tried it ,didn't work
download Recuva for your PC, connect your phone and then try to scan your internal memory and maybe you will recover something... but many files may be corrupted

Wiping data should leave media and internal storage alone. So pics and stuff I believe should still be there.
You not coming from a really old ROM to new are you and the path has changed ?
As in the emulated sdcard/0 or whatever it is.

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.

If you haven't noticed, there is no physical "SD" - so if I format "SD" right now - will my system still run?
I've asked google and it's not getting me anywhere ;(

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.

If the data has already been formated, then you can't recover it. It's gone.

Dude. Don't rage.
Formatting data=deleting it permanently
You can't recovery formatted data. It's gone.
Next time, remember to do a backup.
If you google "recover formatted pics nexus 4" and have a read of the results then you will find progs for your pc/mac and apps for the phone that say you can recover your files from both internal sd(os side) and the sd card(data side).
You can use the trial versions to see what is recoverable but if you want the actual recovery then you will have to pay,its up to you.

Tried one of those when I accidentally formatted my Desire's sd-card. It didn't recover anything, and destroyed my hopes among it
I agree with him.... It's all gone if you formatted the data... Sorry bro

Only do this if you want to delete your nandroid of your stock ROM. If you want to keep that backup, move it to the SD card or your computer first.

Or just do a complete wipe (system,data,cache) and install CM 10.1 again.
Hey all. I got a major issue where i cannot move,delete,copy or edit any of the files and folders from my Sd card and everytime i try for example to delete something i get the message "..it cannot be deleted". I also tried to export something from dropbox to sd card and i also get an error message saying " Storage full or unavailable" . Lastly i also can't seem to move files from my pc to the sd card . I started having this problem today that i flashed rastakat rom 4.4. Running its latest version,with PA gapps. From my perception its like i don't have the rights to edit anything other than download and install from playstore that works normaly. Please help. Thanks in advance.
By the way i also re flashed like 5 times and problem hasnt been solved
