Nothing is needed on external sd or internal sd when you root. You can format both internal and external sd cards after rooting with no issues after. Any files that are needed will be replaced after format.

well if you r having any doubts you can back up ur SD card's contents & Format it .....
If you're like me and you always make backups in cwm when flashing new roms etc, then check the the backups folder under clockworkmod on your sd card. Those backup imgs are huge and can add up. I freed up a few gig by deleting the ones I didn't need.

I did every thing except this one.. didnt cross it to my mind.. ill givve thanks if it helps.
So looks like my SD card is about to run it's life and I bought a new one to replace it. Now since I am rooted do I have to do anything or do I just transfer all the files on my SD card to the new one and thats it?
I would format it from the phone settings first. Even though it may be readable, this will ensure that the file system is what it should be.

So im a rogers S3 user. I have a Sd card and internal storage of 16 gigs. currently I am running cyanogenmod...and for some reason I cannot view all the files of my internal storage. I keep moving pictures over to my SD card but not all pictures go nor do they even come off as what is being used in the internal storage. currently under miscellaneous there are 10 gigs of memory being used on what i do not know. any recommendations on how to lower this..should i just delete the entire miscellaneous and start new? its really confusing as I looked into my SD card and I had moved everything but i am not sure why the SD card is not showing all my pictures yet on my phone the pictures are somewhere yet i cannot see all of them from the internal storage either..any ideas?!
Well you can always transfer your stuff to a PC then go into recovery and make a nandroid. Then completely wipe everything, then restore your system

The thing is it looks like everything I save to sd is going to internal
Well just transfer everything you want from there onto your PC and wipe it all including your sd card if you have one. That's just what I would do I've never cared to mess around. I'll just wipe all then go from there, doesn't take long

So I would just wipe all using cwm?

Hi. My problem is based on the fact that I can not copy the built-in memory. Photos and generally everything can not be saved. Even the system folders can not create. Memory is seen by the computer but it is completely empty and you can not copy anything to it. I wanted to install the new ROM, but unfortunately I can not put a zip in memory -.-
probably best to work with a memory card but I lost it
Sorry for my bad english
Format it.

Already I think I know what the problem is. I've been using phoenix rom and externalSD to sdcard MOD. And now i don't have sd card. Thanks in advance for your time
So I know that out of the 16 GB about half is taken up by the Samsung apps I'm fine with that. My question is this it shows 9.72 total space and if I add up everything on the internal SD card I should have about 4.5 GB available although it shows only 3.2 GB left. Any ideas where I should look or apps I could use to help trouble shoot this. I am using the Dark-stalker Rom latest version. This problem did happen with the stock ROM as well. The only thing I can think of is I used folder mount to store some data from a few game loft games on my external card. Since then I have deleted the games and unpinned the folders to be mounted to the SD card. I'm at a loss and would love any input.
I attached a pic of the storage read out
Thanks

Do you use ClockworkMod Recovery and save your backups to internal storage?
That could cause this because the rom backup doesnt show on the sd card list you posted.

OK so yea I forgot I did a backup before I flashed this rom. Where would I find out where it stored. Im assuming I could then just copy it to the SD for now until I needed it for any reason.
