Suddenly only 10 MB of internal storage?

Hey guys, I was hoping someone might know what's going on. My phone started acting really slow today then gave me a low on memory message all of a sudden. I checked and i only had 10 megs free internal memory for some reason. I've always had 100+ at least. I checked all over, including by using the file find feature and had no big files/pictures. Deleted my texts and emails. That all gave me a few more megs, but didn't go back to normal. I even tried using a backup file from a couple of days ago and it's still like that, so either this has been happening for a while and i didn't notice or backup restore doesn't fix it. Anyone got an idea as to what's going on?

This is a sprint touch pro 2 running energy rom.

Have you tried clearing temp files, cache, history, and cookies lately? Download and run ClearTemp for this.
If you can use a tool like MemMaid or SKTools it will show you exactly how your memory is used.

I'm trying to figure out the very same senario. Do you synchronize your work calendar? I ended up hard resetting. I always backup my contacts using Myphone.

the HTCALBUM cache is known to be a major memory hog open file explorer and follow this string Application Data-HTC-HTCALBUM-cache then delete those 2 big ass files.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. What I ended up doing was hard resetting, then restoring from SPB backup and i got all of the memory back. I don't know what was screwed up, but if you ever have this problem try doing that. I think it was probably a file system or physical storage problem.
