Files on sdcard take up double the space

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.

It's broken. Now donate the phone to me.

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.

LG G2 storage

My LG G2 is two weeks old. Its rooted with Clean ROM. I have maybe 5.5 GB of music, but my storage reads 15.73gb used. Does anyone have an explanation and/or same problem? Seems a bit excessive?

That's sounds high after reading. Check game data.

Found a break down: System 8.04gb
CleanRom 1.58gb
TWRP 5.93gb
10gb remaining on a 32gb SD?

Most likely a backup, if you backed up the stock Rom before flashing clean rom

I recommend you to use DiskUsage to find where all the space is going:

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?
