What's up with my storage? I can't do a nand backup because no free space. I just did a clean DU rom install after wiping and then installed 30 apps or so. Shouldn't I have more free space? It's not because of the rom, I had this issue before. Do I need to try wiping internal data or repartitioning something? Thanks for any help.

Ended up having to wipe internal data and then reinstalling everything since my recovery failed (must have been relying on some of the internal data or something).

Hi. Is it normal to have only around 20 mb of free internal storage with 16 apps (each is about 1 mb with cache included) installed (and about 100 on sd)? I've noticed that when I install and then uninstall an app there is less memory than before installing. Are there some temporary files which I must remove???
bump, this is important, please help...
USe ext partition.. means partition your sd and your file will go to sd partition. I have 200apps which is 500mb+, I have 91mb internal storage left.
(Partition work for rooted phone only)

Something is not right:
I have used up 2.99GB for apps + movies, just 3.5MB for pictures, 20KB anf 64MB for Downloads - and yet I only have just 900MB storage space remaining???
Where are the approx. 10 other GB I should have available as storage space... Any idead/suggestions, anyone ??

Did it show that you had 13.x GB free when you first got it? I've read of a few instances where the other people who had this problem had to do something like a factory reset before it properly allocated the free space.
Give it a factory reset/wipe, I was missing some 3GB out of nowhere that I could see.
Thanks, guys... I'll give that a try!

Dumb me...
Apparently, Clockworkmod backups do not show in the JB Settings>Storage view.
Found out about my "rather excessive backup habit" after downloading the excellent "DiskUsage" app from the Play Store... Deleted some of my backups and did a "Factory Reset" via Settings menu.
Et voilà, 10+ GB available again...
Thanks androidarmin,
I was having a hard time figuring out why I couldnt get rid of the 13GB of data that was on my tab.
I tried the factory reset and clearing cache and all that....but all of the old data was still on there.....games and apps.
I wanted to start fresh!
DiskUsage worked awesomely!

I too had this problem and tried factory reset but to no avail. I suspect the only way is to wipe everything from recovery (i.e. including internal storage)
When you wipe your data do you lose your backup as well?
Recently got a Nexus 7 and I'm kind of new to this stuff.
UP +1000
I have the same question.
I use TWRP recovery and in fact I figure out that wiping data is wiping your virtual sdcard also, I can't understand why and ca't find any viale workaround.
It 's due to new feature of android 4.2: Multi user
If someone knows how to wipe data without wiping sdcard
I just use my drop box fit all my back up stuff

The only way it will delete your sd card is if you choose to delete internal storage.
Wiping data/factory reset doesnt delete whats on the internal sd card.

How am I supposed to back up my apps?
Supposedly titanium backup can't be used since it causes problems
Do I also have to wipe my SD card internal storage when doing a clean flash?
I am currently just using the default wipe in twrp.

TB might cause problems, but I've never had any problems and I've used it every time I've flashed a ROM, so if I were you I wouldn't worry about it. And yes, you only have to do the default wipe, but to be safe you can go in to advanced wipe and wipe system as well before flashing. Don't wipe the internal SD unless you want to though

As long as you don't back up system apps or system app data(messages, logs- have caused problems for me) TB will be fine. Make sure u manually backup any obb files for big games if you have.
OK so I'm abroad but really want to switch ROMs to miui which I already have downloaded but will doing a full wipe get rid of all my pictures?

As long if you don't wipe data then you're fine.
All you need to wipe is system, cache, dalvik cache and factory reset. Do not wipe data or else your pictures will be gone. You can always back them up to your computer.

Would an individual factory reset cover it?

Wiping data wipes the data partition which includes your apps and their saved data (game highscores, facebook account info) Your photos are stored on the SD card partition. The SD card includes your downloads, music, game data (usually all the data for high end games like NFS and GTA). Doing a factory reset in setting will wipe your data partition but not the SD unless you specify so. Therefore you should back up your apps and their data using Titanium Backup which basically zips the data partition and places it on your SD. Most Roms you do need to erase the data partition for them to function properly. By using Titanium Backup you can restore all that data by moving it from your SD card back to data
