After installing programs on my S3, the folders are hidden on the internal sd card. Does ne1 know how to unhide all programs?
if you only want to show the hidden files in internal sd,open "My Files" then settings and check "Show hidden files".you should then be able to see the hidden files marked by a dot before the filename( .thumbnails).

one way...
using a registry editor (aka Total commander) go to :
Windows\Start Menu\Programs
hold down on you .lnk and click properties.
now click "shortcut" and you will see exactly where the .exe is located.
Have downloaded some videos onto the phone via kies but some of them have transferred badly. After an age of looking I have absolutely no idea how to delete them.
They don't appear in the files folder, you cannot tap and hold to delete, and there is no delete option on the video. Does anyone know how I can get rid of these videos.
Thanks
If you know the location open via My Files menu and delete .
Or use USB mass storage mode and delete via PC .
If you dont know the location check where Kies put them .
jje
Thanks
Gone into my files and there is nothing in there at all.
Cannot see anywhere on Kies to show me where it has put them
Gone into the USB mass storage mode when you plug into the PC and again you get the same folders as on the phone and all are blank
This is a major screw up by samsung if you can't just select a video and delete it as I am struggling here. Are there any apps out there to find these files?
I ran into the same problem yesterday and I couldn't figure it out!
I don't actually understand the 'file structure' on this phone. Where is everything stored?
When I connect my phone to the PC, I get two distinct drives, H: and F:
From what I can see the INTERNAL phone memory (which comes up as H: on the PC), is located at /mnt/sdcard.
What is the 'external_sd' folder that's located at /mnt/sdcard/external_sd actually for? It doesnt seem to correspond to the sdcard that's in the phone.
How to I access the sd card mamory from file manager within the phone?
I've tried looking for the videos I recorded using ES File Manager, but I cant find them anywhere...
Glad I am not alone with this one. Samsung need to sort it quick. At the moment I am wondering do you fill up the internal card and thats it because you cannot delete the videos?
external_sd is a link to whatever memory card you put in, it seems weird to me as well. In astro under tools - sd card usage this gives a treesize type view which might help track down your missing files.
downloaded astro file manager and done a search on the file name and has come upp with
/mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Camera/*****
**** being the file name
I then press and hold and on the menu that opens select show directory and there they all are. I then press the multi icon and was then allowed to select the file and delete it.
Thank goodness for that!!!!!!
Thanks for the help
In fact I now go into the files folder in the applications screens, then DCIM and now a camera folder is there with them all in. That was not there before but is now after installing and searching with Astro file manager

The sdcard/DCIM/Camera folder is where the pictures and videos taken with the camera go to, if it wasn't there before, I assume you've never taken a picture or recorded a video before.

These videos came from Kies and they were nowhere to be seen until I downloaded astro file manager. What is strange now is the DCIM folder says 0 as though it is empty but it is now full of these videos from Kies when you open it. All very strange and it only appeared after I did the search. before it there was nothing even in astro file manager.
I did take 2 photos the other day and again they have suddenly appeared in this folder

Thanks for that. That's what I thought, but the first time I tested it it didn't work, I just tried again and it worked just fine. I put a file onto the sdcard and it appeared in the external_sd folder.
One other question, /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard both seem to point to the internal memory. Is there a reason it's listed twice?

Hey guys and gals - i've read about the hidden files on the Evo 3d's SD card. Can anyone tell me exactly how to 'view' them in order to transfer everything to my new 32gb card coming soon please. I've searched and saw to go to tools and to view hidden content or files etc, yet when i go to tools on the drive i see nothing of the sort. Any and all help is appreciated
*when i look in the data folder the green hornet movie and all files associated w/ it are in there, so maybe the files are not hidden on my device for some reason? just a thought*

I'm on Windows XP so it might be different for you but what to do to view hidden folders/files within another drive/disk is:
-Start > My Computer, then select your drive (E:, F:, etc).
-Hit the tab at the top labeled Tools > Folder Options > then the tab that says View.
-Look for the box labeled 'Advance Settings' then make sure you click on the option that says 'Show hidden files and folders'. Then go back and see if the hidden folders appear. That should do it and I don't think the instructions can be too different across XP/7. Sorry if this doesn't help at all!
Thanks, i am a fairly new windows7 user coming from xp. Your instructions did help, in windows7 had to go to ORGANIZE->FOLDER & SEARCH OPTIONS->VIEW->SHOW HIDDEN FILES
Don't really notice much difference (didnt really know what to look for that was missing anyway LOL hope this makes changing to a 32gb card smoother!

