Well, this phone is great.
But I was moving some music around from the sd card to internal memory; using windows 10 explorer and it deleted the 3 original (MP3 I think) songs on the phone instead of moving them?
Mind you, this is the win 10 insider edition and it always does feral things to devices but I never expected it to delete the music as I had selected Move to the target destination.
Does anyone have those songs from the mate 9 that I could download?
And is there a safe way to move things from external sd card to phone internal memory that won't delete things? I think Windows 10 explorer is scaring me now.

My sd card has progressively been losing more and more space. I flash ROMs, listen to streamed music via Rhapsody and Amazon MP3 Cloud Drive and back up my data. All of my apps are installed to internal phone memory.
I used to keep zip files on my sd card. I stopped doing that when things got cramped. Now, anything I flash comes off my sd card immediately.
I used to keep several ROM nandroids, now I keep only a couple.
I used to have music stored on my sd card. I just removed all mp3s and now use Amazon's Cloud Drive to stream my own music and stream other music through Rhapsody.
I used to have photos and videos on my sd card. Now I have removed everything and use my phone only as a means to transport the media I capture to Picasa, Facebook and Dropbox.
Despite taking these steps, I'm down to my last 5 GB of space on my sd card. I should have at least 20.
I have perused my sd card looking for *big* folders but cannot find any.
I'm wondering that since I've streamed so much Rhapsody, if there are major caches stored somewhere. I noticed that after I uploaded my music library to the Cloud Drive and played some music for several hours that my sd card went from over 7GB to 5GB. Nothing changed except for streaming music.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?!
when you stream music, the songs are stored in the sd card memory in a format that i cant remember off the top of my head. If you delete them, they will just be redownloaded if you stream again. Other than that idk whats taking up so much space.
Free app called disk usage might help see where the problem is.

Thank you ever so much for that tip. That app found my problem in literally - seconds - after I installed it. My problem was my .trashes folder. There was 18 GB worth of trash in it. Computers were not able to see the contents. Now I have 24 GB on my sd card. THANK YOU!!!!!
Do you use boot manager? I know on mine it takes up alot of space on the sd card.

I know someone else suggested a solution, but here is another one if you use Astro. There is an option in tools that sorts folders and files by size.

UplI have my TF700(which I nicknamed The Beast), for a few days and I need help with understanding setting up my 32 GB MicroSD card.
A few days after getting my TF700, my ordered SanDisk 32GB card came in the nail.
I did not reformat it, as it seemed to work fine.
Now comes my confusion.
With the new card inside, I did the USB connection thing to my Windows computer.
It immediately said loading drivers and in Computer, I. saw two new drives listed.
One the internal storage, the other the MicroSD card.
I created a couple of folders and copied over the contents of two CD worth of songs, all in Ogg audio format to the card. No problems.
I opened up Poweramp on my TF700, had it scan for music and it found my Ogg audio files.
Poweramp works great and plays everything. store my music in only Flac and Ogg formats.
Plugged in my headphones and the music sounded incredible.
Now the weird stuff.
I wanted to move some data files over to my card. Plan to have the volatile data files on the card and the more static apps on the internal storage.
I opened File Expert on my TF700 and it was bizarre. I see these folders showing that are shown as being on my external card, but in reality, they are not.
There is a mnt folder and inside that is the SDCARD folder.
Then when I go back in File Expert and select the Internal storage, I see a folder called removable and sub folder of that called MicroSD. I opened it and there are where my real MicroSD files are.
What the heck happened?
No problems redoing things, but I don't understand. Did I need to reformat my card inside the TF700?.
Thanks in advance.

That's just the way asus tablets handle external storage (it could be the same with other tablets but I only had a prime and this). You're fine. You could use asus's stock file manager app to get to your microsd card easier.
I don't use File Explorer, but ES File Explorer, but I don't think it makes a difference, but might.
Anyway, on the TF700T when using a file explorer the internal storage is SD card. The microSDHC is actually underable "removable" storage. You'll see both listed when you hit the root directory. It took me a few minutes to figure it out.
Hi,
I bought a nexus 5 about a week back. I had a million music folders, so to organize it i put all in one folder. After that it never showed up in my music player, then all my high storage games like fifa14, MC4 stopped working, it said connect to wifi and download it again. I then checked my ES file Explorer, there was SDCard shortcut created in which all the folders were there and Nexus 5 has only Internal memory(No SDcard). I thought maybe it is virus, my antivirus said No issues and it detected only 3 apps.
What do you think is the problem? Should i format everything and put it again or can it be fixed ?
Thank you for your time.
On my Galaxy Core, since a few days ago, .nomedia files keep auto-forming on the external SD card, making it impossible for apps like play music or even the stock gallery app to detect any media . I delete them (the .nomedia files), format my sd card and put all my stuff back and it works for a few hours, then stops, and when i check it using root explorer, there's another .nomedia file. This is getting extremely annoying. There's hardly any point for me to even have an external sd card if I don't get to put my media on it. Does anyone know the solution to this? any help would be awesome. :crying:
I just bought a new SD card and have been transferring files from my old to the new one. It is mostly music, cca 30 gb from the old one and additional 10 to 15 from my pc. Anyway I transferred all of them and checked if they are there on my PC. IT said that i have some 20 gb fre of 64 gb. When I turned on the phone and went into Poweramp only a small amount of music was there. When I went to storage settings it said I only used 15 gb of my SD and going into file manager just showed folders but there were no files. I formatted the SD and copied all files again this time slowly copying 3-4 folders at a time and watching over the whole process and again the same thing. So I went over all those files and it turns out that those files are all my rips of cds that I did while I was still using iTunes and some of them with winamp. All torrented music was there. They are MPEG-4 audio files while torrents are mostly mp3. The thing all those same files still work on my old SD which is the same apart from capacity (class 10 32 gb). So it happens that files aren't transfered at all and not just that poweramp just doesn't recognize them and it worked fine for my old SD.
I'm using HTC One m8 on stock ROM android 5.0 with htc sense
thanks in advance for any insight you might have to fix this problem
I thought about that too but the thing is exactly the same files are missing twice while others are being copied.
Bump.
EDIT: just a small update, it's not about file type because some of the files that are mp3 are not copied while some mpeg-4 are. Anyway, all photos are transferred correctly but still audio files are sometimes copying and sometimes not
EDIT 2: so I just tried copying those songs that are missing once more for one album. they were copied and file manager said they are as big as they should be (around 10 mb) and poweramp recognize for their full running time. Bt only first few seconds of each song play and they are switched to the next one
