Hello, I'm using pacman a really old version and before that I was using galaxy mod and when I tried to flash pacman and tried to restore my apps through titanium and I had no back ups at all and checked my files and my files were all gone everything I had, pics, music, important documents, backups etc they were all gone and I didn't do anything to erase the whole memory and I went trough recovery thinking it was an error and looked inside the internal storage and it gave the few list of folders.
All of then we're empty but none had any files bt at the very top it says /0 and somehow I selected that one and it showed all the files that were missing.. Documents pics etc... So I thought it was fixed.
I rebooted the phone nd went to storage nd the storage was clean and checked my files nd the files were still gone.. I used cyandelta app to update the rim and the /0 appeared so I clicked on it and it showed the whole files again.. So can anyone tell me what the hell happened??

I can't view my pictures after upgrading to 4.2
Example attached.
I tried viewing them using different apps and even on PC. Nothing. I cleared media storage data and reflashed my ROM. Full wipe, ect.

From what I know, on Android 4.2, system moves all the file in sdcard directory to sdcard0 directory. This means that all the apps that rely heavily on sdcard directory will not recognize the files now. I heard that you can simply just cut and paste all the file, but good luck with that. It'll take forever

Already tried that. No go.
Can't view them or can't pull them to PC?
I read that CWM was creating a /0/ partition every time you flash, so if you flash several times you could end up looking like /0/0/0/0/0/sdcard/. Kouche is supposedly fixing the issue, maybe he already did. In addition to not finding your media, if you needed to restore a backup in a pinch you would be effed. Only passing on what I read.
Patience...
On the first boot after reflash, the media scanner needs to go through one full run-through, and then your media apps have to clue in. Give it another reboot or two and it'll be fine.
However it sounds like you impatiently diddled with it as many flashers do... so I have no idea what state it's in by now
I had the same problem on my nexus 7, just deleting everything on sdcard except for the 0 folder and copying everything in 0 to sdcard did the trick for the data itself, but I still have to start over with games while the files are there. Trying to figure that one out now.
I think my pictures are actually corrupted though. Its not finding a lot of my music either.

I recently flashed cm10.1 on my GS3 and now I've got all my internal storage stuck in the storage/emulated/0/android/obb or storage/emulated/legacy/android/obb locations. Under settings it shows total space 12.05gb, available is 668mb but less than 1/4 of the visual bar is full and accounted for. Sd maid is showing the obb folder is holding 11.39gb but no matter what explorers I use it always appears empty. Anyone know how to free up this spae? I can't find anything anywhere about this. Thank you ion advance.
Edit:
Restoring it doesn't free the space up at all. Even tried restoring my backups and the space remains full.
The obb folder is what holds all of your game data. If you have a lot of games installed, especially ones such as Need for speed, grand theft auto, etc. Go into it and clear out the data for all the games you don't play.
I have zero games installed at all. It shows absolutely no files in the folder both regular and hidden and I cannot do anything to the folder whatsoever. Even a clean wipe won't help
This is all in the CM10.1 thread. It's all user data for different profiles. Format your sd card if you dont like it. Just make sure it's empty.

I have not seen it anywhere. This is all on the internal memory, not the sd card. Everything has stated it's empty but the system storage option in the settings . isn't there some way to force delete this folder?
Page three using the app. I meant internal sd. You can always format it.

That I have never heard of. I will look into it, thank you.
Tablet terminology, my bad. After switching from CM 10.1 to another ROM and copying its contents to the external sd, I formatted my internal sd in recovery.

Wow it worked! Thank you so much for the help.

It holds all internal data not just games every app has its own folder.

there is an xposed module that can fix this problem ..found this in google news app on my tablet,very helpfull for gamers.its called OBB to SD...install xposed framework on device as long as you running dalvic on your phone and not ART,cause xposed is not compatiable with ART,my gues is your running dalvic ...google xposed and read ..i see you have allready solved the problem..just adding to the answer,this is if you wanted to keep the files,for games..it moves all the files to the external storage,just make sure you get a large sd card..i like games,so i really find this mod helpful,also store my games on my 64 gig external storage
workaround and I thought it would be a nice idea to write it here.
I came to the counclusion that if I did a fresh new reset factory and installing a large mount of files in the internal storage's obb folder it ended up being deleted after rebotting my tablet.
So I decided to do a few steps the next time I reseted my tablet. First, I copied my files using my pc into the SD Card. Then, I installed a random game from Google Play so the tablet could "adapt itself" and install its own obb folder. After that, I installed my apps but not all at once but one at the time and rebooting after every installation for making sure it was all ok.
It concluded not having the error again and after having deleted the random game from the begining my tablet had finally worked.
Hope this idea helps someone having the same problem as I did. Just don't copy all obb files at once, don't copying it directly from the computer but copying them from the SD Card and install some random game for making sure it can at least hold those obb files.
Good luck!
Try Root Explorer and Delete the File from Root Folder

How is anyone else supposed to know what's on your device? Use a root file explorer, not the garbage Samsung one.
Look in Android/data and check all app folders
So I've noticed my storage is full of "other" - as per in the attached screenshot.
How do I find what that is, and do you reckon I can delete it?
It can't be cache stuff, can it?
I reckon it might be a Titanium Back up or a nandroid, but would like to know where to look. I'm back on stock and unrooted, and if this is something I can take off the phone and put on a spare hard drive, that would be great.
Thanks for your help...!
Looks like several people are having this problem?

