I accidentially deleted misc. files from Snapchat because it took up so much space. I did not think that these files were the pictures I saved. Is there any possibilities to restore these photos? Is it possible to root my phone somehow and get these files back?
Thanks in advance for any answers!

Probably depends on how the app works. Go to Play Store page - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...droid&pcampaignid=APPU_1_3XKqV-uiFoKQaNbQvNgN - and scroll down to 'contact developer' or whatever and send them a msg.

I mistakenly rooted my phone without doing any sort of backup's, was using Toolkit to backup up all my files but for some reason it didn't backup anything, the backup folder is fully empty, lost all my pictures/videos etc..
Is there a way I can recover them by connecting my Gnex to the PC or something? are there any programs made especially for such purpose? please help guys.
Thanks.

Nope, not that i've heard of.
You're kinda SOL, sorry. Especially because you can't mount the storage as UMS, so normal recovery tools wouldn't even have a chance.
That's sad..
However guys, I had the Gallery folder (DCIM) on my PC like 1 week ago, I copied it to my PC as a backup but deleted it as well couple of days ago, I tried looking for it on Recuva but I couldn't find it, I found pictures/videos deleted way before my Gnex files, I didn't find a single picture or video of my Gnex gallery.. does it make a difference if you deleted the whole folder having all the files in it rather than the picture/video itself? is there a way to recover the whole folder along with it's deleted files? a program made for that, I don't mind buying it if it can recover the folders or at least it's files.
Tried Recuva as I said but It didn't catch the folders, only pictures/videos files.. I recovered them all and I found not a single picture or video of the DCIM files I deleted couple of days ago.
Thanks.
Greetings.
I have the ICS updated Xperia ION. The issue is that when I take an image and try to download it, it isn't where I expect it do be... in the DCIM folder. There isn't anything in there.
I did find a ton of images in a "thum" folder but they are all thumb nail images.
With this camera I was expecting larger images to use and download.
Could someone give me a clue where the images are stored and downloadeable from.
Thanks.

There is a setting in camera to choose storage location. I believe this affects all photo storage, not just pictures taken. Xda app saves into the xda_downloads folder on the internal memory. Haven't figured out how to change it to external memory.

Yeah make sure you are looking at the right storage. If you have a removable SD card it will show up as /ext_card The stock camera might be saving pics there. What you can do is go to the picture in the Albums app and when you look at a picture hit the menu button and hit details. It will tell you where the picture is stored.
thanks tons
Thanks for both answers! I will check and see.

Hi guys, I am facing the same problem after updating to ICS. I checked the path of the pictures, as you suggested, which shows: /mnt/ext_card/DCIM/100ANDRO. The 100ANDRO folder shows only older images taken pre update to ICS. I tried the Windows 7 search option to search for a specific image inside the entire Xperia folders based on name to no avail.
The camera storage is set to SD card.
If one of you reached a resolution, please share. Thanks.
If you are DOWNLOADING pictures, they tend to go to downloads in your phone memory or onto root of your phone memory /mnt/sdcard sdcard being the internal for ext_sdcard is external. Try there ladies and gents,
Edit- I don't think /mnt/sdcard would be considered root actually, but you get what I mean.
Edit2- I get things going to /mnt/sdcard if I DL it from my email, I guess that would be a good thing to add as well, only time I can think of that I DL any pictures. Anything from text goes to DCMI

There's apps in playstore that might help but you would have had to do it right after your deletion. If you haven't then it's gone because then the memory containing the information is used to store other information. Its still worth a shot

Try doing a quick search on Google Play Store for keywords related to recovery, files, etc.
Btw was the video residing on the memory card or the internal memory? There are PC softwares that try to recover files from memory cards like Recuva or Pandra File Recovery. But recovery from flash memories is usually ineffective if new data has been written on it which is mostly always happening on phone memory cards.
Hey guys,
Since a few months I've got the issue that the storage space on my phone is taken up by a lot of (or very big) files which I cannot see. Today my phone was full so I deleted all my offline music which gave me like 20GB back, but there's still only 23GB of free space left.
When I go to 'Internal shared storage' the thing that takes up most space is 'Other' which takes up 21.64GB. When I browse all files on my phone through a file explorer, I cannot find anything that could take up more than 21GB. I can't find anything when connected to my laptop either.
I was hoping that it was a bug I read about a long time ago, where a reboot would fix it. But nope.. Rebooting didn't fix anything.
I've got the feeling that my music was copied to my phone more than once, but I have no way of finding out?
Does anybody here know how to fix this by any chance?
Install Es explorer,Run Space analyzer,go to All files section.
You can probably find the missing spaces or who ate them.
Check out dcim/.thumbnails.

That helped! Somehow I couldn't see the TWRP backups through regular file explorer but ES File Manager showed me those files. Got some space back!!
Search & Download : Secure Eraser. It will help to clear unnecessary hidden storage without deleting your personal files
Press Thanks, if i helped u out !!
Use TWRP?
TWRP > restore > select backup -> delete backup
Looking to my storage details that has 100gb of 128 and now I see that system process name media storage takes 33gb.
What is this? Can I delete it somehow?
Maybe it because of Spotify? (That takes 12 gb by itself)
Thanks!
Empty all of your bins. Photos, Files etc.
It's just temp files in recycle bins.

I can see how much size the photos are taking, but I'm not sure what can I delete to clear this 33gb. What do I need to delete if I want to save (for now) my photos

Just go to the bin in Google Files or Google Photos and empty it. Maybe OnePlus Gallery or default file explorer too. Whichever one you use.

I deleted everything in Google photos and it was just 4 GB
The media storage is now taking 35gb
You could try clearing cache and storage from the applications on your phone, if you use stuff like telegram etc it tends to cache everything. It's gonna be a case of you going into each app and seeing how much storage it's using, also if you've submitted any logs to OnePlus they can be sizable!! My Chrome uses 650mb. I've just cleared the cache
Also if you go into settings>about device>storage you'll see :
