I have a lot of music on my internal SD card and I can find all of these while I'm on a TouchWiz ROM. But as soon as I flash an AOSP ROM (for example I'm using MIUI right now) I cannot find these files or folders where these files are. Also, note that in order to flash a new ROM from TouchWiz, I have to move the ROM from the download folder into "0" and put it in the root of the "0" folder.

I don't have much experience with anything other than touchwiz, but try connecting to your computer and move all music from internal onto external. Not sure why it's not picking them up. Maybe you wiped all your files when transferring between touchwiz and the other?
I didn't wipe them because if I go back to TouchWiz I will have them all. But I will connect it to my laptop to see if they are visible there. I have no external SD card. Also all of those files are under "miscellaneous" in the MIUI file explorer.

I use Titanium Backup to save and load all my apps when I flash a new ROM. I started using a 4.2.1 ROM and wanted to go back to a 4.1 ROM to get the basic Samsung settings. However, when I flash a 4.1 ROM and run TB it says I do not have any files to restore. But then in a 4.2.1 ROM they are there. Is there a way to convert the apps back to 4.1 so they run on an older OS.
Thanks
I could be wrong but I think you have to move the TB files because 4.2 creates the 0 folders

When you went to 4.2 the system moves all your files to the O folder in storage. On 4.1 it's looking for them where they originally where. You can copy and paste everything back to its original location but you can not move them at this point.

Do I just need to move the whole folder to the root of my SD card? Or how do you get rid if the 0 folder?

Copy and paste back in the root folder in original location do not delete or cut

Could you walk me through how to move the file? I went into my file manager and copied the TB folder and pasted it back on my extSD card. Then I took all the files in the TB folder and copied them into a different folder and named it TB2 and still nothing.
Never mind I found it had to relocate the backup file in the sdcardO folder.
Well ever since I went on to 4.2 my internal drive has emulated and legacy and like 3 versions of my SD card. If I download a file that's a 100 megabytes, my phone triples it and I lose 300 megabytes, my storage folder looks like this,
storage>emulated, sdcard0, sdcard1, usbdisk0
Then in emulated...
emulated>0, legacy
Inside "0" and "legacy" are exact copies of my SD card (sdcard0)
Does anyone know how to remedy this, its ridiculously annoying, thanks in advance...

You could always format data and re-flash your rom. I believe this happened because your recovery was not up to date. Since i have updated to TWRP 2.4.1.0, I do not have this issue. I have read that you can copy the files to where they should be and delete the folders. I would search in this forum for emulated storage and see what comes up.
Ah arite I'll try that, but as for the formating data, I do that every time I flash a ROM (mounts&storage>format data), do you mean formating SD card? But yeah def gonna update my recov. Thanks dudette

Are you sure you lose 3 times the file size in storage space? I don't have a 4.2 ROM, but it looks to me that your files aren't duplicated in multiple folders. Instead, "0" and "legacy" are more than probably just links/shortcuts to the same storage space in your SD card.
Lol yes I'm positive, its ridiculous, and if I delete something on one of the folders, its deleted on all of them, ugh...

Same thing happened on my SGS2 running the newest AOKP. The fix is that you have to format the internal sdcard. There were many users that had multiple "0" folders. I only had one but did notice that I lost some files or thought I did. They were in one of the legacy folders though. They were all my old nandroid backups. So back up anything you need from your internal sdcard to somewhere else and reformat it. Then add them back in. It is a different format on how/where files are stored.

Is just for multiple users. Just Merge them together and update to latest recovery and it won't happen again.

Go to data media folder beside a single 0 folder delete or move everything to data/media to data/media/ 0. Problem solved. If got more then one 0 folder such as data/media/0/0 you will have move everything from the 2nd 0 folder to the first. To repeat data/media should only contain a single folder named 0. Everything should be inside data/media/0 that's your internal sd card. If after you move delete everything in data's media folder a few folders pop back no problem but no files. Look for hidden files. Also update to latest recovery. Data/media old sd. Data/media/0 New sd..
Data/media/0 /0 is old recovery issue A's bad. It won't go away on its own but will stop multiplying once update recovery check my Sig my twrp listed goes drop box with all latest recoverys.
Clean data/media out but check before delete **** if you need anything just move to data media/0 and don't delete the first 0 folder
K buddy good luck search for more info

I need to clear up some internal storage, and I need to know which folders are safe to be removed (a lot of old apps still have their data there, but they are not named well, so I do not know which files will screw up my phone or stock functionality if deleted).
Use stock my files if you want to do it individually and better back up all and format internal itself.

+1 for intsd backup then format.
When I run out of internal I look at the clockwork folder, download folder, and goo manager folder when I've been using it. But that's if you've been downloading ROMs, etc. I download a ROM or two daily. You can fill up even with the 32s fast

I have just started to use PACman Rom and i kind of like it. But the problem is that the files and folders from the previous stock rom are missing both in my PC and phone. But the usage of the internal storage doesn't change at all.....Can someone help me??
Your files probably didn't get moved to the correct location when you flashed the rom if you came from a stock based rom.
Navigate to /mnt/shell/emulated and they should be there. Move all the files /folders (apart from 0, legacy, and obb) to /sdcard

I did a few backups in twrp. Not sure if that's what is causing it. There are a lot of large data files in the miscellaneous tab. Four data.ext4.win and four system.ext4.win. What are these files for? Can I delete any of them?
Sent from my PACMAN'D Note II
Those are your backups. They use space on the phone's storage. Connect it to a PC and transfer the files off.
What's the best way to delete twrp backups? It seems like they get saved to 2 spots: \storage\emulated\0\twrp\backup and sdcard/TWRP. Then inside emulated is a copy of sdcard as sdcard0. Where is this emulated thing coming from? I think it's AirDroid. I tried uninstalling AirDroid, and deleting that while tree but I get an error in both root browser apps I use.

It's a legacy folder that is added when using CM builds. ..
Do a general search on the subject. ..and you'll find the full explanation for the "O" folder. ..g
