I recently installed linux deploy and while it was making an image linux deploy got closed. now i have nearly 4 gigs of space missing and have done a full twrp wipe to no avail. the space is just gone... please help as with 16g internal storage 4 gigs is all i had to spare.
update after wiping with twrp and it still showing space was wrong i restored my backup anyways and after booting the space returned as it should be. still unclear as to why twrp would reflect the wrong space available after a complete wipe.

Preface:
My wife has the atrix HD. I lurked here for a bit, did safestrap and rom installs until BL unlock was relased then went that route with CWM. An issue I'm having now on her phone is the SD card is only recognized as having 5gb instead of 8. I reinstalled safestrap temporarily to see if I had an option of resizing the SD card but didn't seem so and then I was stuck in a boot loop. Reflashing a rom fixed that but I'm still stuck with the storage issue.
Any ideas? I thought about wiping the internal storage but there isn't an SD card so I'd be worried about trying to push files back over to flash a rom after that. Thanks.
You only have 5 because the stock ROM takes the rest try removing bloat and stuff or flashing an aosp ROM

I have custom rom installed (Carbon kk 1st Sep 2014), I only have 5gb of internal storage visible and out of that only 3gb user available on fresh install. How can I recover the remaining 3gb? i guess some other partition is taking up that extra 3gb but want to know how to recover it.
I found this post useful and claimed my 3gb back thanks @skeevydude u r d best

Hi everybody, this is my first post.
Please guys help me with this issue.
I've recently upgraded my moto g Xt1068 to cm13 Marshmallow and I'm pretty happy about the result.
Now let's go straight to the pain.
Small introduction:
in lollipop I used to keep a small partition (8gb of 64 total size of the SD card) as ext4 used by folderMount to store whatsapp media.
During the configuration of marshmallow the system asked me to use the SD card as Internal memory.
As there where two partitions marshmallow asked me separately for both of them to format them as Internal memory.
I tried to backup all of the data on my sd before doing everything, but for some bad coincidence I had no sd port my MacBook and marshmallow didn't seem to be willing to show any sd card partition when connected via USB.
So, in a moment of extreme silliness and confidence, I decided to apply the transformation to Internal memory to the small partition, trying to convince myself that marshmallow was evolved at the point that would be able to manage the two separated partitions.
I think you've already know how the story ends up.
After rebooting I realized my excess of confidence, and tried to restore the content of the SD with all of the recovery software I found in the Web.
No success.
The strange part is that usually it's so hard to permanently delete something from any memory support, and it usually takes very long time to do it.
In this situation my small and slow smartphone has been able to completely erase over 40gb of content in the time of a system reboot: and it sounds very strange to me.
Actually the slower and more stubborn recovery tool took about 24 hrs to complete the scan, and for the majority of the sectors (like 99% of them) it said they were unaccessible.
So maybe there is something that u guys know and I don't that the internalizing process does to prevent future access to the SD sectors, and, who knows, maybe that process can be undone or somehow bypassed.
Really need to restore the content of that bloody sd card: it contains 1 year of photos and videos of my one year old son :-/

I think you can use the app DISK DIGGER PRO. it can restore many type of files.
actually I would like to know from some developer what does he think about all this: what does the system do when you tell him to internalize an sd? does he actually destroy the whole content of the sd?
Yeah it does
The Phone reformat all the sd and because it changes the format all data is gone
So no app will be able to restore any of the data contained in the sd card?
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

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.
Hi,
I recently exchanged my old 64 GB Nexus 6 for a new/refurbished one due to a failed USB port. I installed the latest stock ROM, unlocked the bootloader, rooted, and used Titanium Backup to restore the data to a handful of apps. While doing this, I got a warning about my device being low on space. From research, I learned that I should've disabled Mount Namespace Separation in SuperSU. So now, no matter what I do, my system files are taking up 35 GB after doing a complete wipe with TWRP and reinstalling the stock ROM.
Is this a problem with the partition table? No matter what the issue is, does anyone know how to fix it? I'm not super experienced with rooting beyond basic tasks, so I'm struggling to come up with ideas.
Thanks!
Nevermind!
It looks like resizing the partitions in TWRP fixed my problem. Sorry for being a noob .
For future reference, don't flash userdata.img in the stock images if you want to avoid resizing partitions in TWRP. That image resizes internal storage to 32GB and ignores the remainder, leading to /system taking more space than it should.
