Storage gone missing (not SD card) - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

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_stop_slideshow": "Stop 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

Where are these random folders coming from?

Every now and then, I get a series of folders which look similar to other folders copied but with the front of the folder's name replaced by the symbol seen below. When they appear, I cannot delete them from a PC, but can use any file manager on the phone to delete them from the internal memory. Any ideas? They're always empty. Because of the "~1" at the end of folders, it leads me to believe that maybe my PC is doing this...?

Lost my internal data... but it's still there? [SOLVED]

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.

How to free system ROM

OK as absurd as it may seem. I came across a problem, which seems simple, but actually has NO solution as far as this device is concerned!
here it goes, as it turns out I have a huge appetite for apps. So I filled the measley 857 MB available SYSTEM ROM rather quickly.
Now, What I want to know is, is there anyway to free up this space without actually uninstalling any of my apps? Unfortunately, it seems I can't move the apps to internal storage because of the 4.3 file structure. So, what other remedy is there? I've searched almost the entire internet really and no one seems to have shed light on this. I'll be grateful if anyone here would give this issue some consideration.

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

Why is Adoptable Storage Taking up So Much System Storage?

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".

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
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
