Weird SD Issue - 5mb of memory still in use even when card..

Hi,
I have a Dane Elec 512mb mini SD card. I use it to store music on my Mini XDA s and do this by syncing it with media player on my desktop pc.
I noticed that even when i delete all the music off the card it still says on the device and in windows media player that there is still 5.37mb in use?
This is weird as the card 'appears' to be completely empty. Anyone else had this or know why?
I just noticed on the 'Sync' panel in media player there is a button at the top right that says "Format storage media".
Is this a safe way to wipe 'everything' from my SD card without messing anything up? (Its just i have read horror stories on here of people formatting their SDs and them losing memory afterwards).
You can format you SD card no probs, I've done it on several devices. You could do it with a card reader or by using a prgramme like Wintersoft Storage tools which also lets you analyze and defragment the card too. Typically you can reclaim a little bit of space this way too.

Android 6.0 Marshmallow Issues

I was really looking forward to this update for my 2015 Moto G 3rd Gen, mainly because of the 'adoptable storage' feature. My handset is 8GB so I presumed this feature would add my Micro SD cards 32GB and combine it all. It makes it look like it does, but actually it really doesn't...
Firstly, when you choose to use the adoptable storage feature, all apps that couldn't be transferred to the SD card when you had Lollipop, still can't be. Meaning your physical internal storage can still get full - I know this because GTA won't install.
Also, you can't choose to have photos and videos to be saved to the SD card if you choose to have adoptable storage - I also know this because my physical internal storage increased heavily after taking a HD video.
So, you can choose not to use adoptable storage and just have the SD card for photos and videos and music... but now if you do that, no apps whatsoever can be transferred to the SD card!
It's a stupid change and I wish I'd stayed on Lollipop - that way, all my photos would automatically save to the card and I could transfer apps that were allowed to be transferred to the memory card.

changing from an external SD to built-in

I have an LG G5 with an external SD.
I don't use any cloud services (and I never will).
I'm thinking of buying a new phone but a lot of them don't seem to support an external SD.
On my G5 I can't write to the gallery pictures directory (DCIM) through the usb data cable, I have to take out the SD card.
I have a lot of pictures on the SD card that I would want to transfer.
Is the DCIM directory writeable on the Google Pixel3 XL?
If not, how to people transfer files?

Choose location of private folder (Internal/SDcard)

Hello,
First of, I have been using MX Player Pro on all my phones since since release. I love the gesture controls, and am annoyed whenever an app forces me to use their inferior built-in video player
I was happy for the built in private folder, removing the need for an extra 3rd party locker app.
However the current implementation of the private folder seems to store all of the data in the internal storage. This is inconvenient, as I am using a Motorola g8 power with a very limited internal 64 GB memory, with an external SD card of 256 GB.
While in theory android allows for using the SD card as internal storage, this option is disabled on most phones because it can make the phone slower.
Similarily, my phone did not allow me to move the data of the app to the SDcard. (Not 100% sure, it might be that this just didn't increase the leftover space in the internal storage).
I would love to have a setting in the menu to store the data of the private on the SD card.
I totally second that. MxPlayer saves in root of Internal Memory in \MxPlayerPro\.private
Since all are videos, encrypted, they will take a lot of space, quickly filling the internal memory.
I have a Note 20 Ultra with 128gb, and my private folder is 60Gb of it
I tried just moving the folder to the SDCard in case that MX player would read it from there, but didnt work.
