how did you factory reset your phone? was it through PCC? 

settings > apps > all > menu > size what do you see as the biggest app?

That seems very high........how many 3rd party Apps do you have added to your phone

not many. as i cant download them because of no memory. it seems to be full of silly apps related to camera and all sony apps. the biggest running apps are ones like google chrome, google search. ones that are needed

Do you have instagram or any other media, music streaming app? if you do just clear it's cache/data and check again

Also keep in mind that if you use different camera app extensions, like timeshift, the pictures are NOT stored on

I am experiencing the same problem. I bought a Xperia Z2 one year ago for my son and one for me.

With both of them I have the sam problem.

10,8 GB used / of 11,57 GB total memory. ON BOTH PHONES!

9,7 GB of the used internal memory are applications. (I moved all apps that could be moved to SD card, and everything else.)

Exept of the initial apps I got with the phone, I have nothing except Viber and Whatsapp.

I have done the factory reset. No results (few MB less - therefore deinstalled Viber and all Viber messages, all SMS and many contacts deleted ... / after the factory reset there was no space to install again Viber app, which I had before the factory reset!).

All caches are cleaned on my phone (before cleaning I had over 11 GB used, now I have 10,8 GB used).

Today I can't even make a new update available for Sony Mobile Communiocations. 

Can anyone help?
