Hay guys i just flashed AOKP's rom after backing my IMEI
When I plugged my phone to my computer to move some files, only two folders showed up. "Pictures" and "DCIM"
The computer gives an error that says "The new folder could not be created in this location. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected" in the main folder but when I go to "pictures" I can create a new folder with ease.
I can still move files into my phone but cant delete/move any other folders
Not sure if this has anything to do with it but the AOKP rom I flashed does not come with the "myfile" app where you can browse your sdcard (which im fine with because i have other apps that can)
Any way to fix this problem?
Any ideas?

Maybe its a permissions issue? Maybe reboot into recovery and goto "fix permissions"?
Nope didnt work =(
The only think i could think of is Odin back to stock and reroot and unlock bootloader.
Zzz. Kk. Was hoping to avoid that. I'll give it a try. Thanks

Mine has done that as well. I'm not sure why. For instance, the pictures folder shows up but it is empty. ES File Explorer can find them on the phone, but windows can't. Same thing with Titanium Backup.
Changing USB ports randomly seemed to help Titanium backup, but my pictures are still invisible.
So at first my pictures don't show up in Windows, but if I create a new folder from Windows in the pictures folder they show up. Its like its not refreshing, but even if I unplug/replug it doesn't refresh. Its weird.

I have an Samsung Galaxy S2 running Android 2.33. I put on Google+ app and that was a mistake. It created a folder in my gallery called Instant Upload [with 70 pictures]. I would really like to delete the folder but I am not able and I don't know where the folder is kept. I tried searching with windows explorer and couldn't find the pictures or where the folder is on my phone. I went to Google+ site on my pc and erased the pictures there but still can't erase on my phone. Please help.
Even i also have the same problem, i am not able to delete instant upload folder as well as profile photos folder too from my SGS2 mobile. I tried to delete all the apps and cleared all the memory from my SD card. The problem is i can delete both the folders but again when i open my gallery it ll show the deleted files again. So please help.

hi builder,
finally i found the solution for this, it sounds wired but it ll work 100%.
just follow the following steps, and before doing this i recommend u to take backup of all the data from your phone.
settings>privacy>factory data reset>check (format usb storage)>reset phone.
hope this will help you.

Thanks. It worked but it was a major pain. Google should have made it easier to get rid of. It is like using a bomb to get rid of a fly.
Hello everyone! proud Galaxy SL owner here! Hi, I was wondering after deleting this folder titled "ppy_cross" folder it returns on my /mnt/sdcard? I would delete it again, but it comes back? I can't find to which app it belongs to.. My Galaxy is not rooted.. does the android OS return deleted folders so it can function properly? Just now, I turned on my wifi to install a game from the play store, after installation, I then opened up my My Files and saw ppy_cross folder again...? My phone has no problems at all, it's working normally.
Thankz in AdvaNcE to whomever can help out! =)
3rd party apps create files automatically, the ext file systems also create automatically folders like LOST.DIR

I appreciate your response sir, thank you so much!
So this is pretty much normal sir? So, if ever I come upon another folder that I deleted and comes back... It's ok and won't harm my phone, right? But, what if I installed an app and uninstalled it, and I also deleted it's folder, but comes back after I already uninstalled the app, what does that mean? Just curious sir..

its alryt to delete folders as long as you are aware of what's inside of the folder..but be aware not to delete systems folder for it may cause a problem on ur phone..abd for the application installed and uninstalled well i think it alryt to delete it as long as ur no using the apps and free some space.
I believe that folder is from boat browser mini app.
I have the same folder and I havent installed that browser
I have the exact same folder as well. Inside, I find a file labeled as follows:
7c8818e0b54505648c31ec132d64a3a7
It's simply labeled: File.
I have never installed anything called "boat browser" or anything similar. The only browser that I use is FireFox, and I know it wasn't created form there, as I've used that browser for a while, and the folder only just appeared within the past couple of days. I, like the others, am unable to prevent the folder from returning upon deletion.

