Hi guys so basically I've been having this problem of not knowing what's taking up all my storage space on my samsung tab. It's not that bad of an issue but since I use this tablet to take notes during lectures, the space is very much needed.

}
When I click into the "Used Space" tab it tells me that apps are the biggest cause of the space deficit (about 5.55GB - the other categories in here take up very small space). However when I click on "Applications" within "Used Space", it shows me the image below. It doesn't really make sense as my biggest app is Evernote at 785mb. I have other apps also but surely they all don't add up to 5.55GB (there's only a few over 100mb the rest are fairly small).
I then thought the problem is with the "Miscellaneous Files" as it says that is taking up 4.81GB. Howeverthe image below shows this isn't the case.
So then I finally proceeded to use ES File Explorer to verify if there was 4.81GB being taken up. See the image below.
Fair enough the ES File Explorer seems to match up with Miscellaneous. But still, how can a 16GB file space be taken up when there isn't even 5.55GB worth of apps?
Can someone please help me with this as I really need this space to make my lecture notes. THANK YOU!

I have a 7 inch tablet from a unknown brand thit i got on ebay for 65$.... with android 4.0.4, I did it Root with super one click
Then the Titanium backup wrote that busy Box is not installed so I used the application "busy box installer" and installed the BusyBox with smart install.
Then when I turned the device back on, it suddenly lit up like a new device without any application and settings are reset when I tried to install applications, he wrote that the available memory is low (the device is Quite empty) when I look at settings \ Internal Storage, total space includes 0.00b.
If somone could please be abel to explain to me what happened, and / or how to fix it?
If it was $65... it's possible you used all the internal storage and that it's not empty, but totally full. It might report a larger storage size, but simply be re-writing over information or just ran out while installing.
i did a factory data reset
1.i did a factory data reset end it didn't help nothing
2.its not thit the memory is full it simply writes that all of my memory is 0.00b

This is what I have recently. Even if in my internal memory is over 400 MB.
Why is that?
File system corrupted?
What is the command to do it from terminal to check internal memory?
Step one, delete the TouchWiz virus from your phone. That should free up significant amounts of space.

How you know that I have some virus? I was going to say that strange windows pop up specially on xda forum itself.
My antyvirus found no problem.
How to remove it?
TouchWiz is Samsung's bloat-tastic tweaks to stock android. It's not a virus per se, just annoying (at least I think so). So basically, Nard's suggesting that you flash an alternate rom.

Ayee.. so nobody know how to check manually system files?
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.

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.

That is interesting to know. Thank you for the quick reply and link to relevant information - I'll go through it.
Good day to you
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.

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.
