I messed up my boot.img and had to totally revert to stock, but when I was preparing to flash my custom rom back with TWRP I ran out of space. This phone is a 32GB phone, which meant I usually got at least 20G in storage space, which is evident when I look at my last sdcard backup that takes exactly 20G. However, looking at the internal storage settings after resetting, it says I only have 16G of data, with 10G of that as usable sdcard data.
What the hell? How is it possible that the phone only thinks I have half the data? There isn't even a 16GB variant of this phone... :/ I'm very confused and I have no idea what to do. Please help.
EDIT
Okay, I solved the problem but I'll just edit this in case anyone else has the same issue. When I was flashing stock image with Odin I could use the CSC file (clean wipe) or the USERDATA file (keep files and apps). I selected USERDATA, but discovered it had erased my data and apps anyway. However what it seemed to have done was kept them on the device, just on a different partition or something, I don't know. But they were still there using up the space even though I had no access to them. So I reflashed the stock image and used CSC clean wipe, and now my phone is once again a 32GB phone lol.
