Sdcard storage problem. 900 Mb of invisible files? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone, I have an issue with my sdcard storage. I delete ALL the data, including files and folders of sdcard but it seems like 900 Mb are taken by some invisible files. I flashed CM11 with TWRP 2.6.3.3 again but the problem is still there. I formatted the internal storago with TWRP.
This can be for Google play music songs? I saved some albums on phone to use without internet conection before last flash of rom.
Sorry about my english. I hope you can help me. Greetings and thank you very much.
This captures are both with phone after flashed and nothing on SD.

It's nothing big. The OS reserves some space only for apps so it reflects on the computer.

I think the problem is with Google play music. I selected to download to device some music and then flashed the phone. I think all that rubish is music. Furthermore, I have problems with music reproduction, apollo and google play music, both goes really slow and usually the apps break. I think the problem is on ****ing google play music old files. I format the internal sdcard with TRWP but the files are still there! Facepalm... Please help :crying:

Is there any app which can show the running apps and the storage taken by some apps like Program Manager on PC?

I was just over at ppckitchen, and read about mxip_notify.vol growing out of control if you get a ton of email notifications. Check to see if you have any databases that are out of whack (use total commander and view hidden files). SK Tools is also helpful for clearing storage memory.
i found it in the end... it was some opera downloads that is whacks in its own folder...
took ages to find but used something called spacefinder plus that only has a trial until november..

God, it's really a big earthquake when people like me who have a phobia on serried objects see the pic in it. But-thank you very much for help and it's a nice and interesting app.

Total size of all files and folders less than space occupied

Hey I've used up around 6GB on my MotoG(including cache and all files and folders) but the settings>storage tab shows that I've used 8GBs and there's only 5 GB free(12.92 GB usable)
I've used several 3rd party apps to check this. Attached screenshot.
A factory reset did solve the problem but when I copied all files again, the same thing happened. Does anyone else have this problem? Please check.
To be precise, the difference was around 2GB before factory reset, now it's 1.7.

There are some folders that are not counted in to neither groups for some reason. If you move your files to "native" folders like Music, Movies, etc, then the counters will show the correct size. Not a big deal, but it's disturbing sometimes I agree.

No but the thing is that when I selected all folders and opened properties, using es explorer, the total size shown was 5.5gb as opposed to 7gb that it shows as occupied. There are no hidden folders. So where'd the space go?
oh I thought it's the other way around try 'df' command in terminal emulator

A picture says 1000 words
Can't put stuff on it, won't even let me write to my SD card, which it says has space.
Done hard reset - nothing
Note 4 clone MT6572
Any ideas?

SD card is fine, but upon further testing I think the phone storage is lying and is only very small
Do you have root? Some Samsung phones (I don't know if it applies to clones too) fill /data partition with log files (many MB every day). You could navigate to /data/log (or similar) and delete all *.log.gz, *.txt.gz
A handy tool to check where is space wasted is Disk Usage
Also note that some EMMC need reboot to update free space records, so phone may report memory is still full until you reboot.
Ok, thanks for the tips. I have root, and will try your suggestions when I get time.
I think so some phones show the phone memory is full because the app installation space is full it differ to media storage rom so plz go to setting and go to app settings and move the most of heavy app to sd card i think so it may help and try it once..............and doing it power off once and then on it

Internal memory bug

Hi guys,
I have this phone from my mother and it can't update any apps anymore. If I look at the storage tab I get the image attached. Is there any way to fix this? Although it says there is still 1GB available it says there is only 200MB available for apps. Is there any way to relocate the 1GB for apps? I moved all the apps that where possible to the SD card but still can't update. Is there any way to fix this?
Kind regards,
Bart

I had same problem. Go to the menu from where you move applications to SD Card. Choose the ones you use more often. like Internet browser, Social media apps, etc. Tap "Clear data" button to clear data. This way you free up some space.

One shows the total space without excluding the space taken by system. (The whole chip)
The other one shows the space, excluding the system space. (User Data)
It's pretty obvious, and there's no mistake about it. It's like delivering the answer in two different ways.

How do I get the whole system back on the one with just user data so both will show whole system chip storage.
Also I have been trying to get firmware to flash using QFIL do you have any ideas how I can get passed the PC only recognizing the device as only (Android Boot device ). It's not recognize to Port to flash the firmware package. Do you have any ideas or maybe anything I can try to maybe get the ports to for download mode?
thank you for your time and consideration and input.