Haha I feel you! I just moved to a 16 gig yesterday and had to do the same thing. Glad I could help.
another quick way is go to orb and in search type in folder options on windows 7 pops right up .
Can you help me? My files on SD card are not totally hidden. But whenever I check the properties to see how much amount my files consumed, there's a big difference.
Here's what I did. I open the SD card, select all files and check the properties, which is 1.9 gb in size, but 3.08 gb on size on disk. Another thing is that under computer where my SD card is in f: drive it says "25.5 gb free of 29.7 gb".. I am worried that my SD card have some important files which are hidden, but I don't know what to do. I want to reformat my SD card, but I want to make sure that I have backup all the files. Please help me!
My HD2 was flashed with Energy 29022 Sense CHT 2.0 rom 4 days ago. Everything is fine except that I noticed that the internal memory goes down daily. Right after flashing there's about 170 MB, and today there are only 40+ MB left. I have installed most programs in the external storage card, and more importantly, set all my programs to store data in the external starage card. However, obviously some program is storing data in the internal memory without me being aware of it. Can you please give me some hint where to look for those data storage folders in the internal memory? Or which program/app is the suspect? Thanks and Happy New Year!!!
Have you tried moving your Opera Cache Files to Storage Card?
Open Opera and type "opera:config" in the address bar. You'll then be in the config page. Find the section "User Prefs".
In there you should find something called "Cache Directory4". Just change that path to any directory in your storage card
(for example : "\Storage Card\OperaCache"). Scroll to bottom of page and hit Save.
This thing also happens to me... And I'm not using opera. But when I remove my sim and my sd card and turn the phone back up again the lost memory is recovered. Why is that?
Install the attached cab file, after installation open it go to menu> selection> select all> CLEAN.
Do it once a day at least.
there is an option for automatic cleaning by selecting certain folders , I think you can select three folders.
On another note, don't forget to select SD card option when installing programs or Cabs.
Edit : look for the attachment in the next post.
Hope this time the upload is successful.
Is it safe to do a "select all" clean? I read in some posts that it messed up winmo.

Sorry for taking so much time to reply.
Yes it is perfectly safe to Select All, I do it all the time.
i think SKTOOLS is best for removing all temp stuffs
Hi guys,
So I'm trying to symbolic link the cache of google music to my external SD, but the Cache file seems to be persisting even after I try to delete through Rom toolbox (root browser). I tried overriding the cache file through renaming my symbolic link short cut, but it just seems to end up INSIDE the cache file unchanged. Not sure how to test if this is actually working or not... Anyone properly get this set up to work on Verizon GS4?
I'm on ME7, rooted.

I've had this working on mine using the root browser in Rom Toolbox. This is what I did:
0. Open ROM Toolbox > Root Browser
1. Make a folder in your desired location (sdcard) called "Music" or something to that sort.
2. Tap and hold, select the option "Create Shortcut" at the bottom
3. Navigate to /data/data/com.google.android.music/
4. Paste (to create the shortcut)
5. Delete the "files" folder in this directory
6. Rename the shortcut to "files"
This will cache all music files and album art to the sd card location you choose. Items will still appear to be in the location on the internal storage, however if you watch the available space on your SD card and Internal Storage after caching a ton of music, you will notice only the SD Card is increasing despite the apparent presence on the internal storage location.
Interesting, it's "files" and not "Cache"? I didn't know that's the case, let me try it now.

So, when I try to delete the file "files", it isn't deleted at all. It just... stays there, so when I rename my file "Music" to "File", the file "Music" goes under the file named "file". It's a bit confusing, but the thing I'm curious about is that I cannot delete the file named "file" it seems, through the root browser.
