I just flashed the XenonHD stable 5.0 ROM on my Gnex (clean flash), coming from LIQUIDSMOOTH. Before the wipe/flash I had only used about 9.4 or 9.7GB (can't remember which) of my 13.33GB of data. After wiping/flashing, re-downloading my apps, etc. It says I've used about 13GB of storage, with roughly 500MB left. I deleted all my music which cleared about 3.04GB, but I can't just not have my music. Any ideas on why this happened?

Look in the Storage section of settings. Should show you what's using the memory. Could also be NANDroids just sitting there taking 1-2gb each.
Are you coming from android version 4.1.1?
The biggest thing is miscellaneous files. The two taking up the most space are clockworkmod and 0. I noticed I now have sdcard/0/0. They all sdcard/0 seems to be my normal root folder, but the second one is my old root folder before wiping and flashing. That's where I deleted all my music, since that's where it was before wiping and flashing.
And my previous ROM was on 4.2.1, this one is 4.2.2

Then why did you have to ask us?Update your recovery to one that properly handles the new file system. Delete some of the NAND's stored in CWM. Get rid of all the 0's except one.
I asked because I had no idea that's what I should do. How do I go about doing that? Not everyone's a genius at this.

R: Storage space problem after flash?
Fast simple way Imho is to install goomanager, install script from that (it update to last Twrp recovery) wipe e re flash your favorite rom.

I jus recentlt rooted my phone and flashed recovery mod and then flashed cm10 and it was working fine and still works fine...
the problem is that in recovery I wiped data and cache and dlvick or whatever its called.I followed the instructions to a t and it all worked fine..but when I went into my sd card info and it says I have 11.95gb and only 2.30gb available. ..I have 7.94gb in miscellaneous files...so I tried wiping again in recovery and flashed my original backup rom and everything works fine except for my big gb games like gta3 etc..so its like it wiped it all or moved it over somehow..how can I fix this? please and thanks!

Get disk usage from the market. It will show you the files using all your storage. It's probably your old CWM backups. You can delete your unused backups through CWM.

Best bet would to just plug your phone into your pc and see what is taking up so much space. if is misc data, i could see it being zip files and what not.
Or it could be if you flashed 4.2. 4.2 has this profile thing that is only for tablets but they just disabled the function for mobile phones. look through your directories to see if there is anything under sdcard/0/. if there is, make sure you take all the data you want/need out of the /0 directory and put it back under your sdcard and then just delete the /0 directory. Hope it helps.
Or just use the disk usage app I suggested and you completely ignored. It will list your biggest culprits.

So I'm on cm10.1 and I'm wanting to go back to 4.1 probably frosty jb. Am I able to just flash frosty from twrp or do I have to odin 4.1 first??
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
just flash the 4.1 after wiping everything including internal and external storage, (I do and suggest it). This way the emulated/0 folder wont be there and cause you to clutter the threads up. Of course back up your both of your storage areas, if you choose to wipe them.
Beware, it seems going back from 4.2 to 4.1 could break your GPS. If that happens, you can look in the General section on a possible fix.
You can install any Rom with twrp whether you are going from 2.3.2 to 4.2 or vice versa.

Yup I have just be sure to wipe cache dev cache and delete data a couple times before and after. You should be OK.

I also flashed the 4.2 rom when I was experimenting when I first got my phone. When I flash back to 4.1.1 I had the emulated /0 folder. At that time I just copied everything out of that folder into the internal. Problem with that is the /0 folder can not be deleted. I have been wondering what is the best method to format internal sd. I am currently on Frosty rom and I have nothing to lose in my internal that can't be replaced. Can I just format and reboot system or do I need to reflash rom after deleting internal? On other devices I have had there was always a risk of bricking if you formatted internal. I would appreciate any advice so that I don't mess up my phone. Thanks is advance. BTW I use TWRP as my recovery method.

Thanks for all the help. Wiping data and both caches worked perfectly fine to get back to 4.1

Hey is Bluetooth working in 4.1 cm10? Specifically the music streaming to blue tooth?
Just went back to stock for Bluetooth but I hate stock...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Imma say... going from 4.2.1 back to 4.1 was a b!tch. Caused me to have to start all over. And as another individual stated above, there is an emulated /0/ folder that 4.2 uses due to the new profile architecture. Basically you wiping your phone, it leaves a copy of your SD card in the /0/. The restore process in CWM (I've not used TWRP on my GS3 so I can't speak for it), it breaks the restore process as CWM can't read from other than it's predefined restore location. Now I've read on the Nexus 7 forums that do restore, you could potentially make a copy of your CWM folder from /0/ into your base sd folder.
I guess just play around with it, but personally I recommend not jumping to 4.2.1. I personally had to ODIN back to stock and wipe everything and start over cuz I ran out of space to move files and it just took too long since each time you wipe, it would embed everything in a /0/ and eventually the copies just overwhelmed.
But basically key understanding of this whole restore/downgrade issue is 4.2.1's profile architecture dumping all your SDcard (phone) content into /0/ and your CWM is used to restoring from SD/clockworkmod/backup rather than looking @ SD/0/clockworkmod/backup.
I flash from 4.2.1 to 4.1.1 and back all the time... Never ever had an issue

Hi. I restored my att note 2 back to orginal stock firmware so that i can start fresh again but all of my data remained. Should the data have been removed also? Very new at this and wants to learn. Thanks
It should have been removed
Unless you mean memory stored in the internal storage and external storage
But apps and data should be gone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
My twrp backups remained. All of my rom files are available still that I downloaded. All downloaded apps were removed. My purpose was to remove all this. Instead over 11 gigs of space taken up after restore. Hope this makes sense
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
hey
it does not remove it because when you loaded on the stock firmware you forgot to wipe all the data so hold all 3 buttons and then when you see note 2 release all but the volume up button then go down to factory restore or wipe LOL have not look at the stock screen for a while anyways just clear it there and reboot and it will wipe it all
if you are planning to return or something amke sure you clear the flashes too good instructions from guys here

good luck
A simple wipe of user data before and after flashing will prevent the old data issues on internal storage..
All data will remain on external storage obviously...g

Do you have an external SD? Or one way is to wipe internal storage. That may help. *****BE SURE TO BACKUP ANY IMPORTANT FILES!****

I had this problem on a previous device. Sometimes booting into recovery and wiping the dalvik and cache partitions did the trick for me. The issue would surface when I started approaching the limit of the internal memory.
Okay I know the Galaxy Nexus should have 32GB of internal storage.
So I was installing a new ROM to try it out and decided to clean the phone out and start fresh. So I pulled everything off the phone to my PC. Then flashed the ROM, minimal G-Apps, and the kernel. Then I look at the file manager and I have 5.04 GB free of 28.1 GB. What gives?
I wiped all the caches, prior and there was nothing other than the zip and TWRP on the phone. Is there something else that I should be doing, like formatting the internal memory prior to flashing or something?
Did you come from a 4.1.2 ROM? Sometimes they make an admitting extra folder in emulated.

Yes, I came from the old 4.1.2 but that was about 7-8 ROM loads ago. I do have a "Legacy" folder in the "emulated" folder. Any ideas on how to re-flash to get rid of these remnants?
