The used space is about 8.08GB and free space is about 4.48GB. But then in this screenshot the size of whole SDCARD folder is just 6.36GB.
So, what's using the extra 1.4 GB and where is it residing?
Extra notes:
1. Recently I had to factory reset my phone and lost everything on it, and after I added back my files from laptop the space reported was correct. No ghost usage.
2. The thumbnails files in DCIM folder got huge and I deleted them to recover nearly 1.5GB, but I'm not sure if that change actually shows up.
Please help with any insight. Also, does your SDCARD folder and storage usage show such differences?
Internal storage isn't just /sdcard. Its shared with /data so /data/app, /data/data is included.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is specifically a Nexus question or a general Android question but I have both a Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 and have observed the same behaviour on both
Basically what's happening is when I delete stuff from the SDcard the free space seems to be allocated to the system partition WTF?!
Take a look at the screenshots I'm going to try a couple of things - one of the suggested things was clearing the data in the Google Services Framework data >> Settings - Apps - All - Google Services Framework - Clear Data - which freed up some of it but not all, the next thing from here for me would be to flash the factory images again and see what I start out with
Both devices are on CM10.1 if that helps, is anyone else is having the same issue??

The discussion on Google+ http://goo.gl/lNyLW
Ok so this is my partition sizes now after flashing the factory images back onto my nexus 7. No where near 5GB anyone have any idea what's causing this?
Updated the main post with evidence that this isn't my imagination - something is moving the memory allocation to the system partition rather than the sdcard =/
Can someone help? I own a Nexus 5. I rooted it, flashed Android Paranoid on it and use Nova Launcher (for customization purposes).
The thing is, since I've flashed android paranoid ROM on it, i've simply lost 3gb of space!!
I have 4.8 gb of free space and 7.8 gb occupied. BUT when I search the folders in the computer or use any space management apps, despite it will tell me I have 7.8gb occupied, it only shows 4.4gb in files (like music, pictures, apps).
I mean, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE **** ARE THESE 3 GB! IT SIMPLY DISAPPEARED!! Also, I use nandroid and titanium backups. I thought it was nandroid's backup because it was about 2.8gb big, but the file simply isn't anywhere!!!
I know 3gb doesn't sound much, but it is 25% OF ALL MY NEXUS 5 USABLE MEMORY!!!
tl;dr : I can't find 3gb of occupied memory in my Nexus 5 with any app or computer.
Please, please, please, can someone help me???
Also, some screenshots to make it more clear.

SD Card Deep Cleaner
This is a great tool that helps to free up storage space by deep cleaning the redundant and residual files on the SD Card.
SD Card Deep Cleaner would thoroughly scan the device's SD Card and summarize files by 10 different categories.
You can easily clean the redundant and residual files on the SD Card to free up storage space.

Check it out from Play Store:good:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.makaylatech.sdcardcleaner
this really clean up your Android device
I'll ask the app was not running in background, at least, allow a method to disable it.
It has good features, but alerting each new file being downloaded and so on is really annoying.

Yeah, that's the recycle bin, it's things you deleted at some point, ES File Explorer has that feature to retain deleted data similar to PC so you can retrieve it if you accidently delete something. You probably had an app with a similar feature.

I don't like Google drive. I use mega. Never had any issues. But then again I'm firmly against Google having so much control over my device.
When you delete it goes to trash. Look carefully and locate it. Empty it
Yep, it's probably in trash and needs to be emptied. But this will be done automatically after one or two months, nonetheless.
Also, if you deleted really many files, it can take quite some time till all of them show up in trash.
maybe google drive's cache ，try to format cache
