We need more info. What roms/mods are you using? Have you tried transferring the data from the sd card to a pc, reformatting the sd card, then transferring it all back and putting it in the phone?

I haven't but I guess I will

You may need to back up your memory card than reformat it than restore it again from your backup. I found than reformatting will fix most memory card issues.

Unfortunately it takes a little time, this may be the answer to your problem

Be patient. Sometimes it gets stuck for a while, but it eventually goes. I've had situations where I've had to wait 10 minutes. Now, that's only happened like twice but it does happen. Just give it time.
Also, did you just flash a ROM? Like, flash, reboot, and this happens? Because whenever you flash a ROM, the media scan takes forever.
If nothing really works, just try reflashing the ROM.

I formatted my sd and got rid of 5 of my 8 gb ._. Now I'm waiting for everything to get back on.

Trust me this was the issue....just make sure you also only put back on what is needed....these card get corrupted very easily...good idea is to format every so often...i also delete all the bs before a flash....lost dir, android, etc...keeps my **** clean every time...

Nothing's ever happened to my Epic...and I've used up more than 13 GB.

There is a bad read on there somewhere. Why do you only have an 8MB card? It came with a 16MB? You definitely need to back it up on a computer with a card reader, then go into CWM and reformat the card.

Try unmounting your SD card, retry the update, then remount the SD and see if that works for you.

Here are a few..

If you have install issues, unmount your sdcard first, then install/update your apps. Afterwards, re-mount your sdcard.

Might help. Do you have many backups or multiple roms stored on your internal sd card? Those take a lot of space.

Did the thread i linked to do no help? The zip in that thread will put you back on stock unrooted mb1.
I honestly don't think root has anything to do with your memory issue. I would bet there is leftover crap that didn't get deleted somewhere.
You can try formatting your internal sd card, though that'll delete everything, but it'll give you a fresh start.
Make sure to have a backup of something on your external sd card though.

If your memory is low, make sure you don't have ROMs or big downloads left over from downloads. Make sure you delete the backups with a file explorer.

Cleaning up SD card after multiple flashes?

I've flashed dozens of roms in the last month & for some reason cwm (I think this is the culprit) creates all these 0/ folders & it's really annoying. Now all ym downloads, music & apks are ALL over the place. Is there a fix for this? Or is there something I'm doing wrong? Please help.

Its not CWM, its 4.2+ roms, they partition your sdcard and store everything in /0 rather than in /
