Recently I have been getting insufficient storage space warnings. When I look in the storage settings however, it looks like I'm 'missing' 4gb. What might be causing this?

Thats the System space!

Its what your ROM, Kernel and other OS stuff reside.
We get 12GB from a 16GB phone. That's how it is... :)

Just checked and the things reported add up to about 7.9 GB. I'm not sure if the Android Runtime cache (or Dalvik cache in older versions) is reported there, but that will use up space, too, and I think it is in the data partition.

CLEAR cache. AND If you have custom recovery then clear dalvik also.

Do it again after a reboot. If issue not solved then you have to backup your data and Factory reset.
