Lost.dir, what is it and can I delete it? It's taking up .9 GB of my sd card memory, is it safe to delete?

Yes. It is safe to delete. Its a remnant..err..a place where lost files are stored. Usually created when you unplug the phone without safely removing it. Safe to delete. Hope that helps.

On the sdcard/.android_secure/ folder.
You won't see it without a root file explorer because its a hidden folder in the linux format (.) in front of the name indicates it.
There's a couple of subfolders which contain detail programs or data.

I have a 16G memory card and it reads 12G used and 3.3 G remaining. I have about 3G if games from gameloft and barely 1G of pics 3.4G of backup data. When I select to see what apps are on sdcard it had a list of games and everyone of them gives me the option to move to usb storage. I've
Deleted a lot of stuff especially videos and pics and it seems like my memory card its congested. Do I need to format it to get it empty?

I'd hookup to PC and browse through files there, delete things you don't need like old roms and leftover garbage from old apps and see if that helps. Old nandroids take up a lot of space too.

Just google lost.dir and see what pops up. From my understanding in doing that a while back, this is kind of like a recycling bin area. I'm sure someone else on here can explain it in greater detail. I check that folder and delete it every now and again when I see it filling up. The phone will create that folder again on the next reboot.

Does anybody know how to save a playlist on ics alpha 1? Thanks?

Usually that data gets stored within the apk so if you have a root broswer find the data folder and copy your music application and paste it in your sd card this way you'll have a copy of the app with all the data still intact the next time you flash a rom

I upgrade from the SGS4g to the SGS2 tmo and I'm kinda confused about the storage directories. I'm seeing emsc, ex-sd and internal memory. I did a nandroid, call log, and sms bakups before flashing and now I can't find any of them. Thanx in advance for your time and effort.

What did u use for back up? Cmw rom manager or what? Saved files should be in there. As if u did a nandro you have saved it to ur PC/lappie. That way u can pull it from there

And forgot to mention as long as you don't format your external SD card you won't loose any of the data saved on it. I d/l any zips into my external that way my internal is not all bloated with a lot of stuff and slows down my phone.

For the life of me..I cant figure out why my internal memory is so full. Any ideas in how to clear it out? No music no pics only a few apps.

I found a huge directory called android.

Is that folder ok to delete? It has all my apps listed in it. That seems like all the data for all the apps.
Only delete if your want to get rid of the data. Programs store data there. Mine is huge because of the gallery app.
