It's not a good idea to mess with the internal partition; you could hard brick your device.
If you're on 5.0.2 or 5.1.1, then just move apps, pictures, videos, etc., to external storage.
If you're on 6.0, then format external storage as internal storage. Just make sure to back up any important files since everything on your external storage will be deleted.

Hi,
my internal storage is not showing correct size.
i have 2Gb of data on internal memory and it says 700Mb of free space instead of 1.8Gb
Does windows use this space ?? How can i use that space ?
Thanks
I assume you deleted some files (or so you might have thought) and these no longer show up somehow. I had this problem once. If you backup the stuff you want to keep and then use Pocket Mechanic to format your internal storage and then put back your backup stuff, you should find the storage size is now correct.
is it that if i delete a file through my PC (Disk mode) the phone doesnt know about it and assume it to be occupied.
will try it out if i dont find option other then formatting my internal memory.

Is there any way to repartition the size of rom?

You want to combine the internal storage and the usb storage into one storage space and the internal and external sd storage become just sd storage?

I would like to do this too, I know it is possible because my Motorola Xoom does this. I was surprised that the ICS update didn't reformat the internal storage to work this way.
The internal "/data" partition stores both application and "user" data and it is done by having a subfolder of the data partition mounted as the "internal sdcard" (/mnt/sdcard) by a special filesystem that strips all user permissions from the files.
That way as far as the OS is concerned all the data is on one unified partition so I could install 20G worth of apps if I liked, yet all the applications that download data or expect music to be on the sdcard have everything in the right place.
The extra sd card shows up as /mnt/external1

I have tried to do this by editing the "vold.fstab" file in the etc folder. However I have not been successful. I can only switch between the internal and external sdcard.
Each time I failed I have to recopy the original vold.fstab file before the Note working again if I am lucky. Most of the time I have to reflash the rom again. You can get some information from the following thread:

So I bricked my phone and ended up having to FXZ to the OTA JB update. Once I did I found that the internal memory just isnt there. There is still 4GB for the apps but no storage and backup will not work because it can not find internal storage. It also will not show up on my computer like normal. How do I get it to show back up?
thecodydavis was able to format his internal storage, after so many reboots, the phone ask him to reformat the storage space. And I believe reformat it will lose all the data in the storage, but you will have internal storage back.

I have the same problem except I need to recover the data. I am still trying to make an image of /dev/block/mmcblk1p26 (storage memory block) and hopefully data recovery tool works on the image.
Thanks! Pretty much what happened! Problem solved!
I can't use my storage because "other" is taking all my storage, I don't have many apps and almost all the folders in the main storage are empty, can someone help me?
get an SD Card and move the apps and extra data via Storage setztings or file browser to the external Storage
Your firmware need the 6,xx GB of Space, and why the hell you have 8gb stored (other) in internal ?

His question was what this "other" is, so your comment is pretty useless.
With "Other" are files, that your firmware dont know meant. for example obb-files of games, zip-files, backups and stuff like that

I just made a factory reset and unrooted the phone, I don't know what that "other files" were, but I went to 3 different file manager apps and all my internal storage was empty of heavy files, it was like a bad partition in the storage which I couldn't remove. Despite of solving the problem by myself thank you both.

Hi,
My cellphone seems to have the same behaviour.
In filemanager, only 560MB are reported, the phone itself claims that the 16GB internal storage is all but full. That with hardly any apps (facebook / spotify / and a few others) installed AND with all the photos videos and music stored on the SD card.
So how did you solve it ?

Hi, I just made a factory reset, and in the reboot I put internal storage as main storage, not the sdcard.

Check apps2sd https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd&hl=fi
You can link(move) apps to sd-card with it. You just need to partition your sdcard to FAT32(this partition will work like normal sd-card) and to ext4(this partition will be where apps are linked) partition.
Remember to backup sd-card to somewhere before partitioning.
Fat32 I understand but how I can formate to ext4?
