Extract the current wallpaper how to?

Hi there, here's my problem:
My desire had a funny turn and corrupted the sd card loosing all the photos from my honeymoon and first holiday with my wife (before I could back them up). After many attempts it seems impossible to recover them however one of my favorite photos is set as my background saving it (backgrounds are saved on the internal memory.
The question is "is there a easy way to extract my wallpaper without going root as the directory doesn't seem to be accessable."

Well, this might not be a perfect solution, but you can clear your homescreen of all the icons/widgets and take a screenshot by enabling USB debugginfg on your phone and capture the screen via android sdk. I assume you know how to do it.
This will give you a low-resolution version of the photo. You can have it as the worst case if you are not able to recover it in any other way.

Thanks for the suggestion, its an definite option. Its frustrating that I know the location just can't access it!

Just another solution
There is an app called ' wallpaper set and save' free from market. Using it you can extract the current wallpaper and it will be saved in full resolution in a folder called wallpapers.

[Q] Where's the pics?

I backed up all of my pics and vids in the DCIM folder this morning. Yet Storage still shows I have 1.27 Gigs of pics and vids. What gives? Any ideas?

Maybe the system hasn't refreshed it yet. Reboot will help

Solved. I didn't use your method, but thanks for the suggestion though. I decided to browse the pictures folder in /sdcard, and when I got into .thumbnails, I immediately see the culprit:
Those .thumbdata files, combined, would result to at least 1,1 GB. But after deleting those files, my available space remains the same (see first post).
So I guess it's Android's indexing fault that caused the confusion.

No problem I'll remember this method, thanks for posting your fix

I'm not sure if this will solve it but its a worth a try. Go to settings/apps or app manager then scroll to ALL and then open settings and clear data and cache. And try again. This might wipe your setups.

The "0" Directory

Okay, so basically every time I flash a new ROM it creates that undeletable 0 folder/directory which is really annoying. I have about six 0 folders on my device's storage now and it makes everything painfully unorganized. I know this is normal but is there anyway I can delete the extra folders?

This bothers the hell out of me.

It should only make 1 directory if it doesn't it means you're not on the latest recovery. You can either try and deleting them or format your internal memory

Please search for similar questions before posting. There have many questions just like this one. Upgrade to the latest ClockWork Mod recovery, or the latest TWRP recovery, and this should be fixed.

How can I fix this? I have the legacy/user folders (media/0/0/0). I've also made a few backups if that's what's taking up my storage. Any help is appreciated. I am a noob.
I am on the newest paranoid android ROM.

Thanks leopard. So I was right.. All these back ups I made is taking up a lot of space.
Can anyone point me to the directory if where these are... Also is it safe to delete these backups? Any help is appreciated.

The file structure in the GUI is the same as you'd expect on your "sdcard". Your backups are in "/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/"
Yes, its perfectly fine to delete them. Just make sure you're happy with your current configuration and you wont be wanting to revert back to one of those backups.
I would go ahead and WIPE the Titanium Backups as well. With a folder that large, I can only assume you have old app versions there and there is no point on having outdated apps when you have the latest.
