Just format the sdcard and you will have totally clean storage.

Bud will it delete my ROM i am on or only sdcard?

Sdcard is the storage and only wipes that, if you format system you take away the rom tough.

i think you mean to say that your Sd card files are not showing ?
But when you view with link 2 Sd then its showing there right ?
I think u need to backup your Sd card in PC then u need to format your Sd card in fat 32 using you're phone not in PC .... Then restore your files via USB cable from PC ....
and also do a wipe data /factory reset in stock recovery

link2sd cannot mount its scripts on stock roms!! That's why you cannot view the 2nd partition!!
@leodasal2
No buddy.... I'm using link2sd on stock rom... And it's working awesome.
I think he doesn't have problem with ext partition but the fat32 partition
This happened to me once your sdcard must be failing, you better backup your data before it says format unable to read device

Ya I'm on stock kernel as in signature, and I can create link also.
No problem at all.
Im also on stock Rom& stock kernal and link2sd is working perfect for me....
but i had these problems before....
I experimented many times by relinking and recreating mount scripts...but the problem came once in a while.
But after that i've backed up the .apk s and cleaned up the second partition and cleared data(settings-applications-manage-link2sd-clear data button) and now again used link2sd, created links and now the mounting problems are over! hoo....
Try formatting your sdcard,
Backup first in your pc, or delete your ext partition using minitool partition or easeus partition, make it (your sdcard) empty , copy paste cwm to your sd, and flash it via recovery , goto Advanced n then choose Partition SD Card . Hope this help..
Also, if its not working again, try deleting "content holder" or something like that, on /system/sd . Use root explorer (recommended) .

TWRP internal sdcard install?

Hi everyone!
I originally installed TWRP when I rooted today, but when I went to install and internal sdcard, nothing is there. However, everything else is there on CWMR. Is there something I'm missing here? thanks!
~bump
It's located weirdly under /data/media and NOT under /sdcard .
Yes I thought same thing but for some reason it list all of internal card folders and files at /data/media.
The ext SD card shows normal when on it though
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
Technically /data/media is normal. If you navigate to that when you are in Android you will still end up at your internal memory. All the other mounts you are used to (/mnt/sdcard) are only symlinks.

Yeah that's right...forgot about that. Technically the sdcard card space that we view as our personal internal storage is merely a symlink for the android os. Makes sense now. Thanks

[FIX] Internal Storage Issue GS3 even after wipe

THE FIX IS BELOW (it's the quote)
My description of my problem is below but, first off I want to say that I have made several searches on google, androidcentral, and xda about this issue and have found no solution. I have also attempted to trouble shoot the problem myself by fixing permissions, wipes, flashing backups, deleting really old backups, etc. I even purchased SD Maid Premium and deleted duplicates and ran the appcleaner.
I am running CM10. I use Titanium Backup and Clockwork Recovery Mod to backup my system and apps regularly. I was running CM10 with KT Kernel (and used KTweeker to undervolt my processor) but recently flashed a new CM10 nightly (with a fully factory data, cache, and davilk cache wipe) and kept the "baked-in" Cyanogen Kernel.
I got a notification that my internal storage was close to full (this happened right after making a backup using CWM, I was running CM10 and KT kernel at the time and had 4 additional older nandroid backups). So I went through my apps, pictures, videos, old backups etc and deleted a bunch of stuff. But I still had the storage full notification. I then wiped data, cache, and davilk cache, and flashed the latest CM10 d2att nightly and gapps4.1. Before installing any apps I went to check my storage in Storage Settings, Apps Settings, and SD Maid . In App Settings and SD Maid it showed 7.5gb used and 4.5gb free, but in Storage Settings it showed 0.4gb used and 11.6gb free. (In my research I found that this may be because my ROM (CM10) is odexed). I have done some exploring using Root Explorer and found that my /data file is 7.5gb, i have a file /storeage/sdcard0 that is also 7.5gb and a /storage/sdcard1 that is 2.3gb.
I have come to the point where I just want to fully wipe my phone and start over; i think it is called a hard reset. It would be more than a Factory Data Wipe, which I have done several times in Clockwork Recovery Mod and it always leaves behind 7.5gb of data in my storage. I dont mind loosing all my data, media, etc. It would be nice if there was a solution that did not require a "hard reset" but I am willing to do it if that is my only option. I am familiar with download mode and odin in case that needed for the hard reset.
Thanks in advance for all the help.

Fixed.
First I took all my media and files I wanted to save and transferred them over to my external sd card. Then I downloaded the zip files for the latest CM10(any rom will do) , gapps, and ktoonz kernel and transferred those over to my external sd card.
Then I rebooted into recovery. I went to mounts and storage and formated /system /data /cache and /sdcard
After that I flashed the zip files I downloaded earlier from my external sd card.
Rebooted and took this screen shot.

You can go to mounts and storage in cwm and format everything. That pretty much wipes you clean. Fixed a similar problem I was having.
I didn't do my external sd though

Will this delete a ROM (.zip) (that I would flash after the formating) from my /sdcard?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
It's an issue between our GSIII and rom manager, go to settings, then storage, then miscellaneous, wait for it to load, select rom manager, hit the delete key. This will not un install the program it will however delete your nandroids backups.
From now on only make your nandroids while in recovery and always choose ext-sd for output.
This is what fixed it for me. Please let me know if it works for you.

Cleared Data in Settings, Apps, Rom Manager. Backups are still there, I have one recent backup and a backup called "blobs" that I never made. Come to think of it, blobs showed up around the time the problem started. I read somewhere not to delete it though. What is blobs?
Also I'm still looking into formating /system /data /cache etc. Will that possibly brick my phone? Any tips?

I'm going to format /system /data and /cache soon but before I do I would love some feedback on if formating /system /data or /cache will unroot, brick, delete the zip I plan to flash after the formating (the zip is on my external sd) or any other pitfalls I could encounter by formating.
Thanks and I'll let you know how it works.

I would also very much appreciate some info on what /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/sdcard1 is. I think those are possibly what's causing me to show 7.5 gb full even after a factory reset wipe
Thanks

You're on cyanogenmod 10 right.
0 is the phones internal storage and 1 is the ext-sd
Btw why are you should probably ditch rom manager in favor of rom toolbox pro-if you do you'll get rid of those pesky blob files
I love rom manager for its ease of use but had to ditch it because it's blobs take up so much space on my gs3, at least until they update it to allow backups to be sent to the ext-sd. again.

Is there any reason to think that this won't work on the verizon version with cm10.1
i had an 8gb legacy folder after doing a full wipe and reflash.. just deleted it and everything works
I didn't notice this 0 folder issue until today. Up until now I was wondering why some files seemingly disappeared etc. Then I noticed too much space unavailable. This copy this over there and all that was not working so here's what I did:
Copy what you want to keep from internal sd to external sd
Get zip of your current rom and copy to external sd
Nandroid to external sd
Remove external sd from phone
Boot into recovery
Wipe everything, data, cache, dalvik 3x for good measure
Insert external sd
Reboot recovery (ignore no OS warning)
Flash rom (creates a clean file system and installs rom)
Reboot into rom and let it load
Reboot into recovery
Factory wipe, cache, dalvik
Restore your Nandroid backup
Reboot
Tada
/storage/sdcard0 is the mount path for your internal sd card. /storage/sdcard1 is your external. /storage/emulated is the location used for the emulated card in Android 4.2 for multi user support

Its been a long time since I used CWM 5.0.2.6, but can I suggest doing it via Windows on a PC? Format as FAT. Its much easier.
