Trying to copy my modified camera apk into system/app folder with write access and displays the above error, no space available... any1 else experiencing this?
bootloader unlocked/Rooted.
I've got 1.7gb left of user space and i've deleted a few apps which doesn't make a difference, i've modded some files in system successfully gps.conf, media_profiles.xml.
I've never seen this before with a rooted phone, perhaps the root method has some issues.

Hey all, I'm a noob. But I got my NT pretty much where I want it to be. I realize now that the extra space is in the data file system (yeah, I can use the extra gigs). Now, my biggest problem is that my .cbz .cbr files do not have a default program or association. This is a problem because my root accessible comic readers will read to the data folder but when you open up the data folder it says nothing is there. At this point, I just need a comic app that links up .cbz .cbr s as the default program for those file types so that I can open the file from on of my file expolorer programs. Or I need to figure out a way that allows my rooted comic apps to actually go into the data folder. Why won't these programs look into the file system past data?
Now,
I did try the permanence method to link a usrdata file to the mnt/internal file, but while it creates the mnt/internal file it does not fill it in with my files...which sucks (I just folled the instructions and I think it may require the snowball mod). I do like the B&N reader for my epubs, so I don't want to use the snowball mod
And even in snowball could not work, in OP is posted that many apps can still be incompatible

tl;dr `rm -rf <directory>` returns "Directory not empty"
I noticed that the old folder for Google Currents [/storage/sdcard0/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.currents] kept showing up regardless of how many times I 'cleaned it' with the app SD Maid. ES File Explorer returns that it contains 7 folders and contains 0 bytes and cannot be deleted.
Instead of letting an app handle it, I just mounted my phone with go-mptfs and decided to `rm -rf` from there. That returns "Directory not empty". There's two folders each with the same amount of sub-folders with similar names. Both contain files that are registered as 4GB with crazy characters as their name [according to my file manager]. `ls -al` won't list anything in any of the directories, but it will spit out that it can't find anything.
`rm -rf` through adb shell spits out the same error as before and Windows Explorer shows the same files with 4GB sizes. Despite the files appearing to be deleted through a file manager they still appear on the phone.
I'm completely stumped here. The only idea I've come across that makes a little sense is fsck, but I'd like to hear other ideas before I venture into unknown territories.
Ideas?
I have had I think the same issue with fders in a few occasions. For a while what I was doing was just renaming them BAD. Since it would not let me delete them. I had the same kind of issues where something in the folder would just refuse to be deleted. I THINK some part of the file got corrupted between doing something on a windows machine and my phone.
After I had a few BAD, BAD1, Etc files I finally decided to back up all my WANTED/NEEDED files and apps or whatever I had on my sdcard (internal) to a PC. This took a while with almost the whole sdcard filled. Once it was done I was then able to go into recovery and format my sdcard (internal) via cwm recovery. Then I restored all my files/folders I wanted/needed back to phone. It is the ONLY WAY I was able to get rid of it. Hope this helps ya.

Thanks for the idea! I forgot about CWM's ability to format the storage it detects. I feel that may be the way I have to go, but I'd like someone to comment on the fsck idea first.

Hi… I also experiencing same problem like you.
Do you manage to delete those file without going through format feature via CWM Recovery?
You can also try the file manager from mrrobinson aroma.
It loads from recovery...so, could work.

Hey all, just wondering, when you access your dropbox folders and click on a file, I know it downloads it somewhere right? Is this a temp download that will delete itself or does it store the file you access somewhere locally on the platform, which case it could take up your storage space after awhile right? So just wondering if anyone knew anything about it and how it handles. Now that I am playing with Ouya, I am using dropbox alot to move files around to it and work on things, so I dont wanna clutter up the storage space heh.
No one knows? If its a temp file that deletes or if it takes up storage space?
[Q] Does anybody know how to get rid of ".thumbnails" folder and free up some space?
Hi everyone!
My device's internal memory is almost full because of a folder called ".thumbnails". This folder has eaten up some 4.7 gb of the memory. I have tried to delete it but all that happens after I delete this folder is that it only disappears for a short period of time and until it reappears, the memory still remains consumed. I have tried a number of ways like creating dummy folders and files, i have also used an app called thumbnail files deleter and some cleansing apps but all in vain. I had the same problem in Lollipop and I had always hoped that Sony or Android would solve this problem in the coming updates but after several updates, still no way. Any and every help is highly appreciated. Thank you.

Delete the folder and create a FILE with the same name.
Use ES file Explorer. Find the file and send it to your SD card or delete it.

Hello. I want to add some programs and files to the system/priv-app path. Unfortunately, there is not enough free space for this and it is not possible to copy or transfer the file. (there is about 60 megabytes of space). How can I increase this space?
Is it possible to increase this space by editing the ROM (editing system.new.dat.br) and flashing it? Or is it possible to edit the system image file ( with unpack it ) and move your desired programs into system/priv-app and pack the system image again and finally flash it?
Requires the apps that get moved to /system/priv-apps also to be entered in the admission list, otherwise moving doesn't make any sense, IMO

Where is the admission list and how do I edit it? By editing this file and adding programs, can it be flashed?
