Confused Internal Memory

[Xperiawesome]

Hello, my computer and phone said I only had 935mb left, so I tried to move my files from the phone to the computer.

I moved 3 files which is about worth 2.7gb from my phone into the computer.

When I checked, it still said I had 935mb left.

Then I moved alot of music files worth 441mb from my phone to the computer.

It still said I had 935mb left.

I download some files in the phone.

When I checked it said I had 868mb left.

I tested this to see if it was only my eyes.

I moved a folder from the phone into the computer.

It still said I had 868mb left.

I moved the folder back into the phone, it said I had 761mb left.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

How do I fix it?

Please help!

most likely you are moving files that are on your SD card not the internal storage.

The files are from /sdcard but I don't have an external SD card.

EDIT: Nevermind, I've figured it out.

To anyone elese having the problem: It's because of a "recycle bin" app.

care to elaborate?

Well, I have this app called "Dumpster" which is basiclly a recycle bin.

When files are deleted, they are moved into the "dumpster".

When I moved(cut) my files, the app thought they were deleted since they were removed from the system.

I just emptied the Dumpster, and now I have at least 3gb left.

(sorry for the late reply, there was an error that prevented this from being sent before)

I have one more question.

The specs of the acro s say that it has 16gb of internal memory

But I can only access 11gb

What is the 5gb used for?
