When I rooted my phone I used the stock SD card to make my gold card. I copied everything on to my PC before then deleted all files on the SD then proceeded.
After everything was completed, I copied everything back to my SD card but I did not delete the files reference the gold card. I only have approx 4g left on the card and want to clean it up a bit. What file (gold card files) can I delete to remove the gold card material. I know that will save me some space. Is there just one folder with all files inside (that would be easy)? I looked through my folders on the root of my card and did not see anything that would point out gold card files etc...
One day I will go ahead and purchase a larger card....
Copy everything off again, format it then recopy your data back to it.
FWIW, the gc.img file is tiny so I don't think you're going to gain as much as you'd like by ridding your card of it.

You have an external SD card in? I'm not familiar with rom toolbox, but I think regardless you're supposed to put your roms on the INTERNAL SD.

It depends on what recovery you are using, CWM Recovery 6.0.1.0 allows installs from the ExtSD card.
You need to go up one folder level and look for ExtSdCard, I do not know if the ROM toolbox will actually install the rom from that path though

All my pictures, Titanium Backups, etc are on this card, but I cannot find them. I flashed Liquid's ROM and did a factory reset, but for some reason it only backed up some old files in the 0 folder in my internal storage. That folder was actually one level down from the root-below the card's default storage spot, so not sure how it happened. When the OS loaded up and I saw everything was gone, I had a tiny heart attack. Couldn't find it with Solid Explorer, but saw that there was only 3GB of space left on the internal card, and this was a clean flash with literally no apps installed or data on the internal storage card. I knew my data must be somewhere on it! I remembered the app called Disk Usage that shows what's taking up space in your memory cards. I installed it and sure enough, there was a huge amount of data in a System folder. You can open the folders directly from the app, but I don't have the option with this folder (as seen in the screenshot, the SHOW option is greyed out). Can anyone help me? I know the stuff is there, just not sure how to get to it.

Found the answer in case anyone ever runs into this issue.
I've recently flashed Alliance ROM (aka beans build 21) but i've been having this issue for awhile now on and off even on previous builds and i'm wondering if anyone here has any solutions. Occasionally after a few days/weeks ill notice that some things just disappear from my external sd card (i.e. my entire music collection, pictures, camera folder, etc). Totally gone. The only thing that's left behind is a folder slightly resembling the original folder name. This is what the folders look like.

Again, i have no idea whats going on here. The sd card isn't that old, and its a class 10 uhs 1 Sandisk. I've never had issues with their products before so im assuming it has something to do with the phone itself or the ROM. After a full sd card format and re-transfer of most of the information that was previously on the card, it seems to perform perfectly fine. But again, after a few days (sometimes only one or two) the same thing happens and i have no idea what's going on or what i can do about it. I've done a full wipe on my phone (factory reset, data, cache, dalvik) including the internal sd card thinking that maybe it was some sort of rogue file on my phone causing a problem but i'm still having the same problems. Any info on what i can do or and ideas about whats going on would be awesome!
Okay, I accidentally removed the adapter while partitioning my SD card using MiniTool. I just wanted to try out the flashable .zip I've made recently and because of so much excitement, I accidentally removed the adapter and forgot that I'm partitioning my SD card My taskbar was automatically hidden so I didn't noticed that MiniTool is running and I totally forgot all the other things since my mind is focused on editing the updater-script and so on... It's like I'm making a custom ROM for my device, then after that, I want to try to flash it through ClockWorkMod Recovery and because the version of my CWM does not support ADB Sideloading means SD card is my only option but... damn!!! Here, my SD card is now in Read-Only state and became Logical type :crying:

Any help you can give will be so much appreciated.
Try to backup your data and format it. Then repartition it again. It always works.
Ok, you can use minitool power data recovery to find your lost data and then using minitool partition wizard to repartition it again. the whole operations are totally safe, you dont need to worry about any data loss.
SD Card Deep Cleaner
This is a great tool that helps to free up storage space by deep cleaning the redundant and residual files on the SD Card.
SD Card Deep Cleaner would thoroughly scan the device's SD Card and summarize files by 10 different categories.
You can easily clean the redundant and residual files on the SD Card to free up storage space.

Check it out from Play Store:good:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.makaylatech.sdcardcleaner
this really clean up your Android device
I'll ask the app was not running in background, at least, allow a method to disable it.
It has good features, but alerting each new file being downloaded and so on is really annoying.
