[Q] Cannot delete folder in data/data

I downloaded Quadrant on my HTC One to Benchmark it and then I uninstalled it however when I rebooted my phone I got a UID inconsistency error and I discovered it was this app so I had to manually delete the .apk to resolve it because for some reason it was still lingering anyway the folder for it is still in my Data/Data directory and no matter what I try I'm unable to delete it. I've used Root Explorer and Ftp'd in but no luck yet. Any suggestions are appreciated!!

Just make sure you have tap on "Mount as R/W" in Root Explorer

it is mounted a R/W

I just had exactly the same **** happen to me with quadrant. I resolved the uid issues by format cache partition and deleted the apk but that folder in data is not deleteable.
Can't install quadrant either as it says error 24. Well I have no idea what's wrong and also the free space for the folder in data matches the stats for the asec data folder. Weird !

I would put my trust in the original linux/unix command line utilities. I can recommend "Terminal IDE" as a package of a terminal emulator and a base system. Just start it, install the "system", then go to the command line. With
Code:
su
you should get root rights. And with
Code:
rm -r /path/to/whatever
you should either be able to delete it or get a more or less meaningful error message.

@ccxxx i followed your method but remained unable to delete the facebook folder...

Well, I/o error is bad. It usually means that the memory is physically broken but I think it can also be caused when the filesystem is corrupted.

I renamed the folder instead of deleting it and everything worked perfectly... does this still mean the memory is corrupted?

[Q] Empty folder in the storage of the Nexus 5

Hello, this is my first post on XDA. I noticed yesterday that all the files and subfolders in the folder /storage/emulated/0/download
are apparently disappeared.
Three file managers, Total Commander, Astro File Manager, and X-plore, display that folder as empty.
Instead, that folder contained many eBooks, PDF manuals of several calculators, and some other documents.
The app Device Inspector, choosing the option "Storage & Memory", displays the following data:
Device Storage, Used 12.54 GB, Available 11.16 MB.
Memory, Used 1.44 GB, Available 379.23 MB.
Thus it looks like the download folder is still holding all the files I have previously stored in it,
mostly from my PC via WiFi.
The problem is not only due to the fact that the files are now non-accessible,
but it is also impossible to install new apps, due to the lack of available memory.
The first thing I tried was to power off the Nexus 5 and then power it on again,
in order to reset the system, but that didn't work.
Then I googled looking for a solution, but with no joy.
All I was able to find is the advice to re-format the storage and to copy all the files
into the storage again.
I found also the advice to use TestDisk, a software for the PC, able to recover data from
SD cards, USB sticks, and so forth.
In both cases it is needed to use a PC, and I have two at home, but now I am on Summer Holidays,
and the only other device I have here is another smartphone, a Nexus 4.
Anyway I have the backup of all my data, of course, both at home and on an USB stick I have taken with me, and by now I would like just to know how to free the storage space in order to be able to install some further apps, to store some other photos and/or videos, and so forth.
Thanks for any explaination.

check /sdcard/ in the root filesystem using root explorer. i bet thats where all your files are, not in /storage/emulated/0/download

By now I cannot either install nor use Root Explorer, due to
a lack of memory and the fact that my phone is not yet rooted. I will try when I'll be back home.
In the meanwhile, I have seen that Total Commander, too,
can display the folder /sdcard/ under the folder Root of the Filesystem, but it looks like my files are not visibile.
Anyway, thank you for the reply.

Can't make calls after uninstalling LogsProvider

Hi everyone,
I have a rooted my Samsung galaxy s3 mini ve. Because it was permanently running in background, I backed up LogsProvider using ROM toolbox and then I removed it.
Now when I open the phone app, it says "contacts has stopped". So I can't dial a number, but when I open contacts I can select and phone someone.
I already tried wiping contacts data, no success. I tried reinstalling LogsProvider, it says : " LogsProvider wasn't installed ". In logcat I see " dexopt failed"
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How please?

Logs provider is a system app, it is not installed with the package manager. You need to copy it back to the system app folder with a root file manager.

and change the permissions to rw-r--r--

Thanks guys I copied LogsProvider.apk into /system/app and set the permissions but the app isn't installed after a reboot: (

So you rebooted and tried the dialer again? Did you double check that the Apk is still in system app folder, and has 644 permissions? Try 777 and reboot again.
Also did you remount the system partition before copying it over?

The dialer did not work and the app were nowhere to be seen in system app. This is the LogsProvider.apk properties:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How do I set 777 permissions?

777 is rwx for all three permissions. Also try group root.

I did it and reboot, but it looks like it messed things up. I'm not sure because I also installed or updated several apps, but now the xposed framework doesn't work anymore and on each startup, out asks me which launched I wanna use

Sounds like you gotta reflash to stock (or custom rom) and start from scratch re rooting and everything.

Thanks. How can I efficiently backup everything in a stroke? I have a very bad experience of adb backup or other backup solution. Perhaps copying data folder would be OK? And secondly where can I get a tutorial in order to reflash the ROM?

unable to copy a certain file

Not sure which channel to put this in, please move if this is not the correct one.
I am unable to copy a certain file. At first I tried using a cloud share app, then USB file transfer, then ADB, then local file browsing apps, finally a terminal emulator. All fail. I can see the file and the app that created it can interact with it, but I cannot copy the file, permission denied. Phone is rooted. This is a large file created by TitaniumBackup. It's large because the backed up app has a lot of data, about 4 GB worth. I can copy all the small files that Titanium creates during its backup process, including the apk and properties files. And I can rename the big file, even delete it, just not copy.
I don't think it matters but this is a rooted Pixel 5 with stock ROM.

Apparently the same issue is within Titanium itself. It can delete backups but not upload to the cloud using the built-in function to Sync to Google Drive. I am thoroughly confused.

Can you run 'chmod 777' for that special file in advance as your system has been rooted?

No issue chmoding but then can't copy still. Tried copying to the same dir and to my Download and Documents folders, same result.

According to the screenshot, it means that you have no permission to create cp.gz in this directory. So, try to run chmod for the directory at first.

I was told that chmod doesn't function in /sdcard due to how it's mounted. So I went into /data/media/0/TitaniumBackup that can chmod there but still can't adb pull the file.
Before chmod: -rw------- 1 u0_a256
After chmod: -rwxrwxrwx 1 u0_a256
But pull still fails:
adb pull /data/media/0/TitaniumBackup/ws.clockthevault-20201130-045341.tar.gz vaultcopy.tar.gz
adb: error: failed to stat remote object '/data/media/0/TitaniumBackup/ws.clockthevault-20201130-045341.tar.gz': Permission denied

It's gotta be size related. This file is just over 4.3 GB.

This is resolved. Someone helped me on another forum: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/231624/unable-to-copy-a-certain-file
