What is a "part 13/14 backup"?

Its on my sd card. Its starting to take a ridiculous amount of space already; about 2gb worth. I've had to delete adventure time and nova2 on my phone just to make space. I tried to delete the files, but it corrupts my sdcard. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

I think this is what those backups are referring to take a look http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028405

The back ups are created when you use the superwipe.zip in recovery

Thanks for the replies, I didn't think anyone checked q/a anymore xD are they safe to delete though? Last time I deleted a batch of these, my sdcard read corrupted, and it took me a while to get my phone working again.

Do you mean you can't reach them thru the stock gallery, or your file manager, video player, or all of the above?
Have you tried the app Rescan media, I believe it's called...?

I mean nothing that is SD card related can be found, used,played etc.. I truly believe my sd card died on me.. if so what do I do?? Get another sd card and be fine or??? Bcuz I am thinking of replacing this g2 with another but since my sd card seems shot does that mean I can't or re-root because I don't have the contents that came with the root??
Ps. I have backup roms but don't know how to put it on the what seems to 'dead' sd card. =Ditamae;19386527]Do you mean you can't reach them thru the stock gallery, or your file manager, video player, or all of the above?

Have you tried putting your card in an sdcard reader on your computer to rule out it being your ROM/device?
If your card is dead, then just buy a new one; you won't have your data but you'll still be able to root your new device if you chose to buy a new one.

I have this same problem. Data off my SD Card will get randomly deleted. At first I thought it was because I used a particular app or when I sent a file as an attachment.
I've tried multiple SD Cards with the same results.

Sense Crashing One X

Searched forum to no avail.
Running Android 4.0.4 and Sense 4.1 on Three UK handset.
Started a few weeks ago, when using Flipboard app, that Sense crashed when closing app. Now it is happening again all apps, Internet, in fact everything.
I had this issue on 1.28 or 1.29, but update fixed it. Now it's back. Be a great help if somebody could shed some light on this.
Thanks.

I am getting the same sort of problems although it isn't crashing all the time. Also on Three UK, standard stock and unrooted 1.29 Do you have lots of apps installed and have very little internal storage free as I think this is causing my problems? I have lots of problems with insufficient memory when trying to install or update apps. I used app2sd to move apps to phone storage but I seem to still always have very little free internal memory but 13gb free on phone storage.
I want to do a complete factory wipe and reinstall / setup apps to see if it resolves it but I think I will wait for JB before doing this due to the hassle and time it will take me.
Thanks

Loads of apps. 8gb Internal left. 1gb other. Done a wipe/reflash. No different.
Can't work out why it's happening. It's the latest in a list. Cannot see myself touching HTC again. My Desire was almost faultless. The One X is great, but only when it fancies. Shame.

next time buy HTC, not branded

You have many running apps and this causes Android to start killing apps when it needs more memory. I guess it's the carrier bloatware. It has nothing to do with Sense "crashing". Try to identify which apps are not needed and disable them if possible.

Completely agree, brands are ****... Cause of the CID, very late upgrades and these sort of problems

[Q] message memory full

Hi guys,
I 've put CM10 on my daughters HTC Desire and in general it runs ok.
The problem is, she keeps getting a 'message memory full' warning.
She has deleted almost all her messages to try and stop it.with no joy.
Is there a known fix for this please or am I missing something obvious.
There seems to be a limit to how much you can make go to the SD card. (apps etc)
She has a 16Gb SD card, no partition.
If I can supply any more info, let me know.
Thanks

I made a 1 gb partition worked for me

Why do you need a partition.....what do you use it for?
How do you direct things to it?

Check your entire SD card with a file manager. You've got something big on there.

I have Astro installed, would that do the trick? Or browse thru the PC connection?

Yea that would work. Either way you're more comfortable with. Check all the files. Sounds really off.

What ROM are you running? It could be space used up by stock system stuff. OP is stock and I'm running Bonestock, which is essentially stock.

I cant link my screen shot, but my TWRP is only 2.89GB, Still doesn't add up to the 10.53GB used...

I Think I see an issue. on my system folder I have two files in the storage folder named "Emulated" and "sdcard0" . They have the same thing in each one, about 3.40GB. Is this a normal file format for android?

From what I've gathered it's not actually there twice, it's just a reflection, so to speak, of your user data. It's a feature implemented for muti-user setups.

Already posted a thread about this........
The HTC One is formatted different than a typical external sd card (FAT). Because it is formatted differently, USB mass storage does not show up on our computers. Use adb to push files. Check your storage space on the phone.

I have 10.08GB used in other with no backups. Just the way the phone came.

Thanks Guy's, just wanted to be sure it wasn't something I did while running Rumrunner or doing my first recovery.

at one point my other storage was gigantic as well. It was at the point where I didn't have enough room to backup in recovery.
after I uninstalled play music and magazines my other storage dropped to below 10GB and gave me 17 GB free.
lol I can't believe I didn't realize this phone came with no microsd slot. Not being able to put all my media on one is bumming me out.
Its still a great phone but now I'm missing my thunderbolt a little bit.

This is def a bug, and I might have a fix... Here's how I came to this...
On soff day one I soffed, immediately I installed cwm recovery, and first thing I did was do a backup... Restarted my phone, and immediately got the less than 10 GB left...right after that I wiped and i installed mokee, and still had storage issues... Then I deleted the factory backup and did a nother fresh backup from recovery... Poof all my space is back... Check the size of your factory backup, bet its huge... Take it off your phone and stash it on your PC if you wanna save it...
This is where backups are stored
