As the title, is it normal if we get those folders after update to 4.2 ? Because as far as I read the problem when updating to 4.2 is only 0 folder.
I was using PA 2.54 that based on 4.1.2. I have installed latest TWRP. Then made a factory reset, after that I flashed PA 2.99. And it created those folders. Please help. Thanks.

After reluctantly accepting the 4.2 ota, i also gained legacy and obb folders in data/media. I do have emulated showing, but im still confused at this point. Google made some waves.

and this is why I want a physical SD card in my phone... this emulated BS is driving me crazy today... over already accidentally deleted files thinking this so called linked directory was not a real directory ... it is in fact a fake directory with real actions... come on google... 1 directory to call home... not the multi linked mess of fake folders ....

Does anyone know what directories/folders are safe to delete? I have an entire duplicate of everything across two folders.
They reside here.
/storage/emulated/legacy/0/
/storage/emulated/0/0/
They are exact duplicates. Same size, etc.
Which is safe to remove? I searched for like a day on this forum, and many others. I have been trying to figure out which is safe to remove, but I am more confused now then ever. :silly:
I feel like just picking one to delete to free up space and if I muck up, I'll restore from a Nandroid.
The 0 folder is the new directory.
located at data/media/0
Created when you upgrade from 4.1.x to 4.2.1
The other folders you see are links to these folders, not duplicates of what you have stored in these folders.
Installing the latest recoverys will take care of the extra 0 folders ie 0/0/0
If you delete the folders from one of the link folders, you may delete the actual folders. They don't take up space.

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I do have the latest recovery, but apparently if you updated to the latest CWM after moving to JB 4.2 you are still gonna get the folders. Updating before going to 4.2 would have prevented this. Well, this is what I get from reading other messages and forums.
So I am wondering if there is another way to sort these so it's not so confusing.
If not, I'll accept it and may roll back to 4.1, update my recovery, then flash the 4.2 rom.

i'm still not sure what the actual presentation of the data loss that i heard about was, it wasnt people simply not finding the right path to the data was it? but i also dont get why so many people are so keen to remove a link to their internal memory. Why is it so bad for it to be there? just dont go into the folder
a lot of people seem to get that it is an exact mirror (it's just like a shortcut in windows), so just use one, and whats the bother?

They arent exact mirrors. The fact that I have to go through four virtual SD cards to find something I downloaded that's buried in one of them. Its a total pain. Which one is the real one?

From what i see, reverting back to 4.1 won't do it.
You have to go back to a particular stock 4.1 then install latest CWM recovery. untested by me. There is a guide around but i've lost the link.
For me I did a full manual wipe of everything (including SD card), then a manual reinstall of cwm and a 4.2 rom.
I have a 0 folder, but i don't have a 0/0/0 folder created when switching between roms.
Need someone clever to write a clear guide and have it stickied
I too would be interested to know if a solution has been found yet. My legacy folder is taking up more than half of my internal storage. Is it safe to delete?

I didn't think my dirs were duplicated at first, and the other day I investigated more. One directory structure looks exactly the same, but when I went thru the diff folders and compared between the two, alot of the folders didn't have the same contents. Some folders were even empty and it's clone had data in it, settings and whatnot.
I may post a screenshot once my phone is charged.
/emulated/legacy/0/0/
Is completely different from
/emulated/legacy/0/
The data is diff sizes if you compare both of those folders.
Why Android went this way by setting user accounts/profiles is beyond me.
Here is an example pic. I am not going to take screenshots of everything tho, obviously.
On the left all the folders and data is older then the data in the directory on the right, so I am thinking it is probably safe to delete the older data.
Any ideas?
Here is another example.
What is in the legacy folder on right, is totally diff from what is on the left, but in this case, the data on the left is now the newest data, where the right has no data at all.
Just noticed /emulated/legacy/0/0/0/ also has totally diff contents then the first two I mentioned and the folders vary in size dramatically.
It's a bit frustrating.
EDIT: Added another pic.

Please correct me if im wrong in my thinking. Its normal if I flash from 4.2 (for a day or to) then flash back using a nandroid to 4.1 to have a left over 0folder sitting in my main storage SDcard0?
So when im back on 4.1 I have Sdcard0/0 thats where it ends for me as of now. I flash back and forth all the time. I also get legacy folders but as of yet there always emty. The 0folders left over (mind you im on 4.1) im only testing 4.2 but the left over folder 0 does contain a lot of folders though only data is located in the duplicate android folder.
Questions so being that im on 4.1.2 again what do I do with the left over folders? Up till now I just use windows copy them over and let all the folders merge. Seems to work most the time but It can cause issues.... there gotta be better way? How come I get left over crap in a 0 folder every dang time I flash back from 4.2 to 4.1
Thats normal? Oh BTW im on newest TWRP installed from GOO. I am running Jellybam 4.1.2 I don't delete folders just merge them back into my other folders but maybe I shouldn't do this?
I dunno when im on 4.2 I don't have any issues except that I think this concept is some stupid guys idea of trying way way to hard to be smart. Smoked a little ot much weed before he came to work ya know?
Please
1. What do we do about 0 doler / legacy folder when we flash back to 4.1
2. Whats normal... what should we except when flashing from 4.1 to 4.2 assuming we have newest TWRP or CWM
3. Anything else you think you should add
4. whats your home launcher

