Calm down, accept the fact that there's no way to get stuff back now. And jeez, spellcheck, every browser has that integrated now.

WROOOONG, still recoverable.
Lots of programs(like get data back, advanced file recovery... etc) can recover the data. Do NOT write any data on extSdcard and scan at computer with revovery programs. If sdcard had fat32 file system most easly recoverable, ntfs is harder than fat32. If had exfat file system i dunno
Again Do NOT reformat or write any data to extSdcard(microsd i assume) and scan with programs.

i want to pretty much start from the beggining again but i want to stay rooted.
Try to empty your trash can.
trash can?
thanks that was it i had like 6gb in my trash lol
Same thing happened to me. Thats why I knew.
Deleting the sd card won't affect your root status.

If you hook it up to your computer and format it that will wipe it clean too.

Is the only way to wipe the sd card is to use CWM? Is there any other way? Also, will this have any negative effects to the device? Does the system require specific folders to work/run?
First you need to make a backup of your rom using CWR, or i prefer 4ext ( mainly cause i can enable usb mass storage while in recovery once plugged into pc)....
2nd ..You should copy all contents from ur storage by connecting ur phone to pc
3rd. place existing folders from sdcard storage to a backup folder a.k.a Nexus 7 backup folder. This will also include your backup under clockworkmod/backup/xxxx_xx_backup.
4th...format sdcard in recovery(4ext) allows for multiple partitioning options..
5th..once formatted...download any ro and boot up..once booted up compare all folders in sdcard to those of backup on pc u created earlier and copy folders to new formatted sdcard..
6th.. note you created the backup earlier which is housed in the clockworkmod/backup folder on pc. Make sure u copy that folder onto sdcard along with i.e dcim, movies, pictures, gameloft..etc...etc..basically all files from ur pc folder that contains all the sdcard contents explained in step 3.
Hope this helps

I am not on any custom Rom at the moment. I'm currently running stock and stock kernal.
All I wanted to do was start fresh since my storage has become some what messy and unorganized. I already made a back up using cwm. I just wanted to wipe the sd card in the device. I already have my important files backed up including ePub, mp3, apk files etc
I'm just concerned that if I wipe the sd, the nexus 7 won't run the way it should.

Take a look with what I am dealing with in the screen shot. It says the system has 13 GB in the system but only 3 GB left. If you add up all the apps you can easily see there is no way I used 10 GB of storage. It just doesn't add up. Can't really figure out what's going on.

I think you have the "Dead Space" that android commonly sees.
Like you already asked you need to reformat your tab etc, that is THE ONLY way to return the dead space back into usable.
Maybe: backup and restore->factory reset, is the option you are looking for?

If I do the factory reset, I have a few questions.
One, will it cause me to lose root?
Second, will it also wipe the storage card? ( I would assume so)
Third, I never heard of this dead space issue. Why does this happen?
Don't know about root. But that should be easy enough to get back. I was ballsy enough to press the option thought it would prompt me before wiping and it did .
See screenshot.

Thanks for that. I am currently trying to back everything up at the moment. I'm nervous but I'm going to give it a shot. Let you know how it goes.
I was thinking, maybe if I went in to staples and showed them that the storage card was showing me incorrect info, maybe they would swap it ouf for me for one of the newer 32 gb ones. I'd even pay the $50 difference if the 16gb drops down to $200
Might be worth a shot lol

Okay, so I reset the tablet and nothing really has changed. It didn't format the storage because pretty much everything I had it in there before is still there except for music and videos etc. i still have root access. I still only have 3 gb available so something is definietely wrong. I'm just not really sure what to do. The system even rebooted in tablet mode which I had it set to before. What does anyone think the next step should be?

If you've formatted your system you're not a noob so you've probably already done this too, but run ES File Explorer > Manager > SD Card Analyst.
Do you use CWM to backup you roms?

I grew the balls to just format the SD card using CWM. I was pretty nervous but it did reboot and it wiped everything.
I now have 13.0 gb free out of 13.2. Pretty pleased. Finally!.
I was also able to keep root as well.
Nice. Thanks for finding this out for the community!

No problem. I was really nervous. In all honesty though there has to be another way. I mean I have root access obviously. Lets say you get some regular user who doesn't know much and they just want to wipe their device clean. What exactly are you supposed to do? why isn't a factory reset wiping out the storage card? It is very strange.

Because the SD card is where you store pictures, music and other stuff, a factory reset wiping that would be a long process(copying it off then back on) and most of the time not required
and the space not showing up in storage settings menu, it only shows stuff in the default android locations, just a fyi

I want to wipe my nexus 4 so that's its fresh and has nothing on it how it was when i got it. When I do a factory reset and wipe all it still keeps some files i put on there.
What am I missing?
Do you mean SD files? A factory reset won't touch those. You should format SD in recovery.

Correct. You'll lose all SD data (pictures, music, Nandroid's, ROM .zips, etc.) but keep your apps and such.
Okay perfect - so if the apps stay im guessing i can just use rom manager to get my rom again etc, does my flashed recovery stay?. Its just wiping physical data ive put on there.

My nexus 7 is a 8gb WiFi version.
As I found the /0/0/0... thing in sdcard so annoying.
I copy all things in the last /0 folder and paste them into /sdcard
And finally delete all the remaining /0 stuff
After that,I notice the storage shown is increased to13.xx Gb
I check it on the settings/storage and in root explorer even in computer and they show the same
What happened?

You were doing factory resets with a custom recovery that did not grok 4.2's multiuser capability. Period.

This is just my opinion, but maybe you shouldn't be replying to op if you didn't read his post. He wasn't asking about the 0/0/0/0 issue, he was merely stating that the size of his available storage grew past the default size.
As for a response to the OP... I have no clue why it'd do that.

This is the first thing I'd do, copy loads of stuff onto it, to see what is going down, maybe 8GB N7s are actually 16GB with hidden memory
And do post results!
and 16GB versions 32GB,32GB version 64GB?hahaha nice troll

The only way to test if it really has that storage is to full up the device with that amount.

I can no longer install any of the custom roms on my AT&T S4. This is both on OUDHS 1.034 & 1.035 and TWRP 2.5.0.2 The files all fail. OUDHS says the files are bad. This only began today. Anyone have any ideas of what I might try. I have a 64 GB external SD card in the phone.
If it were me, I would start over period, quit wasting time, odin back to stock and root, and so on. You could be done in 30min or so, or wait and try things that are probably not going to work.
I forgot to mention I have Odin'd back 3 times restarted root & etc. I thought my SD card might've corrupted but all my pic files & videos are all fine.

Sorry missed your reply. It is in the sdformatter instructions. Haven't used it for awhile. But, believe you want Full Erase On and Size Adjustment ON. It will do fat32. No quick format. May take awhile--
