Hi all,
I recently, erased all data on my SD card (using the "Erase SD card" option in settings > storage). Once this had completed the total space went back up to 7.4GB but available space went to 0.00B! I've rebooted the phone, unmounted and re-mounted the SD card and still available space is set to 0!
What could I possibly be doing wrong?
Thanks,
Use a card reader and connect the SD Card to your computer, if it doesn't show up, use a partition tool to partition the SD Card, such as MiniTool Partition Wizard.

Thanks for the help. What an absolute ball ache though! Why is the "erase" option included if it's going to cause these issues? Would have been better off deleting each folder manually.
RESOLVED
I actually managed to resolve this by erasing from settings a couple more times :S
So my Pantech Burst P9070 is having issues. In clockwork mod recovery (cwm) it said my SD card couldn't mount so I tried formatting it. Well apparently I must have done something wrong during the formatting process because my SD card (internal) is no longer detectable by my phone or computer. My phone shows a notification saying that my SD card is damaged and needs to be formatted but when i press the button to format it, my phone says that the SD card is removed, but I do not even have an external SD card so I am confused. Please Help!!!:crying::crying:
Don't panic. If you are trying to use your sd card for songs, apps, photos etc, then just go into windows or any other partition manager, do a FULL wipe and make sure its FAT 32. If you also want to increase your internal storage visit my thread Hope this helps.
But how am I even suppose to use the windows or any other partition manager if my SD card isn't detected by my phone or computer?
Disk Management
Look in the Disk Management Tool in Windows Vista or above.
If you don't have that or it doesn't detect it you can download a disk partitioning tool to do the job.
It none of the tools work from Windows verify that the card is unmounted in Settings and try formatting it form Android.
Hey Guys,
My Phone is a Nexus S with CM-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-crespo. + CWM Recovery.
Today i have tried to partition my internal sd card, (the nexus s have only the internal sd Card), because i wanted to install the Link2SD app which need a ext4 partition to link the programfiles.
What i Did:
1. Connet the Phone via USB to Computer
2. Mount sd Card
3. Run Minitool Partition Wizard on Windows
4. Delete the Partition on the SD Card
5. Create a Partition, 13GB, Primary, FAT32 for media files
6. Create a Partition 1 GB, Primary ext4, for the programfiles.
7. Restarted the Phone
The Phone is still working, but i dont see the SD Card anymore on my Andorid device. I have also tried to Mount the sd card in the CWM. I tried to do a factory reset and checked the box "format sd card)
Did not work
Can you please help me? How could i restore the lost party of my internal sd card?
Thanks,
Magor

You have put your self in a major mess. You should have partitioned the SD card using CWM. Now you can try to partition SD card using CWM just forget the 1Gb partion that you lost.
I have been using a 4gb memory card out of which 3.6 was usable. One day, I connected it to my chromebook and transferred a few files and directly pulled the wire off forgetting about ejecting the device and turning the usb mass storage off. Then I opened the file manager it was showing total storage:447MB and availabel storage:447MB. pls help me with this problem.
Here you go
First point first - Backup your data
I assume that you have access to a Windows or a Linux desktop...
For Windows you will need Minitool Partition Wizard Free Version...
For Linux - GParted will do the job...
----------------------------------------------------------
For your specific problem, it appears to me that the primary partition of your SD card is accidentally shrunk...
So, Plug in your SD card
Open up Minitool Partition Wizard or GParted, find your SD card.....
... and if I am right, you can see 2 or more partition in your SD card
[Make sure you have backed up your data before proceeding]
1. Delete all of the partitions present in your SD card one by one (right click on the partition to find 'delete')
2. You will now end up with an unallocated space of size of your SD card.
3. Right click on that unallocated partition and Create
4. Make sure your new partition is Primary, NOT LOGICAL, and FileSystem = FAT32
5. Apply your changes, and your SD card will be showing it's full capacity.
Thank you I will try it out and let you know if it works
One reason may be that your sd card has some bad sectors due to which some part of the sd card may not be accessible or maybe there is some kind of virus in your sd card. Actually it happened with me also but in my case it was my pen drive and the reason was some of the sectors were not working properly and at last pen drive did'nt work at all....
If that is the reason wouldn't formatting the sd card work out.
NOTE: THIS WILL FORMAT YOUR ENTIRE SD CARD!! Unless you know any other ways to get your data back please let me know.
Requirements:
-SD Card Reader
-SD Card Adaptor if your reader dosent come with a microsd slot
- A PC
-EASUS Partion master which you can get from here http://www.easeus.com/partition-manager/epm-free.html
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Take out your microsd card from your phone and then put it into the sd card reader/slot on your pc (Use an adaptor if your pc dosent have one for microsd cards or something)
2. Install partition master.
3. Start it up and should see your sd card size and stuff,
4. If its unallocated right click it and make a partiton thats fat or fat32 or whatever format your sd card came with
5.If its not right click and format it.
6. Then once you do that click apply and it should do all the actions.
7. After a few minutes your SD card should be usable again.
