I accidentally wiped my system through CWM. I finally got Santod's stock rom working on it and noticed I only had 25gb of storage available. I realize I never had the full 32gb but it was around 28gb available before. It's 25.00 too. A very even number which makes me think I have something partitioned off. Other was listed as having 10+ gigs in the storage app.

I even flash a AOSP ROM to check if it was just Sense - no go.

Sounds like you still have a backup hiding from you possibly.
With su permissions granted to ES File Explorer and System Mounted, you should be able to see them here:
/data/media/clockworkmod/backup/
If there is a backup in there, then that could be what's eating your extra space.
You can delete it, if you don't need it, otherwise, at least you know where the space went.

I feel kind of stupid now. You're right. My stock backup clocks in at 3.3gb. Makes sense (no pun intended) now that I think about it!

Weird, I too have noticed my storage space is at 25 gb according to es file explorer. I have deleted a twrp backup but no change. Any suggestions?
