I just went to the storage tab on my phone and I noticed that my misc folder uses up 4gb of my storage, is there supposed to be that much in this folder? Are there any useful apps that assist with storage?

Whats in the folder? I don't even have a MISC folder. I think I might have had one at one point, with zero contents (0 kb) and just deleted it. But you obviously have something in there.
I think he's refering to what is labeled as "other" when you view settings - storage on your phone.

Can you see the contents of your SD card from a computer? Are you on a rooted device? Are you using a rom? Are you using a kernel? What version of CWM are you on, if you have it?

I can only see the files the system creates. I cannot view any of my personal files. No i am not rooted.

Sometimes it is the sdcard...if you have an android phone, can you see your files in the phone? You can try a different card or you can try to format that card in an android phone (saving your files elsewhere 1st, of course), or you can try to use a utility on your computer, I think it's a Panasonic formater (you could do a search on formating micro sdcards for use in the Xoom here in these fora).
Good luck!

Folder mount is your best bet. Search for it, or look in android/apps and games, or android/ software development,(i forget which) or even Google play. It is what i use, but it only allows you to link directories, its not the same as the swap script. I think i read that someone linked data/media, but i just use it to link downloads and a few large obb folders.

I have use folder mount but there is no change, can you explain how to use it?

What i did is
1 make a folder on my SD card where i wanted to link a folder from my internal memory to.
2. Open folder mount.
3. Press the + icon
4 pick a name for the link, to better manage it.
5. Select the folder from the internal SD card that you want to link as the source.
6 select the external folder you made in step one as the destination.
It will then ask you if you want to move the files over. I always say yes, other people move the files over first then do the above steps, up to you. After the files are done. Make sure the pin icon is clicked. Its either white or green, i forget. I moved all my obb folders over, and the apps still run.

I was looking through the folders to try and see which one was taking up all of my space, found the Samsung folder was at about 11 gigs but the three sub folders are nearly empty. The sub folders are just images, videos and music so I'm assuming that it's OK to delete this folder but unwanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something first. (everything I load besides apps goes onto my external SD card)

I just flashed cm 10.2 and I'm only showing 4gb internal memory with about .5gb avail. I don't know where my storage went either. Used SD analyst and it doesn't add up to 4gb. Wondering what happened to the other 4gb. Any ideas?

That happened to me too... The problem was that cm10.2 rom saves data to /sdcard not /sdcard0, so the files in /sdcard0 just stays there.... You can't delete the files inside because you can't access them. You need to flash the previous rom, and delete all files in /sdcard0, and reflash cm 10.2.
So does that mean a previous version of cm or whatever rom I had installed before cm10?

I think they are the same thing. Create a folder in in sdcard and you will see it in Sdcard0. Your 8gb of storage is 2gb for ROM, 2g apps and apps/data and 4gb storage.
thats weird
emm try to stay away from CM 10.2 , android 4.3 is not stable yet !
try CM 10.1 or a stable rom.. i advice you : slimrom build.8-OFFICIAL :good:
Currently on a TW rom, Jelly Beans 19. A couple months back I had flashed an aosp rom and of course got the "0" folder. After switching back to TW, the folder remained. I flashed the restore SD zip by itself, along with fresh rom install, and it didn't fix it. I also formatted internal storage as well as SD card. For a couple days it was fine and then behold, that stupid folder is there again. Only bad part is, anything I download I have to merge into that folder so recovery will recognize it. I've done the formatting/ wiping several times. Any thoughts?

I personally did it this way on the advice of the developer of synergy and worked flawless

the 0 folder is an emulated partition of the internal storage on your phone. i have one too. everyone does.
if you go into es file explorer, and go to the root of you phone, and then hit storage, you will see 3 options, "emulated", "sdcard1" and "0"
the "0" is a fake sd card. the internal storage is partitioned, in case something goes wrong you wont lose all your data.
i found this out the hard way lol forgot to back up and data wipe before flashing a rom once when i was half asleep, and you would think its all gone but no it was still all there. games, apps, contacts, the whole 9.

So I have two phones, a note 2 i317 and a skyrocket i727 running cm 10.2. I recently flashed cm and with that I went around to installing my apps. And after installing just a few apps, and I get the error, "insufficient storage available". I look in my storage section in settings and I discover two internal partitions, both labeled internal storage. One has 1.97GB available and one with 11.24 GB available. The apps seem to install only in the smaller of the two partitions. And in my manage apps section there is an option to move apps to SD card even though there is no SD card inserted. Of course all apps don't support SD card moving so this creates a problom. How do I remove one of these partitions so I can install more apps? View attachment 2323488View attachment 2323490

The 1.97GB is your total space on that internal storage. If the available space is only around 200-300MB then try deleting all the files in data, lost+found. You may need to enable root access for your file browser (I use ROM toolbox, root browser). There will be 1,000-7,000+ files in lost+found to delete, so be patient after clicking on lost+found while it generates. After selecting and deleting all, check your available storage. Should be around 1GB. Now your apps should be able to download and install
