Don't erase the folder, erase the contents, but I am sure you meant this.
Download ClearTemp_v1.3 and use that.
To free up more space to to File Explorer/My Device/Application Data/HTC/ HTC ALBUM, Delete the files in there, it should free ~200Kbs then go into 'Cache' and delete the contents, I did it yesterday and freed 20 megs or so. Hope this helps.
also empty
windows/opera9/profile/download
and
application data/volatile

You might not even have the folder. My Opera 9.7 doesn't have a Opera9/Profile/Download folder, and if it was on an SD card I wouldn't bother deleting it.

I think so to, i've searched through it all but i can't find anything to delete.
also clear the google maps cache......large files there.........and install new gmaps on SD and uninstall the old one that came with the phone.

Hi
Is there any way to schedule auto delete these unwanted folders/files.
Thanks
use something like cleartemp & use SK-schema to schedule it to run when required.
You may be able use mortscript or find other apps that will do what you want.

i know this seems like a dumb question but i want to make a album and put pics in there. how do i do this on my phone?
Use astro file manager. You are able to create a new directory (folder) and can move all of your pictures into it.
2nd option... Use za computa!

camera will place it in the default folder.... however, if you download a file manager and create a new folder on the sd card you should be able to move the files from one folder to another and then in the Gallery app it will appear as a separate folder or "gallery". Thats how I have been doing it on my android phones for awhile.
Hope that helps.

Use an app called SDRescan.. it'll rescan your SD card you and it should fix that.

This. Or go into settings-storage then select unmount sd card and then select mount sd card... That is usually what I do.
did both but still a no go...in astro. where exactly am i supposed to add the folder?
Press the menu button when you are on astro. You should see "create directory". I created a folder called media and placed it in the root of the SD card, then I created sub folders within the folder and placed my videos and pictures in there. Everything worked.
There are a lot of file managers out there.
I've always used AndroZip - they have a free and paid version - and still think it's easier than Astro.
I'm sure it's only because I'm used to it, but it's more "Windowsy" - long press to "right click" and you have a paste button that pops up when something is cut or copied.
The multi-select is easier (imo) than Astro's as well.
Not that downloading a billion different file managers will help, but if you're having trouble...
The only place you CANNOT make the folder...
Is inside ANY folder that has a hidden file in it called .nomedia
If you make a new folder in the root of the SD card, you should be fine. You'll still have to force the Gallery to udpate in order to see them though. Fail safe - power down completely, power back up (probably need to disable fastboot first to be 100% sure, but it should reload the SD card at boot either way).
YAHTZEEE!!!!!!

I take it you did it?
Very good
When adding things to your SD card, like the apk files for apps, I have just been dragging them right onto the card. Should I be making folders for them or anything like that?
I know sounds like a dumb question but i have to ask.
Depends on your level of OCD.
Seriously though, just make one folder at least so if you want to wipe your sdcard later you can just drag and drop one time

Level of OCD LOL
If i have installed a couple and didnt put them into a folder if i move them into a folder will it affect the operation of them???

if you dragged the apk onto the sdcard and then installed they are fine to move. in this case what you have saved is the installable application. the installed apk is now located in /data/app
hope this helps
Ok... So it goes like this.... You download an apk..... You go to the folder it sits in( diwnlaod folder on your SD card) you tap install.... This install the program into system/data/app
The original file you downloaded will still be in the download folder on your SD card.... If you don't plan on using this download to install the apk again, you can go into the download folder and delete the file... Once u have it installed you no longer need this file....
For safe keeping I actually upload all my downloaded apk files to my box.net account for future use.... And they don't take up space on my sdcard anymore....
All goes back to level of ocd, cause if you don't mind the clutter on your SD card your good to go, me I leave as much space open as possible... For roms, music, etc... Files I think I more important to me....

