the 6+gb are the system files..
If you have a nandroid backup or have backed up your apps using titanium, that would account for the space.

The advertised 16gb for the phone isnt quite correcy either. One of the reasons they gave us app 2 sd with me7.

the backups have always been to the sd card and iv checked like 5times to make sure i even wiped and cleaned everything and re installed to see if that fixed it..noting
+1. Completely clean you'll only have about 9 Gb. The rest is used by android.

/sdcard is an internal partition.

Using the app "Clean Master" I've noticed that I've lost almost 2GB of internal memory to the gallery thumbnail folder. If I remember correctly there's a way to rename the folder so it won't store the thumbnails. Gonna research it and see what I can come up with to regain that space.

well i only deleted the ones that had to do with the backup in the clockwordmod folder worked out perfectly but i cant speak for the rest id say copy those files you plan to delete onto the external sd card and then delete and reboot if you see any issues just copy paste them back and do another reboot. better safe then sorry
The only problem i have with deleting the backup i have in the mnt/shell/emulator/clockwordmod/backup folder is that it will also delete any nandroid i have.. but i did acquire 3+ gigs after doing so giving me 7.51 gigs of free space. The downside is w/o a nandroid, if something happens to my phone i'm screwed... Hahaha... Well the extra space looked cool while it lasted... Thanks

Use twrp, it's a lot easier to delete unwanted nandroids. No blob folders.

yea sure it's possible. will delete everything on your SD while on it though so I recommend to do a backup of SD contents first.

Hey guys, I was on a bunch of aosp roms and then jumped back to Beans when he came out with build 8. I always backup all my apps and data on titanium so when I finished flashing Beans 8, (the playstore pretty much loaded all my apps) I went to Titanium to restore data on one of my apps butTitanium said no backup for all my apps. Why no backups, whats going on here? Help a brudda out. Thanks.

Hi everybody!
I flashed CyanogenMod 10.1... It's a very nice ROM, but I have a big problem!
YES, I formatted my external SDcard to fat32!
When I want to go on my external SD storage, I must go to /storage/sdcard1 or something like that, and if I want to go to my internal storage, I must go to /.../legacy...
On Stock, there was it very easy; there were two options: sdcard0 and extSdCard....
Is this issue/bug fixable?
Oh yes, and I want to save my pictures and downloads on externalsd....
Has anyone an idea? )

Just FYI: this has nothing to do with CM 10.1 or stock.
This is related to Android 4.2.X vs. 4.1.X.
4.2.X supports multiuser, and that functionality requires this new way of structuring sdcard.
CM 10.1 is based on 4.2.2, so you end up with the new structure.
But also stock XXUFMB3 does the same.
It used to bother me at the beginning, but I got used to it.
If you do not like the new path, you can also point your applications to /data/media and you end up in your internal sdcard.
As soon as I flashed cm10.1 on my p769 and plugged the phone into my computer, I realized the internal storage is nowhere to be seen. Only the 16 gb SD card shows up. Also in my phone in Root Explorer, I try to find the internal storage but I still can't see it, as the directory /storage only give me a folder titled /sdcard0, which is actually my SD card In the storage settings my phone shows that it is using the internal storage for apps and whatnot.
