Remote image cache - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

In my sdcard folder there is a folder containing many images, none of which I recall seeing elsewhere. The folder is named Remote image cache.
What app creates the contents of this folder? How do I prevent it?
Thanks.

Deleting Windows/Rings folder to save memory

I notice that the ring-tone files are contained both within the Windows folder and the Windows/Rings folder. When I deleted the contents of the Widows/Rings folder I seemed to save a lot of memory with no ill effect. Can this be true or will a problem arise? Does anyone know why the files are duplicated in 2 folders?

Where does FPSE save the Saved Date?

I have made many saves on fpse but where are these files actually saved?
I have heard it should be in the .mrc or .mcd folder but I dont have them folders
I don't know. I tried finding them myself at one time but failed. They are burried within the system somehow.
What you can do is specify the path to your own "slot1.mcd" and "slot2.mcd" files by just creating two .txt files and rename them to those names. Though you will lose the saves you have in the other save files.
But there's an option to backup all files to sdcard in the "system" meny. Try doing that and go look on the sdcard for the .mcd files and then just put them somewhere and specify the location to them.
I used the backup option, then navigated to fpsebackuo folder on the sdcard and copied the files from the memcards folder. Now my memory cards are on the sd and not taking up space on the internal memory. Same thing works for save states, but its a different subfolder.
Thanks guys I used the backup idea. Managed to get a saving I had on my ps3 onto the xperia play
Its in /data/data/ by the way

I found mine at the main directory in your internal memory (by default I guess) under ".fpse". You might need to use a computer since that folder was not visible by my android file managers.
Hope it helps.

[Q] /Sdcard/Android folder

Anyone seeing two Data folders in their android folder on the sdcard. One is labeled "data" other one is "Data". only see this viewing the folder on the phone via root explorer. seems that there are files used by the system in both folders.

Confused by file system

When I plug my phone into my PC I can see a file on my SD card called 'Android' with my game data.
But when I open ES File explorer on my phone there is another file called 'android' (small 'a') which appears empty, but I can't delete it.
When I go up to root /data/media I can see what looks like my SD card with the 'Android' and 'android' folders but there appear to be duplicate files while others are missing or moved.
I think after flashing new kernels this week there are duplicate files being created. I often have to re-download game data after flashing a kernel and I seem to be losing a lot of SD memory.
I just want to know which folders should I delete?
Using superuser permission should allow you to delete the "android" folder or file. If ES Explorer don't work, try Root Explorer or do it in adb if you know how.
In linux file systems, A and a can be two different files or folders.
Or you can reflash google factory image and that will wipe the entire internal storage.
Thanks.
I managed to delete both the Android folders.
Had to re-download all my game data but I've ended up with about 3 gig more memory.

What rom/system were you using before? In some situations when installing new rom version over the old without doing full wipe there are leftover files from old installation.
Using root explorer go to /storage/sdcard - list what is in there
go to /storage/emulated - there should be 2 directories there: 0 and legacy - list what is in there
lastly go to /mnt/shell/emulated - list what is in there - if you see there directories like "0", "legacy" then it's your original internal sd directory.
Now while installing new rom, almost all files from that directory should be moved to "0" directory for multiuser environment configuration, but sometimes they are not - the will be normally not visible in settings>storage information creating lost space" phenomena
Now comes the hard part - you can delete almost all files and directories except "0" and "legacy", but there may be some config files from your recovery and/or backup files from the same source (those directories will have in their names some familiar words, for example: devil, agni, clockworkmod, twrp) - you should not touch them. Browse directories (except "0" and "legacy") for old program data, obb files and directories, media, music and video files and delete them as they are not visible to your media players or programs. They are a bit like old "program files" and "documents" from Windows world

Were you in the root folder when you started searching for mentioned folders? Root folder is the topmost folder with main subfolders (etc, system, sys, storage, mnt and others) - there is no way that you would not find "storage" folder - it MUST be there.

It's a bit of a misunderstanding: Root folder is the main folder of whole file system, but it is also a simple folder named "Root" in the root folder (or otherwise called root directory) of the file system. It's the same if you crated in some directory a new directory and named it "directory" Easy, yes?
In the root directory you should have some typical directories: cache, config, d, data, dev, efs, etc, lib, mnt, proc, sys, system, storage and others
There must be a directory named "storage" and there must be a directory named "mnt" - those are the ones I was writing about before, please follow that.
Oh, and under any circumstances do not delete /dev (even if Android would allow that).

There are a lot of duplicate directories like that because they are virtual directories, like shortcut files on Windows , but unlike in Windows they have the size of all children files (with some exception. It is complicated and hard to describe without .... a lot of explaining for which I have no time ) The directory /mnt/shell/emulated is of interest to us, in enclosed picture you can see "User directory" that contains all files that your current profile uses, some directories in pink - they may be there or they may not be, but you should not under any circumstances delete them, directories in green are free to delete. Please list any other directory you will find there and their sizes so I can advise what to delete.
