probably the DCIM,android and obb is the folder that make your internal full,data in android folder is a folder for apps to grow cache or store data and obb is mainly folder for game data.if you have many apps,considering deleting app that are useless to you.also the picture you taken may have caused for your internal to become big and it is located in the DCIM folder.

You can use ES Explorer (or Root Explorer), and grant it SU, then you can see the hidden stuff.
All apps that play audio files from my device can not find and play any of my songs and audio files that are in my device internal SDcard and I can not see my photos in the gallery.
Sorry for the double posting but I really need your help with that.
Make sure your music .mp3 files are in the root of the Music folder. Not in separate folders inside the music folder.
Images I'm not sure, I let HTC Sense move mine. Not sure what phone you have.

I've the SGS2.
Music files on my device in several folders all in the internal memory, some in a folder called music some in MP3, simplemp3 etc... They were always arranged so like that, sam ething with my photos
The problem began suddenly I did not do anything special to it before it (except maybe Mlsdrg the rum of CM10 version of the 15.8)... If I have to guess what is the problem I would have said that it has something to do with the naming of the internal storage and SDCARD folders or the permissions that they have, the folders that are located in mnt are:
extsdcard - Irwxrwxrwx
sdcard - drwxrwxr-x (this on is Empty!)
usbdisk - drwxrwxr-x
usbdisk0 - irwxrwxrwx
p.s - in Storage/ the internal memory and SD card are both d--rwxr-x and the usbdisk0 is drwxrwxr-x
I found that my problem is with my internal storage.
I've moved one song to my sdcard and the music app Identify the file and play it.
I don't want to move all of my song and photos to my sd card how can I fix this problem?
P.S- I've notice, by using root explorer, in the main folders list the sdcard folder list as rwxrwxrwx -> sdcard0 and the folder below it Storage
In /storage the folders that are there are sdcard0 ---rwxr-x
sdcard1 (my external sdcard) ---rwxr-x
usbdisk0 rwxrwxr-x
does this information tell you something?
My 16GB micro SD now almost full. There's only 500GB free space. I have lot of files and folders in my SD. But I don't have clear idea what're the large files and folders. So are there any app that can sort folders according to the total size?
Thanks!
ES File Explorer can do it (check the screenshot).
You can also use TreeSize on a Windows box to find the files and folder sizes. Connect your mobile to the computer or use a memory card reader and select the drive to scan from scan menu in TreeSize.

Just go to any file manager or your stock my files app
Now press menu button>view by>size here you go

ASTRO file manager has such functions, I believe
i found that there is folder in my internal storage called "obb". inside the folder there are Gameloft's games folders.
and the whole folder (obb) size is 5GB !
so i'm here to ask (and yes.. i've already used google): there is a way to move this folder to an ExSD card without damaging some games/data ?
btw: GL to SD does not allow me to transfer the files of my Gameloft games ... Only YouTube and Google music

My carrier is MetroPCS. Since this phone only has 1.8GB of internal memory, I have a 16GB microSDHC card for external storage, but I can't move anything from sdcard0 to my external sd card in File Manager because nothing shows up on sdcard0. I want to move my pictures from sdcard0 to my external sd card, but nothing shows up under the "pictures" folder in sdcard0. I can't just make my storage option the SD card because when I do that, it's still saving on the internal memory, because apparently the phone thinks that sdcard0 is the SD card. So I need a way to change the storage option to my external card or a way to uncover these files that are hidden somehow.
I'm operating on Jellybean 4.1.2 and 3.0.31 kernel.
@pennyboard420 Welcome to XDA forums.
Your camera pictures are actually saved in the "DCIM/thumbnails" folder and not the "Pictures" (only my screen-shots are saved in the "Pictures" folder) folder and no this folder won't open with File Manager. You need a different file browser, like Root Browser that lets you see hidden files/folders. On some of them you will need root access to modify or change these files and folders.
You can't set and change your default storage location from sdcard0 to the external sdcard natively.
You would need to install an app like Link2sd or a swap script, again the device needs to be rooted.

I've tried your solution but wasn't able to get it rooted because some drivers that I needed couldn't be run on the Surface RT tablet that I have due to the tablet only allowing Microsoft developed software to run. However, I have found an alternate solution: Instead I connected my LG L9 to the tablet, opened up the DCIM/Thumbnails folder and manually copied all my pictures into the DCIM/100LGDSC folder of my external SD card.
Chances are you probably already know about this, but just putting it out there.
Thanks again.
