Does anyone know how in the x terminal might do something to regain its internal memory.... so far everything I tried and I failed
It is maybe some file blocked my memory or some bug...is it some partition created i dont know??? I'm really despairing

As Rob1n suggested, df -h in terminal shows you the memory distribution across different partitions.
System or "rootfs" partition is only 227.9 Mb as it sits on a different memory chip. 58 Mb available on rootfs is actually not bad. It should be enough for all operations, except perhaps for a main system upgrade. See this thread for discussion on rootfs: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=33362
Your 32 Gb memory is allocated under /dev/mmcblk0p1, which is linked to /home/user/MyDocs. By default it's a fat32 partition available for all your documents, photos, videos, etc. It should not affect your system memory.
Another partition, which you should watch is 2Gb /dev/mmcblk0p2, linked to /home. As all applications from Extras are by default being installed in /home/opt, this 2 Gb may be eaten pretty quickly if you install too many of them. If this partition is full, I'd suggest to uninstall some rarely used applications.

If it's not showing the eMMC in the output from "df -h" then I'd suggest flashing the eMMC (http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware).