I use Apex Launcher but you don't see it in the images. I think you are referring to FlashFXP which is a file manager I use to move files and folders between my PC and my phone, and to move files and folders between diff folders on the device itself by connecting to my phone in two instances.
It's my understanding the "0" folders are designated for the different user accounts.
If you go to JB 4.2. and then go back to 4.1 I believe the files from your 4.2 install remain intact(Or at least the file structure). No data is actually wiped unless you intentionally do so.
Now, I am just someone who flashes casually and I wouldn't consider myself an expert. I am confident in my skills, just not at a point where I can say anything with serious conviction. So your mileage may vary.
I actually found out which set of folders were the ones in use, and I ended up doing a nandroid, and then deleting everything else on my phone to be safe. I have rebooted several times and haven't had any issues. This was a few days ago.
Remember too, if you restore from an older nandroid from a prior firmware version it will roll back whatever kernal you currently have, etc. It basically brings your phone to the exact state it was in when you did the backup.
Good luck with whatever you do! :cyclops:

I deleted the undetectable, sneaky, linked legacy/emulated folder because it was in /sdcard. So it portrayed itself as another folder, but in it's entirety was the /sdcard itself masquerading as emulated/legacy causing ones mind to think it is an expendable piece of foolery. Linked folder(/sdcard->emulated) contains emulated folder which links sdcard, but it was placed in sdcard so it's entire existence is invalid. Inception eh.

Could you give us all a pointer as to which folders you found safe to delete--I'm sure that we could all do with getting that bit of extra storage??
Hey,
I went back to 4.1.2 (JellyBam) after using 4.2.1 (PA ROM). But there's a 0 folder inside my internal memory folder which leads to all my real files (music, pics etc etc).
So it's like.
-sdcard0
.....-0 (Folder)
..........-DCIM
..........-Downloads
..........-Music
..........-Titanium Backup
..........-etc etc etc
.....+'Music' which is empty
.....+'Downloads' which is empty
.....+etc etc etc
I searched on XDA, but the only solutions I found were:
1. copy every file to my computer, delete the 0 file (or not) and then put the copied files from my computer onto my phone. But there was no progress in the copying process as it was freezing.
2. Format everything, recovery, and some other things I didn't understand.
So I came here asking for help. Hopefully someone knows any other answer.
P.S. I know I can just chance the location of my backed-up files from TB, so there's no problem in that case.
But it is just annoying and sometimes it confuses me.
Thanks in advance :good:
I'm thinking of the same I'm not digging 4.2.1 that much.

I believe in 4.2 the /0 folder is the new location for the pseudo SD card instead of under /storage/
That's 4.2+ file structure to support multiuser and mentioned in dozens of threads. Just learn to live with it. Google knows what they're doing.
Meh well that's gonna be 4.2.1 for me...this is way too annoying with the files and folders

I went back to CM10 (4.1.2) from CM10.1 (4.2.1) and just found it easiest to backup all my files and format the storage. Windows wasnt seeing the storage correctly until after I did that.

What recovery are you using?
The issue is with resets and CWM recovery. The problem is your app back ups get covered under 0,0,0 and can't be restored, music apps can't see music, gallery can't see pics etc.
Switch to TWRP Open Recovery and the 0 problem goes away.
Best way to get your SD back in line is to use your PC to move everything back up where it should be. Hope this helps, freaked me out when I thought I lost my SD.

I think some of you aren't understanding the OP's question. He doesn't dislike the /0 file structure (or maybe he does, but I don't think that's the point he's making), he just doesn't want to keep it when downgrading to 4.1.2. That's perfectly understandable to me, and actually something I've been thinking about for a couple weeks.
OP- You have a few options. I think the simplest is to go ahead and flash a 4.1.2 ROM, then use a file explorer on the phone to cut from the /0 directory and paste straight into the main sdcard directory. Option 2 is to use a PC and cut and paste the same thing, but I don't know how quick it would be. Another possibility is to copy everything off your phone onto your PC, then format the storage on your phone, then copy everything from the PC back to /sdcard/. This is probably the cleanest and safest option, but also slowest. I'm sure there is also a way to do it with ADB, where you cut and paste from /0 to /sdcard/, but I'm no good with ADB so somebody else would have to give you the commands. ADB is most likely going to be the fastest method as far as file copy progress, but that's only a guess. I'm sure there are several other options I'm not aware of, but those are the ones I've thought of while thinking of doing this on my phone.
Good luck! Let me know which works for you and how it works........
I went back to a 4.1 ROM at one point and it did not immediately move everything back where it could be seen even with the latest recovery. I found that the easiest fix was to plug the phone into my computer right after the first boot and then move the data to the right folders with adb. Very quick and painless. TWRP does the fix going from 4.1 to 4.2 very nicely.
Downgrading to 4.1.2 from 4.2.1
I'm downgrading because I'm have a ton of blue tooth issues. I'm currently backing up my SD to my laptop then from win explorer I'll copy everything from /0 to the top SD directory. It's not any fun at all.
I wonder how many people will actually use the multiple users on their phone/tablet?

