When I checked my internal storage for space, I noticed a file in there taking up 8.5gb, and it's called .estrongs. Does anyone know what it is, and if it's safe to delete?

.estrongs is the recycle bin folder for the feature in ES File Explorer
Check your recycle bin in ES File Explorer

I tried to use ES File Explorer to do a multi-select, then copy, then paste to a drive on my PC across my WiFi network. For each file it said the paste failed...and the files are now GONE from my EVO SD card.
Is there a way to recover these files? Does ES File Explorer move them somewhere when trying to do the copy/paste?

So I'm slogging around with a file explorer looking at all the neat stuff in my rooted EVO 4G (rooted only). I see all the canned apps, like the Amazon MP3, Sprint crap - in the /apps folder....
...but where are all my downloaded/installed apps - the ones I haven't been able (or just chose not to) move to my SD card - things like the Astro file browser, or my Wireless Tether -- where are those .APKs? They're not in the same directory as the canned ones.

Depending on your configuration, your "3rd party" apps can be found in the /data/app folder
or
/system/sd/app folder
they are in /data/app
My data folder shows as empty in both ES and Astro. This some sort of file perm thing?

didn't have a system/sd/app folder and the /data/app folder shows as empty with both Astro and ES. I'm guessing it's a file permission thing, why I'm not seeing them with these phone browsers.

I use Root Explorer and they are indeed present. I just tried to view both folder via ES explorer and, you're right, it displays empty folders.

Yes sir, I did. I have /system/media then /system/tts - no /system/sd exists (or at least that Astro and ES are showing me).

Excellent, I'll give Root Explorer a looksee. Thanks very much for the help.
edit: just bought root explorer, went to /data/app - and there they all were. Thanks very much again.

Yea, astro and es file manager will show the folder to be empty, as they don't have permission to use them really.

Great googly moogly, lots of stuff in there.
I just wanted to satisfy my curiosity of "when I uninstall something, does every little bit of it go away, or does it leave crap in the system?"

You're very welcome, my friend. Also, get into the habit of copying those 3rd party apps to a separate folder on your SD card or an external drive, just in case.

I have titanium backup keeping copies to the SD card, plus sending to my dropbox. I'm also keeping copies of my nandroid and ruu there on dropbox, just for sanity sake.
The reason Astro and ES won't show anything in /data/app is because to access that folder in /data, you need Root permissions, which I'm guessing those apps don't get.
As RootExplorer's name suggests, it gets root and so can browse through that folder and others.
Like the title says I'm unable to install TB onto my Nitro running CM9 nightlies. The market keeps giving me the "insufficient memory" error but I can install other apps just fine. I don't know if it's the rom since I haven't seen other ppl posting about this issue but if anyone else has encountered it and knows the solution I'd greatly appreciate the help!
*Note*
I tried clearing cache, data, uninstalling market updates, the whole 9

Nice sarcasm...too bad I tried those methods already like I mentioned!
tried "the whole nine" isn't really giving anyone any idea what you have tried. !
nevertheless, the point of the google search i posted was to illustrate that this is a problem with the play store, not with the nitro specifically and since you asked if anyone else has encountered this problem in your OP, I concluded you are not aware that this is a known problem across devices.
there is a file like com.xxxxx.TitaniumBackup.odex some thing like that under
/data/app folder. Just delete that file and try to install again...

I don't have an app folder inside my data directory nor can I find any files with Titanium Backup in the name after running a search query in ES File Explorer...this sucks

everybody should have /data/app folder as its default. If you are your ES file explorer check on top, next to local.. it shows path of current directory.. may be you looking at /sdcard/data ... not that one ...tap on UP button on ES file explorer till you go to root directory ( it shows just "/" on top directory path )
there you should see /data/ and then app directory ...

Went into the settings and I didn't have root access checked. Checked it and was able to get to "/". Went to data and it was empty. Tried "Show hidden files" but it didn't do anything unfortunately

That's what I was doing wrong! Thank you so much! Got Titanium reinstalled now!
Whenever I try to move a file to internal storage when I connect my phone to laptop, it won't let me transfer. Same thing when trying file explorers on my phone.
ARHD, Elemental Kernel, S-off?
"Won't let me" means exactly what?
Maybe your firewall is blocking it?
Does your device show up as media device in WinExplorer?
What kind of files and size?
Have you tried Superbeam or Airdroid = transfer over WiFI?
Or even better: set up a shared folder (shared with everyone) on your laptop's C: drive, get File Manager HD or ES Explorer on your phone and transfer files via the network share.

I cannot write any files to my Viper4Android folder that I'm supposed to be allowed to (put IRS files in there). Computer and ES Explorer won't let me copy to that folder.

Check the folder's permissions. Long press and details
You sure the folder is not on the system partition which is write protected?
Post it's path

Nope - files are supposed to be copied there.
It says readable and writable :S
I can't even delete the folder. This makes no sense!

Do you have TWRP? Boot into it and under Advanced choose 'fix permissions'.

Tried dirty install, see if that works.
Yes I have TWRP, will try if dirty install of ARHD doesn't work.
