Hey guys wondering if you could help me out here I have a major problem,
So last night I tried downloading a few songs on to my phone and I got an error saying that I don't have enough space. I have a 4GB sd card and I don't have much on it, so I went into a file manager to check it out, and lo and behold, I see a folder titled "blackmart" taking up 99.88% of my storage space. It has a crapload of random files that are just numbers and weird symbols as the title but I can't open them. The whole folder is 651.57GB, or so the file manager says, which is pretty impossible since my memory card obviously does not hold even a hundredth of that.
So I tried deleting it, and it just reappeared. Tried deleting again, again, again... still keeps reappearing.
I do not have a usb for my phone, but I did try connecting it through AirDroid (managing my phone on a desktop over my wifi network) and deleting the folder, but I still get the same results.
This is frustrating because I can't download any music or apps or ANYTHING.
If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it. Thank you very much in advance!
P.S. Not sure if this is very important but when I first rooted my phone and was still experimenting, I downloaded the BlackMarket app and everything was fine. Then I uninstalled it since I didn't want it anymore, but this folder is here, and I'm almost sure that it is from that app because somewhere in the 1,301 files that are in the folder are a couple of apk files that I downloaded with the app.
EDIT: Noticed that when I go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage it says I still have 2GB left, but the file manager says differently and I still cannot download anything.

I installed a piece of software, which i had hoped would install onto my SD card. It ignored the request in the "install to default location" box, when i picked storage card.
So i tried uninstalling it. However, it said a number of files were in use of "read only". One of these was \windows\dl.dll
I checked the file, it wasnt in memory (how can i tell anyhow?), and it wasnt read only, but i wasnt allowed to even manually delete it.
Anyone know the best approach to these situations?
Try to soft reset your device, then try to uninstall directly after booting process. It works for me all the time, it seems that some application locks the file you need to be uninstalled.
I think i tried that. It was a Today screen Item. So i took it out from the today screen. Then rebooted. But still the files seemed to be "in use"
Hi, pretty new to this , but I looked around for quite a while and cant find a similar case.
I rooted and did a backup of my nexus 7 and sent it in for repairs. I got it back yesterday and rooted and tried to restore my backup, the download took forever but did finally finish. after rebooting I expected to see the restore working, but nothing. was updated at all.
So I proceeded to download everything manually and re-install, however now when I go to my settings > Storage it shows only 6gb available but I only have a few gb of music and apps on it. Most of the bar showing what's using the memory is just grey and it doesn't seem to be used for anything.
I loaded an app called disc usage, and it shows that in
/data/media/backups/015d8822008020f/2013-09-06-12-51 There are supposedly two files systemext14.win(12942mb) and data.ext14.win(7269mb)
Ithis app has the option to delete files and directories, but when I try it says file or directory not found.
I cannot seem to find these files or directories with any browser. I tried fixing file permissions - but that didn't help
How can I get my
Hi, I hope you can help me. My phone memory is getting too full, so I have tried to delete music files using HTC Sync Manager. It has worked in the past, but is not now. I have tried 3 times to delete files, but they still remain on my phone! I highlighted the files in Sync Manager under my phone folder, it shows that it is deleting in the little icon, however, when I unplug my phone from my computer, they are still there. I have also turned my phone on and off to see if that helps, but it didn't. Is this some new problem with Sync Manager and HTC Desire X phones???
Hope you can help! Thanks! Nancy

Have you tried to delete files using a file manager directly on the phone like ES File Explorer (just search for it on Google Play)? That should avoid the need of connecting it to a PC for deleting files on the phone.
As far as alot of space being taken up check LOST.DIR (i think) on your sdcard, it might have a few large files there that are corrupt (used to happen to me quite alot)
Try to Wipe all data,cache and sdcard

he just wants to delete some music files, not EVERYTHING, duh!
So I totally jacked up my phone and I don't know what else to do. I have the Galaxy S3 tmobile (sgh-t999). I had rooted it over a year ago and everything was fine until today. I had used Odin and set up the clockworkmod... rom... thing. Of course now I doubt I even did that correctly, maybe I'm just in over my head...anywho...
I was trying to transfer some files from my pc to the phone. (kies air never worked for me) Well, I had plugged in my phone and in windows explorer it showed something along the lines of 'samsung mtp phone' when I opened it up only 2 folders showed... media and data. The data folder looked like the list of files/folders I would see when I'm in the file manager on the phone but everything listed were showing ad unknown file types. No option to open anything up. The media folder was the same but only listed my pictures and music.
Well, i had rebooted phone and computer, reinstalled usb drivers, same result. So I guessed that maybe my rom version was outdated or something. No luck on figuring out how to update, so I had the briliant (sarcasm) idea to try a different rom. Long story short on that mess, the new rom didn't improve anything with help of transferring files from pc. Then I decided maybe factory reset would fix the issue.
Here comes more ignorance on my part, apparently the new mod I put in was removed but the original stayed. Fine whatever. Here's where my phone it jacked up...
First off, I don't have my notification bar (I've checked in every setting menu, no avail)
I am also missing my web browser (tried downloading from play store which leads to next issue)
I cannot download anything from the play store, I click on install and nothing happens, no error message, nothing (I had attempted to download the .apk file for google chrome and move it onto my phone via memory card but when I click on it to install it says 'unable to find application to perform this action')
Now trust me, I have tried clearing cache, clearing data, app permissions, force stop, uninstall updates and I've done a factory reset 5 times. I apologize for the long post, but I just want to give all the info I can and hope to no end that I can get my phone functional again. What else can I do??
wow such a long letter
ok let me think about it
and tell about it soon as possible
Update....
I got the idea to flash the stock rom back onto the phone. After I flashed it and did another factory reset, I have been able to get my phone functional again. Everything is working fine. Even the phone doesn't know it had been rooted. Currently I am getting everything updated while it is still stock, I'll then just root it to get rid of the bloatware... no more tinkering.
Hello, since few days it started to happen without any reason, i think. I didn't change anything since few weeks, nothing new installed, no messing around with settings. Using any file manager tapping on a file pop up appears with apps to choose as default, so I choose then if I try to open same file again pop up appears again like I never set it up before.
Yesterday, I did a clean flash and intalled all I have from scratch. My tablet was in a factory state but the problem persists. But today at 6:00 AM something came to my mind: it could start happening since... I change app to mount external 1TB NTFS hard drive. I was using Paragon before, now it is MLUSB mounter and ... FILE MANAGER!!! This was the problem and it was blocking every changes. After uninstalling I opened Total Commander and all lastly opened files have icons of associated apps with them. I knew it will work and it is. At least I have fresh system, now.