Tablet - maybe

I know I should have plenty of storage on my phone but it seems I dont. I have 2.23 GB left and I know I should have more. If anyone is willing to explain more in detail it would be greatly appreciated.

Bump. I'm having a bunch of issues with this. I went from stock rooted to AOKP, and now TWRP won't recognize my backup so that I can go back to stock. It's really annoying. I'm not having any luck with any partition I copy the backup to. Does anyone know of a way to restore stock factory partitioning? Even doing an LGNPST of ZV9 and then taking the OTA doesn't fix the partitioning. I've tried everything I can think of and I'm out of ideas.
Use a root file browser your stock storage is in mnt/shell/emulated so once your in that Ares look for your twrp folder copy the backups inside it then paste then into the twrp in sdcard0 ..... to sum up you haven't lost anything these cm/aosp ROMs create a new storage (sdcard0) so just take anything you normal store in your stock storage which is now mnt/shell/emulated and place it in sdcard0 or redirect apps looking for files to look in those places
I'm not sure about deleting those files in the stock storage though unless you have no intention in returning to stock cause if you delete them then return to stock they will be missing and vice versa

You likely still have the old "sd card" from a previous stock install. Use a root file explorer, like ES File Explorer, and navigate back to the root directory. You will likely have a directory called "mnt". Navigate to that folder and open the "sdcard" folder. You'll find whatever you used to have on your sd card from previous installs. I would save whatever you want to your new sd card directory and delete the entire mnt/sdcard directory. It might not allow everything to be deleted, but it should fee up that space you're missing.
*Note: The old files could be under mnt/emulated or some such directory, I dont remember. Just look around that folder to find those old files.
Hope that helps!
I'm having the same issue with this folder. I see that it is mirrored because i added a file in the sdcard0 folder it showed up in the sdcard folder. But i also found the same folders in the mnt folder. So are they all mirrored files or are they actually taking up space? Is there a way to format the space? Will the rom still boot up? Also, had that 0 folder on my sdcard, but am not able to delete it just rename the folder.
I'm running nexOGen 1.6 if it makes a difference. Hope someone can help.
thanks!
For some strange reason i have the normal internal memory but also another one under the 0 folder inside of the internal memory. So now i have excessive memory lost because i have two of everything plus some other files/folders inside each memory unit. This is real confusing for me but i noticed it started after i installed JellyBeer, i switch back and forth between JellyBeer and stock and Vectus. Vectus and stock both use the same memory but jellyBeer has its own little thing goin on. TWRP also uses the second 0 folder as its main instead of the actual main one, ES Explorer uses the main one, SMS Backup And Restore uses the second one, MyBackup Root uses the main one after i set it to, and on and on with apps that deal with files. Only one that works right no matter what is music, even download folder is wrong. Any suggestions???, if u understand what im trying to say. Also theres another copy of everything in the data/media folder. So in total i have 3x as much space token from me.
Very well documented, you should search it.

Surprisingly I had the same issue. It was reading from two different spots but when I plugged into a computer it only read from one, I couldn't save all my stuff cause I couldn't get to it. The only way fix it is unroot back to stock and reroot the device. That's what I did anyway, and it fixed it. I think its from flashing ROMs cause it never happened before I gave cm a try. I hope this helps in any way.

The 0 folder is a feature of AOSP ROMs. It has something to do with the multiple user support of JB. When you flash an AOSP rom, it will create a "0" folder for that specific ROM. Even with an app like Root Explorer, getting into the standard SDCard folder will be basically impossible. I personally have not found a way to do this, but I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than I could. Interestingly, the reverse is not true. If you flash a Stock ROM, a la Lifeless 14, you can go into any and all "0" folders. If you take the time, you can go into each and every one and delete it without any harm to your phone without having to do a factory reset.

just to throw it out there flash the original stock rom before going to lifeless... if you dont its not gonna work out well and u just have to be rooted all in all to see the "0" folder...
Well honestly that seems to be a lot of work for something simple if you have to partions and can only see the 0 folder simply use any root explorer and go to root>data>media and you will find the rest of you files there

so for a while ive had these /0/ folders cropping up each time i install a new rom. What will essentually happen is a new /0/ folder will pop up with all the normal android folders in it but then another one will apear after a new rom is installed. When i connect to a computer i cant ussually see all the /0/ folders. Recently i formated my SD card through CWM but it still is making new /0/ folders. Its really annoying, anyone have a possible fix?
I have the same problem very annoying. Computer can't read them as you say. Also I can't use those scripts that auto flash your ROM or mod since recovery cant find anything since it don't read that 0 folder

Sounds like the 0 folder bug. Make sure you are the most up to date recovery, if you keep getting them just move all of your important info to the first 0 and delete the others inside of it.

So if i update my recovery it should stop this? Should i use CWM or the other?

I am running the current TWRP and I don't get it anymore. I am sure the CWM would have this fixed by now also though.
