Having a removable SD inserted has no bearing on what is shown for Phone Storage on this screen. It only refers to the built-in memory.
Is the phone modded? If so, and you have any ROM zips or especially nandroids, these take up tons of space.
Also, if you have apps that download extra data (games in particular) these also tend to take lots of storage.
But without any details about how you use your phone, its really impossible for someone else to tell you what this is.
Try using the following app to see what is taking up so much space:

[Q] MIUI ROM & Apps2SD, not working?

I tried out the MIUI ROM yesterday after I read a thread in the general section about how great it is. One thing that isn't working for me is the Apps2SD. My current ext size is 912Mb, and it is currently ext4. When I go to "menu > settings > system > SD card settings" I get the image below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The phone states my "A2SD+" total space is 0.00B (even thought I just formatted my SD card, and made ext-size = ~912Mb) and the available space is 0.00B.
I have read that in some ROMs the available space is sometimes the wrong value here, so I ran Apps2SD thru RA-recovery, everything went successful. But when I restart my phone, I still get the notification that I am running low on storage, meaning it did NOT work after all.
If anything has any hints/ideas/comments/information about this, please do leave a comment and help me out. Thank you.

Do you have apps installed? Do you have blur? I think that is normal

Have you ever bought an sd card or harddrive? They advertise higher capacities than what you get. system files take up space, and since they aren't meant to be touched, their space is blacked out

simply...
the defualt application itself....system apps rather
it would be 2gb... but, there nothing inside, (would only look like a 2gb sd card)

Wasted Space

There is a ton of empty space in the system partitions. Is there a way to adjust the partitions and make use all that space?

i'm not sure, one thing i know is that you could add 16gb to your phone by upgrading that sdcard
*edit* they only run 20 dollars or so on ebay, i have one for my phone and ive never even had to worry about space for a second
*2ndedit* and you could still use that 16gb card to hold all your backups and custom roms etc
stock ics(liquid nitro)
looks more reasonable and the partition sizes are different(smaller /system larger /data)?
is this caused by different unbrick method/kdz?
interesting let me check mine and ill report back
too lazy for screenshot but here is mine:
cm10.0.0
/data 410mb / 1800mb
/system 373mb/ 826mb
/cache 75mb/ 315mb
personally i dont mind having extra space here , but i could see how some people would want to optimize theirs. cheers guys good luck.

[Q] Wrong storage indicator

Hi! PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY ISSUE!
I recently switched my phone from iPhone 3GS to Galaxy Note II. Conclution: Never considering of changing back to Apple again.
There is one problem I discovered this last week. After my external SDcard crashed, I had to save photos/music/videos on internal HDD instead.
The problem is that i cant transfer music on the phone because the memory-indicator tells me that the memory is already full. Today I removed exported all of the photos to my computer, so there was no photos left. But the indicator keeps telling me that I am allready using pictures/videos for 7,72 GB when it also says Avalible space is 7,23 GB. Total space is 10,36 GB.
When I connected the phone with my computer it tells me an another number.
I belive that there is a bug with the indicator...
If there is a hidden folder on the phone with more files, can you please tell me?
If anyone had or having this issue to, keep me updated for fixing the bug.
Thank you!

Help with Storage/Partition! MAIN

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)
