My titanium backup, backups to my dropbox. Today I noticed a slight decrease in space on my computer so I ran windirstat and noticed a large amount of usage in the titanium backup folder in dropbox.
Going inside the folder, I noticed 854 files. They are all named: com.fsck.k9-xxxxxxx-xxxxxx.tar.gz(with a bunch of numbersletters).
Each file is 20MEG in total (so 15.6GB in total).
Any idea what is causing this?

Hi.
i'm wondering if there are a temp folder somewhere on the internal memory where programs are being stored even tho they have been installed.
the reason is that last week, i had 40 something mb free, moved everything to sd, so problem solved.
Today i have 19mb free, i have installed some new apps, but they are installed on the sd card, so i can't figure out where the 20mb went.
I am figuring that it's probably the apk's i've downloaded which are left somewhere.
How would i go about figuring out where the 20mb went?
The cache of some applications is probably taking the space.
Go to settings, Applications, manage applications and look in apps.
Inside each app, Cache button is present.
Or, install from market
http://www.appbrain.com/app/app-2-sd-free-(move-app-to-sd)/com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd
the new version can clean cache of the applications, if you start app2sd.

Yes, i've seen that mentioned somewhere else, the thing i'm wondering about, is that the 3 games i have added to the collection over a week, should that make a 20mb difference on the internal memory?
I've installed app 2 sd, and it's reporting that i've got 1.6mb cache used by apps, so not much going on here.
On the phone tap, it'll let me move maps, facebook and voice control to sd card, that's cool.
In the phone only tap, i can see those apps, which cannot be moved, i got 7 apps.
flash 11.2mb,
space invadars 4.6mb,
marked,
launcherpro 3.5mb,
beautiful widgets 1.8mb,
3g watchdog 688kb and setcpu 432kb.
On the bottum it says total 147.62mb, 21mb free.
21mb free, and i've only got those 7 apps installed on internal memory.
does that look correct to you, because to me it looks like there should be more available.
Hi,
I have more apps on "phone only", and even some under "on phone" and still 41 mb free.
And what about mail attachments and cache.
Go to mail, then settings, and see if you keep the data on internal or external storage. Check the same within the web browser.
And see if you have deleted already deleted mails from trash folder.
I can't help more.

I'm having the same problem, and like you can't find a solution .... yet.
I'm at 12mb free with everything possible moved to SD card.
I installed an app from the market yesterday then uninstalled it, but never recoverd all my memory, so I think, lke you there's something being left behind in a temp folder somewhere.
I'll keep you posted if I find a solution.
Bump.
As of right now i've got 8 apps installed on internal memory.
i've got 13.85mb left.
on sd i've got 39 apps, and 2.93gb left.
still no solution to where all the storage went?
the thing is that sometimes when u install then uninstall an app u don't recover the whole space, this issue has been discussed many times before,and basicly there is no temp folder from which u could delete unneeded files.the only way to recover that memory would be a factory reset
I'm syncing data (Lecture Notes and PDFs) between my Note 10.1 and Note 2 using Folder Sync and a My Book Live. I've managed to get this operational with a test folder; however, before I get full bore and start functionally using this, I was wondering if anyone can advise how I can perhaps schedule daily backups of those items in case something goes screwy with the synchs?
TB, for example, I don't envision backing up my PDFs--just apps/data. I assume this would be the same for most other back up apps.
I thought about creating another Folder Sync but this time not enable the "delete" option?
Dunno.... Thoughts?
Maybe use Samsung account and Dropbox to sync everything.
P.S. I am not sure if its actually possible.

