Hey....
Do you took a couple of a couple of beers when you did this dude ? lol
And do you have some full NANDROID backups on you PC ? If yes and can still
boot into recovery try to FORMAT DATA, then reboot recovery and see
if it's 0mb.
Regards
note 1: you never talked about your model/firmware/TWRP, etc...
note 2: you wiped your phone, now do what i suggest you at your own risk

[Q] Huge Internal Memory Problem

I go into my Storage details to check on my memory , and i get this (Please see the attached photo).
So as you can see , there is something very weird going on. The maximum storage is 8.9GB and the application,according to my phone, are taking around 27GB. According to me, I barely have a few applications which are each no more than 5 MBs , and my photos and videos are no way near 1 GB on my internal memory. I store all my media on my external SD card with a storage space of 14.8GB with 2.6GB free. I'd really appreciate help because this is very frustrating since I can't update my phone because of this storage problem and the Low Storage notification is always there. Thank you.

I knew about the factory reset, but I wanted to consider it as the last resort, unless it wouldn't be too much of a problem to get everything back as it were. Could you just give me a few pointers not to forget before I carry on with the reset ? Thanks.
backup any important files like : Contacts, Pictures, Videos elc...
if you dont know how to backup contacts or logs there is an app called Easy Backup
after backup copy the files from the device storage to SDcard or to PC
then carry on

TWRP Format Data

Hi all sorry for asking a dumb question, but would "format data" button inside TWRP's Wipe section (the button above factory reset) also delete a TWRP backup?

If your twrp backup in microsd card then it will not delete.
"Format data" will delete ( system/data/cache/dalvic cache/internal storage)
If you are planning to clean your device to install new clean rom then Make a backup of current rom and all your data in microsd card/usb drive before you do this.
So if the backup was in the internal sd it would have been deleted then right?

Yes it will be deleted
Go to my files and copy entire TWRP folder from internal storage to microsd card if you need your backup.
Thanks!

After FORMAT DATA there is nothing there to recover.
Everything has gone, sorry.
Only if you had made a TWRP backup, stored in the external sdcard, then you could restore it and get your DATA files back.
But in that case also, your personal files(pictures, music etc) are not included in this back up.
Only APPS data, meaning files that make apps working, are restored this way.
ALL your personal data, are stored in the internal storage.
If you have performed a DATA format, nothing is there anymore.

So you can recover data if it was not overwritten, even if it was deleted. You can use special software.
Which options do we need to select to backup existing ROM? And to do a recover in case of device failure.
Boot? System? System Image? Vendor? Vendor Image?
Maybe a dumb question but: If you format data, can you boot in current rom?

No, you can't lol. Format data wipes everything on the storage of the device. You better install a rom after wiping everything or you will get stuck in bootloader / bootloops.
In some a/b slot devices, if you don't have a rom installed, your custom recovery is also wiped because it usually resides on the boot.img.

All you have to do is plug your phone in to your pc and just drag them (your rom files) to your storage. That's all
Or if you want, you can use an USB OTG.
