My internal storage shows full at 13GB but I can't see what is taking up all the space. How can I figure out what is taking up all the space? NS4G Rooted running ICS
The simplest way to find out what consumes most storage memory is to connect the phone to your workstation and then run tools such as Treesize which lists all directory sizes. Probably there is some folder with video or image material which consumes the space.

the Disk Usage app from the market works great. i recently found and freed over 3gb of wasted space from the android folder. it was app data from apps that i uninstalled long ago but persisted in that folder.

The NAND memory is 16gb, 1gb is used for /data, 488mb is used for /cache and 528mb is used for /system, the rest is your "SD card"

I have a 7 inch tablet from a unknown brand thit i got on ebay for 65$.... with android 4.0.4, I did it Root with super one click
Then the Titanium backup wrote that busy Box is not installed so I used the application "busy box installer" and installed the BusyBox with smart install.
Then when I turned the device back on, it suddenly lit up like a new device without any application and settings are reset when I tried to install applications, he wrote that the available memory is low (the device is Quite empty) when I look at settings \ Internal Storage, total space includes 0.00b.
If somone could please be abel to explain to me what happened, and / or how to fix it?
If it was $65... it's possible you used all the internal storage and that it's not empty, but totally full. It might report a larger storage size, but simply be re-writing over information or just ran out while installing.
i did a factory data reset
1.i did a factory data reset end it didn't help nothing
2.its not thit the memory is full it simply writes that all of my memory is 0.00b

All my pictures, Titanium Backups, etc are on this card, but I cannot find them. I flashed Liquid's ROM and did a factory reset, but for some reason it only backed up some old files in the 0 folder in my internal storage. That folder was actually one level down from the root-below the card's default storage spot, so not sure how it happened. When the OS loaded up and I saw everything was gone, I had a tiny heart attack. Couldn't find it with Solid Explorer, but saw that there was only 3GB of space left on the internal card, and this was a clean flash with literally no apps installed or data on the internal storage card. I knew my data must be somewhere on it! I remembered the app called Disk Usage that shows what's taking up space in your memory cards. I installed it and sure enough, there was a huge amount of data in a System folder. You can open the folders directly from the app, but I don't have the option with this folder (as seen in the screenshot, the SHOW option is greyed out). Can anyone help me? I know the stuff is there, just not sure how to get to it.

Found the answer in case anyone ever runs into this issue.
Please see these screenshots,

The used space is about 8.08GB and free space is about 4.48GB. But then in this screenshot the size of whole SDCARD folder is just 6.36GB.
So, what's using the extra 1.4 GB and where is it residing?
Extra notes:
1. Recently I had to factory reset my phone and lost everything on it, and after I added back my files from laptop the space reported was correct. No ghost usage.
2. The thumbnails files in DCIM folder got huge and I deleted them to recover nearly 1.5GB, but I'm not sure if that change actually shows up.
Please help with any insight. Also, does your SDCARD folder and storage usage show such differences?
Internal storage isn't just /sdcard. Its shared with /data so /data/app, /data/data is included.

That is interesting to know. Thank you for the quick reply and link to relevant information - I'll go through it.
Good day to you
My OPO has 3GB RAM and 64GB Internal storage. What i want to know is what is the size of the ROM storage location where the ROM is installed. Is it part of the internal storage (partition) or a separate storage space ?
Mostly all of the android 4+ devices use the part of internal storage to store the android system and system files,apps etc..
So, From 3GB to about 8GB of your internal memory will be ocuppied by the System...You will get almost 56-60GB of User Storage on a 64GB phone..

You should have anywhere between 54-57 of user memory

Hi All,
After update from lollipop to marshmallow I noticed huge drop in capacity of my internal memory.
Where should have been 16Gb minus system files I get only 3.8Gb.
Any thought appreciated.
Thank you

Is there any way to have internal memory formatted similar to sd card? Where it is possible to restore original size.
Now after a few apps I get the error with insufficient memory
Thank you

May be you should revert back to lollipop.
Or choose external SD as default storage