OK, here's one way to skin this cat:
- If you are syncing folders/data that DOESN'T contain .nomedia files, then you can use FolderSync and sync that folder, without overwrite option, only TO a folder on your server (i.e. My Book Live external HD) through FTP.
- If you are syncing folders/data that DOES contain .nomedia files (Lecture Notes), then you can sync the folder, without overwrite option only TO a folder on a share service--such as Dropbox--or you can send it to another folder on your phone.
In addition to Folder Sync, there's also a program called Ed's Backup Utility that is another way to send folder to external HD over wifi.
Foldersync lite

You can sync to the cloud of your choice.
Fyi- box is giving 50 gig free sign up right now. Limit of 250 meg per file though.
I use this to back up the folders of my choice and the titanium backup folder for apps

Does that mean I have to be a member?
... are annoying the heck out of me!
I have 170mb of pictures, and the thumbnails for those pictures takes 1.00GB!!!! How is that possible?!
And if I delete the thumbnails (via SD Maid) it takes FOREVER to view the images in the gallery (obviously the system just re-create the thumbnails, but it takes WAY too long and leaves me with another 1GB of space lost!)
Are there any fixes for this? I was thinking freeze Gallery app with Titanium Backup (or completely uninstall it?) and use a 3rd party gallery like QuickPic to browse images. Would that work?
And assuming I do use the "freeze" function, do I need to freeze anything else besides the Gallery app to stop Android from creating more thumbnails??
Thanks!!
Addendum:
After looking through the folder, each thumbnail is indeed very small (8-35kb each). However, there are two files:
1) /storage/emulated/legacy/DCIM/.thumbnails/.thumbdata3-1763508120 (509.59 MB)
2) /storage/emulated/legacy/DCIM/.thumbnails/.thumbdata3--1967290299 (509.94 MB)
I have also noticed that in the .thumbnails directory there are two thumbnails for each picture I have on my phone. I believe there are duplicates of everything because I initially had all my pictures on my internal SD card, and when I moved them all to my external SD card to free up some space, the phone re-created the thumbnails (so the 1st set of thumbnails were the original thumbnails, and the 2nd set was created when I moved photos from internal SD to external SD).
Anyways... I would prefer not to even deal with thumbnails taking up this much space. Any recommendations on either reducing the amount of space the thumbnail files take, or if I should just eliminate the entire gallery/thumbnail setup completely and go with a 3rd party app that hopefully won't do this so inefficiently?
What are these two files? Can I delete them / move them?
Questions and help issues go in Q&A

Bump!
So the thumbnail file seems to always be 500mb or so. What an unnecessary waste... anyone else bothered enough by this to find a solution?
Thanks

Hi,
Quick question: I had sorted all my Pictures on my ext_sdcard into folders, but sadly in the official Gallery app it just shows all of them under camera pictures. Only like 5 Folders which have no logical connection to me are shown, from the internal aswell as from the external storage. Now, I am able to create new Albums and sort them through the menu, but as far as I can see the only thing that changes are the databases and not the file system. I would hate to sort all my photos again
is there a way to use the folder structure or at least something to speed up the process??
I had hoped it would suffice to just change the mediacollection.db -> albums to include the folders but that didn't work
*EDIT*
to create groups one would need to compute the bucket_id hash for the corresponding file/folder. Any infos on which algorithm it uses, or how I can compute it myself?
**EDIT**
The Albums get sorted by Folder, so if you have Subfolders then those will just be in one album. splitting them up kind of resolves the problem. it's just not very nice to have all image folders scattered over the sdcard and completely defeats the purpose of one single image folder
***EDIT***
Moved the pictures from the DCIM Folder to the Pictures Folder and it worked perfectly. please mark as solved for reverence or delete.
Today I got a message telling me that my fire tv storage was almost full and if I wanted to delete some apps. Deleting apps didn't put a dent in the space being used so I went into my xbmc folder to find out what was taking up all the space. I noticed there is 1.72gb of mp3 files in my .xbmc/temp folder. Why is it using so much temp space for mp3s? Is there a way to fix this so I wont have to constantly delete the mp3s? I created an advanced settings file to move thumbnails to external drive so thumbs aren't an issue. I'm somewhat of a newbie when it comes to xbmc although I have had it installed on my pc for while but with tb's of space on the pc I never had to worry about how much space xbmc is using.

Install the maintenance tool addon then open it, select general maintenance, and clear cache. reboot and you should be good.
