Every time I go into gallery I have to delete a ton of folders of cached images..
How can I stop these from saving? Or is there anything that can be done about this??

Cached where?

Well I've deleted all the folders, there were a lot.. Guess I need to wait for some more to show up and see where they're stored..

Put a .nomedia blank file in those folders.

Use ES file explorer or whatever you like and simply create an empty text file called .nomedia
Copy it to all of the folders you don't want to see in the gallery and reboot.
Those folders will not be scanned and will not show up in gallery.

This method does work, as now all my folders are absent from the gallery. ..
I created the file from the internal memory folder and once the file was created, it disappeared.. Or I can't find it at least..
Where is the actual file? I need to delete it and create it in each of the folders I actually want to hide..
Edit: I found the file by showing hidden files and deleted it..

Guys, what is this lazylist folder on sd card? Can it be deleted?
Sent from my LG Optimus One P500 using Tapatalk
Its just cache of icons even if u delete it it will come back..
But I hate the way android impliments apps folder creation directly too the root of sdcard. I think there should b some hack so that apps folders (folders created by apps for cache and stuff) are in one sub folder.. like a symbolic link.
My sdcard is cluttered like hell with all the folders.

Thanks for the info, dude. And, you are really right about folders issue. Very nagging. Even more nagging is the fact, these folders do not go away even with uninstal of app. Have to delete them individually.

I deleted it everytime i turn on or rebooting my phone and nothing happens.

SOLUTION: remove appplanet. Shouldn't be using it anyway.

Having lots of folders will not have any impact on the read speed of the sd card but if you have a number of files one the root of the sd card then the read speed of the sd card will be greatly reduced.

(Just realized this thread is several years old)
I think its safe to say that any of the files/folders that wern't there prior to intallation of the app would be safe to delete. Often times after uninstalling an app some files and folders are still there. Usually they are files and folders that werent originally installed with the application such as saved preferences, data, settings, ect. Those files are safe to delete but I think the best rule of thumb is when in doubt, dont delete. You can usually use google to find out which files and folders are associated with which app and which files and folder are important or essential.
I can't seem to download any files with my nexus s 4g. Usually I attempt to download files from xda either with the app or the site through the browser. I'm always told in downloads and the notification bar that the download was unsuccessful.
Is this due to a setting somewhere? Data profile or the like? Any fix or work around would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Glad you got it to work. I just got the NS4G 2 days ago and on the way home from Best Buy I was trying to download MIUI but kept getting the same error lol
Oh, and if you d/l from browser the file should be in /mnt/sdcard/download
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
yeah, i found it. the first download didnt take.
That's normal. Android doesn't download files that it doesn't know how to open, usually you are able to download a mp3 or a jpg, cause it knows these files. A file manager helps with files that it knows, but if you want to download ANY type, just install "Download All Files", an app from the market...

Went back to stock, flashed New Rom, downloaded gallery lock. If i use root browser i can navigate to the for and see all my files, but when i use the recover option in the app it finds 0 files. I have some pretty important stuff in there!

does it show your file when u open gallerylock? And if you see them in root explorer cant you just copy and paste. Also...doesnt gallery lock rename the file extentions?

In the past i have been able to recover them without touching anything, but this time it's giving me hell. I think i need to move the files, but not sure where, and of course the dev won't respond.

I simply used root browser to move all the files from my saved gallery lock folder, into the new gallery lock folder that was hiding in sdcard-data- gallerylock. Then i opened the app again and did the recovery again.

i downloaded Grunge Icons from the app store, but want to use them on Carbon Rom's ribbons.
MY questions is this: When i downloaded them, where were they stored? have a good file manager, but search on phone sucks!
thanks,
Are you rooted? If yes then you can find the apk at syatem root data/app folder.
