Sooo i think i messed up. TWRP wouldn't decrypt my phone again so I just used fastboot to format userdata to get rid of encryption. Well everything went fine until I went to transfer my files back to my phone from my computer while I was in recovery before booting for the first time and I noticed it said 28.7 GB free of 29 GB, or something like that. Normally this is fine, except I have the 128GB 3T, not the 32 or 64GB. I booted my RR and went to storage settings and saw 35.29 used out if 64GB. Where's my other 64GB??!?!!!?! It seems like when I erased my data it deleted an entire storage slot.
I think it has to do with the virtual storage under the actual data partition getting messed up.
But doing a Qualcomm restore will reset it back to normal.

Thanks for the suggestion, I ended up playing around in TWRP and found a tab that switched the oartiok from f2fs to EXT4 and it gave me all the storage back

Hi all,
Just bought into the 32Gb Nexus 6 (i know, im a year late!) and coming from a 64Gb Oneplus One i'm trying to find more space!!!
Anyhows......before i setup the phone i flashed the latest Android 6.0, and was looking at the total storage space for the phone and it's 23.03Gb and just wanted to know if that's the right amount of storage space on a 32Gb Nexus 6. I know system, recovery and boot partitions can take a lot, but just wanted to make sure.
Can someone who owns a 32Gb Nexus 6 please look at the total storage space under 6.0 and tell me if i have the right amount?
If it isn't the right amount, is there a tool available that helps recover lost space?
Thanks
Ive got the same space available on my N6 64gb after flashing marshmallow, I had to install twrp and perform a factory reset, and that fixed it. But idk how much space should be available on a 32gb..

That sounds about right. After a clean flash of Marshmallow on my 64Gb Nexus 6 I only had ~54Gb free. The OS and everything else takes up around 10gigs.

I have 25.98 GB available on my 32 GB Nexus 6 with TWRP installed.
just wanted to say thanks for the help guys.....i'm now sitting on 25.98 Gb free which is a VAST improvement over the 23.03 Gb i was getting before!!!
gotta say that's a horrible bug that google have somehow caused, all by flashing Android 6.0 in what i thought was the right way.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
To FIX the missing space, all i did was go to a CMD prompt and run the following commands
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
fastboot reboot
Will have to start again installing apps and such, but getting an extra 3Gb of storage will help with the pain of a 32Gb Nexus 6!
You can use TWRP recovery and use wipe->advanced->data->repair or change filesystem->resize
And you will have back the original size.

Interesting, never noticed that before. Presumably that leaves all the file entries within the filesystem untouched?

I'm not sure what it does. I know that doing this I recovered my original storage capacity (from 23.03 to almost 26).
I didn't lost any data either.
factory reset from stock recovery also fixes the issue.
did not work for me, tried both methods, fastboot and twrp wipe, I still have 23.03 available. android version is 6.0 build MRA58K rooted
No need to wipe or install a custom recovery!!! All you have to do is boot the phone with another twrp, either with fastboot or using the NRT (this will keep your stock recovery) and do this:
You have an option that will preserve your data: use the new "resize partition" function within recovery.<br />
* Boot to TWRP (version 2.8.7.1 or higher)<br />
* Choose "Wipe" button (do not slide yet!!) then "Advanced Wipe" button.<br />
* Select the Data partition, then "Repair or Change File System" button.<br />
* Choose the Resize button.<br />
* Now you can slide to confirm, and it will expand the partition to it's full potential, without disturbing the data.

Same files have been automatically created in memory card by unknown app.
At first it was under "com.google.android.videos" . I had cleared using Windows PC as its was read only on Android.
Days ago now again they are found under "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox"
When I tried to delete them my whole sd card is now read only.
Are they viruses? And how to stop them from creating themselves?
This looks more like corrupted memory to me. And that whole read only thing reminds me of what happened with my /data partition when I flashed the AOSP Lollipop build, though that really shouldn't have happened if you're on stock. Try backing up with TiBu or whatever and formatting the /data partition (actually format, not just wipe) with TWRP, that fixed it for me. Or flash a stock Lollipop FTF with the Wipe Data option checked (same thing, I believe).

Really? But the screenshot says local...
In any case, it's much simpler then: either format it, or plug in your phone in mass storage mode (or use an SD card adapter) and run a chkdsk.

Probably means your SD card is damaged or something. Had a similar problem myself once, nothing I did would fix it, and I eventually had to replace it.

currently wich memory card are you using?
Hello!
I recently got a Oneplus 3T and I installed resurrection remix (7.1.1) on it, I first formatted the system to get rid of the encryption and I didn't really pay attention to my storage. Today I went into twrp to take a backup of everything and I noticed that I only have 11gb free whilst I barely have anything installed...
After taking a closer look in windows explorer it shows that my device only has 25gb of storage space instead of 64gb...
How do I fix this?
EDIT: the OS shows that I have 54gb of total space but that I'm using 47.14gb and most of it is used by "System" @ 30gb... wtf?
Thanks!
Format your data via TWRP. Should fix your issue with 30GB of storage.
Having 47GB of free storage after first boot is perfectly normal.
had this issue on op3, format data (not wipe) in twrp fixed it
Yesterday I flashed Resurrection Remix and since the device wwas encrypted I decrypted using Op3t toolkit and wiped all my data and I installed the zip again and I noticed this now.
My system is using more than 29gb space and I have only 25gb left in my device. I have nothing in my internal memory except 2 screenshots and barely 20 apps installed I need a solution for this asap. Thanks
I never encrypted my device. That **** is not good

The toolkit probably uses fastboot to format the data and fastboot can't do it properly for some reason. Wipe data with stock recovery or twrp
I think you might have made a backup, check that as well, and as stated clear cache

Even I'm facing the same problem....What am I supposed to do? Please help... Thankyou

i have the same issue what i did is after changing my file system from f2fs to ext 4 in recovery MTP i copied files of 10GB the backup i have taken previously after i flashed the rom and booted my that data was not visible to my but when i checked the storage it has taken 10GB of space under other in storage settings
Same issue
I encountered the same issue after decryption. Worse thing was that my original internal memory was reduced from 119 GB to 24 GB. Once I fixed the problem by flashing the full stock rom and it turns out that recovery was not replaced by the stock one and the storage is surprisingly decrypted as well. Currently, I tried the same method to get the missing storage back but it doesn't work any more since the cryption was forcingly done by the latest stock rom. I guess there's somewhere stuck in the mounting period or the format is recorgnized as system partion.

I'ts a summary of media filetypes
Other means, app configurations, game saves, dabatases, documents and other files that cannot be categorized as
apps (apk)
images (png, jpg, jpeg, tiff, bmp, raw, gif...)
videos (mkv, mp4, avi, mpeg, 3gp...)
audio (flac, ogg, mp3, wma...)
other contains, basically, things suck as .back .sql, pfc, doc, xml, and other unrecognized filetypes.
Hello there i have a op3t and every rom that i used besides OOS they're always taking up 32gb and higher storage ive tried liquid remix latest, dirty unicorn latest, skydragon latest (currently using) and skydragon takes up the least which is 32gb and someone said it is problem so if anyone can help please do OOS takes up around 5gb
Sounds like you have dead virtual storages lying around. This can happen if you switch between different ROMs. The solution is to erase entire data partition, this clears all those unlinked virtual storages. Also your can try just running a fsck on the data partition in TWRP just to make sure there's no problems with the file system.
