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.

[Q] low storage space?

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

No responses ? Either its impossible or I am missing the obvious

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 ?

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:
