Hi all
Can I delete these files from my phone using windows explorer?
Sure you can. But you could as well use the stock file explorer.
Just be aware that you're dealing with more than one folder here (don't recall all of them: images, demovideo, ...)

Hi everyone. When I'm connected to my pc in MTP mode and try to browse, certain files and folders are invisible. The folders in particular I'm trying to access are my app folders under Android\Data\ specifically my kindle app folder to place a few pdfs to read in there. These folders were visible before I rooted my phone and installed my current ROM, also I know they are there because I can browse them in my file manager app. I am currently running the latest build of CM9.
If anyone could explain to me how to fix this issue that would be great. Also I know there are ways to still move my pdfs into this folder but I would prefer the simple copy paste route. Thanks.
Hello guys, just needed help renaming a folder on my HTC One X that I accidentally renamed, the folder in question contains the data and obb sub folders.

It isn't android,my android folders still there, hopefully this upload helps
Have you tried Root browser or ES File explorer or similar?
Whats in your Android folder , data obb should be in it. Phone maybe created a new Android folder when u renamed the old one.
Looking at the date of your Android folder it seems to have been modified today.
I checked the android folder it just contains the data folder.
Hi all,
Thanks for helping me out with this. When Jelly Bean was first announced I tried an unofficial ROM that was very buggy, so I went back to an AOKP ICS build. Since then I switched to CM 10.0 and continued to use it for a while until I heard about the recent Paranoid Android builds so I decided to give Jelly Bean another shot.
As we all know, Jelly Bean places its files inside a folder titled 0 (Zero) on the phone. When I upgraded the first time, all my files were automatically moved into the 0 folder and when I downgraded, they did not move back but I could still see and access the 0 folder with my old files in it. So far, so good.
Since I was using that configuration for a month I took a lot of photos and downloaded some files that I definitely don't want to lose. So imagine my surprise when I installed Paranoid Android and I could no longer access my old pictures and files!!
My guess is that the files are still on the phone's memory, but since the operating system now sees 0 as its root folder, it isn't aware of all the files existing outside that directory and can't physically access them using Astro or Android File Transfer (or Windows Explorer).
So my question to the amazing community here is this:
How can I access 100% of the phone's internal memory?
I assume there is a way to do this from recovery, but I don't want to do something that could potentially delete those files before I get to copy them to my computer and the folders inside the 0 directory.
Any and all help is appreciated! Thank you!
Use a root explorer (like ES File Explorer) and move the files into the relevant folder under 0
Hi,
i have the same problem than you ><,
appeared after flashing nightly CM10.1, the only solution to remove the folder "0" than I found is to save everything (by ftp because by usb connection I did'nt see my file) and formatted the sdcard ... not clean solution...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ES File Explorer is not working for that. It still doesn't see the old folders. Any other suggestions?
I tried using ClockworkMod recovery and selecting "Mount Storage" while connected to my computer but when I click "Mount Storage" nothing happens. Any help with this would be appreciated, because when I browse using ClockworkMod Recovery (like for a .zip to install) I can definitely see the old folders with the old files in them.
So this is a problem I've had basically since day one with my Nexus 7. No matter what file explorer I use, I can not edit anything in the root directories. Unable to save build.prop edits for example. I am assuming it is a permission thing but I have no idea exactly what I am doing wrong or how to fix it. Any help is appreciated.

Are you rooted? If you are - check to see if you are in read only mode in your file manager(s)
Besides requiring root, apps like ES File Explorer need to have root access turned on. Root Explorer needs a directory mounted as R/W.
Best practice, anyway, is to copy a file (especially build.prop) to a regular directory under /sdcard, edit it there, rename the original, then copy back the modified file.
I managed to figure it out. Was using cm file explorer and root browser. Got root browser working by changing permissions on the system folder.
I always copy files into the internal storage before editing. Thanks for the replies.

i don't know if this is a device specific issue but whenever i want to rename a folder, i simply can't. this happens with both my internal storage and my sd-card. if anyone knows whats going on here please let me know! edit: this was for the google files app only, using the built-in file explorer (only accessible via settings - storage) I could. google fixed the issue and I can now.
