Hi, I am having a issue of which some files are being created even after I delete them. For example I have a file called "Fabolous ft. Jeremih - Its My Time.mp3". Which is fine, then I have a file called "Fabolous ft. Jeremih - ItG��s My Time.mp3". I have deleted this file with the weird name many times and it always recreates after a few seconds. There are also a few more files doing the something. Does anyone know is causing this? Please help

Is it only happening for media files? If so, it may just be your media player creating a thumbnail cache, try disabling all mediaplayers and deleting.

Yea seems to be media files. When I delete through TWRP recovery, the files don't duplicate upon deleting. Weird
Is this on a SD card or internal? Not sure if this is your issue, but I've heard of SD cards failing or wearing out and becoming read only. End of life on write cycles. Maybe TWRP rewrites over the deleted file which causes permanent deletion. Not quite sure on that.
Also, try to copy your important files off the card and re-format. Then paste your files back. Worth a shot.
Let us know what you find out. I'm curious about this.

Guys - I am new to this, so please be patient!
I have a problem with a load of corrupt file names in my IE temporary files folder. I have no way to delete them - going through PIE's 'Memory' option does not work, Total Commander cannot delete them, I even tried with a DOS command line utility.
The problem seems to be that the OS is unable to delete the files because the files have invalid characters in their name. I have tried moving / renaming them, but again it dont work!
The files also have peculiar dates (eg 01/03/1601), and appaerently huge sizes (3GB!).
Is there any other way I can delete them?
Any suggestions to fix this would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Hello, I have downloaded a zip file through IE. Where I can find it ?
Thank you
There isnt a specific place... each app has its own isolated storage where it keeps their files.
You should be able to open that ZIP file from the browser and it will show you the files within... if they are recognised file types by WP7, it will let you run them.
But that's it, you have no file manager you can goto and fetch that saved file.
PS: well, you have... but I'm unsure if TouchXplorer is still working or not.
Thanks for this, but how can i delete it if I can't find it? I use the TouchXplorer...
I am concerning about the phone memory.
Generally, files downloaded through IE are stored in temporary memory and will be erased after a certain amount of time.
I ran into the same problem today. luckily i hit the windows button so all I have to do is hit the back button to reach the zip file again. Kind of frustrating when you dont have a file explorer and no other way to reach the file you just downloaded
Hi,
I'd like to ask whether you are aware of .nomedia file bug in the ROM [Endymion V2.1|Sense 3.5|GB 2.3.5][Endymion kernel V1.1|OC|FFC] and if there is some way how to fix it.
I'm talking about the bug, that cause media files to be deleted without any warning, if you include .nomedia into directory after the mediascanner already "knows" about media files in there. Files are deleted during the next media scanning after insertion of .nomedia. I'm sure you know what bug am I talking about.
Sorry for posting it here, but I do not have enough posts to post it directly in dev section ...
Good work, you at least posted in the correct section.
PM Lowveld though, just to bring it to his attention.

Are you sure the .nomedia causes deletion of the files... or is it that they're just hidden from gallery?
Have you gone back with a file explorer and confirmed? I mean .nomedia files are just meant to hide files from showing up in gallery....but you seem to know what youre saying so i guess it could be a bug.
I'm only asking because i havent tried... if this does indeed happen, its a problem, could you confirm with a file explorer check and let us know?
I'm sure. I have checked the folders in a file explorer. The folders were there, subtitles were there, but the video files were missing (I have them on PC, no big deal).
It happened twice. I did not care for the first time, but I did some research on internet second time and found this - code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3692.
As you can see the bug is known already for 2 years, and not fixed yet...
Hi, does someone else notice this bug?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
Hello, I didn't know where to post this so I thought here would be best, so I can be pointed to the right place.
in one of my camera folders, I've had around 12,000 pictures "had 30,000 before deleting".. I decided it's time to move it to my PC and sort them out.. I have tried to copy them before when they were 30,000 but I've never been able to do that (it just doesn't work)
when I tried to copy them this time through connecting my Note 3 Rooted, I accidentally "cut" the folder and pasted it my desktop in PC..
the folder I have copied was Empty..
when I checked back on my android there was no trace of the folder.. and my Gallery no more shows the folder.
I tried to undo the process but it also failed.
I don't know where are the files exactly?
I've used DiskDigger to recover the files.. but I couldn't see them anywhere.
I've used ES file Explorer to unhidden the files (if they were hidden) but to no avail.
I hope someone, anyone, would know what I can do to recover the pictures or at least know what exactly happened
thank you!
anyone? where should I post this at least...
is this an issue that is not known?
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Have you written to the storage at all since these files went missing?

nope I haven't, I immediately did a recovery attempt..
the files are just not there... not a single one lol
so they must be "not deleted" somehow, somewhere.. they're there..

The only thing you can do is continue to try different data recovery methods and hope that one of them works. Sorry, that's about all the advice I can give you.

So, who else is having this problem? Loads of weird files are being generated in the Download folder.
Even after I delete them they reappear. Somebody knows why this is happening and how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Incomplete download?
Also happens for me, not just on the op6, also on the note8. I think chrome generates this files.
i had weird files all over my internal storage...also, weird folders...i just deleted them all and everything still works

My folder spells Download, not Downloads (no s). You sure you're looking at the right folder?

Make sure your browser has storage permission allowed as that is needed to write the download to storage or you will get a failed download.
Very late reply but go to chrome>settings>downloads>
Uncheckd/ untick "download articles over WiFi"
Off course after doing this articles on chrome will not be available offline
I am having this problem as well. Its only happening when i updated to android 10. And i have reset phone and not given chrome storage permission and still it is able to create those files in my storage?. Anyone know what's happening?
