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!!!

What does it show when you do settings/storage ? That one is accurate for me.

Here are the complete details which shows about the memory :
In Task Manager it is showing : System Storage -> 10.24GB/11.87GB
From Settings > Storage :
Total Space : 11.77GB
Apps : 1.39GB
Pictures, videos : 213MB
Audio : 0.91 GB
Downloads : 20.01MB
Miss : 1.52 GB
Available : 1.52 GB
From settings > Application Manager :
Device memory : 10GB Used
1.7GB free
cache...
Not sure if you have already tried this... Use a good cache cleaner and check if something is taking up space in cache
Also are you using link2SD ? If yes let us know..
Connect the Tab to computer and check how much free space it shows in explorer...if it too shows 10GB used then definitely somewhere a big file is taking up space...
Last thing that comes to my mind is , install " SD Maid " and there is a option to list Top 50 Biggest size file...please check if that helps
any workaround?

thanks.

You know guys, I already found the answer to this and posted it for all to find. I cannot take credit for this, another fellow got irritated that his kid could not install games anymore, so he figured it out. The answer is not all that bad and is easy, and quick.
Use ClockworkMod ROM Manager to boot into recovery. Use the menu to format your internal SDCard. Reboot. You will loose all of your apps and have to start over, but your Google account will recover and put back everything in fairly short order. Mine completely restored itself in about ½ an hour. Sweet!
Losing all storage on the internal card is a very, very frustrating thing and it drove me nuts for longer than it should have. My girl was SO upset that I would lose all of her game progress that I could not update for a while until I used Titanium Backup to backup all the stuff on the tablet. Titanium Backup restored all of her game data so that she would not have to play Jewels Star from the beginning again, she already cleared all 3 major hard board and gained a bonus board of 100 more levels. Lose that and man I would be dead meat. Titanium put it all back, thank God. Another bad thing is the apps would not even update anymore, no room. Oh, baby is here now, time for bed.
Please, click the Thanks button if this post helps you! Night night everyone.
One question - is formatting internal SD safe? Won't it delete system or something? I don't need to flash rom or anything else after that?

'Internal SD' is a separate partition of the internal memory away from 'system' partition. So no worries that you will screw anything up by formatting internal SD.

I dont understand your question..but anyways
The internal storage i.e 754 mb is for all installed apps or space left for installing apps...

yes 754 mb is for all installed apps, so if i use all that space that means i can't install any apk right,
so all miro also have that kind partition, why its not go to 2gb partition when we install something

Team, I was really enjoying my cm10.2 and i was running out of space.. like 5gb total, maybe 1gb used per storage screen in settings and it says 1gb free.. on top of that it says im running out of space.. i did notice it is showing my sd card music and pictures being listed in the internal memory when in fact its on my sd card.. This seems to be chewing up 3gb+ i need for apps etc..
So I flashed cm11 m3, which i actually really like so far.. but its suffering from the same issue.. can someone help me repair this? googling it has not helped any.. ( ps i did factory wipe before flashing cm11 in recovery)

Check your application data usage in settings|apps, also check to see if you have any CWM made backups. That's often stored outside of the directory trees that android itself normally looks at (/data/media/clockworkmod) Also if it's saying your music and such is on your internal storage than it probably is. Check using a file manager, and manually move that stuff to your SD card.

You my friend are and android pimp! Thank you for your hardwork! I tried to do that on cm10.2 and for some reason could not find the directories.

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
Someone swapped External & Internal of my Xperia j for me & i formatted the phone from settings now i am getting this error of memory unmounted or unavailable everywhere ...opening album taking screenshots nothing works ...when i connect my phone to computer it shows only one 2 gb partition in which copying anything gives error ..I downloaded EsFileExplorer from playstore when i open it it gives SDcard unmounted. It shows my sdcard as 0 bytes & another partition of ext_sdcard as 2.01 gb which is my internal memory i guess because i am using 1 gb memory card.
I want my phone to be back to its initial state
Should i flash the stock ftf file??
I am attaching few screenshots to understand the problem better. :silly:

OK, now I can understand you clearly :good:
in such cases (system failures, system not booting or not functional...) you might have to re-flash stock ftf file for your device, this will reset your phone completely (note that all your installed apps will be lost) so it can begin a fresh start
so go ahead and flash the ftf file
good luck, and have fun :good: :highfive:
