Some of these magazine files can by almost 1/2 a gig make sure you clean them out regularly.

Where are those files stored? I tried to delete them but couldn't find them. Thanks.

Download and run Clean Master. They should be listed under apps.
Good to know

You can delete the one you have read by clicking on the top right corner and archiving them

My HD is starting to get a bit too full for comfort. Does anyone know of a free utility or way to find out what the largest files and folders are and delete them? I'm looking for something similair to ES File Managers SD Card Analyst. I thought Explorer might work, but it doesn't sort folders by size, only files. Many thanks in advance.

FAR Manager should do the trick for you...
It's a console app, so no graphic rubbish to care of

It seems like it might work. If I could figure out how to use it for what I wanted. At this point it just seems to be a slower Windows Explorer.

Do a Google search for treesize free. It takes a while to calculate the size of the folders, but everything will. There's no quick way to do it.

Thank you guys. I'm trying Teesside first. If that doesn't work as I would like, I'll give WinDirStat a try. Thanks for the help.

Yesterday, I used one of those retrieval apps to get back a couple pics that were accidentally deleted. But when it finished, it shows I have a little over a thousand pics alone that have been deleted, along with numerous other items.
How can I deleted those things in there? Will that free up any space on my phone (not having storage problems now, but would just like to have the space available)?

i would think sense they are deleted they are not taking up space that just like in windows the address of the files are erased allowing a new file to be written to that area the reason you can see them with the recovery progam is because nothing has overwritten where the deleted files are

I just wasn't sure, being that Android and Windows are two different systems. It also surprised me at the amount of stuff that's in there that can be retrieved.
Anyway, thanks.

Hello.
I know that kitkat implemented something about only letting the certain app to gain access to the folder it's using or something like that. So applications like vaulty doesn't work anymore. Dunno why they even made it like that. It worked perfect on JB. Why change something wich is working.
But, are there any apps or ways of hiding pics/video and whatever nowadays on Kitkat firmware?

However, try this

Well, not a super problem but sometimes i let the kids play some with the phone and they dont need to see everything in there, and their mom agrees with that
Vaulty was really great and easy to use.

I use AppLock and it's perfect.

If you are rooted you can use Foldermount to fix the sd card limitations in kitkat! And hide it pro(audiomanager) works fine for me! You can also try an multiple user account app!

Does it still work in kitkat to put a file called .nomedia in a folder to keep it from being shown in album and other such apps?

If you put a . before the foldername just like you said .nomedia will hide it from the album yes. Thats what ive used now. But im testing different apps. Applock seems good. Gonna try that foldermount aswell.

Hide It Pro have just a big issue to me, it move the pictures to his folder and is mess up with my stuff, I will prefer the pictures remain where they are.
AppsLock is very good but it missing the option to select single files, it just work for Apps, still good BTW.
Just curious, is there a way or an app, or a script or something to have the ability to just have screen shots, downloaded pics and what not to save to your external SD card by default? I usually have about 100+ that I have to manually move every time I flash a rom..

Just curious as to why you move them. Are you wiping internal storage when you flash?
Check out the Xposed module Downloads2SD.

No I don't wipe that, but it's my fearful OCD that my phone will just up and die and I will lose my SS's. I really hate using the "cloud". Don't trust that crap that much.
So use two clouds. It is very unlikely they will fail at the same time plus it will automatically synchronize with your pc. Dropbox gives 50 gig for new note users, google drive another couple gigs, same microsoft, Amazon, box, samsung cloud. SD card can fail too.

not really a huge fan of the cloud for pics and screen shots. Maybe small apps that can be redownloaded..

meh, it's not about the "horse" drinking water. It's is simply about seeing if there was something out there that would allow me to just have my screen shots and downloaded pics go directly to my SD card. It's my choice not to use the cloud. Personal reasons. Hence why I am here asking for some app or something.
Screw the cloud. I'm old Skool too. Now where's mg 5.25 inch floppy.

Greetings.
Im running the OneUI 2.0 beta, and I noticed that something is creating some sort of log files. (pelease review screenshots attached).
The files inside those folders contain some sort of logging info of my browsing data and such.
If I delete them, they re appear after a few minutes, anyone else knows what process is creating them?

Are you using "Link to Windows"? If so try disabling that and see if thats what it is. I don't have those folders and I have Link to Windows turned off because I discovered it was eating my battery.
