[Q] 2 Partition ?! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I had 4.1.2 stock rooted on my s3. then I saw paranoid android and wanted to try it out. So I installed it and it works nice.
I ended having 2 partition on my internal storge and cant do anything about it. From around 11GB i only have ~ 500MB left.
Also when i go into MIUI Explorer I can see that there are 2 partitions called " sd0 " and " ext sd0".
How do i delete any of them for a fully functional paranoid android with space left over for music etc. ?
I got Titanium backup from stock rom 4.1.2
also CWM + kTool ( recovery and EFS saved )

Thank you for the links, very kind !
i looked around by myself but i had no idea what i am actually searching for.
So now i understand why i have so less space.
I used 4.1.2 with many apps + lot of music , somehow it created me another
user called alias when i flashed 4.2
i just went to data/media and found all of my music etc. and that explains why i have 2 partitions now.
Someone pls tell me how to delete this alias and get my space back + removing this partition.

that's the way 4.2 works, you can't delete it. just move your old data to the new location.
or if you're back on 4.1, just delete like you normally would

Thanks for your reply !
because no one answered i was afraid and am downloading stock 4.1.2
Ok, if thats the way 4.2 works then i have to deal with it.
But there are now 2 partition is there a chance to get rid of that ? ( pic included )
Other thing is, can i delete everything under "data/media" this is the path for my old things like
apps, music, pics etc. ?

well, what you could do, if you are still rooted, backup your data & apps etc. with Titanium, copy the backups to your external sd and format your system & internal sd. That way you would start from scratch and you could flash a 4.2 rom. or you go into each folder and manually remove the once that are not necessary or double.

what makes me wonder is that i dont have any extern sd cards.
i dont understand why there is this partition anyway, cause i only got my 16GB internal storage.
but then again, cant i simply delete the whole media folder and save time going trough every singl folder ?

The answer was in Link 1, but you had to read the whole page.

Its not a partition. Its a different data structure.
It basically changes sdcard from data/media into data/media/0.
When you go to 4.2, Manually move everything excep obb and legacy into /0 (broswe to data/media with root explorer or any file manager with root permissions).
When you go back to 4.1.2, move it back in the same way. It's really easy
