Hi everyone,
Just wondered if anyone can help me with a titanium back up problem I'm getting, not been using it too long so want to make sure I haven't missed anything obvious!
Thanks Pete

LOL, good point, I have set titanium to always back up external data, I installed alien vs predators and there is a large obb file within the Android Data folder, Titanium doesn't back this up, so if I delete the game then I have to download it all again and all my saved game data is gone
Can't understand what's going on.
Pete.
PS I've noticed it does this on other ones too.

Hey Pete,
I had the same issue but i realise it only backs up large external data that are within the Android/Data Folder and does not include the obb folder. Theres is no option to select the folder either. Hope this clears your question. I can only suggest that you manually backup the obb folder onto external.
OR use directory bind for such big data folder.

Thanks for that, that explains things, but to be honest I'm very disappointed in that, I brought this to back everything up but it appears that this isn't the case.

Something seems to be wrong with the calculation of my internal storage. I feel like I should have more free space. Any ideas where this used space could be hiding? And how I'm using 523MB for pictures isn't possible, I have around 70 photos on this phone. They average 2MB each.

Nandroids?
I only have one nandroid back up. The files in the backup folder aren't particularly large though.

Download Es file explorer, once inside click menu "3 dots" click manager then click SD card analyst. It will show you what your apps are eating or various things being stored. Most likely my guess is a bunch if non sense thumbnails. Probably a bunch of small files.

Glad I found this. Was finally able to locate some old game files that were taking up 3 GB !!Thanks!
I have the exact same problem and this worked, but when I delete it it says the space is free, but j get out and go back and the files are all back again. Its been like this ever since I rooted and unlocked my phone.
Anyone know which folder the game is downloaded to on the sdcard? I recently bought Modern Combat 4 but it says there's not enough space on my sdcard. I want to delete the game data from 3 to make room for 4.
Look in the file 'android'. Scroll thru and see if the game info is in there. Allot of app data gets stored in that file.
Good luck, I hope it's in there for ya.

What is changing to a new rom going to do for him? If his music is gone it's gone... Unless I'm missing something? Why isn't your music on your computer or somewhere else? How did you get it on your phone, lol? If it some where and you can't find it, pull everything from your storage places and put them on your PC and search both files with in your computer search index and see if you can find them... If they are there, then create a folder named /music and you will good to go. If they aren't there then get new music or however you got them there in the first place.
Im really getting fed up whit this ... The way it makes another folder where everything elses moves there is really nonsense i have lost all my game data's also my titanium backup

So i downloaded all of my musics whitin my device reason i never store music on my pc is because i barely do use it...
I guess i could do that too but i once remember i restored an backup and everything was in its place ? Its weird..
Also since i use various apps to get my music they are in different folders there js nothing inside my /music folder is this anything bad ?
I could download the music back also but takes quite a while + my lost game datas and precious images :/
Off topic : thoughts on the xperia t ? Im wanting to buy one..

I would start putting the music somehwere other then only on phone storage, just in case. I've accidentally wiped internal storage once, and I've had External sdcards go bad or just randomly out of no where lose all data in it. make a dropbox and do TiBu once a week and move them there your self with some type of file manager if you don't wanna pay the money for Titanium Backup pro. I also bet all your stuff is there you are just looking in the wrong places. What file manager are you using to look for your "lost stuff"?

Yeah dropbox is a good idea and i use root explorer and oi file manager tried whit both same results folders are not being shown but if i restore my nandroid backup they all come back ? Until i come back on a 4.2 aokp/aosp rom..

list all the areas you are looking for the media... what is your recovery?
Aokp is awesome ROM. I dont mean to be rude but if you think those files are still there (in your phone) ;install different ROm or restore backup and pull al data from it. And wipe both internal and external cards. Amd install aokp and enter those files again via PC.

As the title mentiones, my device is out of memory. Like none. Even if I install a new rom the phone storage is still low cant even update all my apps because there's no space on my device. I tried apps to see whats taking up the huge space but there all worthless really cant delete from the app. Dont want to delete important files either so question is how can I get ride of all this crap the phone doesn't need?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
silly question, but once it was done calculating did you tap on one of the sections to see the individual files and there sizes? i was coming close to having this issue, until i went through each of those sections with a fine tooth comb. it was then i found piles of old downloaded files just stock piled....ended up clearing 3 gigs.
Let that screen sit for a minute to let the calculations finish. Then select a category (like miscellaneous). Then check which files you like to delete. The hidden thumbnail folder can get big, much like other app folders that cache info.

Have you possibly flashed any aosp or cyanogen roms. Could possibly have files built up in an O folder on your internal sd card

In my screenshot above, that 2+GB TWRP folder has only 1 backup of the data partition. Moving these backups to external SD can open a lot of internal storage space.

I can't for the life of me find this directory. When I last installed a nandroid it showed /media but it's not there. I have looked in almost every folder. Before flashing to 4.3 my nandroid was in sdcard/twrp but not anymore.
Also is there a difference between sdcard0 and emulated?? I swear I should have a lot more space then I do. Was wondering with these two directories are the files doubled or are they in fact just mirrored.

The 0 folder gets created when any CM based Rom is installed. Just copy the contents of your SD to the 0 folder and keep both.
There is a logcat file that grows each time you install a CM ROM. It's in /root on stock, and in /mnt/shell/emulated in CM Rom's.
TWRP looks in the 0 folder or /data/media/0
Edit: Ooops forgot to say you can delete that logcat

Thanks for the quick reply! The log cat is only 10mb so no biggie. I still can't find my backups though looking where you said. I tried to delete my old nandroids with rom toolbox but they didn't delete.

You sure you didn't delete them too?
Try /mnt/sdcard, or /mnt/shell/emulated.
If you still can't find them, reboot to TWRP, see if they show, then boot up ROM
Use a rooted explorer on your phone to find them. Your computer my not show them yet....but eventually. Sometimes its a bugger to get the files to show up.
Wow. Finally found it. Swear I looked here a million times but it was in /data/media/twrp/backups
Root browser in rom toolbox wouldn't delete them but es file Explorer did. Got 1.7gb back. I only need one nandroid!
Still would love to know where the rest of my space is though. May have to do a full wipe at some point.
Thanks for the help engine!!

Yeah i was wondering if all those mirrors are taking up extra space. I have the same folders in like 4 different places all with different dates on them. I have only 8gbs free. Pics are like 1.5gbs and music is 8gbs. My backups and old rom downloads are about 4gbs. No way my apps take up the rest of the space. I don't even have any games installed right now.

I think that's what happened to me. I bounced between stock, nexogen, cm 10.1 and all the 4.3 roms.
Downloaded a disk usage app and honestly with their breakdown it actually adds up. I also didn't take into account system data. I takes up 2gbs on its own. I thought that would have been included in the 7gb unusable we have.
Plus i guess there are some residual cache issues. Those 0 folders have cache files from old programs. I found 500mb cache file from spotify and I haven't had that installed for a few weeks. Plus i found a 500mb logcat file.
I guess i'll do more digging and clean it up. I don't feel like wiping internal right now.

Could just hook it up to a computer, open the storage then right click and arrange icons by size so you can see the big folders first. Faster than just going folder to folder
