Have you read this >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/info-flashed-4-2-sdcard-data-t2274218 << if this is not your problem and all your internal sd card as been formatted then there is not much hope i have seen a few post's about file recovery apps/programs but not seen any good results from them..
No it isnt abt that my internal memory has been formatted completely

ok, i am seriously confused !! i did a factory / full wipe reset and after that i ONLY have 2gb available ??? how is that possible ???
anyone can help with this ? i am really confused here !!
PS: my photos are on my external SD
Using clockworkmod recovery????
EDIT : It only wipes apps and app data. It doesn't wipe the internal SD card.. only stock recovery wipes internal SD card.

Stock Samsung ROM's come with the stock recovery.. you'll get around 11.25 GB free I think.

I don't have the link to the stock recovery.. sorry..
You won't loose root as it doesn't wipe /system partition. All the system apps will be intact.

ok, root stayed, freed alll my mem !! now i have more than 11gb available !!
Wow. Noobs Galore here. You dont need the stock recovery. Even if you had it wiping data from it doesnt format your internal card. Fatory resetting (from any version of android) while booted up will clear all data and internal sd card.

......or just format your sd card
looks like my CWM backups were taking the space !!
for future, grab the app disk usage, great visual analysis of what is using storage

Dys66 is right
the path of internal storage has changed to /storage/emulated/0
however if you did a full wipe all saved data are gone
I did full wipe but I can see the files when the phone in recovery mode so the files didn't delete

just copy the files to your external SD an copy them back after you flashed the 4.2 ROM ...
the external SD should be untouched even with full wipe ...

First check that you are using the last CWM release... Older CWMs are not compatible with some new Roms...
I can't understand why you couldn't flash rom from your External SD card!
but at least you have odin, and you flash a new rom with it
So I accidently did a TWRP backup to internal storage. According to setting then storage I have 5gb of misc being used. But for the life of my I can't the backup to delete it. internal sd card then twrp only has a 7kb size file. I even went to twrp and cleared internal storage. under storage I still have 5gb plus of files using up my space. any suggestions?
anyone?

If you haven't renamed anything, it should simply be on the root of your internal sd card. Try searching for 'twrp' while you are on your internal with ES.

I have used root explorer and there is nothing on the internal card that is visible. the os still thinks I have 5gb of misc files there. but I find only a couple megs.

Are you on 4.1.2 or 4.3? And if you're on 4.3, did you wipe internal memory when upgrading?

Hmm, seems odd that a reformat of the internal sd card wouldn't take care of that. Personally I'd probably back up to external card and format internal again, possibly with a different recovery if twrp is still causing issues for you.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
if I click on the 5gb misc section only some folders with kb of info I just recleared internal storagr again. and it is still the same.
Pretty sure you're OK after looking at that. Miscellaneous files include all system and app data once uncompressed. Mine is also in the mid 5.5 gb range.
Edit: if anyone else wants to weigh in that would be helpful to get another person's sd card size for misc.

4.2 and forward see the internal memory differently than the old stock 4.1.
If you go to (system root)/data/media, you'll see the files you're looking for from the internal memory, plus a folder titled "0", which is what is NOW recognized as internal.
