I'm getting this when trying to update a few apps in the market. Titanium backup shows that my ROM is only about 790 MB. I haven't tried moving apps to the SD card. My internal storage is showing several GB free.
You can't know your limits until you exceed them.
Performed backup, wiped cache+dalvik, rebooted. No help. Aaaaarrrrgggghhhhhhhh.

You have a rogue .odex file in your /data/app folder. Probably left there by lucky patcher if you have been using that. remove the .odex file and you will be fine.
Seems I have a few folders named data...
Internal>Android>data
Internal>data
Can you give me the full path?

you only have one /data/app folder found in the root folder
It is not on internal - that is your internal sd storage space. It is on your data partition - you will need to use esfile explorer or root explorer.
Since I'm having the issue with FX file explorer from next app, could it be that one seen in the screen shot? I only see 3 odex files in this folder. Safe to delete all three?

Have you used lucky patcher to patch them?
Something has cracked these apps. You only need to remove the orphaned ones to solve your issue. If they have a corresponding .apk, the app will force close if you remove the .odex as well.
I didn't use lucky patcher on this that I remember. Is it safe to delete the odex files if all I have to do is then reinstall those that force close?

The three that have odex are titanium backup, gauge battery widget, and FX file explorer. Might have tried to lucky patch on TiB.

None of them should be odexed so something has odexed them. Yes you can uninstall them, remove the .odex files and uninstall. Whether it fixes your problem remains to be seen.
I used root explorer to delete the associated odex of next app FX file explorer. Reinstallation of FX successful. Thanks!

Hi there,
I have a Samsung Galaxy 3 i580 device, and whenever I want to put something on my internal (root) memory, I get a 'no space' error.
Now I installed Root Explorer, and it seems that there are A LOT of .apk files in my /system/apk folder.
Am I allowed to delete these .apk's, or are they actually used?
And what else should/can I do to clear my memory?
Note: I still have 40+ mb memory left on the phone to install apps, just not in the root memory.
Thanks in advance for your time!
have you tried to mount system r/w in rootexplorer
You can delete them with root explorer...just be sure you know which you are removing as some are essential for a stable phone
swyped....and I apologize for not proofreading
Yes, the system was in r/w from the beginning.
Question: When I use apps2sd, will my apps still be installed to the /system/app folder on my internal memory?
Most will and app2sd will notify you if they can be moved but some apps automatically install to sd. Angry birds is one example.

So there is no way to make free space in my internal memory, except for removing apps?
i seem to have over 1 GB of wasted space in that folder .android_secure
any 1 got a clue if those are safe to delete?
I've never found that deleting anything on my SD card caused major problems for the phone, including .android_secure. Of course, that folder has never been 1 GB in size for me, either, so I suppose your results may vary. Really, though, all the system stuff is in the protected internal storage, so I doubt you'll do much worse than delete media files or whatever apps you've moved to the SD card, if that. I say give it a shot and see what happens. Of course, I take no responsibility for anything that does go wrong if you do. >.>
apparently those are Apps settings or something along the lines
i flashed SuperAOS and during the wiping process it showed it was deleting .android_secure
App2sd
This is where the operating system stores a portion of the apps. Anytime you install a new app and choose to install it to the SD card, it puts a large portion of the app into this folder. Deleting the contents would delete your apps.
If you move an app to the SD card via the official (2.2+) method, this is where (most of it) goes.
Hi,
I recently flashed a new ROM and had to do a full wipe including factory reset. I copied some apps to SD, and indeed I see that the .android_secure folder has a lot in it, taking up space. I installed all apps again from market on the new ROM install, and they all say they can be copied to SD again, so they don't take information from the previously installed bits on the SD card. Is it safe to delete everything in this folder?
EDIT: I have an HTC Hero, but only noticed when I posted this that this is a Samsung Nexus S thread. I'm guessing that this is not that big a deal?

sorry to revive this thread after so long, but does this folder also store the app data? In other words, for games like plants vs zombies or angry birds etc, if I copy the corresponding files over to my new phone (after installing PVZ/AB on the new phone of course), does it also copy over my progress?
(recently swapped my EVO 4G to EVO 3D and trying to figure out how to copy the game progress over - esp for PVZ)

Titanium Backup?

Isn't that only for rooted phones?
I wanted to start this thread because I am having trouble, (and I assume other noobs are as well), understanding what's on my SD Card and how to navigate through it.
I've attached what I see when I open my device and check the internal storage.
My main reasoning for trying to understand all that's on my SD Card is because it's important! And because I'm trying to figure out where all my apps are stored. I recently installed the venom custom ROM, and since then have lost the knowledge of where my .apk files are stored. That's really what I'm after trying to find those files. I've searched every folder but still no dice. I used Titanium Pro to backup all my files but there is nothing located in the Titanium folder.
Can anybody help me identify where my .apk files are located?
I also have a few .apk files I wish to install on my phone. From what I've gathered the way to do this is to add them to where the other .apk files are located and then Fix Permissions. If I cannot locate my .apk files is there another file path I could save it to?
Lastly I have these two files I have not recognized before, BUGSENSE and .profig
What are these files?
So if you're downloading the apks off a website they'll be in the downloads folder if you downloaded then through Google play..they won't be on your sd unless you manually backed up them up through titanium

Right okay, so if I choose to back them up onto the SD card then my .apk file paths should appear? Because as you can see now I have no app folders on my phone (sd card) currently.
I've backed up my phone via titanium still nothing in there is an .apk file.
I'm also interested in keeping my phone clean of useless things (another reason for this thread).
As file explorer. Settings allow up to root allow root. Go up from sd card. System/data folder

If you go to titanium backup location on sd card and open it you will find what you looking for. Its pretty easy to restore backup in titanium app itself.....also a true backup should be done in twrp recovery as it backs up everything (file partitions,kernel,radio,apps) it will save a copy (known as a nandriod backup) on your sd card that you can recover if your rom won't boot or you just need to restore .

Make sure you enable writing to the root folder as well. System apps are in system/app.
Hey I have a rooted s3 and I can not get any root manager app to: edit, delete nor rename any files, not even stuff in the downloads folder.
I also noticed that my dropbox can't install anything either, just says "storage full or unavailable" but my storage is fine, i have over 9gb of internal storage left.
I patched titanium backup with lucky patcher and I know once I had a message about not having enough storage but got it fix by deleting some file in /sys/app folder i think could this have anything to do with it?
P.S. I've tried fixing permissions in TWRP and it didn't help
P.S. I actually don't think any of my apps have permissions to access the internal memory. I just tired using viber and the app can't even look for a picture from my gallery to sent...
What could be causing this guys?? Could it be a bad root? What should I do, I don't really wanna reinstall my rom and then reroot, its too much work.
It's a strange problem. Whenever I delete a large file from Samsung My Files (File Manager), the file gets deleted on the app. But the file still remains hidden somewhere in the system and occupying the space. No, it's not in Recycle Bin. I clear that too. I tried to dig in and find it. I couldn't.
Then I tried to clear the app data of My Files. The data reflects the file size of the file I deleted (2.7GB). After clearing the data (3MB), the data size reverts to the same size (2.7GB) within a second. It seems the deleted file is refusing to go from my system and hiding somewhere
Can someone help me with this issue? I am running out of memory space on my S8. I have root.
Thanks in advance