It could be the pre-installed apps.
When you first bought your HOX, you check your settings and storage, only 2.11GB available on internal storage (apps memory), and more than 25GB available on virtual SD card or phone memory.
Some of the custom roms on rooted HOX has this functionality that we can be able to view the full details of what is consuming our memory.
i use ES file explorer for this it can run an analysis of the sd card and tell what the folders are that take up the most space
u can also analyze a folder instead of sd card to see what map or file takes the most space
u will see if its junk or maybe some old games you dont have installed anymore
and can simply delete them after
Its everything you downloaded, music , folders , pictures etc

No it's not music, folders, pictures. I have same problem and ask HTC for help.
Man you should try to factory reset and clear storage, if that doesnt work and your phone come with used 4gb (like mine), you should send it to service. Already not found any better way to fix it. Sorry if i'm wrong.

I got a reply from HTC this morning that this is what system takes which is a total BS as system is only 1.05 Gb in my case it is /sys folder which is showing to contain nearly a MILLION folders and 500000 (yes five hundred thousand) files.
They really dont know what they are telling.
Odp: [Q] Storage Full of "Other"
I'm now at hospital so cant send it to HTC. But i try send it next week. I tell you what's result. From HTC this is only way to fix it. I'm not expert just saying HTC's solution. Wait, may some one know other solution, i will tell you how it's going next week when get phone from service.

I've got the same problem! Looking inside the phone with a root explorer the amount of all the folders is around 350 mb with a custom rom, all the folder except one ( /sys ). The folder /sys has something wrong cause the explorer just keep saying calculating...
Is there anything we can do to have back all these GB?? Thanks
Have anyone try to factory reset?
I have got this problem too.
I have tried "make more space" by delete apps.
But "Other" is nothing change.:silly:
If you have a backup or migration tool installed check if you have any backups stored and also check the temp files of that backup app.
The othet section is the pre installed apps and the system itself.

I had 9.45GB of storage in "other"
I tried finding what it was taking that much space and discovered nothing in particular.
Some time before, I realized my HTC One Mini 2 was full. I was replacing data to my Ext. SD Card. Then I realized that, no matter what I replaced, the 9.45 GB remained the same/Increased.
I think there is some kind of TEMP file for stuff you deleted/replaced. So you could get it back if you deleted something by accident, because after restarting my phone, only 5.5GB of "other" storage was left.
However, this is still alot of storage, and I can't find what the 5.5GB contains in any file explorer. Does anyone have a clue about how big the OS and Sense layer are? Thanks in advance
My phone is missing 20GB of internal storage and I've done everything to get it back. Please help!
I am fairly certain it is related to an I/O error while trying to move files in my Android Play Music directory which is located at:
/data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music
I tried deleting but that didn't help. I then went booted into recovery and did a factory reset PLUS formatted /System and then installed a ROM from scratch. I am still missing the 20GB. Any thoughts?
Storage does not simply disappear. Try using the app "DiskUsage" and see where all the storage is being used.
did you try formatting sdcard via recovery or fastboot command?
It might some old nandroids you forgot about Go to setting > storage wait for a few seconds let it analyze then check where the space is good luck .. if nothing works out you can always flash factory image that cleans up everything

That sounds just like the emmc bug, search it.
Also get the app /emmc brick bug. It will show if the memories lost. I'm not saying it is this but it's the same. If it's gone there are two apks you can get that swap SD card for built in. It leaves the system bit alone
Tried to put pick but says need to upgrade app even though got it today!
As you can see it works. One apk swaps, the other undo's it.

Thank you all for the advice! I could have SWORN I deleted all my old nandroids but apparently I had not. One of the backups had 20GB of google music in it
Gosh I wish google music didn't get backed up by clockworkmod, but I digress...
Hey I need help, ever since I got my s3 t999 and rooted it a week ago I'm not seeing my songs in the Google Play Music app but they show in my files using root explorer, I've tried copying and pasting them to the internal storage but I'm still not seeing them it only shows a few songs I recently downloaded when i have more then 300 songs. Is there a fix for this thanks guys
Where exactly are you putting the songs? In a folder?
I've seen others have this issue, the only way (from what I've read) to fix the issue is to place the songs on the root/main directory on either the SD card or internal storage.

Try clearing data on media storage. Reboot and wait a while for it to rescan your device.

I put them in the music downloads folder in the internal storage where it was on the SD card but they still now showing up, I've tired uninstalling and reinstalling the play music app and even try clearing data and rebooting and still nothing...I will try both solutions @Da Kine and @DocHoliday77 thanks guys will report back when finished
Still not working
What about just putting all of the songs in a folder named music. Then, Uninstall play music, reinstall it, then reboot the device.

Best I can say is to start over clean. Odin flash the root66 firmware, factory reset from stock recovery, then copy your stuff back. Not all at once. Try just a chunk of files at a time and see if you can see them.
Btw, the factory reset will wipe internal storage. So back it up.
If it still won't see it, try temporarily uprooting from SuperSU. I'm wondering if it's a drm issue. Drm protected content won't work if you're rooted.
