Now I check my internal storage for the rest, I should have 9.50 GB. It says I am using 7.99 GB which does not make sense, I have nothing downloaded on the device, other then the apps, which is says that is using 3.50 GB. I know I can use a SD card, but I would still like to know what is using my memory up. Any suggestions as to where all the storage is, TIA
No suggestions ?? I assume this storage is normal then ??

Do you have a custom recovery and did any backups? I think TWRP counts backups as system data.

Must be a normal thing then. I was surprised my phone also had so much memory taken, but I thought it's because of the recovery. Apparently not...
I'm on Stock MM 6.0, rooted and with TWRP 3.0.0-1 installed, and Andoid OS is taking up 10.82GB on my device.
So your values aren't terribly different from mine. I'm thinking yours is probably normal, then.
Well I decided to add a SD card to my device, and low and held, it allows you the option to use it as internal storage, which is nice, rather then a portable device, which you can also if you choose that. So I like the option of being able to use it as internal. Any reason why I should not do so, before I set it as such ??
@DJB628 I questioned this at first. By making it adoptable (internal) storage, it encrypts the card, so it can't be used on other devices. I have problems with that. Many times, my SD cards have "failed" in the phones, but I was able to use a card reader on pc to see files. I was able to transfer them to new card, put new card in phone, and done..... Can't do that if SD card is adopted to internal storage...

Got it, so keeping it as a portable storage is best :good:
Can't that be done, if the card is formatted and allow you to use it in another device. ??
Crazy I got on here for help bc of the same issue. I haven't installed a micro SD yet. I have the 32g version. Only have 23 apps installed, no music, no pics. Stock rom rooted systemless. Twrp 3.0 with 2 backups made. And somehow I'm already out of storage. I can't figure it out.

Clearly something is taking up the space. Use a file manager or windows to explore. I bet you have some huge image files or tmp files. How much space is the twrp folder taking up?

From what I can tell, it looks like the majority of that is coming from the 2 backups I have. I didn't think they would be that big though.

How much space is it taking up? I image a full image (system, boot, data), uncompressed is probably in the 2-4GB range? You need to enable compression when creating the backups. That saves some room.

Hello, is the SD card slot placed on top of the battery in such a way that you can't access it without shutting down the phone still?
It's really a precaution. If you remove a card without un mounting it or turning the phone off you could corrupt the data

Plenty off "dumbphones" can handle SD card unmounting, why can't "smartphones"?
I had a w910i, never got corrupted SD card and I removed my SD card often, without doing any unmouting beforehand.

Just go to settings > storage, and hit unmount SD card. It's just with a smartphone its constantly reading / writing from there so it's just a precaution.

Just because you have no use for something doesn't mean others do.
So I'm running CM 10.1 which is running nice. I'm loving the free space that I have and how fast everything is. I made a back up of my rom after setting it up and I've downloaded 2 cm nightly zips. There's the bulk of the space I've used. All of my pictures are on the ext sd card and I have no music on the phone or ext sd card. Now I've posted screen shots below first starting off with titanium stating that I've used 10.2 gb of space with the internal+media. I don't understand that at all. This is where I'm asking for help because that makes no sense. I started using Root Explorer and navigating through the files on the phone and I began to notice that there is copies of copies within folders. You can see with the 2nd screen shot that there is 2 ext sd card files, I don't understand why. The 3rd shows the "sdcard" which I understand is the phones and not my external, and also the storage folder. The 4th pic shows sdcard contents. Remember what that looks like, we'll see that exact group of contents again. The 5th shows the beginning of the storage folder. Now here is where I begin to start to get extremely lost. Emulated, sdcard0, sdcard1, don't understand but okay. The 6th shows inside the emulated folder. Even more lost now with a "0" and "legacy" folder. The 7th pic shows what we saw on pic 4, why is this also here? Pic 8 shows what is in the legacy folder which is the same contents as pic 4 and 7, again why is this duplicated here? The last pic, 9, shows inside the sdcard0 folder which shows the same contents as pic 4,7, and 8. Why? Is my phone making duplicates of files containing loads of space? If so, what is safe to delete so I can keep my storage space free like when I first installed CM. And as far as sdcard1, I looked at the contents and it seems to be my external sd card, just named sdcard1 for some reason.
I understand this is a long and ridiculous post. I have some knowledge of how these things work from when I rom'd my evo 3d. But I swear that phone was nothing like this and I'm completely confused when trying to navigate the S4. I'd appreciate any insight into this. I apologize in advance to my lack of tech knowledge but I thank you for any help anyone can provide!

