what is the process for formating an internal drive that says i have 225 apps stored on it. Actually its only about 60, which means some how the internal was partitioned when the new load was being installed.. is there something i can do to have access of whole drive save stock apps and rom.. let me know please.. I cant install the modem until i create space on the internal drive.. thanks again
You can flash from external as well. For formatting go to menu> settings> storage. You should find it there. Formatting will wipe everything off of your internal sd.

I recently did an SD swap on my AT&T S3 [internal storage switched to external SD]. It worked, however, I want to return to the normal configuration. There's one problem: my internal SD has only 400MB of storage left. I can't use Odin to return to stock or download any new apps because of no space. Any suggestions?
I don't want to recycle this phone because it's in excellent condition and would love to get it back to normal again.
Thanks.
Um what? Flashing with Odin has nothing to do with your internal SD card...

Go into cwm and format the internal sd card

Copy everything off of internal, format, swap, copy back onto external
You mean copy back onto internal, no?

You can't copy to internal because it is full. So copy the stuff off of it onto something else, then wipe and you can put it back however you like.
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?

I've ran into a problem where my apps aren't seeing my SD card. If I go into storage under settings it see it and can tell me how big it is and how much space is available but my apps don't see it. A file manager can see it and even move files to and from it but my regualr apps cant. Like my camera says no external storage available.
I've tried formatting it in different ways NTFS, exFAT, FAT32 with a couple different allocation sizes but nothing seems to fix it.

Your card has to be fat or fat32. Your card also has to have 50-100mbs left on it also or you will get that no external space or running low using camera. As far as other apps they use the internal sd for storage. Have you tried reformatting it using cwm recovery? It will format the sd or ex sd for you as well. Just some thoughts but you do have a strange issue. If it doesn't work out you might wanna try reflashing your rom to see if that works becsuse it sounds like something is corrrupted somewhere.

Thanks for the reply. Its in fat32. I have tried to format from cwm but it doesn't help. How do I reflash a ROM without my SD card though?

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.

Under settings , storage I get 2 gb device memory, 16 gb device usb storage and 16 gb sd card external storage and yet everything goes to the 2 gb partition... what the hell..?! I heard something about a wiping script. Im using the twrp recovery.. help?

Correct me if i am wrong, but with all android phones, the internal storage is partitioned. 2 gigs are used for downloaded apps, another couple of gigs are used for the system and the rest of the remaining storage is used for the downloaded data within the apps.
Also try moving some of your apps to the SD card. It will help free up some storage in that 2gb partition.

Ou might be right for the partitions but ive never had this problem before. I think something messed up perhaps the partitions? I moved all my apps to the sd card the problem is still there. The bigger storage in the phone just iant being utilized or sonething like that.. I was on the embryo rom for good 4 -5 months had ****load of apps and never had an issue.. been running jedi rom for a few weeks and encoutered this problem. It just doesnt make sence.

I had this same issue on jmt v5, I have no idea what caused it or how to fix it I tried everything, it's like the Rom won't store anything anywhere but the system partition, it's very strange, I switched to embryo Rom by Mohan, all the great touchwiz stuff, very fast and stable, only difference is no Wi-Fi calling, but if u can handle that go flash embryo, best touchwiz Rom I've seen to date
