I was wondering if anyone has this issue. I have a AT&T Galaxy Note II. On my extSdCard I deleted a bunch of files that I no longer needed. But when I reboot the it displays a message, "Preparing SD Card", and the files I deleted are still there. Any suggestions?
Some files and folders are used by android itself and they are again generated if they are not present

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.

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.
On my phone, i open root explorer, sd and i can go to external sd. Hoever on my TF there is no external option. Why is this? TIA for any help.
Look in the 'Removable' folder, your external sd card will be there.

Awesome! Thank you so much!
Is it possible to rename the folders without causing any problems?

Running carbon ROM 1.3 my internal sdcard is not showing my anything that I have downloaded anymore on to my phone. The downloaded folder has disappeared and my music is not showing in es explorer. Though I can still play the files that I cant find, searches turn up negative when I connect it to the computer also. Only the external downloads show. Out of nowhere I'm now seeing Samsung apps and all share flees that weren't there before.
I also have multiple storages I can choose from that lead me to the same place ( see attached). I've used as rescan with no help coming from it. Any way i can go in and fix this error? Or even find out what's causing it?
Any help appreciated. Thanks much

People don't seem to be getting it. 4.2.2 ROMs will put a 0 folder on your internal SD. This will render everything outside of the folder "gone". Its all due to 4.2's multi user thing. I would recommend flashing back to 4.1.2, then using the file explorer move your music inside that 0 folder if you're planning on using 4.2.2 for any length of time. Either that or just start putting all your important stuff into your external then you don't have to worry about any of it

I'm aware of .2 and cwm /0 issue. The thing is this was not there before. This just started today. Been on the ROM for a while and this happened out nowhere. There was never anything more than SD card /0. Now unknown files are displaying and familiar files have disappeared. I'll try regardless though

Are there still issues with large micro sdcards with exFAT formatting in ASOP based ROMs?
When I was reading the forum I heard someone complaining that it wasn't supported.

The obb folder is in the root of my internal storage, not in the Android folder as it was on my Nexus 4. Is this the new location for it on 4.4?

Mine is in the Android folder in Internal memory on both, but it's empty on the N4.
Mine is in the android folder and in the root of internal. Do I guess it's normal.

Do you have more information? What ROM are you running, has the ROM been updated recently? I can't really tell you what to do without more information.

Hopefully you have a recent back up of your sdcard...
Wipe/format the sdcard, and then put your files back on it...
