Help Internal Storage Issue: 66GB Apps on 8GB?

A few days ago my photo altered me that it had not enough storage space (Samsung S3 Mini).

You can see from the screenshot that it thinks I have 66GB of Apps installed, which is clearly not the case!

The phone is running quite slowly and won't let me update / download any new apps.

I've cleared cache, restarted phone, removed and re-inserted SD card and nothing has fixed it.

Things I've done recently which may have affected it:
1. Connect the phone to a GoPro camera and use the GoPro App. I've since removed the GoPro App.
2. Deleted a whole bunch of videos and photos off the SD card and internal memory
3. Deleted thumbnails cache from SD card and replaced with dummy file

SD Card is reading correctly with:
Total Space: 14.70GB
Available Space: 7.96GB

Any help greatly appreciated. Please let me know if any more info needed.
