it does exactly what it says:
if a file been deleted by accident or you decided to keep some photo you took but after deleting it ... with this app you will be able to simply restore it back.
tested it on my HOX, my wifes' SGS1, and it works just great !

give it a go, its a mandatory application on every android device !
But does it have a black hole like on PC? Once I had 100 GB hard disk and I had around 300 GB with **** in recycler bin. Does it work here too?

haven't noticed any additional directories on the storage after deleting some files... so i think that the "black hole" is not present here.

Windows doesn't delete any files it just makes the space the data is store as "writable" and all "writable" space is shown as "free space" in windows even if there is actually data stored there, the reason behind you being able to recover files after they have been deleted.
Also you can't have a 100 GB disk and "around 300 GB" of data stored in writable space just can't happen, unless you mean 1000 GB..... and even still that 300 GB of "****" would be classed as writable so the operating system will just write over it when that time comes.

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.

As many of you may know, Dropbox is currently holding a promotion for their new automatic photo upload thing. For every 500mb of pictures I upload, I get 500mb free (4.5GB limit).
I am trying to think of the best / fastest way to do this. I've been looking and looking for high resolution photos, but most all the ones I find are just under 1mb. I'd have to download atleast 500 of them to get the first 500mb. I even began just snapping random photos with my phone, just pressing the camera capture button, over and over and over for a total of 311 times lol. It was nowhere near enough pictures.
Anyone have any advice? Or does anyone have a place for photographs with large file size? To those of you that have already done this, could you tell me what you did to do it?
This may be of interest
I suppose if everyone posted a pic.... maybe you could pool em all into dropbox? First -

Hi all,
I just went from full stock to ordroid 7.1.0. When I check my available space I see this.

Now I have lost a lot of space "overig". Is this maybe caused by previously installed games? And if so, how do I fully delete game data without fusing around in explorer?

you should start with cleaning the sdcard from useless things

It is the other storage I am worried about
you mean the 25Gb available and not 32?

No I think he means the 4.43 GB out of 6.76 GB
It's a little strange, cause the App space is at my phone (stock 2.17) is 2.11 GB and I have 1.28 GB available. So you have more space available then me on Stock ROM with 852 MB on Apps. I wouldn't worry at this moment. But you could ask at the Ordroid thread, why it's showing so much space and "Overige" section.
This is mine... But it seems ok
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?

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.

I recommend the app "Disk Usage" which provides a really nice intuitive and slick graphical interface, to allow you to pretty easily determine what files are taking up all your storage: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage
But you should be aware of what the files are, and what the result of deleting them will be, before doing so. Depending on what the file is, you might want to at least copy it to your computer before deleting.
You haven't mentioned if your phone is modded (custom recovery, custom ROM, etc.) but if you have any TWRP backups or ROMs, those will usually default to internal storage (unless you've set it up otherwise) and fall under the "Other" category, and often a big consumer of that much space. In particular, a single TWRP backup can easily take up 5 GB (depending on number of apps, etc.).
You can always move important files to your external Sdcard and format internal memory ,in most cases the "other" file won't have anything that will brake your phone if deleted

That still doesn't answer the question of whether you have a TWRP backup on the phone, or not.
I gave a suggestion on how to determine what files are taking up all the storage. Did you try it?
