Please help, what happened to all my storage? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

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?

Got 'other' down to 8.67 GB but still to much, before the backup I made and flashing it was only at 2GB

YOU ARE ON AOKP BUILD#40...ARE U KIDDING ME?????ALL THIS TIME I WAS THINKING THAT U WERE ON CM10.....emmc(external sdcard) works fine in AOKP build#40(it's already mounted)......(you can find it here....mnt/emmc)There is already a folder named emmc in the root of your directory and the external card is mounted to it......
Those busybox lines now mounted your ext sd card to (sdcard/emmc) and hence you can't get it mounted on to your pc

Disable the running script...uninstall smanager.....and u should be fine.....

0 Folder

I installed Cm 10.1 but returned to Viper's rom. Now I've an 0 folder. it seems to have the same things as the sdcard folder. Can I delete this folder and still be able to use my phone? It seems that TWRP reads that folder to install roms. Now my phone says its almost full of storage space and I don't have many songs on it. Any ideas? I've searched and haven't found anyting about this yet.
It is due to the multiuser support in aosp ROMs, to get rid of it I recommend backing up with titanium backup, wiping data and reflashing viper, that should do it!

So just reflashing Viper will get rid of it and open up more storage space?
I believe only if you wipe data

Deleting it will free up about 14bg of storage space
No, that's basically your virtual SD card...might cause problems...

The 0 has all the contents from your sdcard in it. Move them back to the root of the card then delete the folder. I had to delete it from recovery btw

I tried out cm10.1 restored back to viper Rom moved all the files back over deleted 0 folder but when I go back into recovery my files still won't show but they are where they're supposed to be it is like twrp is not reading the correct path to my files
Edit: I got twrp to read the correct path bit all my files are there but all they where all erased but showed as they were still there never flashing cm10.1 again sense5 is way faster and the audio is untouchable

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

sdcard & sdcard/0

Hello guys,
i got a Htc One since one week now.
I got a vodafone version and flashed the ARHD 12.1 rom on it.
I think i was first on Android 4.1.2 and the ARHD got it to 4.2.2.
If I'm looking in CWM-Recovery I got now two sdcards - sdcard (with my old files, e.g. the Android_Revolution_HD_One_12.1.zip) and the sdcard/0 with all other files I copied to the phone.
How can I delete the stuff on the sdcard? It seems that this is unused space because all my data get on sdcard/0.
I think this is due to Android 4.2.2 multiple user service?
Delete or move files from /sdcard to /sdcard/0 with any file explorer.

Tank you. I user Solid Explorer but can't find the sdcard partition. If I go into sdacrd I'm automatically in the sdcard/0 partition.
After searching i found this: mnt/shell/emulated
There are all the files... so that should be right, right?
And the /storage directory?
Edit: Jup sounds ok. You can also backup all your data and do a wipe sdcard in recovery and put eveylrything back
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
In storage directory i got this:
-emulated -> Internal Storage, Internal Storage (both show the data from the sdcard/0)
- Internal Storage -> the Data from sdcard/0
- usb -> empty
Ah ok, the idea with the wipe is great
I will do that! Thank you for your help!

[Q] Can someone please help me... PLEASE...

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!

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.