Not sure why you have 2 extra sd card listing either.
Before you flashed CM did you also format your internal data when wiping? Maybe there's some leftovers from your previous setup.
Everything else looks normal to me, the file system is what it is. The ExtSd card will be the one you can remove from the phone and the sdcard/emulated/0 listing will be the internal storage. I'm not sure why the listings for the internal are repeated but I believe they're all linked to the same folder, I could be wrong.
Everything looks right to me except for that other ExtSd card entry.
TB says you have 10+ available storage, the in parentheses number is how much is left free. If you look under your system settings for storage it will probably say a gig less.
After your Rom installs and takes up system memory you probably have 9.5ish g left, then subtract the backups and roms you said you had in internal memory and your left with 6ish gigs.
I think that's right.

The two internal SD cards. Are the issue from the gs3. Its the new 0 folder format.
Sent from my GT-I9505G using Tapatalk 4
Yes I did format the internal. I had loads of space when I first began with the CM rom. But your logic makes sense. I guess I was looking at it differently or wrongly but I see where you're coming from now. I guess I was just used to my other phone being so straight and simple. Not used to the extra folders everywhere but now I have more of an understanding to why they are the way they are Now I do have two other questions. If i take the backup of the CM build I saved and move it to the extsd card I shouldn't have a problem just navigating to the file using the "restore" function in cwm should I? And my second question would be that I have downloaded the 8/12 nightly zip for CM, that was the one I used to install when I began. This morning I had an update from ROM manager for the 8/13 nightly. I downloaded the zip and flashed it, all is well. While I was browsing through the files I could only find the one 8/13 zip for CM, when I download an update like that through ROM manager, is it replacing the other zip that I already had? I didn't think it worked like that but I'd like to be sure so I can get rid of the old zip to keep space free. Thanks guys for the help!
I'm concerned with that back up also becuase if you look at this screen shot it shows where this back up is saved. Since it's not on the extsd as far as I see, if my phone were to get wiped or screw up and I couldn't access the internal data, I'm assuming I'd lose that back up. Then again I don't know if mnt/shell protects that from happening lol.
Thank you again guys, I'm slowly trying to learn and get the hang of it all

Hi guys,
I have an issue with memory space on SD.
When I check usage in ES explorer or in android I can see that only 1.95GB is free and 10.97 is used. But when I check usage of /sdcard it is 5.22GB
Where did the rest of GBs disappeared? I tried to find hidden files but there is nothing significant.
How can I found what is using the rest of my memory? How to clean it? I have tried with some cleaning apps
but with no success.
/sdcard is only the storage you see if you didn't root. Android has other files and folders that's not apart of sdcard.

Hi
The 8GB or 16GB that come with the device are just the total.
To these we must subtract that used by the operating system.
In a nexus of 16G, only 11G is available to the user, the rest uses Android for your stuff.
I hope I have helped you and excuse my English, Google translate helps me.
Saludos!
This is why you don't buy the 8GB but also why you should invest on 16GB, they're trying to promote cloud computing.

Why to erase or change ROM? It is enough to format sdcard... but I want to know the reason...

bah, I have reading yesterday and today a lot about this but I cannot find a problem. Some people also have this issue.
1. /sdcard/ (along with /root/ directory and other system-level directory)
2. /storage/emulated/0/
3. /storage/emulated/legacy/
4. /storage/sdcard0/
All of those folders have same memory usage and amount of files 3.38GB but yet 8.96GB is being used, and only 3.96Gb free out of 12.93GB.
What is using 5GB of space I do not know....
EDIT:
When I check properties of a Andorid folder:
1.7GB 1826870517
2811 Files 580 Folders
When I check in console:
3584128kB->3.41GB
3392 Files
When I went on file level...
17952kB->17.53 MB
4249006B->4.05 MB
4934876B->4.70 MB
So directory usage is double then file usage.... how is that?
Hello Rajnus,
Since it seemed that we were the ONLY ones having this issue with our device, and no solution could be seen @ the end of the tunnel, I have sent my LG N4 to LG for service.
The verdict was that the memory chip on the main PCB was faulty, and they replaced it under warranty. I sent it to LG in the morning, and received it the same day in the afternoon.
Phone works flawlessly now, I suggest you take this step.
All the best!
Txn for the info.
Did you got a new phone or just new memory?
Sent from mobile
Nope, unfortunately I did not get a new phone, they just replaced the main PCB, which, of course, affected the device IMEI as well.
Well, I will return to stock ROM and return it to the shop. There is big chance to get a new one because in Austria they do not bother to repair phones...

