I'm trying to figure out where all my memory is going..... and i noticed and I have seen this before of the infamous "0" file that is inside of the sd memory. Two different things; is it accumulating memory, and how do I get rid of it?
It is an exact duplicate of the sd card.... and lots of times my recovery twrp 2.5.5 can't find downloads Bc it can't find "0"....and i have to move the files after downloading just so the recovery can find it.
I'm not near a pc so could I move the whole" 0" file to sd card somehow? Perhaps create a temp folder move it there and the delete sd files... Recreate sd card and then move all files from "0" back into sd card files and get rid of "0" all together.... Something like that..... Not having a pc on vacation

The "0" folder is the primary internal sd card location on AOSP 4.2 roms, when you flash back to Touchwiz is becomes "0". The zip here will remove all of the files in that folder and put them back in the right spot for touchwiz roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1683644&d=1359382056
When I am on touchwiz I use the recovery zip above and then delete the 0 folder.

Check your sd card, do you have duplicates?

This is the two files or sd and sd0
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Leave it. The 0 file is normal and is the way it's is supposed to be. Legacy, '0', sdcard, and sdcard0 are all pointing at the same file. Delete a file in one place and it will be gone in all those places.
As long as you only have one '0' location you don't have a problem. Mostly just use sdcard (as you would on any device) and everything will work as it should. In some cases when setting a path in an app the app will follow the /storage/emulated/0 path. Just treat '0' as if it was sdcard.
These multiple paths to the same file location are called symlinks. Here is an explanation about symlinks and what they are used for.

All this is because Google turned JB from a single user device to a multiple user device, each with their own acct/login.

What I do is create a file on the s/d card. I name it +Flash. Then whenever I download anything to flash .. It goes into that file.
When you go into recovery and look at your files .. the + makes it be the first file. Makes it easy to find.
Hope this helps.

Thanks but the issue is that the zip file isn't showing I know where the file is stored but for some reason it's not showing for me to zip? I see the file when I look for it but when I go into recovery the zip file can't be found anywhere?

You most likely have placed it on the external sd card. Check. If so, move it to internal.

Is this a new thing? I used to always put zips on my external and flash from there. Now mine is similar to the OP. Some roms I put on my external and CWM sees them no problem. Other times the folder is empty. If I go in and move the file back to the internal it shows right up. It was nice being able to dump the roms on the external which has more space than internal.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I have always used the internal. I use TWRP recovery. You can select internal or external sd card to view when flashing.
Before when using cwm, I never had to worry. Placed everything on internal and it was just there when I was ready to flash. You could always use a file app to move older roms
To your external to save space. Take a look at TWRP. Its very quick for Nandroid backups.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
I second using TWRP; best Recovery program, imo. I had a few problems with CWM (even Touch version) back when I started flashing ROMs, but no problems with TWRP.
There's also an issue with the External SD listing coming up under the root emmc folder, rather than under Internal; can always check there for missing files stored on your External SD.

Use aroma file manager to move all your files into sdcard/0

using Aroma file Manager, wont help, still cant find the sdcard only sdcard0, i think i will just have to format my sdcard, it does show that it has taken space from my previous files, but still cant find these files
what should we do? same problem here! i can't hear songs or see pictures who are not in folder 0! how the **** whe change sdcard0 to sdcard? its driving me crazy!!
Android 4.2.x uses a different partitioning of some sort because of the Multiuser feature. All of your previous internal sd card data is in /data/media
Use a File Explorer with Root permissions to access this directory.

You need to get rid of cwm. It doesnt handle this well. Try Philz based on cwm as you can toggle between locations
Hi I am a new user SGS3 I9300, and I bought a micro sd 32gb UHS-1 I want to ask can I change the settings for file download, bluetooth files, game data, and others to be automatically stored in the external micro sd card and internal memory only for files apk only.
Thanks for the help
Not without root.... if rooted, "directory bind" on xda ... until 4.2

so is that directory bind can automatically do that or manually like we are copy paste?
Directory bind will move the contents of any folder on /sdcard and move it to any folder on /extSdCard then bind them. This means when you go into original location, you see files still but are actually in new location

So I was able to delete this before but I can't now and it's taking up hella space... I've tried searching to no avail so can anybody tell me how to delete the sdcard0 on my storage file???
So I guess it deleted everything all my pics and music and what not storage>sdcard0 still there... how/what do I do to set it back to normal before I start putting my pictures and music back???
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 4 Beta
sdcard0 is your mount point in the os for your internal storage it can not be removed, you can how ever format it in settings>storage. what rom are you using, are you talking about the 0 folder that sits in the sdcard area?
Yes I found that out the hard way HAHA I thought it was the one created when using an aosp or aokp ROM I'm running Viper DNA so just reformat it then? Just don't like that there are 2 files showing up with the same content in it one "SD card" and one in storage>SD card 0
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 4 Beta
instead of going through storage at root just go to sdcard and it wont show it as odd if you going to tell a program to save a file though it needs to have the 0. its just how 4.1.1 mounts it, if you had 4.2 you would have a 0 folder inside sdcard once you went back like i now do but am to lazy to delete cause theirs probably something ill need later in it. how many apps do you have since they are saved in same partition as the sdcard on our phones since we don't have removable storage. that's probably why your running out of room.
Thanks I don't have many under 100 I use to have crazy amount haha huh well I guess I never noticed it said sdcard0 cool thanks for responding

Previously I had Samsung's official firmware, I rooted a phone and flashed CM10.2. I wanted to delete everything I had on internal storage, but it showed me like it is already empty, despite I had only 2 gb left on internal storage. I went to "Device: mnt/shell/emulated folder and I found there all files I previously had on internal storage, including photos, music, app data etc. Can I delete those files in that folder (except sub folder 0, which is mirror for current internal storage)?
Thanx
No you cannot delete your internal /sdcard
Read stickies in general. The one about 4.2 and /sdcard
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
Thanx for answer.
I deleted android/data, DCIM and all music under mnt/shell/emulated folder. Now I have 6 gb free on internal storage and I didnt erased any system files. For example, there were files for Real racing 3 (in mnt/shell/emulated/android/data folder), which I had installed on 4.1.2. It took a lot of space.
So far everything works OK, I hope it will stay in that way

Now I did - it is hard to search on a phone, but I found it. You explained very nice everything there, thanx. Luckily, I kept folders 0, obb and legacy untouched, so I guess I didn't do any damage? I also didnt restore from a Titanium backup when I installed CM10.2, but I installed everything from a scratch. Because of that, can I erase all folders except 0, obb, legacy and clockwork mod?
Thanx
