The OS is on that 8gb too taking up space. That's why you're only left with 6.

This, and the fact you don't get exactly 8gb. It's like when you buy a 1TB hard drive and when you are done partitioning and formatting it, you get like 928gb or whatever... (I didn't do the math, but you get it)
But this is a 16gb model......

You must have just recently tried going back to stock..
Grab the stock image and
fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jzo54k.zip and it will repartition and format everything correctly.
or boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset. it wipes sdcard back to normal.

If you want actual help, give actual info... Unless you want people to just sit here and guess?
Have you downloaded movies from google? Using Google Music?

Unless they sold you an 8GB and said it was 16GB.
How about provide a screenshot of your storage info.
Ok, call me Douchebag, cause I haven't seen the screenshot in the first post.
I think you got 8GB model
i guess ill have to get a replacement becuase i have factory rested in just about every way you can and i know FOR SURE I HAD A 16GB DEVICE, so any idea on where to get a replacement?
The place you got it from.
got it off ebay.....

I've had that problem this morning, just flashed the zip of GlazedJB, I think, but any ROM.zip should do the work, as it flashes system partiton. Have you tried that?
Yeah I was on the ubuntu build then went back to pa then it had the issue so I flashed the stock factory image then it still had it but maybe I still have 13gb It just doesn't tell me?
Sent from my stock LG Spectrum Using LTE 4G on Verizon
I got it while returning to stock, then it didn't want to boot so I installed AOSP and when booted I saw there was only 6gb. Must have been bad download of factory image...
Try not to flash stock-based roms, use any cm or aokp. It won't hurt, the worst thing that can happen is to stay at 6gb.
And, as it's hardware problem, can you claim warranty for a replacement?
The Same works only for img jzo54k ...

if you put that to img jop40d it will screw the Nexus 7 and all has to be done again.

Still shows 32gb on CM10.
Are you sure it showed 32GB prior to the custom rom?
I don't remember for sure... Box says 32gb...
I did setup a second profile before i installed cm10... Could that have caused the split in storage?
Is there a way yo fully reformat the internal memory?

for those who run into this problem (few if any) i had to do a full format from recovery, then restore to factory image to resolve this issue.
good luck to anyone else who has this... I am thinking it was because of my 2 profiles that I had setup before I started using custom Roms.
Since I rooted my phone and installed some custom ROMS. I've noticed that I've only been able to access about 4gigs of my internal memory on my 16gb Nexus 4. I deleted all the files from my phone to see if a phantom file was holding my space hostage. But nothing I've found works. I'm still checking around to see if there's anything I can do without destroying my phone. I'm currently running Paranoid droid 2.99 Jan 03.

Thanks El Daddy your guide worked perfectly. I'm back to normal and will proceed from here. Anybody else with a internal memory issue please follow El Daddy's link to correct your issue. All you need to know is basically having an understanding of fastboot.
I have a 16gb nexus 4. I rooted my phone a few weeks ago and decided to DL flash cm 10.1 to my phone yesterday. But, it got stuck in a boot loop and I restored to the android backup I had.
The problem is, now my storage says only 435 mb free, but I had around 6gb free before. I have no idea what caused this or how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh I misunderstood you, it is showing that you have 16gb its just that a lot of it is missing.
I would try deleting unneeded nandroids, especially if they are CWM as they don't get saved somewhere you can use a simple file manager to get to I don't think.
Also try clearing cache and davlik cache, if this doesn't work, I think you'll have to back up apps and factory reset through recovery.
Sent from my CM10.1 Nexus 4
But the nandroids are only 7.38 mbs. I don't think they are the cause of the problem. I was researching the problem online and I think it might be the lost.dir folder, but I can't find it.

Thank you so much.
I found it, deleted it, and got my space back.
But that leads me to another question. If I don't have a backup on my phone, how will I restore? Because yesterday, I was in a boot loop, and the ADB connection wouldn't work. The only reason I could restore was because I had the nandroid back up on my phone already.

If you were in a bootloop, get into recovery and choose sideload. Then you can push a rom file and flash it. Or you could just not remove the recovery. TWRP nandroid take less space.
I see. I just used CWM because I read that they were better. I'm still new at all of this. Thank you. You've been very helpful.

Well, if what you say is true and you are correctly flashing the factory images with fastboot ( including the radio )

Download a nexus 4 ROM and flash that.
Next time do not ever ever flash a rom that is not meant for the device. Is your phone a S4? No. Is it a HTC One? No. Stick with ROMs and kernels meant for your device and you'll be good.

Tough luck mate
I'm no expert, but obviously you've overwritten your modem/radio partition, maybe even corrupted. I don't know if you could zero that partition (with dd codes) and then flash one of our radios... Not sure if that would work...

Install 4.1 via nexus toolkit. Then 4.2. This should install the nexus radio as well.

Total space 6gb, tells me the partition size is wrong. What would cause that, I dunno. I'd have to guess you played with more than just updating to 4.3. Anymore more to tell us?
Mine did this. I ended up formatting everything and flashing a new ROM.

Well, I'm sure op knows if it's an 8 or 16gb tablet lol. Mine is a 32gb tablet, and had been for over a year. When I upgraded to 4.4.4, mine did the same thing, it showed 6gb free, usable space. I formatted & reflashed everything but it didn't help.
What did help was locking & unlocking the bootloader. I also updated the bootloader but that wasn't necessary. For some reason, re-locking & then unlocking the bootloader reset the available computed space. I'd recommend anyone facing a similar problem on a nexus 7 after an update try the same thing, because for some unknown reason, the device defaults to thinking & reporting it's an 8gb tablet when it's really not.
