Hi all
I've analysed my data partition and there's about 5gb of temporary files allocated to data/local/.drm

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is it safe to delete the temp files as that's a lot of space given my device has only 16gb internal and the color os doesn't allow app to SD transfer?
Thanks
Paul

I had the same problem. My oppo sometimes, totally randomly, mostly when it's plugged in, goes in a writing spree and creates these huge files in the /data/local/.Drm folder, up to choking the phone into freezing and preventing it from starting again. Luckily I had the teamwin recovery and I could free up some space to let it start again.
Anyway, I have this problem regularly. I just delete all those files or the entire folder and the phone is back to normal, no loss or no other collateral effect. I can't understand if it's a virus/malware that I have our anything else

I unlocked my phone and reformatted the sdcard a couple of weeks ago. I just noticed that I have nearly 1,200 zero-length files in the root of the sdcard with what look like randomly generated filenames - here is an example: fde2bd40-e3d1-4d4f-9db9-ca21e043d0ae. What is generating these empty files and why aren't they being cleaned up by whatever is creating them? Has anyone else run into this? The filenames all have the same pattern with hyphens after the same number of numbers and letters.

On the internal storage, there are three zero-length files with the same type of random filenames with the same pattern.
No replies, so I wanted to follow up for others. I ended up just deleting them all. I still have no idea where they came from - maybe titanium backup or some other program's temp files. I haven't had it happen again yet.
I have the same issue... I have no idea what's causing it, but when I try to delete all of them, they return within a day or so. Is there an application that causes these? Is it a phone leak? I have a Moto G XT1045.
Hi I'm getting weird files with encrypted files names.
They always reappear even after I deleted them.
I recently formatted the data on my phone through TWRP while having some files left. This might be related. Anyone knows how to delete them permanently? Thanks.

Can you share a screenshot?
Encrypted Internal storage always will show weird folder/file names you had to enter your current password to let twrp decrypt your storage

Hello everyone,
My fiancee has an A8 and we are close to upgrading, but her memory was running low so she decided to go into phone clean up mode just to get us to the upgrade.
She normally just deletes old photos (I have tried explaining the cloud to her, but not yet...) but this time she found herself in the files section of the phone. She deleted something in the files that then deleted all her photos. Now, when we go to trash as she normally would to restore those photos, it shows 1300+ photos and 8 vids are in the trash, but they are all greyed out with an i button. When we click restore, it says they were successfully restored but are nowhere to be found.
I suspect what is happening is she deleted a folder, and when we restore the photos they disappear because that folder path cannot be found anymore? Any thoughts?
See attached picture of here trash bin.

Any help is appreciated. She is convinced they are all gone, but I am more hopeful!
Hi, i have Mi 9T with lineageOS 17.1, that i deleted accidentally a folder with pictures, but as precaution, i have a few data recovering apps that use root and can do a proper "full" scan for recovery, instead of just "deleted" recovery.
they use root, but they don't see the partition where the user data is, and find nothing after scan. tried 3 apps that use root for a proper recovery, all result the same. nothing is found to recover. some don't let select where to scan, but the ones that have this option, only show this:
{
"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"
}
Don't know if is a magisk problem, or if the "list" of partitions that is show to an root app is configurable, or i need to mount something to make it able to see the user data (i think /storage)
any help appreciated
Hey there, i just read this on a rom thread for an old device. That RR rom is old, from 2018, so i'm not sure if it's doing it with other version/on other phone BUT when reading this it reminded be at that period I HAD TWO SDCARD that became read-only, so unusable/dead basically. Made a lot of research back then and tried many things but no luck.
The reading i had today says "an app could fix the affected sdcards" however the person couldn't recall the app name. Anyway, i'd like to hear from people who had such stories & fixes?
How is the write-protection tab on SD-card set?
