You clearly missed the tongue-in-cheek aspect of my comment, so allow me to put this into a clear question for you.
How do you expect any of us to know what is taking up space on your phone?
Try checking out the folder LOST.DIR, also check for backups: ClockWorkMod, TitaniumBackup, also check out the Android/Data/ folder for any left over game data.

You're very welcome. If you search for "Folder Size" in the Play Store, it'll tell you what folders are the biggest, etc.

Look in folder "downloads" you probably will find a lot to delete there

Yes you can do that if you use dolphins hd browser. This is what you need to do.
Open the dolphin hd browser.
Then hit menu button and select more-settings -data storage settings-Download directory.
Then type: /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/folderName.
I have tested this and it works.
Edit: the same can be done on stock browser by selecting the default storage from phone to sdcard. It'll automatically create the download folder.

The data is located here:
/sdcard/.SamsungMediaHub/files
Not sure if you can have them saved on the external SD card. I downloaded and watched a few shows using the credit they gave us and then deleted the program.
U know what just forgot it i figured it out and that guy that posted earlier and said ure duchbags its true...

OK so basically I went from gingebread to jellybean by going to ICS in between. Whilst on ICS I noticed that the internal SD card wouldn't mount and in recovery it showed all of the file folders that there should have been but nothing in them. Now I'm on jellybean its the same. Is there any way to get it back to normal without going to stock?

check in file explorers for EMMC that will be your ext sd, if it shows up that way, look for an app on xda called RemountSD that will make your ext sd be shown as ext sd instead of emmc

OK what's happened is that the two files that I put on the external SD card are in download and nothing is in the external SD card file. I just need my internals back.

Update: I can't take a screenshot of notifications but that other screenshot I took, in notifications under the screenshot it says SD card is currently in use and shows a USB symbol although my phone is charging from a wall socket.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Try...from that screen press favourites, hopefully your get this (screenshot)
then press the phone icon and hopefully your get (2nd screenshot)
from there hopefully your find all your stored ext sd files in the emmc folder. If that is the case the i would recommend finding the RemountSD apk on xda, it saves alot of confusion finding your files

This is what I get. There was 2 lines more but thy were nothing.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Only thing i can suggest is if its nothing is in your extSD folder in that area then as a long shot, try fi ding and using the RemountSD app, do a search on the xda forum, it should be easy to find, once its installed tell it to remount and hopefully that will solve your problem and everything will be found on ext sd
this is the link to the app, hope that helps

No probs, hopefully someone will be able to help out more, i've not used any JB roms yet, if your looking for something custom but close to ICS the neutrino rom is quite good, comes with the remountsd aswell, i've not had any probs so far over the last month or 2 using it

Try ics sd binder first and see if that helps

Can you access it from recovery, mounts and storage and back them up to a pc. Not practical but at least you might salvage your pics.
Also I used ICS SD binder with no problems, you have to change the file path from emmc to extSdCard though otherwise it won't find it.

Has anyone else found the random hidden videos in their s3? These videos don't show up when you go to Gallery > videos. I found 2 videos in /system/media/video . 1 called android in space the other called sunset.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I found. Since then wondering what would be their use? They may have use for specific system feature.
The only way to have found them is by having root access or via es file explorer or something similar. Just another of Google's Easter eggs?

They reside on the preload partition, have no use and come from Samsung.
Not exactly "hidden" if you ask me.

Not true, they are part of android, not just Samsung.
Also they are not in preload, they are part of system/media/ as already mentioned.
They are in all android installations, CyanogenMod has them, aosp has them etc. etc.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
The reason for them being on the device as with other phones and tablets is so you can check video play back along with checking the screen quality while playing videos.

I would say they were hidden, a normal user wouldn't be looking around the root file systems. Most people who don't know what UNIX is would have no idea that there are directories other than what they can see on /sdcard

From normal user perspective they can be defined as hidden. I agreed. Wih Root and android everything.pretty much. is naked.
Hello XDA. I don't know if this is the right place to be posting this but I need some help with titanium backup. Every time I backup my apps and then restore them, the apps that have been restored don't show up in the notification bar when I receive a notification from that app. So I have to reinstall all my social apps so that I will get notifications from them. Or else people would talk to me on Facebook messenger, for example, and I would only be able to see that the moment I open the app. Because there's no notifications on the restored apps with titanium backup.
Does anybody else have this issue? And possibly a fix? Thanks.
Also, I use titanium backup premium version 5.7.0.1

I often have a problem with ebo birthday after a restore. Usually I have to remember to run the app once after a restore then it works fine. Maybe Facebook too. Though I'm not sure its titanium backup....

That doesn't work. I found that only instagram, facebook and messenger lose their ability to share notifications with the phone. And I use those apps a lot so I can say I ran them after restoring. And notifications still don't pop up. Therefore, no, I don't have an answer.

Are you playing a game called "Wild Blood" (it had a bad habit of making huge save files which ate up a lot of my memory) and have you tried clearing cache, cache files are generated every time you use certain applications, for example Chrome browser may generate more than 100mb of cache data .
