So I have searched and searched through my phone and I can't find what is taking up all my space. I"m on Nos M7 3.05, android 4.2.2. It created the sd card 0 which is fine but it's like there is some hidden files that are taking up so much space. I was on a older version of nos and did a back up. Flashed this and now I can't find my back up. Can anyone help me?

Well I looked there before, and yes it has my old stuff but nothing in there was taking up that much space. So it was data/media/emulated I deleted media which only had the emulated file there. It broke the rom i was on, but I fixed it with a adb sidload. So now it says I have ten gigs, I guess must have had an hidden back up in there or something.Still missing 5 gigs? I mean at least 3 taken up by the os right?
did you try to erase old backups in the clockworkmod folder?

What you deleted was a symlink to your /0 folder, so you basically deleted your sdcard as 4.2+ sees it, your 4.1 stuff may still be in /data/media. Not all file explorers show it correctly, solid does and I think maybe es might in root mode, otherwise a lot get confused by the symlinking and show your /0 not data/media.
If you don't have solid, there's a trial doe it, give it a try, or other root explorers, and see if you can see inside /data/media.

Ummm, not sure what this is but a file called AndroidMoviesClub.apk is residing in all my sd folders. I will remove them all but not sure what kinda suspicious stuff this is???
Only odd thing I've loaded is a few "S note and s mystory" related apps pulled from the International Note???
Same infiltration wiht my S Note
I too have been infected as of 5/18 with the same apk in multiple, high profile (including notifications) folders. going to need a snapshot of the device to determine when it came aboard and deduce from what.
it does populate itself in some key android permission folders too.
I Have it tooo...
on Saurom but I only found it in etc/vpl. Anyone know what it is? I Googled it and seems to be some sort of Movie Store but I don't want to install it.
I have this too. WTH is this?! Google search doesn't yield anything.
It's from mSpot....att bloatware.

I have this problem too... I put my sd card in my old Droid X and searched it and its on my sd card 633 times in all my files including music... So I scanned my sd with Norton and its clean of viruses but I can't find anywhere how this could've happened... Another weird thing is the size of all 633 of those apks are 0 bytes.. I'm deleting them... Now going to search my onboard memory...

VPL Folder is Bloat
There's a folder in system/etc/vpl that's just full of AT&T garbage relating to "for sale" services like movies... I just moved it to my external SD Card it using Root Explorer - no adverse issues. It did have AndroidMoviesClub.apk among the bloat.
AndroidMoviesClub.apk EVERYWHERE
I notice this file appearing on my device memory even before I root my Note (i717).
I removed some of it. Here is a screen shot I saved.

Good to know i am not the only one (well my mom's phone technically). I found these in almost in every sub folder on her External SD Card but none in the Internal Storage.

Have always had my stuff on SD card and now all the sudden looking throughout root explore none of them show
Just wonder what happened this happened this morning when revereted back to my daily driver

Did you have them on the external, which /sdcard is on aosp roms, which i can see you're using.
Or internal, which is now /emmc?
Simple mix up if you were on tw right before aosp
SOLVED. Inturnal nor no was on ics have been sense came out. Nor sure whats up but when I go to flash something its all there just can't find it with root explore. Which makes it hard to delete old stuff

Thanks for helping.
AFTER READING YOUR POST ON HELPING ME WITH "emmc" being possible . Looked and there they were
Thanks again this why we are here to help each other and make better devices
Not sure if you got what i was saying or not.
Internal sdcard is /emmc
So from where you are in that pic..go back to the parent folder, then go back again, then back once more, that should be the root directory.
From there you should see /emmc
That's your internal sdcard, you will be able to find your zips from here.
(This is a themed root explorer)
Root directory, see /emmc?

I recently flashed cm10.1 on my GS3 and now I've got all my internal storage stuck in the storage/emulated/0/android/obb or storage/emulated/legacy/android/obb locations. Under settings it shows total space 12.05gb, available is 668mb but less than 1/4 of the visual bar is full and accounted for. Sd maid is showing the obb folder is holding 11.39gb but no matter what explorers I use it always appears empty. Anyone know how to free up this spae? I can't find anything anywhere about this. Thank you ion advance.
Edit:
Restoring it doesn't free the space up at all. Even tried restoring my backups and the space remains full.

This is happening to me on my Nexus 4, no solution found yet
Same problem
I'm currently having this problem and used the SD Maid app and it says the exact same thing. Did anyone ever find a solution?
Only thing that worked was formatting the internal memory. A restore won't do it, must be a fill format. Feels great to have the space back.
that's because of the previous firmware's data saved on your phones. just perform a full emmc(only internal memory) wipe.

I just did what you said in your thread and it deleted everything on my internal SD Card...
Edit: Although I lost some stuff, it did fix my problem...

No it didn't. If you deleted eveything on your internal sdcard you did not do what I said in my thread
Can you provide me the link to it? I failed to find your solution in your signature....

Hey guys
So for a while now I've been having problems with my internal SD card being overly full and I can't figure out why. Here's a pic of it:

I have CWM installed and I know that takes a lot...but it seems as though it just seems to get more and more full even if I don't do anything. I'm using Camera JB+ to store pictures to my SD card, and all my music is also on my SD card, as well as my CWM backups.
Any ideas? I have tried clearing cache/dalvik after updating CM10.1 but it doesn't change much...
Thanks,
Elliott
What's that misc. over there? 9 GB of crap?
Looks like a bug, nothing in the cm thread?
Sent from the little guy
I have no idea what it is...I've used the "DiskUsage" app but it's majorly confusing...
Install a storage app that can show folder sizes like Folder Size Chart or Storage Analyser etc. Then you can find out what is taking up space.
if you are on cm10.1 nightly then remove viber & lucky patcher if installed.
you might flashed 20130121 nightly... this may help you
see this & this
if this didnt help you go to CM10.1 forum and search there. u will definitely find solution

Go into system/log and delete everything. I got back over 1.3 GB on the 2 GB SD partition.
Thanks but I don't have a system/log folder It's really full now to the point where it won't let me take pictures anymore...have been using 3rd party camera to save to external_sd...but I like the original camera.
I'm running mean bean 3.09. My phone says all of its storage is full and I can't figure it out. I hardly have any music or media files. I click on the "make more storage option" but don't see any solutions. Actually that makes it much more confusing. Does meanbean see file systems differently? Anyway to find out what is clogging up the phone? Maybe files are redundant in multiple places?

Are you using ota updater? Have you deleted all your downloaded ROM's? Have you used a file explorer to look thru your folders? Something is taking up space.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I have deleted the ota downloads and using file explore I don't see anything over a few mb in size. All the DCIM storage is on my external card.

Were you on any AOSP ROM's before? Have you done a wipe on your internal storage at all recently? Have you been doing dirty flashes? Have you been flashing a lot? Doing any restores?

I've only had that problem after flashing many AOSP ROM's and going back and forth from sense to AOSP. Just backup your files onto your external, wipe internal, move back, and then you should be fine. If not then you'll just have to do a clean install and wipe internal before flashing again. I did that with a restore with no issues.

Almost identical storage situation
Running the same MeanBean version, no AOSP ROMs, deleted OTAs, etc. When looking with Disk Usage type apps I'm still not finding what is taking up all the space. (I have plenty free on the external card.) Need to find what it is categorizing as "Other". Now I'm wondering about old email..
