Hey guys, when I go into settings, and then storage, it says in USB storage that I have 3 GB free, but above it, about 1 GB of files combines are used, I have 2 Nandroid backups and a TB of all my apps. Anyone help as I want to install N.O.V.A 3 on my device, but not sure how to go about it as only have about 200 - 300 mb internal storage, any help would be appreciated.

Device has 16GB.
2GB dedicated to internal (phone)
14GB is recognized by the system as "SDCARD"
any micro SD card you insert is refer to as "external_SD"
Thanks ,, but how can i make the internal to be more than 2 GB ?? cuz it will be full after one week i will install more programs

You cannot. The system is design that way.
New programs are usually installed on the SDCARD.
Some system programs are installed on the internal when it boots up.
If you go to /setting/application/manage and list all programs, you have a list of programs that all installed.
touching each program will show where they are stored. If you want to move them, you can move to internal(phone) or USB(SDcard/external).
Programs that are installed internal or phone will boot up first. The more you have, the longer boot time.
Some application manager from market will let you choose where the app is installed.
^^ thanks ,, now i got the idea

What does it show when you do settings/storage ? That one is accurate for me.

Here are the complete details which shows about the memory :
In Task Manager it is showing : System Storage -> 10.24GB/11.87GB
From Settings > Storage :
Total Space : 11.77GB
Apps : 1.39GB
Pictures, videos : 213MB
Audio : 0.91 GB
Downloads : 20.01MB
Miss : 1.52 GB
Available : 1.52 GB
From settings > Application Manager :
Device memory : 10GB Used
1.7GB free
cache...
Not sure if you have already tried this... Use a good cache cleaner and check if something is taking up space in cache
Also are you using link2SD ? If yes let us know..
Connect the Tab to computer and check how much free space it shows in explorer...if it too shows 10GB used then definitely somewhere a big file is taking up space...
Last thing that comes to my mind is , install " SD Maid " and there is a option to list Top 50 Biggest size file...please check if that helps
any workaround?

Hi Dude,

Could you get the solution to this issue?
Would be great if you can share it.
thanks.

You know guys, I already found the answer to this and posted it for all to find. I cannot take credit for this, another fellow got irritated that his kid could not install games anymore, so he figured it out. The answer is not all that bad and is easy, and quick.
Use ClockworkMod ROM Manager to boot into recovery. Use the menu to format your internal SDCard. Reboot. You will loose all of your apps and have to start over, but your Google account will recover and put back everything in fairly short order. Mine completely restored itself in about ½ an hour. Sweet!
Losing all storage on the internal card is a very, very frustrating thing and it drove me nuts for longer than it should have. My girl was SO upset that I would lose all of her game progress that I could not update for a while until I used Titanium Backup to backup all the stuff on the tablet. Titanium Backup restored all of her game data so that she would not have to play Jewels Star from the beginning again, she already cleared all 3 major hard board and gained a bonus board of 100 more levels. Lose that and man I would be dead meat. Titanium put it all back, thank God. Another bad thing is the apps would not even update anymore, no room. Oh, baby is here now, time for bed.
Please, click the Thanks button if this post helps you! Night night everyone.
One question - is formatting internal SD safe? Won't it delete system or something? I don't need to flash rom or anything else after that?

'Internal SD' is a separate partition of the internal memory away from 'system' partition. So no worries that you will screw anything up by formatting internal SD.
Hi folks at XDA!
My name is Erich And I have a N7000 (first gen Galaxy Note).
I have it rooted and although it is a 16GB device, it is showing just 10.9 GB of internal memory when I plug it to the PC via USB.
But this is not the major problem. The major problem is that it is displaying full memory (2GB total) even after a factory reset and installing a just the super optimizer app.
I´ve tried to use odin with the 16GB .PIT file but it didn´t helped.
I´ve tried to format it to ext 4 with Phil-z CWM and I can´t boot it past CWM anymore. Later today, I´ll try to install the original ROM file from sammobile.
Can someone please help me mainly with the memory problem?
Thanks!
Does anyone have any ideas please?

go into settings > storage > normally you will get Internal phone storage at about 2 GB and Internal SD card at about 13.43 GB ( when it is having a 16 GB embedded SD card)
your 16 GB embedded SD card has many hidden partitions, so usable storage space will be reduced.
what you can do is copy all the contnts of your SD card to your PC and than format it by settings > storage> format to get back full space.
to learn more about storage look at My Storage ( link below)

Thanks man! This is what I get when I do as you told:
device memory
- total space: 1.97 GB
- apps: 402 MB
- Available space: 1.56 GB
USB Storage
- Total Space 11.08 GB
- Apps: 86.12 MB
- Images, videos: 1.53 MB
- Audio: 32 KB
- Other Files: 172 MB
- Available Space: 10.88 GB
Keep in mind that I did a factory reset this weekend and formated everything via PhilZ CWM.
The real problem with all this is that the avaiable ROM goes full with just few apps like Waze, WhatsApp, gApps and such. I used to install lots of apps with no problems, but now this space goes up real fast.
Anyway, I will play with it again after the format/ factory reset.
Thanks for the info. I´ll try to update the info as it goes.
And it happened again.
It was ok yesterday, with 1.5 GB free yesterday and today it is full. The last thing I've installed was any.do and any.do Cal. But those were about 5 days ago.
All the movable Apps are in the external SD
All pictures were deleted too.
All I've intalled is:
- Super optimizer;
- tinder
- swift key
- skype
- waze
- WhatsApp
Root apps:
- root checker
- Super User
- Super SU
- PhilZ CWM
So, again I ask again the good people at XDA:
Does anyone have any Idea of what's happening?
thanks in advance
I am still having this problem.
I can´t update any app because the ROM isn´t enough for the action. Can someone please help me?
What ROM are you using?, and also which recovery do you have?

USB storage is for your personal files such as photos, videos, music, etc.
Meanwhile the 2 GB system storage is for your apps, including data and cache.
You could "move to SD card" in Settings > Applications to free up some space, but that will make your apps slightly slower (to load).
I don't know about repartitioning but that could be a possibility too.
