i went to upload some pictures i took to day so i went to my gallery and nothing was there except 2 pictures from picnic. i used to have like 200! Same for my music only 3 songs and they are all custom ones i got from an app. I know i didn't delete them because when i check my storage i only have 20mb left and i know for sure that all my music and pictures took up more then that:(

Have you tried mounting your device to inspect you SD card?

Wouldn't it make more sense to verify that the files are on the card and are readable than to just look at free space? Free space itself only tells you how much space is left. It doesn't tell you anything about the state of your media files.

If they're there then it could be a media scan issue (see post above mine or reboot to force a rescan).
