Hello
not sure if there is any solution to this -
i was manually backing up all files from the android filesystem
Directories like
DCIM
WHATSAPP
HSM - IPhone pictures backup
DOWNLOADS-
i successfully manged to backup DCIM / WHATSAPP AND DOWNLOADS .and then for some reason the backup stopped and when i went back to the internal storage the directories DOWNLOADS AND HSM vanished - lost or whatever .
i tried looking through gallery through my files and also via windows - its actually deleted since the files were almost 7 gig in size - its showing i have that much more space in internal storage NOTE 3 sm-n900-
is there anyways i can get these files/directories back ?
thank you any help would be appreciated

I created a backup zip file of some images that were in the main sdcard folder that's found within the mnt folder and I was trying to delete said zip file as I thought I'd made a mistake with the zip file and somehow I ended up deleted most of the folders within the sdcard folder!
I checked out the Storage section within settings and it has the following information:
Total space]
13.11GB
Apps
3.28GB
Pictures, videos
245MB
Misc.
8.33GB
Available
1.31GB
Even though the information in the Internal Storage section is correct, when I check my folders using a file explorer software on my device which is rooted and running AOKP, it shows that the folders and files that I deleted are still missing.
Is there anyway to access the internal memory via an ADB-type software that will allow me to recover the files and folders that were deleted by accident as well as let me back up the internal memory to a PC once the recovery is done? (That is, when I can access the damn device as it's being a pain in the ass trying to detect it on my laptop!)
I use Recuva from Piriform located HERE ! It found and restored 234 MP3's that I guess I was pocket deleting on my DHD.
Thanks for the link. I'll check it out as soon as I can get my device recognised on my laptop and netbook!
When using the Android File Transfer app on my Mac, I saw this folder named "storage" which doesn't have much in it and so I decided to delete it, which wasn't a good choice as I found out everything in the internal storage was wiped.
Is there any chance of getting the lost files back?
Now whenever I connect my phone to Mac Android file transfer app doesn't show up the internal storage folder anymore.
Panicking.
Help!!! Anyone?

It's gone now. You'll need to restore the factory image to get the internal data in order and then re-root/setup the phone
Hi
there is the problem, making a nandroid back up it fails, I supose because insufficient space, and it is
checking using disk usage for locate where are the nandroid files and there are in system data
I m trying to find in system where are the files using root explorer and astro, and I cant find it
anyone knows where are the files? any onther way to delete it??
thank you
i looked properties in the system folder one by one and there is not the nandroid backup files
system folder takes 2,25 gb
in /sdcard appears 2,54 gb (the real used space and that I have before the nandroid backup)
i looked in storage settings and system memory takes 4,20gb, i think its corrects, but in multiple files there is 7,21 and this is not correct
continue exploring
solved
enter the recovery and delete backup, system data takes 400 mb and there is all free space again
but, where was the files?? if I want to take it out to my pc? how can I do?
Hi there,
I am on lineage-16.0-20190918-nightly-klte-signed + open_gapps-arm-9.0-mini-20190921, it is a fresh install.
I have downloaded WhatsApp App from Google Play and I was prompted to recover my backup from Google Drive, when I click OK I get:
Not enough space
Couldn't restore messages. Free up 465MB of space on your phone's internal storage to restore.
Obviously, I have more than 11GB available in the internal storage and an almost empty SanDisk SD Card 32GB.
Now, I cannot find anywhere a solution for this issue.
Also, I copied both my 'Phone' and 'Card' folders on my PC (in addition to the GoogleDrive backup) before upgrading to Lineage, I see in both folders a 'WhatsApp' folder with 'backups' + 'database' + 'media' subfolders.
If I cannot restore the backup from Google Drive, how could I restore the same from my PC?
I tried to move the Whatsapp folder to my SD Card, but it does not look like it is enough to see the content in WhatsApp.
Thoughts?

I think I know why it does not restore my backup, I have realized that the 'Internal Shared Storage' is not accessible, let me explain...
In my S5, if I go to Storage >> Device Storage - I see 5.24GB used of 16.00 GB - however, if I take a screenshot and try to save it, I get:
can't save screenshot due to limited storage space
This is probably the reason why I get issues to restore my whatsapp backup.
If I connect the phone to my PC, I can see the Internal Shared Storage folder icon, but there is no value, I should see 5.24GB used of 16.00 GB - in fact I cannot save anything on it from my PC either.
How do I resolve this issue?
Bug?
Thank you,
Alex
Anybody??
Hi,
Brand new T510. I followed [GUIDE][SM-T510/T515]Unlock/TWRP/Odin HowTo/Root - Tab A 10.1 (2019) and successfully rooted the device with stock ROM and Magisk.
Then something strange happened. When I open My Files app, the internal storage showed about 10 folders with weird names, all empty. I deleted all those folders and it showed an empty folder. I then went on to install some apps.
However, I then realized that the internal storage is really not available in most of cases. My Files showed (17.56GB / 128GB) but when I tried to create a folder it will say "there is not enough space in internal storage. Delete some files and try again."
All the normal folders are not there, like Download etc.
What can I try to fix this?
Thanks

The data partition is encrypted and TWRP can't handle it. After flashing TWRP, you need to format the data partition by clicking Wipe and then Format data. When asked to verify, type "yes" and NOT just "y". After doing this, reboot to recovery and you'll see Internal Storage is no longer a "0".
Before doing any of this, be aware that formatting the data partition will erase EVERYTHING on it, including any saved pictures, movies, music and all apps. So be sure to back you data up to another device or the external SD card before you start.
Worked. Thanks