THANKS Hitman, i did just that. Ive removed the install apk, but i still have them in a folder on my HDD and external HDD
what the hell is this file (.thmbdata3) in sd card>dcim>thumbnails.each time i free some space on my sd card ,this file getting bigger and take all the space (sd card becomes full).i dont have that much photos on gallary,so what is the problem???
gt i9000
ics4.0.4dark knight rom 5.5
i added a screenshot to see in attachment
it looks like nobody knows what am i talking about .....i think im going to flash a new rom again
i also have 2 .thumbdata files of 200 MB each in my /DCIM/.thumbnail folder
maybe it`s a bug since i only have few pictures in my phone
Think thats bad!
Think that's bad. I have two thumbdata's both at 2gb each!
My partners Xperia S still had all her old thumbnails in her album even though she has deleted most of her pictures. So I googled how to remove them, the best solution I've found is go into settings, apps, all, media storage and erase the data. When I try to test it on mine the data is only a few mb. No where near 4gb!
Still I'll let you know if I find out.
its like an temp folder on windows,android makes an virtual protokoll from files and something,you can delete these file but its come back ever,i delete these file every day,because im addicted to flash,lol and i haved never problems.so delete it,its safe(my opinion).greeeeeetz
the best solution i found my self is: delete the big file thumbsdata and then never run the stock camera app,if you run it ,the file will be generated again consuming all your free space(me becomes 0 bites free :crying.......of coarse i cannot live without a camera app so i installed fx camera app.... it is good now but if i turn fx cam to video mod the problem comes again(it uses the stock camera app for video ,but not for photos),,,,,so i will not use video record option, until some hero comes with a fix
Yeah! That's it!

Just copy names of that files (thumbdataX--x), delete that files and other files in folder, then create folders named the same as deleted thumdatas. Reboot device. No annoying thumbdata3 (my spend 2Gb) anymore! And look in folders named LOST.DIR (you can find it in the root directory of your internal memory and your SDcard) - huge temporary files may be left in these folders, so delete these files.
Tested on Toshiba Thrive Tablet (ICS). No problems with gallery and camera apps.

new FOLDER with the same name as thumbdata-file
Untile now this works.i dont see any thumpsdata files.

Solution works!
In my opinion that file was related with pic preview directly from camera app, when you click on little thumbnail.
When I deleted it, camera stopped working and that thumbnail was blank until file was recreated, then it worked again (with 2GB pictures and a 2.74GB .thumbdata!)
Now creating the folder with the same name of file stopped that huge file from recreating himself.
I think camera now refers directly to thumbnail files (in thumbnails folder) for preview. Or, if not, that's the same because now I have 2.74GB more on my internal SD!
Yes this is a camer app problem(or bad feature:banghead: ) it takes space more than the photos itself....anyway this is the only way right now to fix it.

I have tried this but seem failed
I created the directory with a dot infront
and the folder seem to be fail to created
So I trying another method is using Root explorer
and change the permission to remove all write permission on that thumbdata file
Let see which one works
Hi!
This solution did work but the free memory in my sd card is almost the same as before. And moreover my stock gallery app cant be opened since it says free up some memory. I am using xperia z gallery as my substitute.

@einst31n Maybe there is another thing eating yor memory...try "folder size" for windows, it is a tool that arrange all folders in size and give you a statistic figure.

folder size does not arrange the files of portable devices i guess, since it didnt show my phone's files. only the hd files are shown

First you need to calm down, and give some more details of what happened and exactly what did you do for it to happen, what software do you use (e.g Root Explorer) etc..
/storage/sdcard0 is the mount point for internal strorage on the root file system, it is always there.
Are there any files inside /storage/sdcard0?

A couple of questions,
I used to use this app on the HTC One (M7),
-i was able to create folders and move files around
-also had an option on some websites including facebook to download via 'ES Downloader' when i clicked on a video.
now on the Z2
-creating folder and moving files around is not possible anymore, am using the 'File Commander' app that is preintalled to do so
i needed this function as the Z2 internal storage is just not enough, have to move media files to the SD card.
(have seen somewhere that KitKat has stopped this function on the ES app, this true?
-no option of the ES downloader to download videos anymore when i click on a video, it just goes straight to playback.
i'm not sure if its the KitKat thing, because my HTC One was on KitKat also when i was able to do all the above mentioned
and feedback is greatly appreciated
TIA
****Both devices are NOT rooted
You need to root to write on SD card with ES.
to clear things up
both the devices are factory without root
HTC probably did something to make it work. KitKat issue though. Only file commander seems to work like u said.

You need to edit the platform.xml file under system/etc/permissions/ in order for any "USER" app to edit the external SD card.

hope that clears it up for you.
Because i download quite a few videos, and those apps initially have the download content on the internal storage, being this phone only has 16GB, it's now such a pain
i'm no android system pro and really not confident in editing or changing any of the factory settings, i probably will just carry on and do the download then use the File Commander to move the content from internal to SD
