Hey guys, so I've seen many people with the 0 folder problem... Many people keep asking how to deal with it... A simple way would be just to backup your apps, pics and etc on to your computer. Then finally wipe your system and wipe your whole internal storage... After that just install another Rom and restore everything... Took me 20 min....

Nope, /0 is made on internal not data, so it wouldnt help either way
Mind if I just ask here what formatting data in recovery actually does? Also if I wipe internal data I lose anything on my sd right. I'm just s little hazy on this and there's no post to explain this
Sent from my SPH-L710
Select all files including .hiddens and move them back to the root of sd, then rename to 0 to .0 be happy.
Sent from my SPH-L710
how do you keep it from coming back when flashing new roms? always get new 0 folder when flashing or restoring.
That folder is created on all 4.2+ roms because they repartition your sdcard that way
Don't keep anything that you want to save on the internal sd card and re format it every time before you flash a new rom. But that means the rom or anything you are flashing or don't want to loose must be stored on your external SD card.

I've tried that and the folder always comes back. I've erased internal memory and used an old restore from before using a 4.2 ROM. Doesn't matter what I do it comes back. Even my stock restore will create it. Do I need to reboot after clearing internal memory?

Did you miss the part that if you use a 4.2 rom you will have it no matter what! It's the way 4.2 roms work designed like that by Google. All you can stop is creating multiple O folders. The only way your going to eliminate it is going back to a 4.1 rom.

Hi all! I am a long time infuse user who finally made the switch to the note 2 and I am loving it so far. I decided to make the jump from stock and I am currently on Jedi ROM 6.1.2. Everything has been working fantastically so far, and I have been using Perseus Kernel without any issues for about 5 days. Today I was trying to update some of my apps and I got the error message below. I tryed top fix permissions, wipe cache, reinstall the ROM and delete Marley data all to no avail. I still can't update my current apps or install new ones. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

For me this was due to app2sd. I removed rom toolbox and disabled app2sd nd all was good
Did you wipe system? Did not see that listed in your attempts at a remedy when reflashing. Not saying you didn't, just throwing it out as a double check on your steps. Are you using cwm or twrp?

I recall something similar from my Dell Streak and custom ROM. It's not local storage space but something to do with download cache area. There's a way to clear it - sorry for no more detail but hopefully will put you on the right track.

These things aren't like hard drives. You should understands the differences between the two before replying like that. Where deleting from a hard drive the data can be recovered. Deleting from ssd and flash drives really does delete the files not just the directory of where those files. .....oh what am I even wasting my time for.

I do know the difference between the two. Quite well. I work in IT. So...with that out of the way.
Data is still recoverable after a factory reset. Just cause you press delete on a flash memory based device or do a factory reset doesn't mean it's gone. Go take a few pictures with your digital camera, delete them, and use some SD card recovery software. They'll be there. You can recover data from a factory wiped device. I've done it. It is still there until it's overwritten.

Your system and recovery partitions use a portion of the 16gb that the phone has. Kind of like if you do a fresh install of Windows on you PC, the system files take up part of the hard drive. There's no real way around that.

Are you saying the device shows total available internal memory to be ~9GB? If that is the case, that's the way it is with the way it's partitioned. If you mean there's 5.4GB missing out of the ~9GB it's supposed to have, then there's a problem.
your backup is in the external, can't see it unless you're in recovery. I figured out the hard way.

If you are using CWM and have made a backup (or two) check /data/media/clockwork. It's the root of the phone, not of the internal memory partition or SD card.

Use folder mount to move big files to ex card. This phone does not have option yet to move apps to sd unless you use a rom from another carrier on it.

The easy bet is that it is your rom backups. That has been the answer for all 900 other people who have made this same thread.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
That's why you always save backups on the ex card. Never save them on internal sd.

I always search before making a post. Haven't started too many posts... Sorry I couldn't find the answer :/ but thank you other guys for the help. I wasn't sure if backups could go to SD because of them being through cwm. But yes I knew they were taking a lot of my memory away.

Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
To get back ups to sd, first you search your recovery since they are not all created equal. On cwm I know you have the option right after you select backup and restore. It is a few selections down. Not sure on twrp, Im sure its easily spotted though.
Figured out how to back up to SD. Thanks for the help!

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.

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
