[Q] Internal storage incorrect - Moto G5 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I have a rooted stock G5 (Cedric).
A few days ago I installed the official twrp and created a back up to the interal storage, so I could flash xposed and gravitybox. Everything works fine, however I installed an external sdcard and created a second twrp back and this time to the external sd card.
To save in internal storage space, I have deleted the first twrp backup folder completly, but my phone is still showing as me only have 500mb internal storage remaining. It shows "other" as 5gb or so which would be the twrp backup.
I removed this folder, but the folder seems to want to remain, however the folder inside it empty.
Does this phone create a duplicate in the internal space somewhere else, ie I have another twrp backup on the internal storage?
Thanks,

[Q]Viewing internal memory and external microSD on AOKP/CM9

Whenever I use a TW based ROM, I am able to use the file explorer to view both directories. Upon opening file explorer, it would default to the directory for internal storage. A folder in this directory labeled external_sd would then lead to the directory for the external SD card as advertised.
I realize however that CM9 and AOKP rename internal sd to emmc and external to sd card. The issue is, when using a file browser such as estrongs, the root directory defaults to sd card (aka the external storage) and it is impossible find the emmc. When downloading zips from the browser, the files are automatically saved to the emmc (internal) under the download folder, but on CM9/AOKP I can't figure out how to move files from emmc to sd card because I set TWRP to look at external only. Help?

If you enable root explorer in the settings of esfile explorer (free app) u can go to the internal like on tw roms

Try Astro File Manager, it comes up for me just fine.
I don't understand
Hello everyone.
I'm really sorry if I am repeating some other thread or if I am asking questions at the wrong forum. If so, please point me to the right direction.
I searched a lot on the internet about my issue but I can't find any solution for it.
I have a Moto Razr XT910 GSM and just installed AOKP based on Android 4.2.2.
I followed the instructions I found over the internet. They are the same, almost everywhere. So it worked just fine.
I wiped out delvik, cache and internal storage, then created a slot-2 partition with 1GB, where I flashed the ROM. It booted perfectly, and everything was working just fine until I started receiving an error message when I tried to install apps from Google Play. It said I had no space left on my internal storage.
The device I have comes with 8GB internal sdcard. I use my 32GB external sdcard to store music and it was not mounted when I flashed the ROM.
Now, when I go to system settings / storage, I can see I have two entries of internal storage: one with 0,98 GB of space, 150 MB available; and another with 8GB, 5,89GB available, which I can't access and neither can the OS. All the apps are being installed on the 0,98GB internal storage.
When I connect to my PC, it shows two mass storages: one, the external sdcard with 32GB; and the other, the internal sdcard with 8GB, but the Android OS does not recognize almost 6GB of it.
It is not an excess of files or trash, or rest of old OS files, nor anything like that. And all of the sudden I have this icon telling me my "storage space is running out". How can it be if I still have Almost 6GB of free memory? I don't understand,
Can anyone explain to me what is happening? Is there anything I can do to solve this problem?
Thank you very much.

Edit:
When I mounted my external sdcard, the OS started to install the app files on it, and not on my internal sdcard.
Also, my root explorer shows something wrong with the sdcard, and sdcard-ext. The files inside the sdcard folder are those from my external sdcard, and vice-versa.
Maybe that is the problem, but I am don't know how to solve it.

Yes, you can move TWRP and the Titanium Backup folder to your SD card. TWRP has an option up at the top that tells you if you're on the SD card or internal storage. Once you move those folders to your SD card, simply toggle that setting to the SD card and it will use your SD for your backups.
As for Titanium Backup, you'll have to manually set your backup location; just open the preferences -> backup folder location and point that to your SD card.

Deleted folder

Internal Storage not mounting, External is mounting as Internal

I am unable to access Internal Storage. Yes, I have seen posts that Android One doesn't have Internal Storage for storing media. However, I was on CM13 nightlies from December, and there I was able to see internal storage. Once I moved to CM13 SNAPSHOT-2, I didn't saw any Internal Storage. I tried falshing SNAPSHOT-1, Stock multiple times, but no luck. Currently my sd card is mounted as *sdcard0* (/storage/571E-6003). And Internal Storage in not mounted at all.
While accessing it from TWRP, mounting Internal storage is available. It is of approx 2 GB. I am able access Internal and External on my Windows PC from TWRP. I formatted it and added files to flash CM13. All files are there in /data/media/0. However after booting I don't see this storage mounted. CM13 SNAPSHOT-2 apps (music, camera, file manager etc) crashes if booted without sd-card. Is this the expected behavior?
Is everything is fine with the device? Or Something is suspicious?

Internal SD Card missing

My V500 has somehow lost it's internal SD card, so can't do simple tasks like take a photo as it has nowhere to store it. I have done a factory reset and even a fresh ROM install, but it still can't see it.
It can see the external SD card OK, and OTG USB.
TWRP doesn't appear to have any functions to format or partition this, only wipe it.
How can I get internal SD space back?
My vk815 is pure stock, and it has a similar bug that the SD card is 'unexpectedly ejected' when it really hasn't been, nor even jostled. I've given up just about all hope, and use it sparingly, only for created file storage. No apps.
I'm referring to the internal SD card, the non-removable one.
I cannot see the following with a file explorer...
system/sdcard
mnt/sdcard
Programs install fine from Play Store, which uses the same SD, just different partition.
Fixed it by going into TWRP - Wipe - Format Data
