I'm running mean bean 3.09. My phone says all of its storage is full and I can't figure it out. I hardly have any music or media files. I click on the "make more storage option" but don't see any solutions. Actually that makes it much more confusing. Does meanbean see file systems differently? Anyway to find out what is clogging up the phone? Maybe files are redundant in multiple places?

Are you using ota updater? Have you deleted all your downloaded ROM's? Have you used a file explorer to look thru your folders? Something is taking up space.

I have deleted the ota downloads and using file explore I don't see anything over a few mb in size. All the DCIM storage is on my external card.

Were you on any AOSP ROM's before? Have you done a wipe on your internal storage at all recently? Have you been doing dirty flashes? Have you been flashing a lot? Doing any restores?

I've only had that problem after flashing many AOSP ROM's and going back and forth from sense to AOSP. Just backup your files onto your external, wipe internal, move back, and then you should be fine. If not then you'll just have to do a clean install and wipe internal before flashing again. I did that with a restore with no issues.

Almost identical storage situation
Running the same MeanBean version, no AOSP ROMs, deleted OTAs, etc. When looking with Disk Usage type apps I'm still not finding what is taking up all the space. (I have plenty free on the external card.) Need to find what it is categorizing as "Other". Now I'm wondering about old email..

Have always had my stuff on SD card and now all the sudden looking throughout root explore none of them show
Just wonder what happened this happened this morning when revereted back to my daily driver
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Did you have them on the external, which /sdcard is on aosp roms, which i can see you're using.
Or internal, which is now /emmc?
Simple mix up if you were on tw right before aosp
SOLVED. Inturnal nor no was on ics have been sense came out. Nor sure whats up but when I go to flash something its all there just can't find it with root explore. Which makes it hard to delete old stuff

Thanks for helping.
AFTER READING YOUR POST ON HELPING ME WITH "emmc" being possible . Looked and there they were
Thanks again this why we are here to help each other and make better devices
Not sure if you got what i was saying or not.
Internal sdcard is /emmc
So from where you are in that pic..go back to the parent folder, then go back again, then back once more, that should be the root directory.
From there you should see /emmc
That's your internal sdcard, you will be able to find your zips from here.
(This is a themed root explorer)
Root directory, see /emmc?

I recently flashed cm10.1 on my GS3 and now I've got all my internal storage stuck in the storage/emulated/0/android/obb or storage/emulated/legacy/android/obb locations. Under settings it shows total space 12.05gb, available is 668mb but less than 1/4 of the visual bar is full and accounted for. Sd maid is showing the obb folder is holding 11.39gb but no matter what explorers I use it always appears empty. Anyone know how to free up this spae? I can't find anything anywhere about this. Thank you ion advance.
Edit:
Restoring it doesn't free the space up at all. Even tried restoring my backups and the space remains full.

This is happening to me on my Nexus 4, no solution found yet
Same problem
I'm currently having this problem and used the SD Maid app and it says the exact same thing. Did anyone ever find a solution?
Only thing that worked was formatting the internal memory. A restore won't do it, must be a fill format. Feels great to have the space back.
that's because of the previous firmware's data saved on your phones. just perform a full emmc(only internal memory) wipe.
The answer is in my signature. No need to wipe anything

No it didn't. If you deleted eveything on your internal sdcard you did not do what I said in my thread
Can you provide me the link to it? I failed to find your solution in your signature....

I'm looking for a troubleshooting tip. My camera will snap a picture and the image appears in the gallery preview thumbnail in the camera app, but when I go to the gallery there is no trace of the image. What should I do to troubleshoot this? Everything appears to be working but the image is not saved.
I'm using Jelly Beans Build 10 ROM.
I'm sure you've done the obvious clearing data, permissions etc. If you use a file explorer are the images actually being saved?

Couple questions to ask.
1. Did you choose sd swap?
1b. If yes, when in camera app, does this show up? \/

I chose mostly default options. I didn't sd swap.
Which app should I clear? I've tried several including galeray and camera.
It will save to memory card, but not to phone.

did you stay with Beans stock kernel or go with one of the others? I currently am running no SD Swap and his stock kernel and just checked and can take photos that get saved to the internal memory card.
Just wondering if the other two kernels, since not built for our phone, might cause this. I never save photos to the internal card so never thought to look at this when running one of the other kerels.
Since this only happens when you try to save to the internal memory.
Edit*Should note for anyone else who reads my statement that the kernels are ported to work with our phone, but not written from our stock kernels source code.
Another idea. Have you tried to delete the DCIM folder on your internal and just let the camera make a new one with your first picture?

So I have searched and searched through my phone and I can't find what is taking up all my space. I"m on Nos M7 3.05, android 4.2.2. It created the sd card 0 which is fine but it's like there is some hidden files that are taking up so much space. I was on a older version of nos and did a back up. Flashed this and now I can't find my back up. Can anyone help me?

Well I looked there before, and yes it has my old stuff but nothing in there was taking up that much space. So it was data/media/emulated I deleted media which only had the emulated file there. It broke the rom i was on, but I fixed it with a adb sidload. So now it says I have ten gigs, I guess must have had an hidden back up in there or something.Still missing 5 gigs? I mean at least 3 taken up by the os right?
did you try to erase old backups in the clockworkmod folder?

What you deleted was a symlink to your /0 folder, so you basically deleted your sdcard as 4.2+ sees it, your 4.1 stuff may still be in /data/media. Not all file explorers show it correctly, solid does and I think maybe es might in root mode, otherwise a lot get confused by the symlinking and show your /0 not data/media.
If you don't have solid, there's a trial doe it, give it a try, or other root explorers, and see if you can see inside /data/media.

Hey guys. I've found most of my phones memory is taken up, but I can't work out what is filling it all up! Sure there's system requirements, and apps and cache. But after that there is 7.51gb for miscellaneous storage and I've only about 1.5gb free, yet when I click on it and see the list the totals only add up to about 2.5gb used. This about equals what I got using es file Explorer to add up the totals.
I have no idea what else is using up my memory. Does anyone else have a clue what to look at? I really don't wanna do a full system and SD card wipe and start again. Thanks for any advice

Did u just flashed a 4.2 or above rom from 4.1.2?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I'd been swapping roms for while, usually with a wipe data but not necessarily with a format of the sd card. Have been on justarchi's NA7 stock for about a month straight now, feels like I'm in FA (flashers anonymous )
Maybe I'm in a situation where I just need to wipe the buggery out of it, flash the rom I want again (been thinking of changing) and see what happens.
I'm not tech wizard, but it seems strange that I can't find what is taking up 5gb of space! There's no music or photo's on it, my Ti Backup is 1.57gb and then my rom file is 810mb. After that that biggest thing on there is 40mb.
