Are there any directories in the Android system where am allowed to store files other than /sdcard? I see a folder called sqlite_stmt_journals which appears to have permissions but the folder I make in it keeps getting deleted and sometimes when I put files in there the process fails...
Hi all. I see much system folders on SDcard. Such as a folders with "." in name and folders from some APPs. So there is question, can we some how hide\move them?
How i see this situation. Can we make folder on SDcard and mount it like a SD in Android? So we will get 1 folder with all system folders, and all our folders.
I bad in android\linux but that what i think. Any suggestions?
Hi there
So I was digging around in Titanium backup, and I noticed that it had 2 possible folder locations on my Xoom (with no SD-card inserted)
Huh, I thought, so I went around into the root folders with ES and I had a look.
In the /storage folder, there are 3 directories:
sdcard0
sdcard1
emulated
inside "emulated", there are a further 2 folders, "0" and "legacy"
All these folders have the same folders inside them. It's like there are 3 copies of my internal storage on my device.
This doesn't seem very efficient. Is this an anomoly or a normal part of device functionality?
Is it okay to delete one of them?
I would imagine that one of them is actually a symbolic link not a duplicate. If you have a terminal emulator you can look at them and see if one is just a pointer to the other so as to not break older software.
AFAIK it's symlinked, so if you delete one of them, you'll delete all of them! There's no need to change any of that, it was done in the 4.2 build due to multiuser .

I just lost one off my app's data (settings, etc, ...) and I'd like to try undeleting them. I know they were in the /data/data folder.
I found some file recovery apps on the store but it seems like they only scan the /sdcard/ folder.
I looked into mounting the sdcard on my PC and running a recovery software there, but mounting the root folder doesn't seem possible.
Any idea that might make this possible?
hi, im having problems deleting a folder in my internal storage.
my phone is Lenovo A328, stock rom, rooted, and running on kitkat.
i didn't do any tweaking on my phone besides rooting.
i noticed while browsing my internal folders, in Android/data there is a folder named "com.com2us.soulcollector.normal...." 16.74mb in size.
it's from the game soul seeker, and i've already uninstalled the game, i tried to delete it but cant be deleted.
here's what ive done so far:
-i used other browsing apps like root explorer and root browser
-renamed the folder and delete, but can't
-moved the folder to other location in internal (cant move to external), still cant delete
-downloaded the game again and made sure the folder name and location is the same. then uninstalled the game, still the folder is there.
-edit the permission but cant.
-reboot device
-clean junk files using clean master
i dont want to restore or reformat my device. its a pain trying to download and reinstall again all my apps.
please help!

Try remounting /data as RW.
So, if you're using ES Explorer, open menu, inside Tools, click on Root Explorer.
Then click Mount R/W. And mount all partitions as RW.
This may help
