Hi. It's like, where are these files?
My phone is full and I've looked everywhere trying to find where these files are that are taking up all my space.
The only folder I found anything in is always the DCIM folder, and all the others have no files in them. I've taken out and deleted all I can from all the hidden folders and my phone is still almost empty with space.
Anyone have this problem or know where to locate these files that are taking up all the space?
Thank you,
Rob

Hello guys,
I have a bigger problem I hope you can help me with...
My internal storage is somehow messed up. This has effects on MTP and on some apps like the stock camera.
When accessing my internal storage by MTP from PC, only a few folders and files are visible. In contrast, if I list the content of "/mnt/sdcard" or "/storage/sdcard0" they show all my files and folders as one would expect. Also, files visible on the PC are inside this path and even when i copy a file from the PC, it is placed here.
The more serious problem is, that some apps are not able to find their files and folders inside die storage anymore. As an example, the camera app asks me to insert a sd card before taking a picture and Winamp doesn't find my music anymore.
What i tried so far:
Copying files from and to storage with Dropsync, FolderSync and ES Explorer: works without problems
I checked the rights of the files with the terminal: nothing interesting there
I cleared my whole storage (thanks to Unlock procedure) and flashed a new Custom ROM
I drank a lot of coffee because it got late
Nothing worked.
Please help, Thanks!
So thats me again.
I finally found the correct allready existing post. In this thread user dlzinc describes that one has to fix the permissions for /data/media. Good to know that i was right with permissions, bad that i didn't go through with it in the first place.

Maybe you've Cut/Pasted it somewhere? Try searching it using keywords you remember that the files contains. If that doesn't work, stick it into your computer and see if it can read it.
I can no longer see files in my internal memory!
They were present when I connected my phone to laptop and copied some files.
There was an empty folder named /storage/emulated/0 inside the original /storage/emulated/0 directory.
As it was empty, I tried deleting it but it was taking a long time so I cancelled the process.
After I disconnected my device, while on ES File Explorer, I discovered that majority of my files weren't showing up. I selected all the files which are displayed and saw their size, a mere 20MB, and the Homepage on ES File Explorer shows usage to be 2.35GB/12.80GB.
Is it some sort of virus that created a seemingly empty folder inside the actual directory? And what about the files that were showing up previously alongside the folder?
I believe that I may have deleted my files when I tried deleting that folder. And why would that folder seem to be empty? Please help me out here!
Not a solution but might help
Well, almost same thing happened to me a few days ago. I too saw that empty folder and couldn't find the files I needed. I too deleted that folder. Except I deleted it completely. After disconnecting I realized that my phone was empty. There was nothing in the internal storage. Finally I realized that it's actually a virtual folder that won't show any files in your pc but that exactly where all your files are. So, NEVER EVER delete that folder.
Never delete dat folder
Android supports multiple user accounts and store their files
Storage/emulated/0
Storage/emulated/1
Etc
Sometimes that folder shows up when u connect to pc, dont know its a bug or not.

I've learnt my lesson.
Anyway, I was able to recover my images by cloning the userdata partition and mounting it on my laptop and running Recuva on it.
Thanks for you responses.

Hello,
the title sounds silly, i know, but i really have trouble deleting some files.
Inside directory: /storage/sdcard0/dcim/.thumbnails there are several files for which if i look their properties i see that they are about 2gb in size.
Since my device has only 8 gb of memory, 2gb is way too much for image cache.
I try to delete theese files.
The problem is that whenever i delete those files they reappear, that is, my internal sdcard is still almost full, and those files despite that are not shown, but they are in the system somewhere, since my free space did not increased at all. Those files reappear in this same folder, after a few days and are still a couple of gb large.
How to really delete those files?
