I can't for the life of me figure out how to delete the pre installed folders that came in the app tray.

Can't find downloaded apps file in astro. I've read that they should be in /data but nothing in there. I also tried searching in astro and nothing comes up. I am looking to change exdialer icon to stock.

Yes, they are located in /data/media or just /sdcard. Look at this thread and read through the posts to see if this is your situation.
If you're looking for the APK files they are stored in either /system/app or /data/app
No where to be found. Some apps are but most aren't.

You're not looking in the data folder on your virtual SD card are you?
Navigate to system/data/app
Not sure what icon Astro uses for "system" but it's likely a phone icon.

ASTRO doesn't have root capabilities, so I don't think it will work. Try root explorer or an alternative.
Well i dont know wich app got my gallery full of crap images and ugly icons, but not only that, i delete all those and also some old pictures and when I restart the phone and go to gallery theres all the crap i deleted again...
I dont know where they are but the system should respect my desition of delete that help?

Wonder if I have a virus cuz I try to delete the files with file explorer and it wont allow me to delete... I've deleted any kind of things with file explorer in the past

That images are usually saved by an application you installed previously..
Make sure no apps uses that images, and eventually consider uninstalling it
Well seems like is my sd blocking all kind of write/deletion action since i cant even take a screenshot or save anything im on AOKP Milestone 5 and francos kernel Milestone 3 Anyone having similar issue?

Beautiful Widgets would always save images onto my SD card.

I know there are apps like quickpic that do it, but the the new gallery is much better, so I hope there its a way around to hide folders in the new gallery

There's a QA forum separately, for future questions.
To answer to your question, place a ".nomedia" file on a desired folder containing the photos you want to hide using a file manager. It will hide photos from being indexed to phone thus making them unvisible in gallery.

Thnks fhilv....
Yeah but it's not practical to always do that,I was asking for some mod from a dev to enable such feature, also the share option in the new gallery is limited to certain apps, is there a way around to edit pictures from gallery with different apps like Photoshop touch

I am using this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tonado.boli.hermit.hider&feature=search_result
It remembers path, so hiding/un hiding quite easy
I'm using Hide It Pro its free on Play Store works flawlessly

Hey all. I've been busting my brain, downloading different file managers, playing with permissions and whatnot trying to delete a couple folders left over from Skynote Rom.There's a folder named "Z" on my internal storage that won't go away. That folder houses the sky note wallpapers and an LMT pie launcher apk. Its in two spots on my internal storage and neither will delete. Though it doesn't take up much memory, its annoying to see 3 skynote wallpaper galleries in my photo gallery every time.
Is there a way to delete these items through some file manager I've yet to try or maybe even through recovery mode? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

One other screenshot to show in gallery. This was taken after I already deleted two other skynote walls galleries.

Does this folder appear in data/media? Try deleting from that location.

Delete it using TWRP. Had that same folder and couldn't get it removed. Until I deleted it from the TWRP recovery..

In your CM explorer app...open settings and enable root mode.
then dump the files you want gone..
Be careful in there....the CM file manager will allow deletion of "any" file within the OS, while root mode is enabled....g

I can't seem to locate where Next Issue is downloading magazines too. My tablet only has 16gb on board so I'm hoping I can point the app to my external card where there is plenty of room.
Is there any way to figure out where the data is stored so I can create a symlink? Diskusage just jumps to the app manager instead of location

Are you asking about your? Galaxy Tab S
Yeah I have a galaxy tab s

Next issue is a tablet app. Symbolic links - you can create them using an app like solid explorer. I've done it before to move Google music downloads to my SD card before Google supported SD card

Most apps store data in Android/Data on either the internal or external sd card
