Hi singh.bhupinder. As far as i am aware the sms's etc are stored in a db on the rootfs. The rootfs is a separate 256mb chip. (Not included in your 32gb storage)
there is quite a lot you can do - but i recommend reading through the wiki page dedicated to problems like this.
If you have rootsh (Root access) installed you will be in a better position, some simple things will help, such as(in x-terminal, run these commands)
(enter after each line)
and
If you have extras-devel or testing enabled, disable them immediatley that will free up some room to help you out in the hort term, straight away.

Code:

had the same thing. tried everything in the wiki, had AMPLE space in rootfs,and the the only thing from extras devs was fapn and fmms. no matter what i didnt, that stupid notification wouldnt go away. just flashing the firmware didnt help. i flashed the emmc, and then the firmware and then everything was cool. u should start from scratch

What is it the "apt cache" and what does it contain (something necessary or not)?

i think i read in a thread somewhere that even though u clear up space its something to do with the notification.. maybe a search could turn up a way to reset that notificatiion? especially if its showing u have enough space.
on a totally unrelated note, loving the health checker app Noob! maybe i can interest you in a clock widget idea had?

Won't really know until you check how much rootfs space you have
(In terminal run df -h (You do not need to be root))
If you have very little space then it is a rootfs problem. if you do not then you need to do a spring clean, search the forums and see what else can be found, as you are not the only person with these problems i feel.

ahhhh sounds like rootfs issue to me.
use the commands / tools i posted earlier and then try the df -h command again, after a reboot.
(Eg, disable repos, run clean, autoremove...)
List what apps from what repos you have installed too
- always useful to detect possible file hogs.
(If you have python installed - pyoptify on the wiki page is a good one too)
Note that you will never get it below 60/70%
