Storage is counting internal files Twice taking up too much space



Anyone know how to fix this issue.
Build Number: LMY47X.G928PVPU2AOI6
Model Number: SM-G928P

/storage/emulated/0
/storage/emulated/legacy

They both contain the same files and are linked together. So if I erase something from one it is erased on the other. That's fine I understand they have the same files.

The issue is my phone is counting the space being used twice. Say I have 14 gb's of free space. Then I download a 2 gb file and I go from 14 gb to 10 gb free.

I also noticed that these 2 paths are linked and have the same files /storage/sdcard0 and /sdcard.

Now I've discovered that all 5 of these paths have the same files I have a Galaxy S6 so I only have internal memory.

/storage/emulated/0
/storage/emulated/legacy
/storage/sdcard0
/storage/sdcard
/mnt/sdcard

Please help it's bad enough I only have 25 gb of space to begin with. Having 12.5 is even worse.

/storage/emulated = 7 gb
/storage/emulated/0 = 3.5 gb
/storage/emulated/Legacy =3.5 gb

Shouldn't /storage/emulated = only say 3.5 gb?
