the file status is "lrwx" then, "l" menas "symbolic link" , "r" => "read able". "w" => "write able", "x" => "execute able"

is it just me...
but if i download it, and try to run the apk, it tells me "cant open file" o.o

Works for me on HTC magic 32b running froyo, many thanks.

I don't know why, but I can open all folders I want except /mnt/sdcard. I get a FC when trying. On filemanagers I can open /mnt/sdcard with success.
Using a HTC Desire, rooted and S-off.

Installed and works for me, but it shows my /data/app/ folder as empty.
I have apps2sdext so it should follow the link...
As a workaround I can browse to /sd-ext/app just fine.

Only for Froyo devices right? I'm running 2.1, has anyone figured out how to move apps 2 sd on 2.1? (stock kernal)

Can I change boot screen also from the root?

does not work with my mytouch 4g... had to busy the market version instead

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I'm having a problem moving apps to my SD card. I go into rooted explorer and copy the .apk, I move into the /system folder but there is no SD folder. Everything else looks the same as the screen shot except I'm missing the SD folder. Any ideas?

[Q] Cannot delete folder in data/data

I downloaded Quadrant on my HTC One to Benchmark it and then I uninstalled it however when I rebooted my phone I got a UID inconsistency error and I discovered it was this app so I had to manually delete the .apk to resolve it because for some reason it was still lingering anyway the folder for it is still in my Data/Data directory and no matter what I try I'm unable to delete it. I've used Root Explorer and Ftp'd in but no luck yet. Any suggestions are appreciated!!

Just make sure you have tap on "Mount as R/W" in Root Explorer

it is mounted a R/W

I just had exactly the same **** happen to me with quadrant. I resolved the uid issues by format cache partition and deleted the apk but that folder in data is not deleteable.
Can't install quadrant either as it says error 24. Well I have no idea what's wrong and also the free space for the folder in data matches the stats for the asec data folder. Weird !

I would put my trust in the original linux/unix command line utilities. I can recommend "Terminal IDE" as a package of a terminal emulator and a base system. Just start it, install the "system", then go to the command line. With
Code:
su
you should get root rights. And with
Code:
rm -r /path/to/whatever
you should either be able to delete it or get a more or less meaningful error message.

@ccxxx i followed your method but remained unable to delete the facebook folder...

Any suggestions??

Well, I/o error is bad. It usually means that the memory is physically broken but I think it can also be caused when the filesystem is corrupted.

I renamed the folder instead of deleting it and everything worked perfectly... does this still mean the memory is corrupted?

Where the F Does CWM Backups go?

In clockworkmod there is a tiny file that isnt the backup, but the backup is somewhere because i can use it in cwm....... ??????????? So frustrating

This.
I'd like to backup the CWM backups into my hard drive, is there any chance? Also the backups are dated on 1970 on mine, is that a thing?

Can they send the safety copy?, I need It urgently, my telephone has remained unusable and the last option is to restore a backup with the original rom.
Please

It's in the /data/media/clockworkmode/backups/

What's the explorer app required to get into these if I may ask? Sliding Explorer is mine but it doesn't seem to be able to navigate these folders. Root Explorer or ES File could do it?

You can use root Explorer to navigate it.. But you can't copy it.. You should use adb to copy it to your pc..

Yes, you can copy it with es file explorer and if you're rooted...

Just use an OTG to do an external backup.

Enable root explorer feature in ES Explorer. Then you ll see the file in it. Then simply copy it to another directory.

[Q] Empty folder in the storage of the Nexus 5

Hello, this is my first post on XDA. I noticed yesterday that all the files and subfolders in the folder /storage/emulated/0/download
are apparently disappeared.
Three file managers, Total Commander, Astro File Manager, and X-plore, display that folder as empty.
Instead, that folder contained many eBooks, PDF manuals of several calculators, and some other documents.
The app Device Inspector, choosing the option "Storage & Memory", displays the following data:
Device Storage, Used 12.54 GB, Available 11.16 MB.
Memory, Used 1.44 GB, Available 379.23 MB.
Thus it looks like the download folder is still holding all the files I have previously stored in it,
mostly from my PC via WiFi.
The problem is not only due to the fact that the files are now non-accessible,
but it is also impossible to install new apps, due to the lack of available memory.
The first thing I tried was to power off the Nexus 5 and then power it on again,
in order to reset the system, but that didn't work.
Then I googled looking for a solution, but with no joy.
All I was able to find is the advice to re-format the storage and to copy all the files
into the storage again.
I found also the advice to use TestDisk, a software for the PC, able to recover data from
SD cards, USB sticks, and so forth.
In both cases it is needed to use a PC, and I have two at home, but now I am on Summer Holidays,
and the only other device I have here is another smartphone, a Nexus 4.
Anyway I have the backup of all my data, of course, both at home and on an USB stick I have taken with me, and by now I would like just to know how to free the storage space in order to be able to install some further apps, to store some other photos and/or videos, and so forth.
Thanks for any explaination.

check /sdcard/ in the root filesystem using root explorer. i bet thats where all your files are, not in /storage/emulated/0/download

By now I cannot either install nor use Root Explorer, due to
a lack of memory and the fact that my phone is not yet rooted. I will try when I'll be back home.
In the meanwhile, I have seen that Total Commander, too,
can display the folder /sdcard/ under the folder Root of the Filesystem, but it looks like my files are not visibile.
Anyway, thank you for the reply.

[Q] Cant delete files from SD card (jellybean)

I'm cleaning up my phone, PHOTOS only shows photos stored on the phone, it doesn't include photos on the SD card.
So I downloaded the SD card photos via Airdroid FILES and now want to delete them
If I right click on EXTERNAL SD CARD, I'm given the delete option, but if I dive into any subdirectories, all delete options are greyed out whether it's right click on directory or file, or select and click the trash can.
Any ideas? This is a Note 3 running Android 4.3

Would you please attach a screenshot here? Generally, if you right click on EXTERNAL SD CARD, there's no delete option.

Here you go
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

And here you can see no delete option

Has nobody run into this before? I posted the screenshots that were requested. Was kind of expecting a response.

If AirDroid doesn't have the permission to delete files on your external sd card, the delete option will be greyed out. Or would you please give it a try on the phone: AirDroid--->Tools--->Files. Try deleting one photo there just to check if AirDroid has the permission. Thank you in advance

I think you're on to something. Using AirDroid on the phone itself, I attempted to delete a file from the SD card. The delete option was there, it said the delete was successful, but nothing was actually deleted.
What might prevent this from working?

AirDroid does not have the permission to delete files on your SD card

right, we determined that. my question was WHY would it not have permissions? What should I be looking at to fix that problem?

anyone knows how to fix it ?
cant set the external SD path