Storage Defragmenter....and why the hell is there no 'Angry Face' Icon?? Sorry, I thought that was 'constipated'.
So I just got the OPO. Ive rooted and unlocked bootloader etc. But I'm trying to get my titanium backups from my HTC one to this phone. When I connect over MTP it pops up to view the files, I can see pictures, music, podcasts etc, no titanium backup folder on the root directory. I see another folder says "Storage > emulated > legacy" once I click through those directories the last one "legacy" I can see an odd looking file that says titanium backup, but it doesn't look like a folder and I cannot access it.
However using a file browser on the phone I can access the titanium backup folder in this location.
So how do I access this folder over MTP?? It doesn't make sense to me.
I'm wondering if theres somthing wrong with one of the drivers, I do have a yellow icon in device manager, but everything else workds (fastboot, ADB, and MTP seemingly works)
Just create the folder and put your backup files in it.

Yeah that's what I did. I just didn't understand why I couldn't view the titanium backup folder that was originally created on the one plus one via USB.

I'm in the same situation. I was used to direct storage access through USB, not MTP crap (it's not an old MP3 player! It's a 1+1!!!).
I come from a HTC One X and I had to use GDrive to transfer part of my files. Additionally to should pay attention to file permissions because Windows makes some confusion
and alters them so that you can't write on some folders you bring from the old phone.
My only solution ,so far, is to create the folders using the phone file manager (I'm on Solid Explorer) and then copy the files: in most cases they get the permissions from the folder in which are written.
Found anything new since the 7th October?
I'm using Titanium Backup on the latest L Preview and while the apps and data get backed up fine, I'm unable to access this folder from the PC via MTP. In This PC\Nexus 5\Internal storage\storage\emulated\legacy, there is a blank icon file called TitaniumBackup, which is supposed to be a folder in which all the data is stored. Using ES File Explorer on the phone, I can see that the files are all stored in /sdcard/TitaniumBackup, but when I try to open that on the PC (This PC\Nexus 5\Internal storage\TitaniumBackup), the folder is empty.
Is there any security setting that causes this? How do I access the files in the folder from the PC?
UPDATE: I just used ES File Explorer to move all the files from /sdcard/TitaniumBackup into /sdcard/TitBac and I can now access these. I still think this is a workaround and that there has to be a better way to do this.
you could use "adb pull /sdcard/TitaniumBackup somefolder"
mtp is generally buggy for me, so i got used to adb push/pull
I'm having the EXACT same problem. Go to backup save location, and nothing but one 4.0 kb file. No backups. I can see them in ES, but I'm also having a separate issue writing to shared folders on my pc with ES. Can anyone provide some insight?
When you first plug the phone in, all folders appear as a file. It takes a bit for windows to determine their actual properties. Bigger folders take longer. So try waiting a bit. Otherwise try mtp in TWRP or adb pull as mentioned
This also just happened on the Galaxy SIII Intl with a recent OmniROM nightly. Now, prior to flashing Lollipop, I was running an Omni nightly on the Nexus 5 as well. Not sure if this has something to do with it...

This is worth a shot. I also just looked for some ADB-based file explorers and found a few, but one of them was abandoned and the other one requires GTK+ and building, so I'm wondering if you've got a personal favorite...

I'm pretty sure I waited a reasonable while before concluding this, but other than the Windows Explorer progress bar, there's really not much you get to go by. The Titanium Backup folder in question doesn't have too many files (~500) and I've had folders with images and videos (DCIM, mostly) with at least 5 times more files show up instantly. I don't think this is the issue, but I'll give it a try when I face this problem next.
Hey guys, first post in a while.
Recently I got struck with a weird bug: a folder in Android>data>com.appnameetc cannot be opened.
To be precise, the problem is the "cache" folder of the Mangarock Definitive app. Starting this morning the app wasn't working, and while cheching the app's info and folders I discovered that my phone (and my computer too) cannot open the folder and neither calculate it's size.
I tried to delete the folder with es file manager, the stock file manager and with my computer (my computer doesn't even see the folder sadly); I tried to uninstall the app and/or install previous version of the app but nothing: the folder cannot be opened or deleted, it drains some battery (media manager?) and it left me without one of my reading sources.
Is there a way to delete that folder, via phone or computer?
Ps: I know i can just do a factory reset, but it's my last resort because it's a pain for me to root again and setup my honor 8
I'm currently using Honor 8 FRD-L09 b380
Rooted, no magisk, xposed installed
Stock rom, twrp installed
