There is a ton of empty space in the system partitions. Is there a way to adjust the partitions and make use all that space?

i'm not sure, one thing i know is that you could add 16gb to your phone by upgrading that sdcard
*edit* they only run 20 dollars or so on ebay, i have one for my phone and ive never even had to worry about space for a second
*2ndedit* and you could still use that 16gb card to hold all your backups and custom roms etc
stock ics(liquid nitro)
looks more reasonable and the partition sizes are different(smaller /system larger /data)?
is this caused by different unbrick method/kdz?
interesting let me check mine and ill report back
too lazy for screenshot but here is mine:
cm10.0.0
/data 410mb / 1800mb
/system 373mb/ 826mb
/cache 75mb/ 315mb
personally i dont mind having extra space here , but i could see how some people would want to optimize theirs. cheers guys good luck.

Do you have apps installed? Do you have blur? I think that is normal

Have you ever bought an sd card or harddrive? They advertise higher capacities than what you get. system files take up space, and since they aren't meant to be touched, their space is blacked out

simply...
the defualt application itself....system apps rather
it would be 2gb... but, there nothing inside, (would only look like a 2gb sd card)
I just recently noticed that my HTC one m8 is taking way too much space on the other folder in STORAGE menu. I cant even click on the folder to see actually where its taking so much space,
I have an additional SD Card inserted with 16gb Memory. it shows perfectly but i really cant fathom it where it is taking so much space. so please help me out

Having a removable SD inserted has no bearing on what is shown for Phone Storage on this screen. It only refers to the built-in memory.
Is the phone modded? If so, and you have any ROM zips or especially nandroids, these take up tons of space.
Also, if you have apps that download extra data (games in particular) these also tend to take lots of storage.
But without any details about how you use your phone, its really impossible for someone else to tell you what this is.
Try using the following app to see what is taking up so much space:

The System partition on the 5X is too large and this is a problem for a 16GB phone. I use Panaroid Android and a small set of GApps, and because of this the system partition on my 5X has 1.8GB free.
How can I reclaim that unused space to the data partition? I noticed that TWRP has a "Resize Partition" feature, but it did nothing on my case.

You are probably better off just leaving that space as unused. EMMCs often start performing very poorly if you use up all the space because they need space to do wear leveling. On SSDs they recommend you leave 15% free. I don't know what they recommend on this EMMC, but on past phones when you get closer to full the phone becomes almost unusable.
As to your specific question, I think you'll need to edit the GPT partition table, which I believe exists in the first 512kb with the backup in the last 512kb
Hi, guys.
I was using the Pixel ROM for my N5X 32GB and everything was fine, but I missed being 100% stock. So yesterday I flashed the 7.1.1 Developer Preview 2 and everything seemed fine. I left my apps downloading overnight. I usually download all my Spotify library and that takes up about 8GB of my storage - which was NEVER a problem, I've always had at least 2GB free in the previous ROMs.
The thing is, when I woke up today, I had lots of notifications saying I ran out of storage and when I checked, system alone was taking almost 19GB of my storage!!! I guess that's not normal at all. What have I done wrong? Do I need to format any partition? I'm clueless.
thanks for your help.

As you can see in the screenshot below the OS Occupied size is 8.63 and internal storage or partition size of ext4 is just ~23gb, Very less for a device with 32gb storage.
So i dig into this problem and found that 8gb includes my TWRP backup i took a long back ago, Now i want to delete it but i can't find it. I tried for searching backups in TWRP but there's none i think TWRP looks in ext4 that is it only searches in 23gb, not 8gb.
I spent the whole night yesterday to fix it but no success. I want my ext4 partition to take the normal space that near about ~29-30gb and i want to delete that backup. I want my partitions to be as it was before (its fked up)

that size is pretty normal. lol. otherwise in twrp, tap on restore, there you can delete backups if any exist at all. Good Luck
