So..I couldn't install an update today as it said I hadn't enough space. I have 16gb on my M8 .All my music is on my SD card, and apps and photos only amount to about 6gb. Apparently 'other' folder has about 8gb in it! What on earth is in there? tongue x

Cache files..... If after clearing that, you still have no space available a factory reset would fix any issues you were having. I tend to updates on my PC.
