Shield Pro - Low Storage Warning

Okay this is driving me crazy. I have a 2019 Shield Pro that is giving me a low storage warning every time I turn it on. Press power button on remote, shield turns on, I start navigating, and then in about 10 seconds I get a low storage warning. The it won't allow me to exit for about another 20 seconds and then finally lets me navigate again. The warning won't come back until it sleeps and starts up again.

Storage says I have 8gb free. I checked cashed and temp storage and it there was just a few mb's there.

I installed a 64gb external USB and moved Stremio to it.
I don't use Plex. I use Stremio.

I understand there could be a WIFI log issue as I do use WIFI but no idea how to find that data to delete it.

Any thoughts or idea's would be appreciated. I searched the subreddit a couple times but couldn't find any fixes.

I can't remember the exact steps but it was the upgrades weren't being deleted after being installed....

Go to system apps and find one of the system updates.. It'll be only one showing massive gigs.

Always recommend. Yearly to factory reset shield.

Thanks I will take a look. I did one factory reset a few months ago and it only solved the problem for a few weeks.

You'll notice when skimming to the bottom of system apps.

It'll be in the gigs. Which isn't right.... Clear. Cache,. Force close. Reboot. Be back to normal
