https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage try this app to see what's using your storage. if your rooted you can select to view files in the root. it's a very useful app to figure out what's eating your memory

Hi all, i know this will be an old subject but the truth is i had a Desire 2 yrs ago before i started to play around with rooting and flashing etc.
Now i own my second Desire and it is rooted, s-offed, clockworkmodded and flashed with cm7.1.
I have recently been looking at improving my internal storage space and from what i can gather there are a few ways to do such a thing.
The problem is they seem a little bit too complicated for me not to mention a bit risky.
I am wondering if anyone has a simple method that will give me more internal space.
My sd card is partitioned (8 gig total 1gig ext3) i just don't know where to go from here.
Here are some details of my device.....
CWMod 5.0.2.0
CM7.1 Android 2.3.7
HBOOT 6.93.1002
Please Help!!
UPDATE:
I have managed to gain a little more space on my internal storage.
I found an app in the market called A2SDGUI and it allowed me to move the Dalvik Cache to the sd ext resulting in my storage jumping from 44mb to 107mb.
However, i am still looking for an answer to using the sd ext partition for all my apps since i have 1gig of space available.
Looking forward to hearing from someone!

CM 7 doens't have APP2SD integrated, this is why all the apps are installed onto the internal memory.
If you install any custom rom on XDA with APP2SD (MIUI, leeDroid for instance), you won't have any space problems.
Don't need to do anything else beside flash the rom, since you already have partitioned your SD card.
Hi guys ,, i installed MIUI in my infuse 4g

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
P1113, JB 4.2.2 Stock Rom, CWM, rooted running and no obvious system problems.
My understanding is that there is supposed to be 4.5 gb or internal storage, or /storage/emulated/0. I have an actual 600mb of items on the internal storage space. I verified this by copying all the files/folders to pc and checking the size. Root Explorer reports same folder size for /data/media.
Settings->Storage indicates that I have 4.5 gb internal storage, 2.5 gb is free and there is 2 gb not accounted for. I should have 4 gb free? I reformatted /sdcard with CWM and still have only about 2.5 gb free and not 4.5.
2.5 gb of usable internal storage seems much to low. Flashing the rom with Odin did not change this problem. On a practical basis, I cannot install a GPS navigation app because it uses >2.5 gb.
What might the problem be? How to fix?
Is your phone storage 4gb or 8gv? As written on the box

The tablet is 8 gb and shows that in the Settings_Storage.
There must be a method or restoring the partitioning to stock, oob, sizes?
The data partition（store user-install apps and app's data） and internal SD partition(store User data like music,video,docs eg.) is ONE partition on Samsung GTab2 Tablets. So the "lost" 2G space which puzzled you are used to store the app and app's data.

Go to the /mnt/shell/emulated to look, you should have the root accounts to get the things or copy it.I hope it is helpful

With you and other's help here, I think I understand. The device is 8gb. 2 GB is for the operating system. Two GB is for apps and data. Then 4 gb remain for internal storage.
I would like to swap 4 gb storage with the 32 gb MicroSD card. I have been doing that prior to 4.2.2 running a script that changed mount points. That no longer works. I don't know how to edit fstab file that might work. In the meantime, I'll try to spend more time using the device instead of modifying it!
my xperia l is running on android 4.2.2 and its rooted. i have tried wipind data/cache, flashing the ftf but still my internal memory shows only 500 mb free space. what should i do ? when i go to settings>storage then it shows calculating and even if i wait for like an hour the storage info doesnt comes up. it just shows the storage i still have, what should i do to clean up my internal storage ?

Looks like there's some problem with your internal storage.
You need to wipe internal storage too. If your bootloader is unlocked, than should wipe everything using recovery.
This guide might help its about repartitioning!!!

So a couple months ago i downgraded from android nougat to CM 13 on my osprey 8GB variant, when I went into my storage section i see that it says that I only have 4GB of internal memory (TOTAL) So I quickly flashed another MM roms like MIUI rom or dirty unicorns to see if the problem was my memory and it still showed only half my storage, the only MM rom that displays my whole storage is Resurrection Remix and idk why (btw my memory works perfectly on any Nougat rom I flash but when I plug my phone into a PC it only shows 4GB, same thing happens with file explorers, they only show half the memory)
Could anyone help me solve this? thanks in advance

So you're saying Nougat shows 8GB in settings/storage? And file explorers in Nougat?

File explorers only show the space available to the user.
Explaining more elaborately, I'm using solid explorer. It shows internal storage as 4.54GB. This 4.54GB space consists of the internal storage and the /data partition.
The remaining space is used by the /system and other partitions.
So no matter which ROM you are on, all file explorers will only show 4.5GB storage. There is nothing wrong with the ROM or your phone.
Even though the box of the phone says it has 8GB storage, entire 8GB are not available to the user. About 3GB is required for the system and Android OS. If you check the 16GB variant, you'll see that file explorers will show around 12GB space.
