When you tap on Misc it should show you what's in it and let you delete stuff

Odd that System Data would be listed under misc. storage. Did you have any kind of backups or rom files on your phone at the time of reset?

It would help if you could post your phone model and Android version as well.

The version says 5.0.2 and i think the model number is Lg-D415 (if that isnt what u wanted im sorry)

Yeah on my phone, system data isn't even listed.
I'm guessing your phone was advertised as having 8gb storage but that storage includes the operating system and system apps (3.91gb) (my 16gb phone only has 12gb available to use)
So in reality you only have around 4gb of usable storage

What Funky said.

Your phone is the LG Optimus L90 from T-Mobile. Spec's show internal 8 GB of storage, but as with most tech spec's you have to really understand the truth vs. the marketing. Sure it's got's 8 GB of storage (which is more likely 7.75 GB rounded up to the nearest whole GB) but that's the entire device, not just user storage. So you need room for the system, recovery, boot, cache and user data.

You can get a better picture of your internal storage with a simple app by our very own @scary alien and @EarlyMon called Storage Truth

Hey i have a question about my micro sd. It wont work either. How do i get it to work?

What do you mean by not working? You can't copy data to and from it? Does it error? What happens?

Ill move apps to sd card vut it doesnt show any sign of it being there.

 

[lunatic59]

You can't actually move apps to an external SD card since Android v. 4.3.

Oh xD well idk how to move images i tried and there wasnt an option to do so

 

[lunatic59]

To move images, you'll need a file manager like Astro or ES File Explorer. OR, you could get a different image management app like QuickPic. (sorry, in between PC's, can't link you to the play store on those.)
