I use an OnePlus 6 with Android 10, and the same oxygenos. My storage is pretty much full, and when I go to settings -> storage, I see most of it is taken by multi-app. On going to settings-> storage -> multi-app, I see a category photos and videos with the same usage, but I do not see any file in it. I tried looking it up everywhere, there isn't a single mention of it anywhere which is weird. Could someone tell me what it is, and how can I make some space thus. I am attaching the screenshot below.
62.42GB used what?! Is that custom rom you using?
Nah. It is the default the phone came with. I haven't rooted it either. It is super weird. Let me know if there is any other info I could provide you with. Attaching a screenshot of the is below

hmm why does Apps say 7.5GB?? Try clicking Clean on Files by Google don't worry it would not delete anything it would ask for confirmation first it would just show the biggest and most unused files on your storage

Cleaning doesn't show much of a difference either. Please check the screenshots.
So it look like multi-app eat half of your internal memory have you tried going on options when accessing multi-app the three dots right above corner
I also have SDMaid pro. Running that did not make any difference either.
Also did you try looking for multi-app on App list via setting

how to enable true multitasking in wp7...
as multitasking is the most essential feature of a smart phone.
I have tried the instant resume tweak but it's still useless.
whai I want is the real multitasking as in Symbian.
there is a donotkill app list in wp7 registry but can't get it to work.
so any help regarding multitasking is most welcomed....
If you explain what you need multi tasking it would be easier to help understand why background tasking is inadequate for you.

What exactly do you plan or intend to do? That kind of functionality is available to developers through the Background Transfer APIs. On a Windows Phone, downloading in the background (or uploading) is not very useful for most Apps. Some scenarios where it could be are Apps like Dropbox, Skydrive, Nokia Drive (offline maps and voices downloading), for example.
well you all are not understanding so let me explain using example.
what want----
suppose ucweb is open and I am downloading a 200mb file what ever extension maybe.
when download is started after some time a message comes up power saving while downloading.
and it blocks the lockscreen to come up until download is completes.
but I in meanwhile if I minimize ucweb and open other app or simply lock the screen the download is paused,
this is what I don't want.I want the download to continue even I switch app or lock the screen.
the only app I have seen who's does it is while downloading any app from marketplace...as it continues even I switch to other app or lock the screen
so I explained it in detail.now suggest me any homebrew apps or any process to do that.
I am still pretty sure this can be done. But I do not know of any app that does it simply because there is no need for it.
And even if you did download the file, the only way you can take it out is uploading it to skydrive or some other cloud storage from the app that downloaded it.
And I still see why on earth would you want to download a 200 MB file on a phone.

Exactly, remember that like it happens with iOS in Windows Phone there's no way to store files and retrieve them easily. Every app is encapsulated and cannot access other apps files.
So for example, if you download a 200mb movie it will only be available through the app and not through Zune, and probably only while the app is open.
But hey, sounds interesting. Maybe I'll write one.

why is 200mb to biggg. and please name the app you are taking about.And don't worry about the taking it out by SkyDrive or any other cloud storage as I don't need to upload in order to get files out of wp7.5. I can take files downloaded by any app in my phone with help of PC data cable. i only want the solution of the background downloading.

I guess from years of rooting and changing roms and such the Google Play website shows hundreds of apps installed on my device that of course aren't.
By using Google Play on my phone and going to ALL I was able to painfully manually delete many of them but after a certain point it stops loading very old apps and no longer gives me an option to remove them from the list resulting in the website showing wrong results.
I Googled a solution but found nothing anyone here have any ideas?

My apps is what the OP is referring to. The only way to delete them that I have found is one by one. One of the true PIA's of the Play Store.

I've often wondered this as well. It'd be nice if the store would only display 90 days of download recency. It'd be even better if you could sub-cat the downloads by device (if you've had multiple).

I agree.
There should be an option within the Store to sync the device you're on @ that time and show what's been installed/uninstalled from Play Store for that specific device.

I don't know who that's directed to but I have ocd and don't see anyone making light of it.
Anyway I don't even mind removing apps one by one but it seems after you go back several years time (on your phone mind you under ALL) it stops loading very old apps and there is just no way to remove them at that point.

OK I apologise then. I thought YOU were making light of OCD. You know, the whole "If I don't do xxx then I will die" kind of OCD (of which I am sure you know, there is no other). I'm sorry to hear you have that. My suggestion would be not to visit the play website. It's definitely preferable to feeling you will die because it is untidy.
Although the way you phrased this thread, it reads more like "I like things tidy" than actually having OCD, so again I apologise
No problem. It's not like this is keeping me up at night but it is something that has been on my min d to fix for sometime.
Hey everyone! I have a problem with every N rom i've tried, that in some app like google photos, the default wallpaper picker, and the inbuilt file manager, lot of my camera pictures (from a specific date), and some of my wallpaper folders doesn't show up. But in other apps like totalcommander or Quickpic they are there. Do you guys have any ideas what's causing this? On MM roms everything works fine, and i haven't read anything like this from other users. I would appreciate any help or idea

Are your photos dependent on Google Photos? Maybe they're in the cloud and can be accessed on another device.
Also, use a root file manager to search your device for all *.jpg.

Here is an Excel spreadsheet that I made with all packages from the EVR-L29 and how to remove them without root. Each package name is listed along with the description of each package (if applicable) and whether or not each package is safe to remove. Use your own common sense on removal of some of these. Obviously if you want the stock dialer and contacts then don't remove the Android Dialer & Contacts packages. You need ADB & Fastboot extracted to a folder on your PC and you have to open up a command prompt in that folder.

I don't use the Facebook app nor do I screen share on Facebook so I really can't be of much help. Maybe there is someone else here who knows the reason why it's not working? The only thing I can tell you is make sure all of the permissions for Facebook are checked under "Special Access" in settings/apps/apps/3 dots at the top right, Special access.

Thank you! Uninstalled annoying facebook stuff and more importantly - Huawei's stock music app. Everytime I connect to my car, it auto launches and I resorted to denying it my storage access, but having it completely gone feels better.

I'm on the Global version. What's also interesting is that after a factory reset I have some menus and things that are different. Even though I am supposedly on the same build.
For example when you do the recent tasks, it used to show me all the apps running in a left to right scroll-able list. Currently its now an top to bottom list. Not sure I care either way, but it's interesting that its different.

Removing the stock launcher will change the recents to the old style. It was the same on my OnePlus 6.
I've had a S22 Ultra (S908B) for a few weeks now and have noticed that some APKs I keep getting deleted randomly.
The APKs are in subfolders and I sort the directory by most recently modified. Folders that I've not touched in a few days suddenly appear on to as they have been modified... the APK inside them is gone.
I can't think of what could be doing this.

Yeah, it seems to happen overnight between 02:00 and 04:00. It's always the oldest APKs getting deleted each time.
