I've recently flashed Alliance ROM (aka beans build 21) but i've been having this issue for awhile now on and off even on previous builds and i'm wondering if anyone here has any solutions. Occasionally after a few days/weeks ill notice that some things just disappear from my external sd card (i.e. my entire music collection, pictures, camera folder, etc). Totally gone. The only thing that's left behind is a folder slightly resembling the original folder name. This is what the folders look like.

Again, i have no idea whats going on here. The sd card isn't that old, and its a class 10 uhs 1 Sandisk. I've never had issues with their products before so im assuming it has something to do with the phone itself or the ROM. After a full sd card format and re-transfer of most of the information that was previously on the card, it seems to perform perfectly fine. But again, after a few days (sometimes only one or two) the same thing happens and i have no idea what's going on or what i can do about it. I've done a full wipe on my phone (factory reset, data, cache, dalvik) including the internal sd card thinking that maybe it was some sort of rogue file on my phone causing a problem but i'm still having the same problems. Any info on what i can do or and ideas about whats going on would be awesome!

When I rooted my phone I used the stock SD card to make my gold card. I copied everything on to my PC before then deleted all files on the SD then proceeded.
After everything was completed, I copied everything back to my SD card but I did not delete the files reference the gold card. I only have approx 4g left on the card and want to clean it up a bit. What file (gold card files) can I delete to remove the gold card material. I know that will save me some space. Is there just one folder with all files inside (that would be easy)? I looked through my folders on the root of my card and did not see anything that would point out gold card files etc...
One day I will go ahead and purchase a larger card....
Copy everything off again, format it then recopy your data back to it.
FWIW, the gc.img file is tiny so I don't think you're going to gain as much as you'd like by ridding your card of it.

Thanks, will do. I never thought to reformat before putting everything back on.
All my pictures, Titanium Backups, etc are on this card, but I cannot find them. I flashed Liquid's ROM and did a factory reset, but for some reason it only backed up some old files in the 0 folder in my internal storage. That folder was actually one level down from the root-below the card's default storage spot, so not sure how it happened. When the OS loaded up and I saw everything was gone, I had a tiny heart attack. Couldn't find it with Solid Explorer, but saw that there was only 3GB of space left on the internal card, and this was a clean flash with literally no apps installed or data on the internal storage card. I knew my data must be somewhere on it! I remembered the app called Disk Usage that shows what's taking up space in your memory cards. I installed it and sure enough, there was a huge amount of data in a System folder. You can open the folders directly from the app, but I don't have the option with this folder (as seen in the screenshot, the SHOW option is greyed out). Can anyone help me? I know the stuff is there, just not sure how to get to it.

Found the answer in case anyone ever runs into this issue.
It is running CM 10.2.0-skyrocket and I just wanted to make some room on the phone for my senior mom by moving pictures to SD card and to my surprise half the pictures, if not more, is just a pixelized mess or just gray box.
Is there a way to recover the original pictures on-board storage?
from my past experiences w/pics short answer is no, once they've corrupted ur sol, best practices is to "copy" first then see if that went ok b4 deleting. i guess u "moved" the files first
Thanks for the reply, I installed several different recovery software which I think should have no problem recovering the pictures (I used them for SD cards before) but this darn phone does have Mass Storage Mode.
So I installed a couple of mass storage enabler apps from Play store, but when I enable Mass Storage Mode, I end up getting these:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I disable mass storage mode, I get access to internal drive but it shows up as media device of course and that doesn't get assigned a drive letter.
Yes, I should have copied first, big mistake, lesson learned, with one sad mom looking at gray boxes now..
Okay, I accidentally removed the adapter while partitioning my SD card using MiniTool. I just wanted to try out the flashable .zip I've made recently and because of so much excitement, I accidentally removed the adapter and forgot that I'm partitioning my SD card My taskbar was automatically hidden so I didn't noticed that MiniTool is running and I totally forgot all the other things since my mind is focused on editing the updater-script and so on... It's like I'm making a custom ROM for my device, then after that, I want to try to flash it through ClockWorkMod Recovery and because the version of my CWM does not support ADB Sideloading means SD card is my only option but... damn!!! Here, my SD card is now in Read-Only state and became Logical type :crying:

Any help you can give will be so much appreciated.
Try to backup your data and format it. Then repartition it again. It always works.
Ok, you can use minitool power data recovery to find your lost data and then using minitool partition wizard to repartition it again. the whole operations are totally safe, you dont need to worry about any data loss.
I believe I have to explain the circumstances first.
I bought my phone used, and everything but the SD card worked. My phone couldn't even boot with an SD card in.
Later on, a couple of the pins on my SIM card slot broke, and since the SD card slot and the SIM card slot on the Xperia L are a single module, I thought both would be fixed.
And anyway, I got my phone back from the repairs, and I inserted an SD card in - and my phone booted successfully; but there was a notification that the SD card was either blank or unsupported. I tried formatting it, but nothing really happened. The same SD card would work on many other devices; it worked on my computer, it worked on my old Nokia phone, it worked on my friend's tablet, and it worked on an older Sony Android phone.
Formatting from the phone itself does not work; formatting through a computer (FAT, FAT16, FAT32, ex-FAT) did not work. Really, I've tried other ones as well, including a brand-new one, and it still did not work. Even reflashing the original firmware did not seem to be working.
I believe that it's a hardware problem by this stage, but I'd like to try everything I can before giving up. Any suggestions?
