download es explorer i dont even have much on my firestick help please
Did you clear your cache or delete apps you don’t want before the step of downloading another app?
@@CuriosityCafe yes I literally have hardly anything on mine
Must be something downloaded. You could always start over with the remote code factory reset. Watch our secret codes video. Easy to find by clicking our channel name
Mine is a Toshiba fire tv and now I can't get home screen anymore
Did you try unplugging from the wall for 60 seconds? Then connecting back to your WiFi?
