Folder Structures in SDCARD

Hi everybody!
I just got my 1st Android Devide (DHD) and already root, clockwork, changed rom, etc. However, my problem is related to the directories structures inside my SDCARD.
I have 2 questions:
1- I moved some apps that I have in my main memory to my SDCARD via App Settings. However, when I go to my sdcard in windows explorer, I don't find these files. I'm not sure then if is really moving to my sdcard. I just realized some new folders, but they are empty. Does anyone knows what I'm doing wrong?
2- The second question it's linked with the first. I would like to organize in my SDCARD a nice folder structure. Something like:
/
/Songs/
/Photos/
/Documents/
/Backups/
/Games/
/Apps/
And then if you go inside the Apps folder, you have another folder with the name of the application. Pretty much like Program Files folder in Windows.
Is this possible? For Songs, Photos, Documents, I created a folder and it worked. But what about for apps and games that I got on the market?
My SDCARD has also a lot of folder/files that were copied when I put the sdcard on the device. I don't know if I can delete that. Any idea?
Thanks for the help in advance!

Moved to Q&A, not dev related.

Anyone?
Any tip?

Q Need help android 3.2 tablet was lost all the files in internal memory

Hi
Android 3.2 tablet /sdcard folder under the sdcard folder, I deleted /sdcard/sdcard folder, deleted all my files. How can I recover my files
seems as MTP device to the computer does not see any undelete program tablets

Use Google. Have a search for Android Forensic Recovery. You will find programs you can pay for which may be able to recover some of your data (assuming you have ADB Debugging enabled) or you can send your phone to one of the companies which are listed and pay them to try and do the same thing for you.
Don't ask me for recommendations - I've recover data off 'wiped' hard-drives (and even memory cards) many times, but doing it from a phone's internal memory is a different prospect.

[Completed] [Q] deleted file recovery in root directory

The file that has been deleted is data/data/com.kakao.talk/databases/KakaoTalk.db
The told kakaotalk.db file has been deleted and was replaced by a new kakaotalk.db
I tried use data recovery programs but those only appear to recover data that is located in either internal storage (storage/sdcard0) or sd card (storage/sdcard1)
Is there any method to recover this file? I know root explorer can access and titanium backup can back up app data located in this directory, but wondering if there are any specialized deleted file recovery program that can scan this area to recover deleted application data

There are many recovery/undeleter apps available in Play store.
Here is a thread about it: General discussion > General > Storage Card - Deleted file recovery.
Some apps are free, some not. You have to read the app description and ratings, then check yourself.
Good luck !

Tried every recovery app available on google store. Only DiskDigger undelete appears to be able to scan the root area (other apps only scans internal storage and sd card). However that app only appears to have option to scan for and restore certain file extension (only pictures images and document files), and not .db files...
Is there any way to mount the root directory as a drive that could be recognized by the PC, so I can scan it using recuva or something? When I connect the device, only SD card mounts as a removable drive. Device I use is Pantech Vega LTE-A IM-A880S

Yes, recuva is good ... used it myself to restore files on an external sd card.
As I am notr sure about our device and there is no specific forum for it on xda, please post your question in the General discussion > Questions and Answers forum.
Hopefully someone there can give a better advice.

Android - How to copy new or updated files/folder only like Robocopy in Windows in PC

Hi,
Everytime I clean install my phone, I take backup by from internal to external SD card; I had to do this manually.
Few folders are there, where thousands of files will be there; I tried to find a file browser which can give an option to copy only new/updated file/folder, but couldn't get one.
Currently I use ES file explorer pro, but it only checks for same name file/folder and if you click "Skip" on the popup, it will not check any further.
I do backup in my work and personal PC with windows by Robocopy scripts; is there any tool like robocopy for android?
Thanks!

recover lost photo with root access

hello,
I have a xiaomi redmi 9 pro phone.
rooted.
I used fstop app to move 80 photo from internal memory to sdcard. sdcard was full and the move has been done and create 0kb file in sdcard.
Photo from inernal memory have been deleted by the app.
I used a lot of app to look for my lost photo but I don't find stuff. I found a lot of "not deleted photo". I don't find any usefull tool that could ignore not deleted files (whatapp and my personnal photo are quite huge, more than 4000 photos).
also I'm surprised not to find a lot of thumbnail because there should be a lot of thumbnail on my phone and also a lot of deleted thumbnail.
I have the date and name of deleted photo isn't there a clever tool that exist and could find them ?
using tool like diskdigger or undeleter that need root access, I don't find stuff, even when looking in a lot of volume. What I'm missing ?
My dream tool :
look for really deleted file
if there are real file : filter by folder, by filename, date, etc.
do you have some tips for me ?

If you have rooted your phone and used several Android recovery tools, but none of them have scanned your lost photos. It is possible that they have been overwritten by new files. The overwritten files cannot be recovered.

That's what happens when you MOVE a file from one drive ( internal sdcard ) to another drive ( external sdcard ):
The file contents are copied in full to some location on the target disk drive.
The directory of the target folder on the target drive is updated to include the new file copied.
The directory of the source folder where the file used to reside is updated to no longer list the file. This causes the actual data for that file on the source drive to be released and marked as unused space.
