Hey,
I have a redmi note 3. Today I found that my system data was more than 20 GB.
I have tried wiping system, data, Dalvik and cache, but no success.
I'm ready to migrate to another rom because of bugs.
Thanks.
Can I have some screenshot?
Cuz unmodified system only cost 2.41gb, and shouldn't cost more than 4gb after bloatware installed.

Im sorry if this is such a nooby question but on some custom roms it recommends to wipe /system. What does this do? And what do you lose? When I usually go to another rom I wipe user data, cache, dalvik cache and battery stats. I never had any problems by doing so. In my case I never saw where to wipe /system I found out it was under mounts and storage in recovery a few days ago.

This is wrong....
The /system partiton is where Android itself gets stored. As in the system apps and framework. It is recommened to wipe it when changing to a *non-wipe* firmware just in case some files are different and get left over from the previous rom.

Thanks, that makes sense.
not wiping before installing a new rom usually results to bootloops.
i see to it i wipe before installing another rom (unless i'm installing a newer version of the existing rom)

As was posted earlier in the thread, wiping system basically wipes the rom/os and system settings. Your user data, apps, pictures will not be wiped. If you rebooted after wiping system the phone will not work, however you could wipe system then flash an update of the same rom and reboot and you should be fine(depending on the changes between rom versions). This is basically referred to as dirty flashing. FYI, most custom roms have a script which wipes system, cache and dalvik/art cache automatically preserving only /data(user apps and data)
Hi
Hopefully someone can help, as I am pulling my hair out :crying:
I have installed JB ROMS four times and updated Kernal to Phil however I still keep getting the same problems with my storage, not enough space etc for every ROM installed. I have updated the Kernal and performed factory reset, full wipe, format system, wipe cache, dalvik etc through recovery. However the phone still has the same user data each time, its like its not being deleted every time I install a new ROM. At the moment I can not sync gallery due to not enough space, download off line reading for the BBC, Guardian and the Current keeps crashing and other app thay requires data downloand.
The storage does not change no matter what and I can still see the same data files from the first install.
Is there an additional step I need to perform to completing wipe the phone internal ?
TIA

Have you tried to mount the partitions you want to wipe in CWM recovery before wiping?
Maybe that's the trick.
Just a guess.
Im on stock JB rom with philz kernel. Woke up today and got a notification saying my storage in full. The 2GB storage for apps only. I have not gone to play store to install stuff for some time alrdy and i am on this rom for 1mth alrdy. Cleared dalvik and cache partition as well. Havent try tried a format
if i format system partition and install a new rom build would i loose my apps and mods?? please help
Format system means every thing under /system will be wiped and formated. Yes you will loose system apps and rom.
However your sdcard internal and external will not be touched.
Usually to install a new rom you factory reset, format system, wipe cache and dalvik. Then flash the new rom.
Your apps can be downloaded from google play or titanium backup if you backed them up.

if you only format cache & dalvik: no
if you also format system: yes
actually, you will only use system apps (hence the name), all your normal apps from Play Store will be there. But that's called a "dirty" install, and it probably won't work if you're switching ROMs, you'll need to wipe the data partition, which contains all of your user apps.
Hello. I've tried to flash custom kernel and rom. I've faced some problems and decided to try again. I did wipe in TWRP (Dalvik, system, Data, cache). And later, when i tried to flash a rom it said that there are no enough free space. I've checked it in backup menu and it says that there are about 230MB on Internal Storage. Then i tried to do a complete wipe (like before but including Internal Storage). And now it says that there is 245MB of free space. Is there any ideas how i can fix it? Thanks.

Fixed it by installing stock recovery, then did a factory reset there and then everything became okay

You have to wipe system, data, internal storage, cache, dalvik cache and preload. If the size is 1gb that doesn't mean it's only going to take 1gb after you have flashed it.
I have the same issue..
