Have you used ClockworkMod ROM Manager to make nandroid backups?
If so it's saving the backups in a hidden folder on the internal storage. It eats up a lot of storage space quickly.
Try moving those nandroid backups to an external SD card and you should have the space you need.

I don't care what you want to do with it in the future. I'm telling you that this is what could have caused the problem you have now.

If no...stop reading. That isnt the problem.
If yes...the backups are taking up your storage space. Period. It doesn't matter if you are on touchwiz. In fact that makes it worse because touchwiz backups are 4 times the size of aosp backups. And you wont see the files listed in a file manager. They are hidden.
I am trying to help you here but you aren't giving enough information so I have to guess.

According to SD card Analyst I have
Clockworkmod: 1.99GB
TWRP: 1.12GB
TBU: 383MB
As you can imagine, that is a BIG chunk out of my 6GB total!
I have flashed lots of ROMs in the last couple of weeks but I have now settled on one. AFAIK all I need to keep is the current bakup in TWRP in case anything happens.
I would be glad for some advice as to what I can safely delete. I don't want to make a mistake as my system is running brilliantly right now.
Many thanks for any help!

As you already said, you should keep the TWRP backup as a safety net... The dated folders in the Clockworkmod can be deleted if you don't need to use them any more. Just leave the main folder but delete the sub folders.
TBU backups are just your apps + data... if you don't need data restored (since you probably have them in your TWRP backup) you can delete the contents there as well.

I agree with cvcduty, but I just wondered if there was a reason you use both TWRP and Clockworkmod, especially on an 8GB N7 with limited space. I've always just used CWM, so I was curious

Well, to be honest the answer is a bit silly: I am not aware of having used CWM, I didn't even know I had it!
Can I uninstall it altogether? And if so, how?
In CWM, there is a folder called Blobs with 1.78GB worth of folders. Is it safe to delete it?
If you don't use cwm then yes you can delete it.
I removed mine aswell as I have a nandroid backup on my PC which I can adb push if worst comes

The clockworkmod APK
and
The clockworkmod RECOVERY
both use that same folder. Every time you flash a cyanogen Rom it had the apk installed by default. So that's where it's coming from.
In the folder back up the Nandroid folder or the one with data system recovery files (140-250mb) to your computer and then delete the whole dang folder if you do not use clockwork recovery.
As for titanium you can use the cloud storage feature and save another 500mb

Hello all!
I was using Stock ROM with Savie's Kernel for a time on my Galaxy Y with Amarullz Data2SD, but I was bored with stock, made a backup of ext partition and flashed a custom rom, USSRv6. Everything was fine, but I wanted all my apps again, so Iformatted the ext partition and put the contents from app and data folder from old ROM there and rebooted. Now almost every app force closes, and is take so much time to boot . When I try to do fix_permissions command, I get a 64 UID error, already searched about it, but I didn't found anything.
Can anyone help me? Thanks

Reflash your rom and data2sd....
How you created backup of apps????
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
its better to use titanium backup and a fresh setup of a2sd. given the complexity and change of ROMS, mistake can happen anywhere....
Thank you all for replying!
I just copied all the contents from data and app folder from EXT partiotion from SD, then when I flashed new ROM, I just flashed Data2SD, pasted the contents gaint at EXT partition.

Hi all!
i'm not very experienced at this so if i say something stupid please correct me.
i tried setting up PACMAN rom on my S4 yesterday, and i noticed while in TWRP it showed that the S4 still has 9GB free, even after wiping and formatting the internal SD.
I did not install the ROM yet.
I take it the missing GB's are used in a system partion? which is only available when installing ROMs? Does PACMAN take up that much space or is there now space on the system partition that's not being used?
again, if this is not how it works, let me know.

PAC rom takes up very little space only. Tried it ytd. However, the missing spaces that is used for system purpose, cannot be used for apps or storage. (Not that I know of)

hi,
i have a storage issue that i'll like to ask the gurus.. I've just moved from PSX's v8.5 (4.3) to PSX v3 (4.4) and along the way, I've made numerous backups just in case. after flashing v3 and hellscore b43, i ran into a storage space issue where my N4 told me i had insufficient space to install more apps, to work system functions, anything. Ive attached a screenshot of my storage, but it seems to be there is a good 5-6gb of space unaccounted for? i have v little songs in my phone, no movies, little apps as well. its rooted. can anyone point to as to how i can solve this?
thanks!
to add on, I've used storage analyser to better understand by storage, and it says i have 9.87gb available, whilte the stock storage details shows the number at 611mb.
help pls?

Have you downgraded to the rom where you don't have this problem?
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
I only just realised I was having the same issue when I got an insufficient storage available message while trying to update some apps. To solve it reboot into recovery then go on backup and restore and delete any unnecessary backups you have, if the ROM's working now then you could do with deleting all of the old backups and making one fresh one with the new ROM. Also do the 'free unused space' thing in CWM, I had no backups but somehow there was almost 3 gigs of space being wasted by CWM. There's probably something similar in TWRP if you use that

You've got the right app. check your /data directory to see what's chewing up space. I bet it's TWRP or other stuff stored by your recovery manager.
Use this great app to check whats taking up space: Storage analyzer
When u make full backups they won't show up in the system storage scan. Go to the file directly n try deleting an old backup. I guarantee u will see more space available after u do. Each backup is usually about 400-500mb depending on how many apps n other data u have

Or maybe you got shrinkage problem which is pretty normal when upgrading (seeing that you flashed 4.4.2 rom over 4.3 rom). Your 16gb nexus was shrinked to 8gb. The easiest way to fix it is by formatting your internal in recovery (or flash stock recovery and do factory reset). Do make backup of your things though cause you'll lose them.
Hello
I've just made a nandroid backup from cwm recovery to my external sd card. I have the 32gb variant and the 16gb is used but my nandroid backup made by cwm is 3.8gb.. I've searched in the cwm menu for more options to backup my phone but i didnt see any. e.g. full backup etc. It only has backup and advanced restore? I think that the size of the backup would be 16gb.. Have I done something wrong?

Thank you for your advice. I will try Philz as soon as I can.

I've added some s5 features - icons etc and nova launcher with icon packs - played with dpi etc and it' very beautiful! Thank you even if it doesn't work. You've got +1 Thanks from me
If i understand you right, you want to make a backup of your sd card ? You can't do that with a recovery backup. And you don't need to. The rom isn't on the sd card. The 3.8 gb is just right, it made a backup of your rom, that's all you need. You can backup your card to your computer, if you want.

If you are still unsure, the backup did backup everything (apps, settings, app settings...). It didn't backup your personal files (pictures, music, videos,...). That's not the purpose of recovery backups.
It makes an "image" of your current rom, your personal files it's best to backup them to your computer.
