How to delete .dat files - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im running ARHD 34 Lollipop and have some .dat files on the internal sd card.
It's mostly "leftovers" from deleted apps, e.g. TomTom navigation, where there is a Tomtom folder with a "currentmap.dat" file, so i can't delte the folder.
If i browse the phone storage from my PC i can delete folder, but it's back after reboot.
And if i open the folder i can't wiew the .dat files.
Does anybody know how to delete the .dat files?

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?

goto remove programs itll be on the list and when ur done with that goto ur storage and delete the andboot folder
cant find anboot folder
If there is a folder called Android, delete that. If the andboot and android folders don't exist, you're going to have to delete the files manually.
Delete the following files and folders from the root of your microSD card (if they exist): HaRET.exe, default.txt (or startup.txt depeding on your setup), data.img, rootfs.img, zImage, system.sqsh, any of the FSCKxxxx.REC files, "AndroidApps" , the "conf" folder, the "cache" folder, the "download" folder, the "media" folder , the "startups" folder, and the "wallpapers" folder. That should be most or all of the files used by Android.
thanks master

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.

[Q] es file explorer deleted my files

So I was trying to move my files from whatever directory they were in to my storage since I had just gone from tw to miui so the directory change mess up thing happened. It would go and overwrite the new empty same name folders but nothing would show up I go back to the directory they were in and everything was gone. Restart my phone and some showed up and managed to transfer only a small portion of my pictures and some other files. My music files and some of other folders I tried transferring again and it would seem like everything went well but they wouldn't show up in my storage folder and it disappeared from the original folder it was in. They got deleted. I had about 3gb of free storage now I have 9. Sigh. So is there anything I can do to recover my files? I'm about ready to toss this phone out the window I've never had problems with es until now.
I know that there are file recovery programs for Windows and macs. You'll need to Google it because I can't remember what it's called.
I think is Recuva.
Sent from my SPH-L710
You can use data recovery tool to recover deleted files from ES file explorer. See this step by step ES file explorer deleted files recovery tutorial.
hope this helps.
