why does my 16gb android S4 running 5.0.1 .report 90.06gb for applications when I have 16.00gb total space and no mounted SD card?

I was having problems with 64 gb SD card so I removed it but I still get 90.06gb reported for applications

Also, when I select Settings > Accounts Google I get :"Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.

Sorry if a duplicate

Have you tried restarting the phone?

How about clearing the cache from recovery? Do you know to do that?

I found a procedure and ran it.  No change in the space reporting problem or the Settings has stopped.problem.

Note that other than reporting space problem I haven't noticed this causing other problems.

Also, I have a workaround for the Settings stopped problem.  I can get at the google settings from Gallery.

While I'd like to get these fixed I don't want to go thru a complete reinstall.

Have you been able to insert a different microsd card to see if that could show the correct info? Then take that card out.

I have tried a different card of the same size and another of different size as well as no card at all - same results.  I even restarted between cards.

You probably don't want to do this but you may have to do a factory reset.

Do you have a cloud storage account, like maybe Google Drive? Perhaps it's reporting the total to include your online storage.
