Are you on root? Try deleting it directly through storage/sdcard0/ or if it still won't work directly delete it in /data/media/
Both folders should have the same content as the folder in /sdcard

Hi, I just change my sd card recently and I did transfer all and every single file from my old sd card to new sd card. Now I try to back up current Rom using clockworkmod.
However, it shown a msg "cannot mount cache" after back up system file. The msg as per below:-
E: cannot mount /cache/recovery/log
E: cannot read /cache/recovery/log....
Total 5 lines, all related to /cache...
Therefore did not create any md5 file. Any idea?

Yea, I did and also made it into gold card just in case..
From the error msg, I think there should be some file in /cache folder but when I view it with es explorer, /cache folder is empty. I did activated es explorer root access..

So after recently AE swapping my device, somewhere during the process of rooting the new one the recovery discovered a glitch. If I boot into recovery it says. "can't mount /recovery/cache" and if I try to install a zip from the SD it doesn't show any of my folders. It shows probably 6 folders all empty that I can't find anywhere on my SD. "GPU, weather, messages." I have tried re installing the recovery.

which recovery?
Um it's currently CWM touch but I tried putting regular CWM and it had the same issue. TWRP also shows no difference.

is there currently a rom loaded? if so I would say connect to it with command prompt and see if you can see the files with an adb shell
Yes the phone itself is working just fine. I sideloaded a rom. However not having working recovery is a significant annoyance. So I'm really just trying to fix the recovery itself.

So I just tried going to recovery. It displays the message.
" E: can't mount /recovery/cache/log
/recovery/cache/last_log
Recovery/cache/command. "
When I go to install from SD I don't see my SD folders. I only see.
" /0
/GPU
/clockworkmod
/mms
/weather"
None of these folders are on the root of my SD...

That's because you flashed a 4.2.2 Rom. Wipe your internal storage, reboot and copy your storage contents back to the phone.
Fyi your root has changed to /data/media/0/

Interesting, if I had flashed a 4.2.2 rom... But I didn't. I only flashed Ecliptic... But I'll try that fix thanks.

I've been noticing that I have no storage on my one so I cleaned it out causethe section called 'other' says it's using 18 gb so I deleted the nandroid backup I had and now other still says 12 GB it's using and I don't know what else it is. I've cleaned apps, music and my download folder but still that 'other' anyone have any ideas?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Browse through ES File explorer, or any other explorer. You may have a 0 folder which is sitting in /data/0 maybe..
after upgrading I found I had this odd 12 gig file sitting on the root of my sdcard. i deleted it and everything's running fine
No data/0 folder, is there an app that can tell me what the folder is?

Personally all data are used by CWM when you do a backup.
For see and download it, I used Rom Manager.

It has to do with how 4.3 and 4.2.2 Roms use the sd card vs 4.1.2. If you manually upgraded to 4.3, the symlinks to your sd card were not created, so you are not seeing music, etc.
I'm on a train right now, so can't point you to the correct threads that talk about this, but search for android 4.2.2 and sd card, emulated, legacy, /data/0 .

Uve got astro and root browser. My data/0 folder is empty and my HTC one has no lib.dir file that I can find. I've been deleting stuff and still over 12Gb in "other" I'm also using disk usage and no luck. Arrrggh frustrating

how about you check /data/media
history:
4.1.2: sdcard = /data/media
4.2.2+: sdcard = /data/media/0
but nandroids usually are still in /data/media/clockworkmod or /data/media/TWRP
you need a root-enabled browser to view files&folders in /data/media
SD card data is empty,media folder is empty. I am rooted not sure what u mean by root enabled browser but I enabled hidden folders in astro and root browser and deleted bunch of stuff from the cache folder but there's still a lot in there that I cannot delete. After all the new deletes my 'other' is still at over 12GB. It was at 18GB till I erased my clockworkmod backup but this only came about after doing a backup before flashing a rom.
If I had any hair I'd b pulling it out about now

that's cause the file explorer is not in ROOT mode
Umm no idea there was a root mode I'll look. Nothing indicating a root mode with astro at least only enable hidden files

get ES File Explorer (free app), then enable Root Explorer (screenshot attached)
Got it and its enabled but under sdcard/data is empty
Sdcard/ media is empty except for 1 ringtone
Sdcard/clockworkmod has an empty backup folder and a download folder
I don't seem to have a structure that goes
SD/data/media/0
In the data folder there is nothing
I do see a sd/0 which has a bunch of folders which looks same as under sdcard. I've looked in the sd/0/data=nothing
Sd/0/media=nothing
Sd/0/clockworkmod= nothing

I notice in that directory there's a folder called backup that's got a lot of stuff in it. Would b safe to delete all I wonder. Folder is called com.Google.android

why not run the "SD Card Analyst" (ES Explorer, see first line of screenshot i posted) in /data/media and see whats taking up space.
Shows file 0 is 6.80GB , obb is 4.18 GB then the DCIM folder is 2.65 GB
Can I delete the obb folder and the 0?

have root? if so get root uninstaller.
i don't remember those apk's specifically tho. not sure where you got that stuff. do you know what it is?
You've been visiting naughty sites!
Try force stop before uninstalling.
Daily motion, lucky patcher, etc. I tried to force stop before uninstalling and that didn't work. No naughty sites.

Looks like these are on your SD card. Did you try backing up internal storage, removing external SD then delete? Might have to do some SD house cleaning!
No I haven't tried that. What would be the process?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Backup internal storage to PC, then go to settings/general/storage and select format SD card. Do the same with your external SD but use a card reader with your PC. Delete the apps again and reboot. Hopefully the rouge apps will not reappear. Then copy the files you know back into internal storage. Try not to over write anything in internal storage unless you're sure you know what it is. Same for external. Format SD card then copy back the files from the backup you made. If you're not sure about a file, don't copy it back to storage. Hopefully this will take care of the issue. It's also good to clean stuff from storage that serves no purpose. Good luck!

If I format my internal sd without backing it up what will I lose? Im not worried about anything on it getting lost.

Everything you see in that directory when you view it on a computer.. You will loose all photos, music, games and any other personal data or apps you have downloaded or installed. You will basically have a new phone with only stock apps and data on it.
@Solarenemy68, thank you. Will I lose my root?
