[Q] Are these safe to delete? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I see theses files on my internal storage , and I am wondering what importance they have, and if they are safe to delete
1)cfg_dun_status
2)cfg_uart_sel
3)cfg_usb_sel

I deleted them once but they come back so I really wouldn't bother.

I believe those are config files of some nature. You can delete at your own risk... but I understand they reappear after a reboot anyway. Sorry

Safe to remove drawable?

In my gallery there are a bunch of pictures, drawable-hdpi etc.
Is it safe to delete these? I don't have external storage...so I only have ~ 1GB on my phone. I need more, so any suggestions what I can delete?
You can delete them... The rom your running is flashing those images in there due to not correctly recompiling... They are safe to delete..

Accidental memory wipe please help!

I was using Astro file manager to clear some space on my phone, and noticed that I had a folder called emulated on there that had all the same files, figuring that was what was taking up so much space I deleted it. Now all my files are gone from sddisk0 too! Is there any way to reverse a mass delete like this??

Maybe try connecting to a PC (or Mac) and running an undelete prog. or check to see if there is an undelete app out their.

Just tried two apps from the marketplace once couldn't scan it the other just FC instantly :-/ I need to get my files back

The apps you are trying to use wont work as the phones internal sd is MTP and cannot be mounted as a disk. THIS HERE is your only option. Its a pain in the ass but youll get all your stuff back provided you havent been using the phone heavily overwriting the stuff u want to recover. Used this on two GS3's, a Galaxy Nexus and my Note II. Flawless if you follow the instructions

Completely out of memory and cant seem to find the huge files causing it?

As the title mentiones, my device is out of memory. Like none. Even if I install a new rom the phone storage is still low cant even update all my apps because there's no space on my device. I tried apps to see whats taking up the huge space but there all worthless really cant delete from the app. Dont want to delete important files either so question is how can I get ride of all this crap the phone doesn't need?

silly question, but once it was done calculating did you tap on one of the sections to see the individual files and there sizes? i was coming close to having this issue, until i went through each of those sections with a fine tooth comb. it was then i found piles of old downloaded files just stock piled....ended up clearing 3 gigs.
Let that screen sit for a minute to let the calculations finish. Then select a category (like miscellaneous). Then check which files you like to delete. The hidden thumbnail folder can get big, much like other app folders that cache info.

Have you possibly flashed any aosp or cyanogen roms. Could possibly have files built up in an O folder on your internal sd card

In my screenshot above, that 2+GB TWRP folder has only 1 backup of the data partition. Moving these backups to external SD can open a lot of internal storage space.

Anyway to force use of extSD?

I hate that some apps don't have an option to use the extSD, so I end up with duplicate folders all the time and things like 2 download folders in gallery. Is there anyway to remove the internal SD from the file list or something else that might work? Change the mount point around?
Thanks.

[Q] 2 file system things

I dont really know what to title this, so ill try to explain the best i can. Whenever i hook my phone up to my PC, there seems to be 2 same yet separate storage. If i go straight into my internal, there are the normal Music, pictures, podcasts and those type folders, but then there is a golder named 0 and it has the same exact files but it seems like those are the ones my phone uses.
So to recap, my internal storage is copied into a subfolder of the normal files...Any clue as to what is going on? Im running Lifeless btw.
Here are the pictures of what im talking about. Notice the firsts contents, then the second. Nearly identical, yet i use the 2nd's files.
First picture is the normal folder, and the second is the subfolder.

Have you had AOSP before? I noticed that after moving back. If I helped don't forget to click the Thanks Button
That would explain it. Would it be bad to delete one of them?

It has something to do with the fact that 4.2 can support multiple user logins users I believe. I'm sure there is someone that can explain this better than I. I deleted one of them without any real trouble, but if you go back to an AOSP ROM it will just create it again.
Does it matter which I delete? Should I just delete the one not being used?

Just move everything over to the "0" folder. When you reboot it'll create what it needs in the other/regular folder.
