I'm using a rooted device with root browser and need to delete certain residual files of an app.
The path is data/rallsd. I need to delete this entire rallsd folder together with the residual files inside,but unfortunately despite the system message shows that it was deleted,it actually failed to delete it.
I checked the permission of the rallsd folder and it was all ok.
I tried to move the entire rallsd folder to my external sd card to delete it. Unfortunately, instead of moving it, it was actually duplicated to the external sd card,despite that I actually clicked to move. However,surprisingly I am able to delete the rallsd folder that is duplicated to the external sd card.
What I want to ask now is,is there any apps or way to force delete the mentioned folder?

Somehow SD card is read only. I can't take pictures, delete files etc. Astro file manager says "Error deleting file" if I try to delete. Phone reads files but can't modify or delete. Can I remount SD card read-write mode using Terimnal Emulator? It seems that phone can't index files. Usually it took few minutes after reboot, now the phone shows indexin message for a moment and then dissapears.

can the pc read it when mounted on the phone?
is this a brand new sdcard?
try reformatting thru the pc...make sure it's fat32 and not ntfs.
Connected phone to computer and found corrupted folder LazyList on the SD. It was not possible to delete files from this folder. Fixed it with windows command line program chkdsk and removed corrupted files. Now it works fine.
Dear All
I can't update the apps that moved on SD card, but has no problem after moving back to phone ? Anyone know the solution ? Thanks
I had the same problem. I was able to resolve the problem by mounting my phone to USB. Then delete the file smdl2tmp1.asec in the /sdcard/.android_secure/ directory.
After deleting the file from the sdcard, I was able to install all apps again
you can do two thgs.
1:delete the file smdl2tmp1.asec in the /sdcard/.android_secure/ directory wt he said if not
2:you may try this, go to setting and choose save to phone instead of sd card. this may allow updates.

i can't find the .android_secure folder. does my phone need to be rooted?
finally!
After reading through a million posts and blogs and pulling out my hair, it was the smdl2tmp1.asec causing all my problems!!! Thanks for the post! Of the hundreds I've read, this is the first reference to the right thing.
any other ideas?
I'm having the same problem. That directory on my phone says it's empty. Yet
, I still can't update apps on the SD card. Any other ideas?
Another path
My .android_secure folder was also empty but other sources said there's another folder to look,
./mnt/secure/asec/
this folder requires root access and using root explorer
How to delete the wallpaper file permently. The file .thumbnails keeps coming back, loads to my sd card and shows up with my pictures in the grid. I deleted it from my sd and my nook by deticking all boxes in prefernces and deleted the file. Then when I did a reboot there they were again. I would like to get them gone !!!!!!
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but if there's a specific folder you do not want to appear in your gallery, you can stop it from showing up by adding a file called ".nomedia" (no quotes) to the folder.
I found the .nomedia file and tried to get the thumbs put in it they won't go, but I got the .nomedia put in the .thumbnails file and then deleted them, don't know if this will work??????? I don't have the wallpaper in my media now so I'll just wait and see. I'm not to savy on this stuff. thank you for the hint.
Well I had to turn my nook off, because video on pulse locked, and the wallpapers are back. They must be part of the boot up so I don't have a clue what to do now. I just did a bunch of deleting, cutting the file to my computer and the software in the nook just makes a copy of all my files on my sd card and puts them in the .thumbnails folder. My files on the sd are still where they should be. What's next??????
Where is this folder located? Is the .nomedia file still there?
The file is in the B&N download folder and is still there in both nook & sd.
Resolved; I created a new, empty folder, multi selected them both & deleted them & it worked. Strange.
I have a folder containing about 4,000 files. It's not a system folder or anything, it on the internal SD. Now, I've used ES File Explorer to delete it but it says "Cannot delete files!", ASTRO says "An error occurred". Now, I've rebooted and re tried to no avail. How can j delete this bloody folder? Thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
some files in the folder will hav permissions so deleting the folder tht contains these files wont delete...so enter folder and delete by multi select or move the whole folder to ext card an deleting is easy it happnd to me too.
Guys I had installed this app called as touch band and it had loaded some data on the internal sd card. When I uninstalled the app I tried to delete the folder but it did not get deleted. I tried to delete it from the comp but still no luck. It showed me that the storage is write protected but other folders are getting deleted. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance
If you are rooted use root file explorer to change permissions first
No dude I'm not rooted. I can delete other folders just not this one!
