Storage gone missing (not SD card)

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

Phantom Files On Internal SD. Please Help.

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_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"
}
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

FireTV Cube - storage space is running out - how to delete files in a special folder?

Hello...
I got the message on my Fire TV Cube 2nd Gen. (unrooted) that the storage space was almost full. I then deleted the Kodi-data from the Cube via the app menu.
But I wondered why there was still so little free storage space - other Apps don't use much cache or data. So I used the adb shell to check how the storage space is distributed and found out that the "dev/block/data" or "data/media" folder (see screenshot) is relatively full with 8.7GB.
{
"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"
}
Unfortunately, I do not have permission to view the contents of the folder or delete data in it.
Can anyone help me here?

SD formated as internal but can't install apps

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

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

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