Your issue is described below and was not faulty hardware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033692
The op could be running into the same thing, if I understand the problem correctly, or there are cwm backups taking up additional space.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I already tried the described methods the night before taking it to LG without results.
I even installed AParted to check overall available space, and it too showed ~5,9GB.
I suppose that you have root and custom recovery. Did u check how much space takes all of the backups? info about it is no avaible from android. Just check in recovery, If u use CWM, check option "free unused backup data". Give me feadback if it works for you.

Its easy as pie, no root needed.
Open your command window / terminal on your computer and type the 'adb shell' command (with your phone connected of course). You will need to enable USB debugging in developer settings (which in turn is displayed by tapping the build number of the device 5 times) in order to see the option.
Type 'sm list-disks' to list the disks available for adoption. It'll look something like below - take note of the disk ID (disk:179:160 in this example).

Partition the disk. For this we use the 'sm partition DISK TYPE RATIO' command. For example, to partition the disk above as fully adopted storage (aka private) I'd use the command 'sm partition disk:179:160 private' If I wanted a 50/50 split between adopted and regular, I'd use the command 'sm partition disk:179:160 mixed 50'.

I don't think it works correctly. I followed the directions as say, shows everything like it does on the guide. But... when I went to fill up the phone internal memory, I hit about 300 mb left, and nothing else will install.
This is what im getting...
Error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: command '45 volume partition disk:179:0 private' failed with '500 45 Unknown disk'
my disk name comes up as "disk:179,0" and im only seeing the one (assuming that is the SD card?)
EDIT: "[email protected]:/ $ sm partition disk:179,0 private" Make sure you put the EXACT result of list-disks and not try to copy the tutorial too close. >.<
There's one more step
Go into storage then sd card and select migrate
One thing that bothers me about the process is that at the end, your total storage is wrong. As in the authors posting my total storage showed 90 something gb of 128gb free. i only have a 32gb card installed. so total storage capacity should say 64gb, not 128gb. although cool i think i am going to hold off using this until someone figures out how to make it show the true amount of total storage. at which point i will toss in a larger and faster card.

What is the 179,0 issue? Think I missed that one.
Do people really need that much internal storage? There are several drawbacks with adoptable storage that I don't think are being considered. The S7 uses very fast UFS2 internal storage that's not just fast sequentially but also communicates on a full duplex bus (read and write at the same time). Even the fastest MicroSD cards today are not nearly as quick as the internal storage.

The guy who originally posted this method is using the European variant of the phone, which recognizes the SD card as volume 179:160. Using the U.S. variant, my phone, and others, shows the card as 179,0. When applying the fix to 179,0 the partition volume appears to change to 179,1 or 179,2, creating issues.

Sorry but if your storage shows wrong capacity, that's NOT OK. You could end up with corrupt files.

Woaah first reply .
Amazing work dude .
I was searching for quite a time for a tool to partition sd card without voiding my warranty (without root).
It was so easy and so much useful . Thanks buddy .
add example screenshots for formatting mode 2 - 50% Internal\50% SDCard, SD Card 2GB.
Where can I get "aftiss.cmd" file?:laugh:
Does this support a 100% internal mode? I wanna use this to force adoptable storage on devices that hide the user menu for it.
I'm tempted to do this but I tend to change ROMs on a somewhat regular basis. My question is, what happens to the data stored in the formated as internal sd card partition?
Where can i download tool?
Awesome work. I will try this on my LG STYLO PLUS 2 as soon as I can.

Trying it now, how long should the format itself take? Been at "Formatting Disk: 179,0 ..." for about 5 minutes so far...

in "Storage & USB" settings.
Sorry for the noob question, but what is the benefit of this? Is it better to have it stay as external so there will no app/file will be harmed/affected when I remove it?

The internal partition will not be visible on the other device, a SD Card partition will work fine.

To avoid such problems, before re-partition, format the memory card as removable media.

You can move applications to the memory card with the cache, this significantly saves the memory of your smartphone. Here only a problem in that, system is standard formats the memory card as internal storage OR portable storage, and this is not entirely convenient.
This script allows you to use the memory card as internal storage and portable storage, at the same time!
Anyone used this with Nougat?

Wow I never thought about this possibility.
Until now I only stayed with removable SD card mode, because portability is a high priority. Especially due to the backups that I keep on there. An all-adoptable SD card was therefore never a feasible option for me.
A partition for each is an amazing solution to get the best of both worlds.
I will definitely try this later on.
However, what are your experiences with readability on other platforms?
Windows usually can only read one partition on portable storage. Which partition does show up in the Windows file manager?
Can i use this on Lollipop 5.1?
