Hi,
I have a 32gb micro sd card which has some video files on it from my in car camera, i use the tablt to viw the files back while on the road and need to delete the files when the card gets too full, i am unable to delete the files from my transformer, just get a permission denied error, i check the file information and it has -R- permissions. i put the micro sd cardinto my galaxy s2 and i am able to delete the files no problem.
Is there something i missing here? is there something i need to turn on to be able to delete these files on the transformer? the directory the files are in isnt write protected, i can create new files and folders, i just cant delete these video files for some reason.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.

I'm running TNT lite 2.2.0 (yes I need to flash a more recent version...) and I cannot seem to access my SD card in any way. When I took it out it told me that I had removed it unexpectantly, and when I tried to get back into ES file explorer it had all my root forlders an files in what it called: /sdcard. And the area labeled: / (the root of the gtablet) there were the old files that used to be on my SD card, even though I had removed it... from then on I have been having tons of problems accessing files, sometimes it seems like I have no files at all today, I opened it to access some media I downloaded and only the folder labeled "data" was there with a bunch of random stuff in it that I truly don't care about. Now, I got a new SD card, put it in and still the files from the old SD card were still there.... I don't know what to do, I tried clearing the cache, didn't work, I tried accessing SDcard anylist the whole app force closed on me, so that didn't work either!!!! I don't know what to do!!! I also tried rebooting, didn't work... I need help thanks.
I got it, the directory was just different but it still will not let me delete or rename stuff... still help please?? I even tried a different file explorer...
The /sdcard folder is internal memory. The /sdcard2 folder is the actual path to the microsd card.
I've searched the forums and can't seem to find an answer to this, but I do know that others have the same issue. For example, when I download a file such as a new kernel zip file, I am unable to move (using Root Explorer or any other file manager) the file from the internal SD card over to the removable external SD card. I always have to connect to my Mac in order to place the file on the external so that I can move forward with flashing, etc. Anyone have a fix for this? I can't believe that such a simple and required function doesn't work. I realize that the external SD card functionality is based on a hack/mod, but it seems like not being able to write to it from within the device makes it somewhat useless in many ways.
EDIT: Nevermind, SOLVED. Found out you have to "copy" and not "move"...works like a charm
In Root Explorer you need to go to the top left and you'll see a button that says Mount R/W make sure it isn't set as Mount R/O. Afterwards make sure you move the files to SDCard/External so you can see it in recovery.
Good you got it to work..
Why do the phone recognize my internal storage as sdcard0? This tends to lead to some problems when locating files in recovery.
Is there a way to make sure extraneous files, such as downloads, stay only on the sd card under sdcard?
Sometimes when placing a file on the sdcard from USB-to-PC connection, I navigated to the root folder using a file explorer, and tap sdcard, only to find it's not there. Instead of I have to home-->storage-->sdcard1.
Can anyone explain what exactly is going on in this case?? Or if anyone found a way to consolidate the folders, how can I do it??
Thank you.

The storage isn't extended, it's two separate file spaces. Your internal memory is reported as an internal SD card (sdcard0) and your SD Card is reported as an external SD (sdcard1)

If you download the Motorola USB Device Manager then in my computer your device will be recognised with internal and external storage available, all folders under these will be clearly visable and you shouldn't have any issues transferring data between the two.

I have that manager and it works well, but I would like the folder "sdcard" in the home to link me to the sdcard1 and not sdcard0. Right now the "symlink" in root browser points there. Anyway to change that?
so i took out my memory card and put it in a new card reader, the card reader did something funny and all files & folders disappeared and there was just one 0kb file named USB&somegarbage. I put the card back in the phone and it surely created the DCIM folders again etc.
I then connected it to icare data recovery and i am able to see that all the files are still there with most of them not corrupted but the folder names are gone,I wondering if there is a way for me to recover the original file structure back? any one?
Thanks in advance.

In my opinion, I would just recover everything and just format that card. When you reinsert the card, the phone should restore default folders back and just place your data in the respective folders. I don't think there is anything you really need to add new folders for, other than the default unless you had a specific folder arrangement for photos or something like that.
Format the card to NTFS not FAT.
Do it either on your PC or Mac.
But you must install a NTFS app on the android, otherwise the device will not recognise the card.
You can format the card to NTFS using the app too.
The app will auto mount the card when the device is turned on.
I've found this method more stable than having the card in FAT mode.
I'm surprised Samsung haven't sorted this out yet!
:crying:
I have the Tmo Samsung a32 that came with Android 11. Secure Storage blocks my normal explorer from seeing the files but the "Files" app works around this restriction to see the files.
However, when I try to copy the files I just get a "The file wasn't copied" error. Also if I try to share the file, it gets removed before the receiving Intent renders.
Based on searching other forums, I haven't seen others having this problem. Generally if they can see/read the file they can copy it out of Android/data.
This only happens on the SD card. I can copy files from Internal storage Android/data just fine, which is also curious.
Does anyone have this same issue? I wonder if it's built into some a32 protection or specific to my SD card.
Thanks!
If you have twrp, copy the /android/data directory on to your sd card.
