My galaxy s5 started showing memory full when all storage programs said there was about 5 gb left.
I downloaded foldermount and it said it found the issue so it was going to repair it.
Well after I rebooted. The internal sd card(phone memory) is not mounting.
When connected to the PC, it shows 128mb.
on ES FIle explorer SDCARD shows "???" and when I attempt to open it ask what file I want to open it with, but with the program storage analyzer it finds the "data" folder just fine and lists all the files and folders within it.
In the phone settings options, it can show the amount of memory being used along with the media, mp3, apps, so the Folder is still there along with all the info, it is simply not mounting properly?
Thank you.
UPDATE: I found the path of where all my files are at, but the phone is not mounting it as the internal storage?
It is located at data/media/0

It is located at data/media/0 and mnt/sdcard0 or mnt/sdcard1 are missing.
* Aside from Phone being rooted, there were no other modifications
* Phone is running on original OS(as opposed to roms or such)
*There is not an external sd card in the phone

yesterday i had a severe problem with the standard media applications (video/musicplayer and gallery).
none of them would show me any of my media files when started.
the video player said "no sd card inserted", the musicplayer crashed with "music database to large" right after i started it and the gallery showed no pictures at all.
i was able to start a video by directly clicking on it within the filemanager.
i removed the external sd card, but this behaviour did not change after that.
than i copied all content from the internal sd card to the external sd card, formatted the internal sd card within the phone and than moved all the files back from the external to the internal sd card.
i did NOT overwrite any files that were created after formatting the card.
this finally helped and the media applications now work again as before.
my guess is, that the media database somehow got corrupted and therefore i would like to know the file names where the database is stored.
than, if this happens again, i can just delete the relevant files.
Its a hidden file in /mnt/sdcard/.gallerycache/ delete that and media scanner should rebuild the cache.

Hello Peeps,
I have a weird issue that just happened.
I flashed a ROM last night, I was running CleanRom and I flashed SmoothRom.
After I flashed, all my SD Card files were moved to Data\Media folder in the internal storage of my nexus.
I cut the files and placed them back into the SD Card external storage folder.
I rebooted and everything was fine.
I then rebooted into recovery and flashed SmoothRom again.
The Rom loaded and everything was fine.
I pulled up File Expert and all my SD card files were moved again to the Data\Media folder.
I opened Root Browser and tried to move all the files back to my SD card and they only copied about half of them.
Then I got a message saying my storage was full.
I checked and the system shows I have used all of my 16GB of storage.
I am not able to delete anything to free up space.
What will happen if I wipe external storage in TWRP?
What will happen if I wipe internal storage in TWRP?
Will I lose root?
Will I brick my device?
Please assist.
Thank you ,
You don't have external storage. All you have is the memory in the N7. You are duplicating files when you copy from data/media to sdcard. They share the same memory. You simply have multiple copies of the same files in different places on your internal memory.

Thank you for responding.
I realize that now, that is what caused me to eat up all my memory.
The memory was so full I could not do anything, could not delete or anything.
I have since fixed it.
Thank you again for responding.
I am unable to change my default storage to SD card because applications like SwiftKey go wonky, so I'm trying to move apps and files manually with APPS2SD. But I get a message in the app that says
"This device does not have a real primary External storage, or the primary external storage is emulated .
Moving to SD card is not supported by this device "
So when I look into my files in Es file Explorer, it reports my internal storage and external storage as almost empty but my system storage says that it isn't.
Why is this a problem? How can I fix this
I was having a weird bug. I could create folders on the internal SD card.
I was reinstalling an emulator (Drastic) when it started throwing a strange error about not being able to create a saves folder. After some investigation I found out I could not create *any* folder at all in the internal SD. More specifically, I cannot create a folder on the root of the internal SD; the external SD and all the other folders of the internal SD work as normal. In other words, I can not create a folder on /storage/sdcard0
Now, however, my internal SD cards has simply vanished! I am unable to find it on Settings > Storage or on my card. After rebooting back and forth it is back up, however it doesn't appear on my PC (neither in Linux nor in Windows) when I connect using mass storage, nor can I still create folders. The external SD appears on Windows Explorer as normal (and I can run chkdsk on it).
Running chkdsk on the internal SD yields the following error message: "Cannot open volume for direct access." even though it is listed on the drive list.
I think I have provided all the info I can. I would be grateful for any help.
PS: Nobody on my device forum seems to have this issue, so it's not a ROM or device problem.
You tried reflashing with other ROM mate?

The problem was not the ROM. Yesterday I ran fsck on it and it fixed all issues.

Are you sure that the microsd card is ok with no damage ? I kindly advise that you can test the condition of the microsd card directly on other PCs or make use of this microsd card after inserted into a gadget like the following : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GLL40SA . If it works, you may try to format the card and process the same operation like creating folders. Remember to back up the important data anyway.
I am new to miui rom, always using stock or custom android roms.
I am using it for now as cant see a rom I like the look of but having trouble with the way it uses the storage.
I have an SD card but it appears to see the internal and SD as one whole storage location - is that true?
I download files and the inbuilt file navigator is a pain, but the storage location is internal, but i cant copy to this or from this on my PC. i have to use ES file explorer to copy the files from internal to a location on SD (as it shows as separate storage in this app) and then i can copy from // to the SD card..
how do i amend this? i just want to download and copy to PC if needed with ease.. (when i tried making the download location on the sd card the files never actually saved, after the download completed i checked the location but the file was not there).
