Wonder if I have a virus cuz I try to delete the files with file explorer and it wont allow me to delete... I've deleted any kind of things with file explorer in the past

That images are usually saved by an application you installed previously..
Make sure no apps uses that images, and eventually consider uninstalling it

Guys I'm looking to bring my phone to Samsung to ask them to change some faulty components for me.
I've unlocked and rooted my phone.
So I saw that by locking my Gnex again. All my internal storage will be lost? Does that me all my titanium backups as well as my Cwm backups?
How do you guys deal with this?
Previously on my gs2. I just had to backup to my external sd card.
Anyone have any ideas?
Much appreciated

Last time I unrooted an factory reset I just copyed all clockwork backups to one folder on SD card(virtual) as we don't have a external one. And then just copyed it all over to my laptop. Once ready just re-root phone copy/paste all files back and ur golden..
at least that worked for me.
Heaven tried on titanium files tho
Cheers

You're gonna want to take all of your personal data off before you factory reset and set it all back to stock anyways.
Takes ages to transfer backups over doesn't it. So long that it crashes. What do you mean by virtual drive?

The Galaxy Nexus doesn't have a physical SDcard. It has a "virtual" spot that acts like an SDcard. Your files are stored there, that's where you need to take your stuff from and put on your computer. If USB transfer isn't working. Put it on WiFi & stuff them all on Dropbox or use an FTP app.
My main concern is the pad lock on the boot screen. Is there anyway to remain on my flashed rom and remove the unlocked sign? Cause i just wanna do some over the counter exchange.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Don't think so.
The lock signifies u unlocked the boot loader(90%) sure bout that.
And u cant stay on a custom ROM with it locked. Unless someone found a way around it.

Someone has to find a way! My god it's quite trouble some to move them big files.

Also. If u think that the store won't be able to the the diff between u being unlocked or not. U can get "logo me" from market and change the unlocked pad lock to a pic if a locked one. So phone is still rooted unlocked but looks stock in boot process

There's an app called BootUnlocker that let's you lock and unlock your phone within android without losing root.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
You don't have to take it to Samsung you could always take it to a 3rd party phone repairer that deals with Samsung phones an doesn't care if its rooted.
Yea, its a bit pricy but worth it IMO. I paid for it and love the customization.
If u have a bit of time on or hands, u can try looking thru or system.apk file. I think its also in there but I'm not 100% on that.
Use root explorer or any other explorer and go to system/app/ and pull or system apk. Put it on or PC or laptop.
Open it with 7zip (right click , open archive. DO NOT EXTRACT) then go to red/drawable. And in the xhdpi folder look thru the pics. I believe one of them is the boot logo lock.
I'd give u exact paths and file names but I dont have my laptop on me right now.
Hope this helps

I find the most reliable way to backup your entire /sdcard contents is via ADB. I can't recall the exact syntax that works but it's so much better than trying to make it work by MTP...
adb pull /sdcard sdcard possibly? Or some variation of that. And then it just starts copying en masse, and you leave it for whatever 25-50 minutes it requires, and then you're all backed up. Restoring by adb push works well too.
If the pull gets interrupted or messed up in any way while booted into the OS, you can try again while booted into CWM Recovery. Careful when pushing entire directories back via CWM - sometimes this can leave you with messed up permissions and then you will be unable to edit/delete/create files in some places. More info about how to fix that in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22970837&postcount=14
But yeah once you backup your entire internal storage, including whatever nandroid backup you need to get back to your custom setup, you can flash it all clear back to wiped stock without any concern of data loss.
Something seems to be wrong with the calculation of my internal storage. I feel like I should have more free space. Any ideas where this used space could be hiding? And how I'm using 523MB for pictures isn't possible, I have around 70 photos on this phone. They average 2MB each.

Nandroids?
I only have one nandroid back up. The files in the backup folder aren't particularly large though.

Download Es file explorer, once inside click menu "3 dots" click manager then click SD card analyst. It will show you what your apps are eating or various things being stored. Most likely my guess is a bunch if non sense thumbnails. Probably a bunch of small files.

Glad I found this. Was finally able to locate some old game files that were taking up 3 GB !!Thanks!
I have the exact same problem and this worked, but when I delete it it says the space is free, but j get out and go back and the files are all back again. Its been like this ever since I rooted and unlocked my phone.
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
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
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
ok so about a week ago i got an update through kies and now i have these odd black icons in my pictures folders. any ideas on how to get rid of them?
I'm getting the same thing, but I'm not fond of the stock gallery app anyways. I use Quickpic and its free and better IMO. All my pics show up fine using that.

Thanks, I'll look into that. It may sound weird but I try to avoid using apps to do normal os things. I like to use the built in file structure as much as possible.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I had this issue once after a restart; I had the same amount of those black icons as I did pictures, about 600 or so. The only thing that fixed it was shutting down phone, remove SD card, turn on phone, then reinsert SD card.
