I have a weird problem with the G4 memory showing all files and folders in windows explorer.
It began with Vuze downloads (torrents), everytime I wanted to see a downloaded file on PC I had to move it from the Vuze folder to another one so windows explorer can see it.
Now more files are not appearing in windows explorer, from both internal and SD card, I reinstalled the drivers 3 times but still my Windows 10 can't see all the files produced on the G4, example I copied an app from system partition to external SD, I can see it on Root Explorer on the G4 itself but not on Windows!
What is the fix?
Yes my phone is rooted
Ok I think I have found the problem:
Some third party apps that write on the G4 memory (SD included) like Vuze will not write it with hidden LG ''permission'' so the files are unviewable on PC.
I updated my Root Explorer app to latest one and now I can see the files I cut or paste with it on Windows.
I have found this ''bug'' thanks to the stock G4 File explorer as it was the only app capable to cut and paste in the G4 memory and let it show in windows.
Vuze looks like it needs to be updated by its maker so the files downloaded are visible in windows, until then I will have to move them using the new Root Explorer or the stock G4 file explorer

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.
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.

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.
What is the best file manager, where I can look at all my files on my SD card - and also delete them without connecting up to a PC?
Also trying to delete that stupid Elysium trailer.
What is the best app?
Thanks.

Total Commander, ESFile Explorer and Solid Explorer are amongst best android file explorers.
file manager
root explorer, root access is required, it help u to explore all of file in external/internal memory and ex-sdcard
it can work fine without root access but cant del file in internal memory. it work fast than every file explorer but ui is very simple
ESFile Explorer for me, rooted required.
Tried Astro and ES Explorer.
ES is much better, perfect. It lets me delete stuff, and is very slick. Also, no adverts (that I seen) unlike Astro.
Thanks.
I can not miss the opportunity to plug Total Commander. The Best file manager for Windows and Android.
The crazy bastards even support Windows 3.11 .
Hey everyone @crpalmer tagged you in case you could help
I am running Jrummy's Root explorer on the phone searching for some pictures on Dropbox.
I FINALLY found them in the /Mnt/sdcard/Android/data/... but i can't figure out where to copy and paste these imgs to so that my computer can 'see' them.
When i plug the tablet into the computer all that comes up is Internal Storage with 9 GB available and inside that i have only bare files like Alarms Android etc. But NONE of the folders have any of the phones files.
Basically i can't see anything on my tablet through my computer.
I tried pasting the file on System/root but the computer still doesn't show it!
Regards

UPDATE: i managed to stick a TINY 1 mb sd i had laying around and that changes things to where my i could copy things to the sd card and the computer sees that, but now the issue is the .jpg won't open correctly as they are too large or corrupted
wondering if this is a permissions issue
Flashed Jedi ROM to use the Samsung camera to film videos and when I went back to my daily driver ROM cm11 I see this folder in my internal storage. No file explorer will delete it successfully however the app root browser will say it has deleted successful but the file remains. Same for for when I plug it into my win7 PC. The folder contains sub folders one labeled kernel. Like I said nothing will delete this file.
Any ideas on this? Seems to not disrupt the phone but it's the fact that it will not delete that's upsetting me.
Thanks for your help.
Very strange. I wasn't able to delete it using ES File exp. but was able to using Root Browser associated with this. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox
Could copy all folders except V4A to your PC and then try to erase the internal memory and reload if nothing else
