Total space says 12.05 and when I add up what it shows me in storage it adds up to 2 gb used
I also plugged in my phone to Computer and it added to the same and I didn't see any hidden folders
Did you flash a aosp rom lately?

Most likely you have double of the same space of your contents, might want to check all your folders and navigate to your 0 folder or your original touchwiz folder.

Make sure you have everything backed up... pics and stuff. Reboot into recovery, format data. I just had to do it, for the same reason. Just remember to format all. No need to reroot.

I was on 4.2 went back to 4.1 and restored back to 4.2 which left files on my internal SD. I can see them while in Clockwork back cannot access them any other way. IS their a way besides flashing 4.1 to get those files. I have a couple GB their of zip I want to delete and some pics.
From CWR I install zip from Internal I see folders 0, download, DCIM,an about 8 others.
Thanks

thanks, I was just having this exact same issue, but when flashing via TWRP. I normally have my flashing folder on the root of the SD, but once I flashed a 4.2.1 rom I couldn't find it in TWRP. kind of odd... but there it was in data/media. thanks!
Anyone know how to fix the multiple 0 problem? When I flash a 4.2 it naturally makes at least on 0 sub folder but sometime it gets corrupted and I end up with emulated/0/0 and it messes up the root of my internal sd. As such when I try to use titanium it cant find the files after a transition between asop and tw roms.
I would put all my flashing material on my external SD..and format your internal sd after doing all the standard wiping before a fresh install..

DOes anyone know what would happen if I deleted the 0 folder from my phones internal memory? It looks to be a copy of another folder I already have. Its taking up way too much room on the card.
What ROM are you running?

I just did this last night. Was going between a few 4.2.x/4.3 and 4.1.2 TW roms, and I was not liking my messy folder structure. Cleaned it up, and deleted the "0" folder. I backed it up on my pc beforehand, though. Always back up first, then try it. I had no adverse issues, but with everything, try at your own risk!
I went from 4.3 back to Beans 18 (4.1.2 TW), by the way.
I had the same issue but there was 0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0 folders in the internal SD. I backed up as much as I could (waze was making it error so I just deleted all the waze folders I could find) and formatted the internal SD. Got rid of a lot of my funky issues but I feel I have to odin back to stock and start from scratch just in case.

Just FYI This happens when going from 4.1.2 to 4.2. The reason fire this is because Google implemented a new feature Called Multi-User. Basically it allows more than one user profile for your phone or tablet (like on a PC). Because of this it makes a Folder on your SD card starting with "0" for each user. So basically if you are planning on just having one user on your device just take everything out of that "0" folder and move it to the root of your SD Card.

I don't understand what happened. The total space is now 12.05GB and I only have 478MB available.
The 12.05 is right. That's what a 16 GB hard drive is after a format. As for the low Available space how many Nandroids do u have,?

I don't have any on the internal storage. I'm so confused because I can't figure out where the space is coming from. I've moved all my pictures, backups, and downloads to the external SD card.
Time to nandroid, wipe, and clean install, then restore what you want from nandroid. (Any app that you don't need data for , don't restore it. imo
Check what it looks like after clean install and then again after restore. Apps like Play Store and others can have alot of stuff in cache folders, you might want to chech out something like all-in-one toolbox to clean you cache and see what it says. Good luck, I'm a flash-a-holic so I nand & wipe all the time. Last time I stayed on a rom for a week I cleaned cache and it was 3 or 4 gig.

Download es file manager and do the SD card analyze. That will show you what folders/files are eating up your space. It could just be a bug in the setup menu.

I ran the SD card analyzer and it came up with the same breakdown as the settings display. I wish I knew what was causing the problem but I never did find out. I had to do 2 more wipe/restores and the storage returned to normal.
Glad u finally got it right

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?

With a file manager go in to each folder of the zero move it out and when it says it's a duplicate there should be am option to merge the file storage and once you are done formatting again

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.

Hi all-
My GS3 internal storage is filling up. When I check with DiskUsage, it says there's 7230 MiB of "System data" and only 1250 MiB of free space. It won't let me click onto the system data to investigate.
Using Storage Analyser, it says I have used 2.2 GiBs and 9.84 GiB is free. But when I click on the little circle chart menu at the bottom it says I only have 1.2 GiBs free. What gives? Which one is right? Will wiping via CWM and reflashing CM 10.2 help? Anyone else have this problem? Thanks!
Do you have a lot of nandriod or Rom backups?

I only have this issue with the system/data folder filling up with duplicate apps. Seems like something just isn't quite right however. After I wipe everything and before I flash a rom I have 12gb available. Just checked and out of 16gb total I have 9.96gb still available. The backups shouldn't be on the internal but if by chance they are I would delete all if not most of them

You're simply having duplicate locations for media storage.
If you use a file Explorer, you'll notice the initial location of your files in data/media folder. Then if you click the 0 folder (data/media/0) you'll notice the exact same data is located there.
To get rid of it, you need to move everything you want to save off the phone, format the internal sd, reflash the rom, and move everything you backed up to the data/media/0 folder.
It switched when you moved from 4.1 to 4.3. It's actually reading the same data but twice. So you actually have a lot of space free, but your phone is reporting double the data.

Ok I'm having the same problem but im running astral and I was wondering will this work for me also. And how do . I go about formatting the internal sd? And why doesn't myn phone use my sd card at all to save files

I'm really sick of this problem. My phone is again alerting me that my internal storage is filling up, Disk Usage is showing system data of 7.266 GBs and 650 MB of free space. When going into the root folder "/system" it shows 10.36 GBs of free space. I figure its either getting read wrong of something.
Anyway, what would happen if I did "format /data" in CWM? Would I be able to boot back into my rom with a clean slate, or would I have to immediately flash a new ROM? Thanks.

You'd still be able to boot into the same rom. It might not clear it though, to do a full format you need to wipe /data/media.
