Hello All,
I did search before posting but could not find anything close to what I am experiencing. I am coming from Paranoid Android ROM to Galaxy S fre3 2.34d and I started with a squeaky clean install (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system, format data). I then installed zip from sd card of the rom and then the update and restarted.
When I rebooted and chose to have google NOT restore from backup, I am left with only 2.64GB of internal storage which does not seem right.
The internal storage breakdown does not match what is left over. I should still have something like 8.9GB left over. Any suggestions?

Tap on Miscellaneous file. This will open a window showing you what's taking up so much space.
From there you choose to delete the folders or if you have questions post a screen shot of the results and we can try to help you determine what needs to be deleted.
I understand what you are saying but if you look at the big picture which is that the items listed, subtracted from the 11.95GB you start with does not equal 2.65GB left over.
I found a resolution by using the following wipe tool zip:

After flashing the factory reset zip file, I then installed my new ROM and have 11+GB available.

I just flashed the CM7 hboot using android flasher tool.
Here's a screenshot (regarding which my question is actually based) of "Quick System Info"

}
Per the alpharev website, the readings should be as follows:
/system - 145M
/cache - 5M
/data - 287M
Now, in the screenshot I posted, internal storage (288M) and system storage (145M) seem all right, but why do I have such high "system cache"?? :-o
Also, shouldn't I have the full 287 MB (more or less) internal storage available considering I have only one app installed - Quick System Info, to post the information that is. Is the 40 odd MB accounting to "dalvik cache", perchance?
P.S New to flashing hboots, hence the doubt.
Since no one replied to this, here's the fix I got over at another forum.
Quick System Info is basically showing wrong info wrt to the cache partition.
Better way to check would be using another app Freespace or querying the file systems directly.
Here're the respective screenshots:
Freespace:
Using Adb or Terminal:
Cheers!
Cyanogenmod uses the sd card as system cache. The dalvik cache is in general stored in /data, unless one moves it to sd.
I'm rooted, stock odex jellybean lj7, no mods. I noticed that whenever I delete one of my sms/mms threads, a blank 'place holder' thread will show back up afterwards even though there are zero messages. If I delete them all then they will all disappear.
I did a clean install so idk if it's that. I assumed it was sms backup and restore or my backup root because it happened before with one of those two programs. So I tried to duplicate it again with those programs removed and got the same results. I also use ChompSMS and I thought it was because of that so, just like the others, I tried to duplicate it with the app removed and it still happened.
I've tried wiping the data of the MMS.apk, restarting, powering off and powering back on, wiping cache and dalvik cache but to no avail.
I don't understand what's going on. It's annoying and I don't want to clean install everything again. I'll try to include the screen shots. I can delete the place holder messages if the only messages in the box are place holders and not real text.

Thanks for all the help
Update
I fixed it by going to a nandroid I had made before factory resetting the setup. Idk how a factory reset could bork the stock MMS.apk like that but evidently it did as I didn't change anything.
Hello,
Never had any issues with my G3 in the year ive had it until now!
Basically I've checked my storage as my 16gb internal seemed to be incredibly low (especially since I store everything on my SD), I then realised I had a huge 8gb +/- taken up under Misc - system data. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to reduce this size.
On Samsung phones you can enter the hidden menu and wipe dumpstates and logcats but cant find the option on my d855 hidden menu.
I've flashed a bunch of ROMs and done resets etc but the problem persists. Any help would be great.
Using apps like System Cleaner etc etc DO NOT do anything as the problem lies in system data.
Thanks
Curtis

UPDATE
I've managed to improve my situation by doing the following;
Deleted the 'Facebook.orca' folder from my internal sd (That was a massive 4gb- but for some reason didn't come up under app data etc)
Installed FolderMount and linked my DCIM/Picture folders to my SD to give me an extra 1.5gb of internal space.
Greetings,
For the past few days, I've flashed aokp mm for my duos and having no major problem on it but starting today, i'm unable to access the developer option on setting (see screenshot below) and also, long pressing home button won't take me to recent app. Its kind a weird since I haven't change or making any new settings for my duos. I bet its not a custom rom related issues since some users that i've googled that facing the same eror are coming from other roms as well and all of them were on android 6.x. Any other workaround to fix this?

Couple of q's:
1. Official ROM? Or Unofficial?
2. Did you try Dalvik, and Wiping Wiping Settings Data? (Warning: Wiping settings data will reset)

Yes, I tried both of the method that you suggested but has no luck on it. I also tried changing users but the result is still the same. :/
So today I unlocked my device to flash Pixel Experience and when I wiped everything I noticed this: https://imgur.com/a/uP16KZ2

My device was reporting only 48,9GB of storage total, even though I had just wiped everything. Is this normal?

Yes this is completely normal. This is because there are still partitions available on your device which are not visible to you eg. system , vendor, cache etc.
The Internal Storage partition availabe is for your own storage use.

Yes, Android requires space, too.
