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)

that size is pretty normal. lol. otherwise in twrp, tap on restore, there you can delete backups if any exist at all. Good Luck

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.
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.
I just installed Beanstalk Release 6 on my HTC Desire and partitioned the SD-card with the mentioned partition guide. Everything works as it should except that I am not able to install apps on the SD-card.
For some reason the SD-card is not recognized by some parts of the system. In a file manager and under Device -> Storage the card is there just fine..

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
...but under Device -> Partition info and under Manage apps the card is either reported as not available or simply not there:
This somehow means that I am able to put content on the SD-card but I am not able to install apps on it. I have tried re-partitioning with both the size and file system the guide proposes and with other sizes and systems but with no luck. Anyone know how to fix this so I can install apps on the SD-card?
Thank you
Solved by installing release 7. This thread can be closed.
The System partition on the 5X is too large and this is a problem for a 16GB phone. I use Panaroid Android and a small set of GApps, and because of this the system partition on my 5X has 1.8GB free.
How can I reclaim that unused space to the data partition? I noticed that TWRP has a "Resize Partition" feature, but it did nothing on my case.

You are probably better off just leaving that space as unused. EMMCs often start performing very poorly if you use up all the space because they need space to do wear leveling. On SSDs they recommend you leave 15% free. I don't know what they recommend on this EMMC, but on past phones when you get closer to full the phone becomes almost unusable.
As to your specific question, I think you'll need to edit the GPT partition table, which I believe exists in the first 512kb with the backup in the last 512kb
Hi, guys.
I was using the Pixel ROM for my N5X 32GB and everything was fine, but I missed being 100% stock. So yesterday I flashed the 7.1.1 Developer Preview 2 and everything seemed fine. I left my apps downloading overnight. I usually download all my Spotify library and that takes up about 8GB of my storage - which was NEVER a problem, I've always had at least 2GB free in the previous ROMs.
The thing is, when I woke up today, I had lots of notifications saying I ran out of storage and when I checked, system alone was taking almost 19GB of my storage!!! I guess that's not normal at all. What have I done wrong? Do I need to format any partition? I'm clueless.
thanks for your help.
