If you explore your /sdcard with a file manager, does it report the same amount of free space?

DONATE TO ME
I had this happen to me on both my nex7 and gnex, my solution to the issue was to go into clockwork recovery and format the sdcard, backup everything to a computer first though.

Yes it does. It's the same amount whether it's through the file explorer or the computer.

I deleted some apps and two nandroids but I still don't think the calculation is correct.

My issue was the backups. They were eating away my storage. I now keep only 2 nandroids.

Ok I found the solution.

Download storage analyzer from the store it shows what files and folders are taking away most of the space. I cleaned out 5 gigs this way. 2gbs was taken up by bug reports alone.

Doesn't that do the same thing as wiping cache from recovery? I do that often.
