As the title states in unable to delete files from my internal memory. I'm not sure if it has to do with trying one of the aosp builds or what. I've checked permissions they are all set correctly and I'm stumped. Anyone else had this issue?

What rom are you running, file manager are you using, are you rooted, do you have recovery, what kernel do you have?
We can help once the additional info is provided.
Plus, this belongs in the Q&A forum.

Try using root explorer or es file manager, granting super user permissions (in es you'll see it on the left tab under the heading "root permissions" with an on/off button) and navigating to your internal. Try moving a file around, or creating a folder. See if you are prompted to mount your internal memory.
If your internal memory is write protected for some reason, you should be able to copy a file to your external storage or computer, but any write operations, including downloading pics from the Internet, downloads from the Play Store, all would fail).
Now try it with the built in file browser that came with the stock rom.
Report back.

I gave up and transferred my backup to the computer then used Odin to restore stock. I rooted and installed recovery again then restored my backup and all is good. I tried everything with ES File Explorer and still same thing. Thanks for the help

That was, unfortunately, the consensus solution. Glad you're back, but real pain it sounds.

So in my flashing craziness I forgot to use the sd downgrade when I went from an AOSP rom back to a 4.1.2 rom. Definitely a noob mistake that I will never make again.
Now my internal SD seems extremely cluttered with a 0 folder similar to the main one.
Is there a simple way to clean this up?
FWIW I did flash the new Beans 18 build then flash the downgrade earlier today, however I am currently on a restored backup of Beans 17.
I have considered flashing back to stock and then rooting again to make it all clean, but that won't take care of the unused and duplicate folders in my internal storage...right?!
Yes I am new here so please be kind! I spend a ton of time teaching myself and learning about rooting and customizing, but this is one thing I wanted a definite answer to before I end up deleting a crucial file or folder.

Easiest way would be to use a file explorer and copy/paste anything from /0 you want to keep over to the correct sdcard location. Then you can just delete the /0 folder.
Thanks for taking the time to answer. I was able to delete all but 2 sub folders under 0...the download and jelly beans folder refuse to delete. Not sure what that's about but at least I now have my internal in better shape!

Were you using an explorer like Root Explorer that you could get R/W privileges with? If not do that.

Reboot to TWRP, go to advanced to fix the permissions on those two folders and then delete it from there, worked for me.
I also found trouble deleting beans, but got it done from a pc. Different beans for different fiends.

I haven't used ES in a long long long time. If it will allow you full R/W privileges like Root Explorer you should be able to do it but I honestly don't know about ES because I use Root Explorer. Maybe the post about boring into recovery would work.

I was in the same boat as you buddy. I put everything I wanted from my internal memory to my sd card and went into TWRP and wiped the internal data(the one you have to type yes to continue) then wiped cache system and data and reflashed beans room and then used my backup from my sd card

^ This is the way to go. Just get rid of everything and start over. Although make sure to have the rom on your external sd so after you wipe internal you have the rom to flash. I do it when I get bored and want to clear out old app folders

If I needed to clear the internal, I would remove important files and then do an internal storage wipe on a clean Rom from twrp.
Current device:
Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Retired devices:
Huawei Ascend, Droid Charge, Droid Bionic
I used this wipe application called Zoot's wipe script, it has the Aroma wipe installer in it. This has several wiping variations but the big wipe is the Mega Wipe. Make sure you transfer all your important files to your external sd card because this Mega Wipe will wipe your internal memory clean to where you have 10gb free again. (For me on Verizon we only can get the 16gb gnote2, so after Touch Wiz sucks up the memory it needs you only have about 10gb free) Download this zip file and when you flash into recovery, I use TWRP, this can be used on Clock work too. flash this zip file and select Mega to clean out your internal sd. Super Wipe can be used to flash different roms too.

They started making those years ago and they just haven't stopped because people think they do more than just wiping in TWRP, which they don't.

CWM and was wiping everything via cwm and still all of the folders reappear! do i need to use TWRP???
The file manager for TWRP isn't reading my files. I moved all my roms to a different folder and deleted the old one they were in. However TWRP isn't recognizing any changes that have been made to any files or folders and it still shows the old folder but it is empty. How do I make it refresh or recognize any of the new files and folders in my phone? I have used the file manager i got when rooting my phone and es file explorer and the both are reading everything correctly. So how do I make TWRP start working correctly as well?
Where did you move the files from and to?

Roms are In the downloads, move them to the 0 folder and they will show up.. Use root explorer to move them when booted and flash them from the twrp
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
Well yea I had moved them from downloads to a folder where I had been putting all my roms and stuff. But even if I put them back in downloads twrp won't pick them up.
Alright so it isn't like updating anything. By that I mean it is showing stuff I deleted from my phone and isn't showing anything new I install
Edit: just read the 0 folder thing you said. Problem solved! Thanks a lot

I recently installed 64gig extSdCard. I have downloaded items to it (roms etc) I have checked to see if they a "really there" which they are. Problem is twrp doesn't show them for me to flash when I go into recovery
Thoughts....?

I just recently went through an issue with my sd card, even buying a new one. Ultimately what fixed it was a simple 'fix permissions' in TWRP. Don't wait until you have to go to CWM for 4.4, though. CWM took the fix permissions option out of their arsenal. Since you've got TWRP, would you try it, please and report back? I am at odds as to if it was what ultimately worked although that's what the evidence says.

Do you have the latest version of twrp?
Sorry, worth a shot.
The only other thing I got is (if you haven't already) format the card in the phone, try a new card, verify the files are correct format.
Other than that, try back to stock, reroot start totally fresh. Clean card and all.

Well if you just want the notification to install gone...long press on it in your notifications it will bring up "App info" then uncheck notifications. And you are good to go.

I believe it said it's ready to install but I got rid of the notification. I'm still trying to locate the file though.
Well if it said it was ready to be download would be why the file isn't there...I personally wouldn't worry about the file to much. If you ever flash a new ROM or move to nab you will more then likely be wiping internal storage and it should be fine at that time when you do. It will be erased.

Hi all Im looking for some assistance with this issue please.
My problem...
no write access to int. sd when I had it prior to installing a modded obb file. (I think)
I can not move any file or folder with any file manager
camera will not store pics to int sd or display any pics in the gallery
No app with a obb file will install from the play store and gives error code (911)
Flashing a stock lollipop tar fails in odin.
What I have tried....
I have restored different 4 back ups. (stock rooted lp. sacs darklord and norma)
I tried to flash lollipop tar in odin and it failed.
I ran a command with a terminal emulator said to fix my situation.
I am currently back on sacs darklord rom via a back up and I can write to int. sd with my laptop.
Idk what command you tried but this helped me in the past with that issue.

Try this go to the playstore and get Terminal Emulator. In Terminal type:

then grant supersu. Next line type:

It should do the trick it worked for me. And of course type in without brackets.

I know it sounds to basic but try it again and reboot after typing that again. I've had the issue since 5.0 came to our devices. If i tried to change roms i had to do it or if i changed rom base like cm or tw.
