I just flashed the new 4.2.1 leaked firmware FMB3 and all the files in my in internal storage has been moved to a folder called "0"
Is there any way to solve it?
it's the way 4.2 works
It's a feature of multi-user framework, so it's normal in 4.2 firmware

With 4.2 multi-user support there is now one internal storage folder per user for security. More information here (sorry, can't post links yet): android.stackexchange.com/questions/35541/why-did-sdcard-turn-into-sdcard-0-with-4-2
However, this should be transparent to all well-written apps. E.g. in File Expert the "SD Card" folder now points to /storage/emulated/0 for me. Apps should never relie on fixed paths e.g. /sdcard. See the Android Data storage documentation on this for more
I didn't have any problem with the apps. But when I reflashed the rom with odin, i got another folder called "0" inside the current one. So, each time I change the rom there's going to be a new 0 folder. Isn't that going to cause problems?

Right so I recently changed to Omega 44.4 and I'm loving it however I've noticed that it's changed to emulated... I didn't wipe the internal sdcard when changing from 4.1 everything seems fine in terms of working, but with a rooted explorer I can see the sdcard and contents with an additional folder /0/ that also has the sdcard contents. And also noticed the /legacy/ folder...
So what's changed? I'm presuming that I don't have the sdcard contents twice. I nice technical explanation would be nice
Soooo with 4.1 I used directory bind but it doesn't work now... what are my options?

that's the way 4.2 works, use search.
directory bind won't work, try rootSU's script from the dev section
Yep, thats just how google have made Android 4.2
Hello, just reinstalled rom, but i cant get access to my my previous sdcard file, and only shows the new ones sdcard0 ir sdcard/0, in CWM it shows my old sdcard files.
So what you mean is you upgraded to a 4.2 rom?

Use aroma file manager to move all your files into sdcard/0

using Aroma file Manager, wont help, still cant find the sdcard only sdcard0, i think i will just have to format my sdcard, it does show that it has taken space from my previous files, but still cant find these files
what should we do? same problem here! i can't hear songs or see pictures who are not in folder 0! how the **** whe change sdcard0 to sdcard? its driving me crazy!!
Android 4.2.x uses a different partitioning of some sort because of the Multiuser feature. All of your previous internal sd card data is in /data/media
Use a File Explorer with Root permissions to access this directory.

You need to get rid of cwm. It doesnt handle this well. Try Philz based on cwm as you can toggle between locations
So I was able to delete this before but I can't now and it's taking up hella space... I've tried searching to no avail so can anybody tell me how to delete the sdcard0 on my storage file???
So I guess it deleted everything all my pics and music and what not storage>sdcard0 still there... how/what do I do to set it back to normal before I start putting my pictures and music back???

sdcard0 is your mount point in the os for your internal storage it can not be removed, you can how ever format it in settings>storage. what rom are you using, are you talking about the 0 folder that sits in the sdcard area?
Yes I found that out the hard way HAHA I thought it was the one created when using an aosp or aokp ROM I'm running Viper DNA so just reformat it then? Just don't like that there are 2 files showing up with the same content in it one "SD card" and one in storage>SD card 0

instead of going through storage at root just go to sdcard and it wont show it as odd if you going to tell a program to save a file though it needs to have the 0. its just how 4.1.1 mounts it, if you had 4.2 you would have a 0 folder inside sdcard once you went back like i now do but am to lazy to delete cause theirs probably something ill need later in it. how many apps do you have since they are saved in same partition as the sdcard on our phones since we don't have removable storage. that's probably why your running out of room.
Thanks I don't have many under 100 I use to have crazy amount haha huh well I guess I never noticed it said sdcard0 cool thanks for responding

I'm still getting used to only having an internal sd. I always learned to wipe system, cache and dalvik. So after doing this and test driving a new rom I notice that internal sd was reset to default android folders and all my files were gone but on my PC my storage was still showing 7GB full. I poked around in the top level folder area and found all my stuff to be in data/media. Now I'm spending all this time moving 7GB of data back to /sdcard. Anyone know why this is happening? Is it TWRP or is it because I have an internal storage or something else?
Are you switching between Android 4.1 and 4.2 roms? They have different file structures
If you flash a 4.2 Rom everything will be in the /0/ folder

I went from viper to slimbean. So that would be 4.1.1 to 4.2.2. So to answer your question yes I jumped versions but any idea why sd contents went to /data/media? I may try another test flash to see if it doesn't on a different recovery or different version of TWRP

Your sdcard contents have always been viewable in data/media.
Nothing has changed except some stuff is within a /0/ directory.

Maybe so, however as I stated before my /sdcard contents aka my internal storage everything viewable through any basic file explorer was not present which in turn means TWRP saw nothing in my /sdcard. There was only the stock android folders that were all empty after the flash (notifications, alarms,pictures, etc.) A normal wipe and flash has never produced these results. I know about the /0 folder issue but this was different since that issue creates a /0 within /sdcard. There wasn't a /0 folder in /sdcard so that issue doesn't apply to my scenario.
So I saw that I had an SDcard0 file and an SDcard file. I deleted the SDcard0 file and it deleted everything on my SD card....how screwed am I? :/

If you have a backup made, your fine. If not, its lost.
Don't delete system folders unless you know what you're doing.

On a scale to one to ten? About a 8.
If you have rooted your phone, you can get an undelete app (like Fahrbot's Undelete for Root Users on the Market) and recover the folder... hopefully. There's a chance it won't catch the files or whatever. If you're not rooted, I don't think it would be possible to get them back, but I may be wrong (check Google, they may know).
In case you were wondering why this happened, I'll tell you. Android is based on Linux. Linux has these links to files/folders called symlinks. Now, for whatever reason it is, Android has multiply links to the sdcard (probably to help with compatibility). So while they may look like two different folders, they lead to the same place. Think of it as two doors to the same house.
Good luck!
If you are on a 4.2 ROM (One found in Original Development):
The SDcard0 and SDcard are all links to /Data/Media/0. Use a root browser to navigate here and see of your SD cards contents are here. I'm not sure if deleting a symlink will also delete its source, so you may still have the SDcard just not a way to access it without root permissions. If you can see your SD card in /data/media/0, PM me and I'll try to help you restore it. If you don't see anything here, or don't see your SD cards contents (before wipe), I'm sorry to say this but your pretty screwed.
