So after trying a few roms, I've noticed the stock location of the external sdcard has been moved, but the old entry is still in the file tree. Is there an app that cleans all of that up?

Hi all,
I use TreeSize Mobile, a great little app, to monitor where my internal memory is being used. I've noticed there is quite a large file sitting in the Windows Directory called simply ''files''. What I want to know is are these files temp files that I can get rid of or does the system need these files?
My hunch is that they are system files but I just wanted to be sure.
I've attached a couple of pics showing this file. Pic2 is a selection of files within the main file.
i suspect that means there are files totalling 407 meg in teh windows folder, not one file of 407 meg, , followed by the sub folders and their size.
Open up the storage card tree (click the +) and see if that starts with 'Files xxxMB'

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thx for the reply.
You mention opening the storage card tree, the file i'm refering to is not on the storage card, it is in the windows directory. So i'm puzzled as to your answer.
because i think if you open the storage card (or indeed any other folder) you would see
storage card
[20mb] files
[150mb] DCIM
[2gb] music
[100mb] program files
the values and names are an example, the point i am making is that the top entry is showing you the total size of the files in the opened folder. so in your image it is telling you there are 400megabytes worth of files in the windows folder, not one file 400megabytes big.
using ES Explorer, I see the following:
1 - /phone icon - when opened contains about 15 folders starting with acct and ending with vendor, with another dozen or so individual (look like system) files
2 - /mnt/media -contains folders labeled Android, B&N Downloads, LOST.DIR, My Files) and a file called System.apk
3 - Two other folders labeled Downloads and Pictures (both presently empty)
Questions:
Is it correct that the /mnt/media is the 1GB space where my stuff is supposed to go? If so, why is there a B&N Downloads folder in there?
Is the /phone icon directory the 12 GB of space that was supposed to be just for B&N content? Can I use it to put my stuff now? I tried adding a few new folders with stuff but later found them gone??
I would appreciate anyone who can lay out in simple, straightforward language the who, what and where of the new space allocation/availability since rooting the NT. Is there any app that can show me the space by partition?
I looked around and cannot find the answer to this. I gave my Vibrant to a friend who takes a lot of pictures with it. He has downloaded a few different photo apps and some of them ended up filling the main system storage of the phone with photos. When I looked into it, some of the apps had placed the storage folder under the root directory and not in the Internal Storage or the External SD card. I looked in the apps and they do not have an option to move where the images are stored. The phone is running bionix-v-1.3.1 (just found it to be the most stable for my friend). One of the main apps that is doing this is FxCamera as the storage folder is at: /FxCamera.
So my question is, can I move this folder using symbolic links or another way? I attempted to make a symbolic link but it said I could not create it. I have a feeling I am not mounting correctly or have the wrong symbolic link. (or this just cannot be done). Maybe I should do it via a terminal window but not sure of the commands here as my Linux experience is somewhat limited.
One last note, what I would really like is to get all these photos moved into the DCIM folder on the SD so his Dropbox Upload will automatically upload them.
Thank you for any help!
So, just said above, while I was cleaning some folders I removed SDCARD folder (sdcard?? what f*king folder is???) from Android File Transfer and the I see at leat 11 Gb memory (before "cleaning" was 80 mb... 16gb sdcard)
Could be restored something? Im osx user.. sdcard memory is removed from phone fisically.
I got some aknowledges about disk image creation and some software recovery but I recovery only photos and video, but I need some others folders.
From phone I see all apps, but from ES File Manager, i see only few folders empty.. but with Android File Transfer, i see all folders but I cannot recovery anything (item not available at copy/paste).
Anything is appreciated.
Thanks
Is there a way to move files from one directory to another on the same external SD card without copying the file? Windows/OSX moves files with a simple directory change, but android always seems to copy. It wouldn't normally be an issue, but recently I've corrupted a few large video files when moving from one folder to another. Just wondering if there is a workaround?
