Files on sdcard take up double the space - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Files appear to take up twice the amount of space they ought to be. I have 13 GB free space, it shows less than half used, yet only 4.4 GB left?

You got any backups?

The storage utility on the N7 only reads data correctly from the default directories. I'll bet you created some new directory/directories on the root of your storage and have files in there, right?

Running out of storage space, but only have 8 gigs of data....

For some reason, it says I'm low on storage space, and that some system functions won't work, but on my storage screen, half of it is empty. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Do you have lots of nandroid backups? Those will fill up the memory fast.

Storage is full

I have cm10.1 on my nexus 4. I suddenly got a message telling me my storage is full. I am really confused because android tells me it is full but I got a storage analyzer app that tells me I only used 6gb(this is about what I think I used). Can someone please help me.
I couldn't get the screenshots to upload here so that is why I have the links below.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have any Nandroid backups on your phone? They don't show up in that storage tab in settings. They are also pretty big files.

[Q] low storage space?

This just doesn't add up I just deleted nearly 8 gigs of game data and backups.
Have you rebooted?

Depending on what ROM you're running there may be an option to switch storage either from within the ROM or by flashing a script. Try searching for "switch storage"

Says my SD card is full . I do have a 16 gig from an older fone. Is it difficult swapping out SD cards ?

Music using up twice storage space?

Is music counted twice in the settings that evaluate the storage space. Under audio It takes up 721 my of data but under misc there is also a folder called music. Is it using twice the storage?
