If deleting a folder/last file in a folder/all files in a folder at once,
the folder doesn't exist in the list of folders but still exist in the phone as empty folder.
You need to delete it from the phone using file manager app

Hi,
It's an intended behaviour. Folders may contain some other files too. MX Player deletes only media files within that particular directory.
I will convey your feedbacks to our developer team for future improvements on it.

Thanks for the quick response.
I think the best solution is to enable/disable this ability via Settings.

Hey guys,
Any idea? I have tried the method that putting the .nomedia file in the folder. But it's still not working because I can see the texture of the game in the gallery. You know, it's so annoying.
Is there any way for me to choose the folder of gallery using the official one?
----------------------------EDIT-----------------------------------
I've checked the file and the file surely is named ".nomedia". But the problem is still right here. So...any idea?
Side question: Will this method be applied to other sub folders automatically?
---------------------------Solution----------------------------------
After putting the .nomedia, you have to clear the data of both gallery and media storage. Then, reboot it and...the problem is solved.
Isn't the file supposed to be named .nomedia?
I'm sure Android will try to read a .txt file, so it wont work to exclude that folder.

I've tried in my SGS2 and it didn't work till I rebooted the phone (maybe the images are cached on boot/init). Could you try rebooting to see if it works?
It should ignore all files and subfolders where .nomedia is placed.
Is this Monopoly youre playing? this also happened to me and I also got the answer here on XDA.
After you put the .nomedia file in the main folder do not reboot yet. clear the cache of both the "gallery" AND "media storage", now you can reboot and see the effects that nomedia has on your gallery.

Hey, you are the man! I have clear the date of both gallery and media storage. After rebooting, the annoying pictures are gone! It's just awesome to keep my gallery "clean". Thank you guys.
Hello,
I rooted my TF 700 and upgraded to JB, delete loads of rubbish, now the tablet flies. However I got a problem with gallery app:
It dose not show any of the images I copied to tablet, the pictures I took from camera shows up the gallery but other images I copied do no show up.
I tried different galley apps all got the same problem, I tried media rescan app as well did not solve the problem.
Just wandering anyone got any ideas?
You help is much appreciated.
How did you copy the images, and into which folder? Do the files show up in the file manager at the expected location (/sdcard/Pictures usually)?

I copy the files into the same folder as where camera images stores, yes the files show up in file manager and I can open it.

You need to copy to your picture folder (/sdcard/Pictures).
Try rebooting the device. Android does a media scan when booting up, and it should pick up the new pictures at that point.
I have some music files I copied to the "Music" directory of my Note. The stock player won't find them. They are all MP3 files. I downloaded a trial of PowerAmp and that won't find them either. I have the card (a 64GB) formatted as FAT32. If I use root explorer I can find and play them manually. Is there a music app I can download that will open and list them normally or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!
Silly question but did you put a .nomedia file into the directory these songs reside. If there is a .nomedia file then the music players won't see anything in there no matter what, neither will any other media app, video or pictures won't be found by their respective apps until you use a file explorer to oen them manually...
You may need to go to settings in your file manager and allow to see hidden files....

Yes I saw when searching for a solution that some apps might install such a file but it's not there. I'm rooted and use Root Explorer and made sure that hidden files are viewable. Interesting also that RockPlayer does see and play the files. Any other suggestions? I did also use CWM recovery to clear the Davlik Cache, and also cleared data from media storage in app settings and rebooted without luck. Thanks.
After playing around and installing different ROMs, I noticed a folder called 'vrtheme' on the sdcard. Not my biggest concern, except for the fact that my galleries are scanning that folder, which in turn lists about 10 folders with pictures.
I've tried everything to remove this folder, but keep getting a permission denied error. I've tried simply adding a .nomedia file, but can't modify the folder whatsoever. I cannot rename any files, can't move them either, can't add files.
Please provide any other suggestions. Thank you!
Copy everything important from your storage then perform a /sdcard wipe in recovery. This is assuming the file is on your internal storage.

Connect your phone to PC,run adb shell in CMD,and get root permission(su),and then,delete it(rm -r).
the current/default config of viber for its received images is
/sdcard/viber/media/viber images
im not an android expert, but i learned that "to hide" a folder, we simply put a period/dot (.) before it
so if we want to hide photos folder from the gallery, we simply rename the folder into .photos
and the contents of the .photos folder would no longer be displayed on the gallery
however, i dont wanna rename the /sdcard/viber/media/viber images folder because i'm 99.9% sure, there would be conflict with viber settings
question:
how do i change the received files folder of viber so that i can direct its download/storage to .whatever folder?
just wanna follow-up..
You can add an empty .nomedia file to any folder you want to hide from image apps. Every good image app will respect this and will not show images in such folders ...

genius! it indeed hide the images inside the said folder
but i have another prob..
when i wanted to "show" the image files again, when i deleted the .nomedia file
still the images are not displayed
it has become irreversible
how do i revert the process?
huhuhu
You probably have to kill the image app (or maybe clear it's cache) and restart it. It depends on the image app, but it of course can cache data...
QuickPic is good and has an entry in the menu to hide and unhide folders and to show hidden folders as well... hiding a folder in there does just add and delete such a .nomedia file
