I went from LiquidSmooth to Jelly Beans (a touchwiz-based rom) to LiquidSmooth again. Unfortunately, it looks as though my internal sd card was wiped in the process. However, my internal SD card is suspiciously full of data.

No matter how much digging I do, I can't seem to find why the internal storage is so full despite all the visible folders accounting for hardly any space at all.
These combined folders only make up 781 kb of data.
Are my old files still hiding somewhere in my Galaxy S3?
EDIT:
I found the data! It was hidden in mnt/shell/emulated.
Hopefully this helps someone in the future if they run into this same problem.

Hi folks,
I've tried looking on the Note 2014 board but can see no trace of this problem anywhere. Basically, the internal storage on my Note is disappearing. I have attached a screenshot that shows the storage on my device:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see on the left circle, I have used 9.8GB of the total 11.79 total storage (available after the system installation) but the right circle shows the distribution of the file types but the numbers don't equate to 9.8GB. All apps show the same thing. Any idea on the cause? I should have far more space than this.
A different app showing the same split:
Many thanks for any help you can give

Nobody else had this? It's really bugging me and the only way around it is a reflash of my rom

My wife's phone's internal SD filled up with some rogue phantom files that wasn't accessible or even visible with file browser app on Stock firmware.
I decided to root and flash with CyanogenMod - being sure to format the system in the hope that those rogue, phantom files were wiped. This didn't work and the attached picture is its current state showing only 2.62GB available where there should be around 8GB available.
Can anyone shed some light on this perplexing issue.
Many thanks

...Somebody humor me, at the very least - It's driving me mad!
As you can see in the screenshot below the OS Occupied size is 8.63 and internal storage or partition size of ext4 is just ~23gb, Very less for a device with 32gb storage.
So i dig into this problem and found that 8gb includes my TWRP backup i took a long back ago, Now i want to delete it but i can't find it. I tried for searching backups in TWRP but there's none i think TWRP looks in ext4 that is it only searches in 23gb, not 8gb.
I spent the whole night yesterday to fix it but no success. I want my ext4 partition to take the normal space that near about ~29-30gb and i want to delete that backup. I want my partitions to be as it was before (its fked up)

I have recently switched to Adoptable Storage using 128GB SD Card. However upon successfully completing the steps, I found that not much space is available. Most of them is taken away by System Storage as shown in the image below in "About Phone > Storage".

However, looking at the File Manager all seems perfectly fine as shown below
My Xiaomi Renot 5 is not rooted nor bootloader unlocked and I have no plan in doing so.
The ROM being used is still the latest Official MIUI 11.
I sincerely hope that anyone has a solution for this problem and I don't really want to resort to Factory Rest if possible.
Thank you in advance
Hello, so I followed this guide and put new 64GB MicroSD card into phone, formatted is as internal storage, moved system onto it and unfortunately it doesn't seem to work as intended - free space is still few hundred MBs as it was before and I cannot install some bigger game because it shows there is not enough space :-\
It's MIUI 11.0.2

it shows system storage is 53.49GB, but some OS parts think it's not free. I can connect it to PC and I see there is almost 10GB in DCIM\Camera and this works fine in the gallery app.
