Try following the below steps as per smaw51 recommendations :
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
mounts and storage/ format /data
mounts and storage/ format /system
mounts and storage/ format /cache
advanced/ wipe dalvik cache
Repeat a couple times for good measure
I have already tried those steps as I found them online and it does nothing, I always have to delete everything and then return to stock ... I just don't get it >

Oops accidentally thanked you for this post.
Anyways, I have found that wiping data from recovery doesn't clear download files and such. Download Astro File manager and see what is taking up most of your internal memory. I found personally that .zip files and a few things like that were taking up oodles of storage space. Also, when yuo do a CWM backup, do the backup to the External SD card, that way it doesn't take up app space.

like 7gb? and external is 4gb because i have a partition, but the partition in my case is irrelevant because before when I didn't know about link2sd I still had this problem, but everyone else seems to flash roms daily with no issues lol?

I believe reading this thread and taking a few tips has fixed everything!

I strongly suggest you flash a stock rom using Odin and clear everything. If you still have problems with the stock rom on your tablet return it for warranty repair. My feeling is though it is something you are doing. So once back to stock (out of the box) reinstall apps one at a time - avoid apps to sd and installing them on external memory. I don't believe that can be necessary!

Op is asking how to remove partition.. not how to wipe/format partition.. so your answer is wrong for this question. So the correction..
You would remove it if you don't want to use the second or third(swap) partition anymore.
@ op.. use any partition managers like minitool, easus etc to remove it or as stated above windows disk management will do.. you would have to delete both partitions in sdcard and create a new partition of fat32.. search in Google.. you will find good guides..
But make a backup of sdcard first before doing it..

if you use some kind of partition manager, you can remove the partition without losing data, but always backup

err.. no.
Formatting only resets data on that partition. I mean it only clears data from that partition.. it won't delete the partition. Say you have 2 partition.
If you format in phone. It will format first partition. Second partition data will be intact. And it won't be deleted either.

just use any partitioning tool to remove both partitions, then make a fat32 partition of the whole sdcard.

you should be able to use minitool to remvove any sd card partition
copy anything you want to save onto pc
open mini tool
delete all partitions on sd card
create a new partition of fat32

you could if you wanted just merge the partitions or delete the unwanted partition then extend the other partition into unused space but the above method is quick and simple

I have partition on sd card:confused and use it as internal storage for galaxy y. Will formatting and removing the partition corrupt the OS?
Hi guys.
I got a new 8gig Mem Card (HC) and partitoned it and other stuff. WP7 is working but when I install ROM to EXT4 (NativeSD) it doesnt boot or if it does boot it will show me a lot of fc's and not go anywhere. What do I do ?
I have 2.14 radio. I have partitioned using MTPW and am trying to dual-boot. I have also tried formatting ext1 with 4ext.

@muftiazan i think your partitions are wrongly set up.
make sure they are set to primary, with them aligned well on the sdcard (fat32 not fat, ext4 and wp7 partition)
@gilbert32
I have aligned my partition through MTPW. Does this make a difference ? 1st Partition is FAT32, 2nd is EXT4 (587mb), 3rd is Other (WP7).

EDIT: not very sure about this, but maybe 587mb is not enough for the rom you're installing? try nexushd2 gingerbread, it should work. if it does, then this may be your problem.
also, what nativeSD roms were you trying?
@gilbert32
I was trying PA 2.57 CM10, evervolv's CMTight (4.1.1) and CM9ight (ICS), MIUI-MIX 3.2.22 and miui_passion_2.2.28. My EXT4 had free space in all ROM's except MIUI-MIX. What do I do. I really need Android but on the other side I also need WP7.8. Please help.
ok, sorry i couldn't reply earlier.
can you please explain who the rom doesn't boot? what do you see exactly? and can you post logcat?

please try this rom, i suspect lack of space. this ^ one should fit.
else, i also suspect a badly formatted partition. you should try formatting with a recovery (TWRP-EX for hd2), and inside it (<------- this Recovery) after formatting, open nativeSD manager and fix permissions for the rom you just flashed. then try booting.
@gilbert32
When I format using TWRP and then Install ROM and the fix permissions using nativeSD manager it just gets stuck on bootanim again. there is no lack of space. I checked it.
EDIT: I re-installed CMTight, this time setup wizard ran fine but the it started to give fc's again.

I just bought another sd-card strontium 8gb class4 and then I followed all steps but nothing, just the same . Help me please.
@gilbert32
New Issue..
Every time I install a new rom it gets stuck at some point in the install so i have to remove the battery and format ext and then install again but second time it works but gives fc as usual (process.acore,process.gapps and alot more.)
Edit: 4EXT recovery doesnt show partition info and cannot mount e:\sdcard
if ext4 doesn't show partition info, the try another recovery (twrp-ex for hd2, bootable via sd method). format with it and install rom from it. if you still experience problems, i suggest you clean the sd port and the sd pins, for maybe you have a problem like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2319835
How do I do that? btw SDCARD has no errors. How do I clean the sdcard slots contacts ?

Format external sd card, but why would you? You can just wipe what you dont`t need.
Usualy its enough to data factory reset, wipe both caches and format system before flashing a new rom. You don`t have t wipe the internal and external sd cards.

Marshmallow had a new cool feature of adopted storage but all the flashoholics had trouble in changing roms because they have to format sd card every time they change roms .
I have a solution.
1:- while flashing rom wipe system dalvik cache and cache but dont wipe data .
2:- flash the rom and let it optimize apps .
3:- after optimizations most probably you will be in bootloop , simply boot into recovery and wipe data and reboot.
4:- your phone will optimize apps again and this time it will boot up and you can access sd card as adopted storage without need to format it again as internal.
This trick worked for me and should work for you guys too.
There's another method that is :-
1:- navigate to root folder
2:- copy all the files from data/misc/vold to somewhere in SD card
3:now boot to recovery wipe everything except SD card and flash new ROM .
4:- now using twrp's file manager move the files you from step 2 to the same folder I.e. data/misc/vold
5:-reboot
According to twrp dev, you can use this trick ' Note, if you factory reset and leave the key present in /data/misc/vold, then Android will still detect and use the adopted storage on the next boot.'

Sorry for bringing up this old thread again, but I've an issue where I had to hard reset in order to get root on my Moto X Pure. I didn't think about whether or not I should make any backups of my sd or nand.
I thought I could just continue using the sd as adopted storage on my new ROM.
Anyways, when doing this trick do I leave the sd card inside?

Just copy it to your SD card using file manager. Then when you flash ROM, go into twrp file manager and copy-paste it back to vold folder.
However, if you are on a nougat ROM then you don't need this entire trick at all! Just flash ROM without this trick. The .key will take care of itself automatically without any problem.
