S10+ 128g. Tried everything suggested, moved all apps that can be moved to SD to SD, cleared app storage data, moved all files to SD. It's System and Other that's the problem. Gave up and doing factory reset except Google will back up but samsung won't because 'not enough internal storage'. Catch 22. Ok, rather than cloud, tried to samsung back up to ample space on sd, sorry not enough internal storage space. Can't be sure if Google cloud backup includes all settings, etc. 100% of images are on sd yet everything open Gallary, Not Enough Storage Space.

I had to add 512MB internal micro SD slot next to Sim card slot. In order for S10 to be able to manage all your apps properly, you must format the 512sd as encrypted. Then it will become One Volume i.e. 128+512

I saved everything to SD and then factory reset my phone... It gave me back all my storage sorry to hear your having issues.

I have a 128g micro SD installed with just 50gigs on it. The reason it won't perform a Samsung back up is because it specifically says I need to clear 3 gigs of internal storage, not sd storage. If I can't fully back it up I can't even restore this S10+ data to a new phone.

Then save what you consider important and delete everything else. Factory reset and see what happens. This would be my only advice other then that get a new phone.

Thanks, I think you are right, try the reset, see if it eliminates enough of the System and Other, if not new phone. This 10+ is my 3rd and will miss Dex but won't get another Galaxy.

The (i) shows 108g of apps. When I calculate the total space occupied by apps I installed, it's about 10g. That means non-revovable Samgung and Google apps are taking up 100g??? Let's guess theres total 30 various Samsung and Google apps meaning each app averages 3.3g??? Impossible.
