    It looks like the space is occupied by apps. Just uninstall the ones you don't use.

    To see what uses the space go to Settings -> Storage. To see what apps use the most space go to Settings -> Apps and sort by size.

    Having done that then progressively open each app from the app management utility in Settings (not the desktop), and then use the "transfer to SD card" button to transfer as much as possible of each app and the associated data to the SD card.


    That works pretty well on my Xperia Z - and I now have quite a lot on the SD card!


    Also remember to clear out the junk in the main memory regularly - I use Cleanmaster (free version) , but there are many other options.
