Samsung Galaxy S2 running out of space - FIX

As I don't have the stock dialer on my S2 the *#9900# code does  not work.

Instead, with root permission go to /data/log and delete delete all log files that you find inside the folder. This is the same command that the dialer does.

Reset thumbnail cache on Android Gallery

Go to the directory:
/data/data/com.androids.providers.media/databases/
and delete the file external.db. Don't touch internal.db.
To be safe you can just rename it so you can restore the file later.

Reboot and the thumbnails are all deleted. Android will recreate them after a little while, depending on how many images you have.

This worked for me on Galaxy S2 with custom ROM.
