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

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.
i put a 32 gb micro card in the tab after loading about 2gb of music on it, it found the card then only recognized about ten files while either deleting or replacing the remaining files with numbered files that come up as unreadable format. i have placed a folder labeled no media but that seems not to work. even sent it back to viewsonic and they reset it to factory ( i did that also) sent it back and it stil does it . any suggestions would be appreciated. its a stock gtab no mods
This is a known issue on some mods, although I didn't know stock also suffered from this problem. You need to create a file named ".nomedia" and place it in either the root directory, or the directory where you store your media. Note that you cannot create this file in Windows. Mac or linux may be able to, but the easiest way is to use a file explorer like ES File explorer, which has the ability to create a file.
thanks for the tip
i will give it a try and let you know what happened,
nope not working
tried as you advised , made a .nomedia file reloaded the sd card put it in wanting the world and the same thing happened. all but a few files were left and then there were 20 to 30 numbered files where there used to be mp3 folders.plus if i select one of these files it says unable to open this file type
I have rooted my NT some time back and blocked BN updates (and downloads) to it.
Looking at the device, it still says I have 99% of the memory available (of those 15GB BN originally stole from me).
When I plug my NT into my computer, I see a MyNook drive but it only shows the 1GB available. Is there a way to use that other 15GB?
I've had the sam e problem and have not found a solution anywhere.
root NT first.
1,Copy the file into your SDcard.
2,make a new folder in the "data" folder by root explore.
3,copy the file into the new folder by root explore
4,link the new folder into the "mmt" folder.
then the other software can access the file in the NT memory.
but after reboot, you need re link the folder into mmt.
I've recently installed 4.2.2 on my Xperia Z (build number 10.3.A.0.423) stock with full root and dual recovery using NUT's instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2337433. Everything went fine and I'd been using it a few days until today when I noticed all the files/folders on my internal sd had been moved from 'emulated/0' to 'emulated/0/0', and a whole new set of folders had been created in 'emulated/0'. I decided to move all files and folders from /0/0 to /0 as this was where all new files were being stored since I installed the new firmware. Everything was still ok at this point. I then connected my phone to my Windows laptop and noticed that the folder 'sdcard/storage' was showing as literally empty in the file explorer. All my other files were visible in the /0 folder so I deleted the /storage folder (it was showing as empty). I then noticed that the location of the files on my phone did not correspond with where they were showing in Windows explorer (When I added a test file on my phone to 'emulated' it appeared in 'sdcard/0/legacy' (or something similar) in Windows - basically a right mess!). I then noticed I'd cleared my internal SD card completely, so rebooted to CWM to restore my backup from a few days ago. The backup should have been on the EXTERNAL SD but CWM was saying no backup found. So I then rebooted and noticed that both INTERNAL and EXTERNAL SD's were completely wiped, other than a few essential files that Android had added to the Internal. I talking GB's of photos, music, videos etc.
I know I'm not going to them all back but I just want to know what happened so I never do it again. Why did the file locations not correspond with Windows? Why did an 'empty' folder turn out to be the one with everything in? And why was my external SD (which held all my personal files!)wiped when at no point did I ever edit anything in this??
Very confused, I'd be grateful if anyone could shed some light on this....
I found I had over 7GB of junk files on my phone, this is not a nubia issue but an android OS one. There are other threads on this issue but I guess all Nubia users would be affected.
Here's how to check, have a look at how much space these Two directories are using:
Storage/sdcard0/dcim/.thumbnails
Storage/sdcard1/dcim/.thumbnails
(easiest way to do this is connect to pc and mount as storage drive and check through windows explorer)
If you want to reclaim this space then its easy. Must be rooted!
In your root file explorer, go to both directories delete the .thumbnails folders then create a new *file* called .thumbnails in the same directory. Reboot and your done. There is no impact gallery still works perfect!
