Jul 2, 2010i've downloaded some pdf files to my storage card. can't seem to find a way to delete them.

View 3 RepliesI wrote an app that downloads web sites and all their assets (images/stylesheets) to "disk" and therefore stores lots of small files on the SD card.
Sometimes it fails to delete large amounts of files and afterward the file system is r/o. To analyze that behavior I tried to do the removal of the files by hand and then go from there. But that already failed.

The log contained nothing but the usual gc output and random WiFi status changed mumbo jumbo.
Anybody else seeing this behavior?
There were 6.500 files in that directory. Might that be the problem? I don't access the files with queries, I always have the exact name.
How do you go about checking what is stored on your phones memory and deleting content? For example I used dropbox and downloaded a 7mb photo onto my phone. Can't find it in the photos app or anywhere else. Going into SD & phone storage under settings doesn't do anything. It says I have 70mb available space under phone storage but you can't click on that to get any further info. Same goes for the SD card options.

I have been serializing the games and saving them like this:
ObjectOutputStream os = new ObjectOutputStream(openFileOutput(gameName + ".sav", 0)); os.writeObject(gameObject);
I know I can go through the list of games and do something like this
for(GameName name : gameList) { deleteFile(name + ".sav");

View 2 Replies View RelatedI read my manual regarding deleting files from the sd card. I am not sure if i understand it though. Can i safely delete files through my pc's file manager (while tethered) rather than through the phone it self, files such as pictures and music? And what about the folders left behind from downloaded apps? Can i simply delete those while tethered?
View 6 Replies View RelatedCurrently I am having an issue with my SD card storage.
It started when iMusic told me i was out of space, on a 4gig SD card when i had mayb 5 songs on the phone!
So i went to my astro manager file manager to delete some files just to see. i keep getting "error deleting files" on anything i try to delte, ive taken the card out rebooted etc etc.
It makes me think the card may be locked? as its not even letting me save anything to it now.
Should i just root the dang thing to avoid problems like this?
I can delete files by going into the generic "music" app and long touching the song and selecting delete.
Anyone notice this or figure out why? I am trying to delete PDF files off the SD card and Astro just says "error deleting file."

View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm developing for the Android platform.
My app creates a temp file with a simple call to:
FileOutputStream fos = openFileOutput("MY_TEMP.TXT",Mode);
It works fine because I can write to it and read it normally.
The problem is that when I exit from the app I want to delete this file. I used:
File f = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir"),"MY_TEMP.TXT");
f.delete()
But it always returns false and the file is not deleted.
I have tried
File f = new File("MY_TEMP.TXT");
f.delete();
And it does not work either.
I wanted to show a picture to a friend of mine. Opened my gallery > ehm, what is going on here? > there were no photos images anymore.
First I thought that the gallery app got some problemes, rebooted my phone, still the same. Looked up the folders with Solid Explorer, well ... all files got definitely deleted.
I searched for this here on xda and google. Well, all I found out was that it could be ROM related, or that it could have something to do with RomManager (haven't installed it though). The curious thing is that the *.jpg and *.mp4 files got deleted from all folders and subfolders, not only from DCIM and even from the sd card.I'm not here for any recovery attempts, have done this already
Well this is not all. I've got some *.avi files on my phone (internal and external storage). Theses files were deleted too. BUT not at the same day as the other media files (*.jpg and *.mp4).
So this is the pre story. Now I wanted to know what can I do to discover what is causing this problem, because what's next? Is my phone deleting all my files in a few days?For me it seems like a script that is searching the whole device for media files and deleting them. (malicious?)My thoughts were:to smali all applications and try to find out if a app is causing this to analyze logcats.Well, These options seems to be very long-lasting,
I haven't isntalled any apps or updates the last two weeks so I think there are no problems with apps and therefore will not list them. phone is deleting media files two days ago it deleted *jpg and *.mp4 files from internal and external storage and from all folders (not only DCIM) today it deleted *.avi files from internal and external storage could it be a malicious script that is crawling my phone for those files?
Some time ago...I estimate a week at most, I received an error when simply saving a file from my Browser, stating there was not enough space to do so. Knowing my phone had mre than adequate space, I presumed it was just an error with my browser.
Trying again with a different internet browser, I was met again with the same dilema. To make matters worse, I cannot permanently delete picture files from the default viewer on my phone. Queerily, I can delete them, only to have the pictures return hours later. To make my situation more unusual; Upon viewing the SD card mounted on my laptop, I can move, add & delete any form of files with ease. Even saving/deleting other files using different apps (Videobox, for example) gives me no hassle whatsoever.
One solution I'm willing, but at the same time reluctant to try is to reset my phone entirely to it's factory default setting (prior to backing up all of my SD card's data, of course)
I deleted system files etc... while attempting to revert back to stock ROM. I cannot boot into TWRP nor communicate over USB.

I have tried to delete the threads in handcent, force delete in handcent, and delete in the stock messages app.. and every single time the phone winds up hanging and eventually the program will FC.
I know there are a few threads similar to this but I didnt see one that really answer my question. Basically when you press on PHONE and the dialer with the keypad and the contacts/call history shows up. Basically, that screen have my FACEBOOK contacts and my PEOPLE contacts. And because of that I have like 1200 contacts...some I dont even talk to like that and some dont even have phone numbers but its there. I dont know how to get rid some of it. Basically, I want to know how to get rid of some of the FACEBOOK contacts. Or if I cant do that, is there any way to have the PEOPLE contacts show only when you press on the PHONE button? I have tried LONG PRESS....EDITING the facebook contacts.

This question is regarding the Droid Incredible.I want to be able to delete individual calls or texts instead of just clearing all of them. But, I do not see an option for that.Am I just missing it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm new to Android having just come from Blackberry [loving the change, btw]. However the only thing I am missing. Is there any way within SMS Text Messages you can delete previous parts of the conversation? I see that it saves all my conversation with a person so I have todays conversation and yesterdays too. However, I want to delete all of yesterdays text messages but still keep the conversation thread I'm having currently. Does this make sense? It was something I liked with my old phone- the "delete previous" option. Is there something like this on the HTC Incredible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedBefore I rooted I would go through my sd card and delete files that were no longer needed such as application files from applications that I would download and later delete. Now that I'm rooted I am a little hesitant to do that because I'm not sure if there are files on there that are necessary for root.
For example: the SU file on the SD Card. Is that the program itself or is it just the install file. If I were to delete it would I lose the superuser or would it not effect it? I just got a 16 gig sd card so I am wondering what files I need to transfer over if there are any.
Some of my threads have over 600 texts in them, and are taking forever to load up. Is there a way/app to archive these and then delete them as they go?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I have a 3 year old Droid Incredible. The older it gets, the worse it responds to basic tasks. Today, I turned on my phone, only to get several error messages from Google related apps saying they have failed to start.
So I tried clicking on some Google apps, like Google Maps. The icon was replaced by this:
In fact, all of the Google related apps were like this. I tried selecting Google maps, only to get an instant force stop message. Soon afterwards, all of the Google apps disappeared, including YouTube. Google Play and Google Search widget have both been replaced by Failure to Load Gadget messages. I tried looking for any signs of anything Google related, with no luck. I restarted my phone, I cleared caches, and I unmounted and remounted my SD card for some reason. No dice.
I have a stock HTC Incredible. I have done nothing like unrooting to it. What could be the cause of the apps disappearing?
Is there any way I can delete exchange emails from my Incredible without deleting them from the server? Still would like to be able to access messages from my laptop at a later time like I could with the pos Storm.
