What can I delete?

Right I have just been looking through the files on my SD card and noticed theres loads me files I have no idea what view are. My question is are all the important system files in the data folder? I'm on MIUI data2ext Rom so obviously its on my SD card. For example I i go into file manager and there is 3gb me stuff in the misc folder. I have no idea what all that is in there but it doesn't seem to be the data stuff.
Thanks

I'm not sure as to your system files as I've never used that rom. But I've read an been told that SD/lazylist folder can get quite big but is safe to delete as needed.

I am sure, nobody understands why you want to delete these files. Tell us.

Because I have 3gb of files that don't seem to be important. All I want to know is what files can't I delete in terms of the system files?

I'd be careful deleting data files directly. 3GB sounds like a hell of a lot, so I'd take a look through the application listing in Settings > Applications and see what's taking up so much space. Doesn't hurt to clean up here and there anyhow if you're careful

No... I have to put the APK installer file into internal memory... Not after installing.... Is b4 installing

In the basic sense of the question, it means just put the APK "NOT" within the sdcard or any folders under it. I think this only possible if you're rooted.
In any case, I wonder why there's such requirement. APK is just an installer and even in the sdcard level it should work or run. Then when you install, default is the app will be placed in the INTERNAL memory. That should be what you wanted.

Maybe tick the unknown sources option if its not already?

I suppose that's what i will do also even if doing so sounds strange. If still don't work probably its a bad apk. Try it on another device or look for another source.

test using titanium, so you can integrate the game to system, it can work maybe

For what purpose?

i have a *ahem" game called "Spectral Souls"....
but i can't install~

You can put it to system/app with Root Explorer if a install from sd card doesn't work.

Thanks.... Problem solved using Root Explorer~

Deleting HTC Widgets from internal memory

Is there a way that you can remove certain HTC Widgets from the phone to free up some of the memory? Can I use es file manager and go to /system/app and just delete apk's from there or will that cause problems? Thanks
Sent from my AT100 using Tapatalk

If you've rooted, yeah you might be able to do that. I think you'd need to root to access the system files (not sure, don't know about phones just thinking logically) and then it should be possible.

Rooted - File Explorer - System mount - delete those Files with the ending widget.

Yes you can.
I would use titanium backup.
And backup before deleting so if you run into issues you can restore individual apps.
Although es file will do just fine, just make sure in the es settings to give root access and mount file system.

Sorry for bringing up an old thread but it's kinda relevant.
I tried installing a few additional widgets through HTC Hub. The downloads were successful but the install wasn't. And this took up some (large actually) amount of space off my internal.
So, what do I delete and from where to get rid of these unwanted files? I don't really care about it not being installed, just don't want it bloating up my memory space. Thanks in advance, and I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere.

I'm sorry but Bump.
Any help would be appreciated with the above issue?

They should be installed to
/system/app. if your are using apps2sd with your Rom, look under /system/sd/app. Just look for the name of the widget u downloaded and delete it from there. I use es file explorer. U must go into its settings and allow root explorer and mount, to be able to do this. Also try wiping your dalvik cache in cwm.

Delete unwanted files and folders under sdcard directory

hi, under my sdcard directory i can see 2 android folders. one is "Android" and the other is "android". is this a redundant folder? Should i delete one of them? Or are there really 2 "android" folders in jelly bean. And also can i safely delete hidden files left by uninstalled apps, those that starts with "." as in "sdcard/.doubletwist" . I have uninstalled doubletwist long ago and i just found this out lately. Is is safe to delete ./doubletwist then?
thanks

Do not delete either of them or some apps will lose data and could lose apps installed on the sdcard. Also as I tell everyone I helpout checkout my forums at android-developers.froumatic.com

There are no apps on the "sdcard" on a gnex. I would delete the .doubletwist directory. I only have an Android folder but I would look at file modification dates in both folders to see if one wasn't being used. JM2C

[Q] Folder removal

Is there an app that will remove folders for apps that not installed on the tablet?

Just use any file manager and delete the folder

I was more looking for something that would remove all of the folders that are not being used with any installed app. With my luck, I would remove a folder that was important and cause more issues.
