as far as i know, .dumbster is the file generated by the play store app Dumpster Recycle Bin. This app is used to restore files that you have previously deleted. Its like a buffer space.. When you delete a file from your phone, Dumpster will copy it to this location so you can restore it later. Uninstalling Dumpster Recycle Bin should solve your issue. Deleting this file means that you will no longer be able to restore files accidentally deleted.
diffrent question
alrent you are awsome man. Could you help me ?

I'm running short of storage space on my Diamond, and while browsing around in File Explorer I noticed that there are copies of all the HTC demo media (album samples, mp3 files) in the Windows folder - there's easily 2-3mb worth and I could do with deleting them. However it won't let me, is there a way to get rid of them?
Kind regards
Dave
maybe this help

Thanks, that was helpful - but although they talk about deleting files from the Windows folder in the thread, it doesn't exactly detail how :-(
Kind regards
Dave
most files in the win dir are not in storage but in the rom itself
and can only be deleted by cooking ones own rom
also rom space not used is not merged with storage
so i would not really help you
if you want more space
You can do it by replacing them with some 0 KB files that have the exact same file names and extensions. I just posted this thread for 46 useless files in the Windows directory that will free up more than 10 MB. If there are any other files that you want to delete, just create a new text file, rename it to the file that you want to delete, then copy it to the Windows directory to overwrite the original file. Always backup the original ones in your computer just in case you want to restore them.
I was also thinking about this, but didnt test it yet . Very helpful.

That's good to know, thanks.
If, as I understand from reading earlier posts, the files are indeed in the ROM and they don't actually take up storage space then I might as well leave them where they are.
Thanks!

What is that directory and can I delete its contents?

Simply put, it is a system directory for files that the file system check finds and believes has errors. It can be deleted and it will be recreated. If it is not taking up too much space it is better to just ignore it.

I was just wondering... when you download an app from the market, the apk file is clearly saved somewhere... but where? I mean, sometimes the download is successful, but the installation fails. instead of downloading the file again, I'd like to launch the downloaded apk and re-install directly. Anybody has a clue?
/system/data
EDIT: Oh, nevermind, I didn't realize you meant when the install fails.
If not on root/data/app than try root/mnt/asec/ and they have many folders wich have inner files that name "pkg.apk" but apk icon say about that file was installed...You can copy in external drive and change on original name.

/cache
The size of this partition may be the root of your install failed problems. When I first flash JVR, I hit the marked like a madman and just hit download on all the apps I regularly downloaded. The /cache partition quickly filled up and half of my installs failed. To make matters worse, the half downloaded files stayed in /cache and I had to manually remove them to regain the space (although I assume they would have been cleaned up next boot).
If the app installs successfully the apk is deleted from /cache and you can then find it in the locations mentioned by miro666.
I am replacing my EFS folder using ES File explorer with root permissions, but when I paste it to overwrite the EFS folder, I get an error:
"No enough space!
Required space:2.00MB
Available space:0.00B"
Not sure what the problem is. Hopefully someone can help me out.:good:

Because I flashed CM10 and need to restore my IMEI.
Anway I fixed it on my own. I just pasted the contents of the EFS Folder and it worked!
Also I did have more than enough space, which is why I was confused
Hope this helps others who have the same problem.
Hi guys,
This for reporting a thing that is happening to me with my OnePlus3T.
I noticed this issue only for the specific file shown in the screenshots.
The file affected is the only one stored in the "ModdingRen" folder.
I am able to delete the entire "ModdingRen" folder from my PC but the file and the folder are not effectively deleted as I can see from any file explorer app.
More than this, I am not able to delete the file or the folder directly from the smartphone; doing this the operations fails as you can see from the error screenshot.
Have anyone never experienced an issue like this one?
is there an app associated with this folder? kill that app
or try to delete it from /data/media/0/

I was able to successfully delete the file and the folder from the " /data/media/0/" path! Really thanks mate!
Any reason for this?

I know multirom does some trickery to prevent apps from messing with your roms whilst still keeping them available.
