Per quick system information I have
Internal Storage Total 432MB Free 222 MB
System Storage 391MB Free 59.91
I know that if I delete some of my Apps I will recover some of my internal storage but how does one go about recovering some of the System storage? Is it possible? or o we have to have root to do it?

I believe we're going to have to wait for Permanent root to really clear up some memory, plus once we get some slim roms going you'll be able to free up even more system memory.
System storage is the partition for the ROM, right?

I am having a serious issue where System Storage is showing less space available than there is
On ES Explorer it shows:
I have a 64GB memory card in the phone and it has 18GB free
Internally of the 32GB I have 11GB free.
However, when I go to the Storage option it shows that I only have 1.25GB free on my internal card. This number goes to 200mb when Google Drive is installed:
Applicatiuons-2.71gb
Picutres,videos 424mb
Why is there such a massive discrepancy? Anyone have any idea how I can fix this? When I open Miscellaneous files it says System Memory 28GB then Whatsapp 749MB and Canon CW 650MB. Ok lets say I delete that but where is the other 28GB? See Misc files below. It has to be reading incorrectly in someway since my file apps show a lot more data free.
Google Drive shows 832mb used - in the app it says max cache size 50mb. All I can think is that I uploaded a 800mb video file to my drive from my phone and now its downloading this. I deleted the cache but when I start the drive back up it goes back to 800mb
What is the typical free space that I should find available in my Note 3 (32gb)? Is 25gb only normal?
It's rooted and running safestrap but otherwise is stock.
ES file explorer SD card analyst says that I have 25gb stock space available and that I'm using 8 gb for a remainder of 17gb. Is this typical? That seems like a large amount to reserve for what I assume is the system. Using the 'Drives' app I show that system is using only 2.1gb with 555 mb free. It also shows that my internal storage has two large "files" that are maybe backup partitions called "win001" and "win000".
I am getting this message and it takes me to my storage via Settings. The main culprits appear to be Apps (consuming 3.57 GB) and Miscellaneous ( consuming 9.16 GB). Have not encountered this before so wondering what is recommended to do next to resolve this (besides just deleting apps). I have a SD card a LOT of unused space (about 60 GB).
The user usable storage space of the internal memory is 9 GB on the S4 16 GB version.
So I assume you have a 32 GB version?
Otherwise what you're saying - about miscellaneous using 9 GB and data 3 GB - doesn't make sense.
My idea would be to wipe the internal storage.
The device memory shows 16 GB. I installed a card which is what I was referring to with the additional storage. How do you wipe the internal storage and won't that negatively impact other things?

How you wipe it depends on the recovery you're using.
Some apps store data on the internal memory, so that will get wiped, and everything on the internal memory with it.
ROM and user installed apps are stored on a different partition, so they should be safe.
So based on what you said, I'm not feeling comfortable the wiping the internal memory is such a good idea. Is there a more strategic, selective way to go about this rather than a broad-brush wipe and risk losing stuff or functions?

I just offered you an easy way.
The alternative is to go through each folder, see what it contains and delete unnecessary stuff.
You could always try SDMaid available on the play store
Edit....you *are* rooted right?

I have a Galaxy Tab A (SM-P580) with 16GB of storage. Device Maintenance > Storage says I'm using 14.8GB of storage, but if I add up the User Data categories (documents, apps, etc.), it's less than 4GB. How do I determine what's using all the unaccounted for storage? I wiped the cache partition, thinking the used storage might change a little, but it didn't. I'm on Android 8.1. Does Oreo duplicate the system partition to do seamless updates as I've read other devices do?
