AC Question

The other day, I noticed my phone's (Wileyfox Spark X) internal storage was nearly full. This was mostly due to all the music I have downloaded through spotify, which added up to about 5 gigs. I have a sdcard added, but this was formatted as internal storage and thus I could not have spotify save it's data there.
I decided to "solve" this problem by taking the data off the sdcard, (re)formatting it as portable storage and putting the data back on. Spotify then allowed me to use my sdcard for storage. Hurray! Problem solved!
Sadly, however, it wasn't hurray-worthy whatsoever. Right now, my internal storage is still saying it's nearly full, even though the stuff that's on there doesn't add up to nearly 10 gigs. Secondly, none of my photos are loading in my gallery. They are in my DCIM folder on my sdcard, and the thumbnails show up on the main folder of the gallery, but other than that it doesn't display anything. Even weirder: I downloaded a photo from gmail, which went to my downloads folder in internal storage, but when I tried to open this it also didn't show the photo.

Any ideas/suggestions/solutions?

Thanks a bunch in advance!!!!
