I installed TWRP Manager from the Play Store yesterday on my Rooted T-Mobile S4 running Insane KitKat V8. I tried to do a clasic backup, the backup was finished but it was saved to main memory, and it must of been huge as I lost almost 5GB on main memory. I am going crazy trying to find where it was saved so I can delete it. There was nothing in /0/TWRP/ except a small file. Appreciate the help.

Do you remember the name of the backup? If so, you can open es file manager and you can use the search function. Search under device.

OK. Open es file explorer and click where it says sdcard and choose device. Then click on search, type 2014 and all of the 2014 files will show up. When you find your backup just copy and paste to your twrp folder under sdcard.

Check TWRP mngr settings and confirm that main memory is internal or external.

So I flashed 4.1.1 jelly bean and I was checking my storage and this is what I got!! What's wrong with my storage?

I recognise that. I had the same problem, but you just have to wait. There is a tab that is called misc. That show up after a while, there is probably your storage disappearing.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
While it was "Calculating" there is an item called "Misc", and it disappears after calculating is done. I think maybe it's your nandroid backups, Titanium backups, or some other files. I suggest you to adb shell into your device and use "busybox du -sd1" to see which directory takes most space.

I don't have titanium backup or anything. My phone isn't even rooted. Did any of you guys find a solution to this problem?
What is a nandroid backup anyway?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
use a free google play market app called DiskUsage to find exacty whats taking up your storage..
Thanks man. That worked, it shows that I have my old apps (Shadow gun, max Payne etc) still stored. Is it safe to just delete them using the app you recommended since it gives me the option to?

yea, thats what i normally do when i find something taking space that i dont want. its usually app data from a deleted app that takes up the missing space(for me).

ASTRO file manager is a good tool for doing the usual file manipulation tasks, and it does not require a rooted phone to work with SD card contents. It's free on the Play store.
Just long-press on a file and tap "delete" or use the "multi" button to select and move/copy/delete/etc. multiple files at once.
I recently went back to ics stock ..rooted the phone and started to remove the bloat trough es file explorerel..but now,in place of the apps..I get the icon with sd card logo. For example ,PlayBooks
Where did I mess up?

Looks like you installed some apps to sdcard?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
You moved apps to your sd card probably? That's when you get those symbols
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
just wipe cache partition and reboot they should be gone or reinstall if they are missing. That happens to me alot.
Just reboot. Since you removed those bloatwares, after you exit the app you used to remove them with, your app drawer looks like that. Just reboot.
I rebooted in to cwr,flashes super cache wipe and rebooted back into ics,but the problem is still there
Edit: I kinda fixed the problem. I disabled them trough settings--application

How did you remove the bloat? Thru titanium? Thru the ROM?

That could be your problem. You have to uninstall, not just delete the apk's. Try uninstalling thru titanium, ROM toolbox, or the ROM. See if that makes a diffrence

I don't know of a way to restore directly from dropbox. I believe it WS designed as a means to store the backups rather than restore from there.

Right. There are some apps on the market you can use to download from drop box to your phone. I've never used them but its worth a shot if you don't have a PC near by.

I had same problem. When I flashed a different rom and reset factory data it cleared all that up. I'm guessing I had corrupt data. Also gained space by going in recovery and " delete unused backup files" I think that's what the category was called.

If you want to clear everything up, which is something I like to do routinely to keep everything running smoothly, you can use Odin and flash a stock tar file. Just stay away from the stock 4.3 that has Knox. Flashing back to 4.1.2 is your best bet.
