I want to clear the application data in Media Storage. Any ideas what this will delete? I noticed it has permissions to access system tools and clear itself when storage is low so it must not be too important.
Also what is deleted if you clear data in the DRM Protected Content Storage?
Lastly I deleted a ringtone from a site called myxer.com to see where they they were stored and where to delete them since many people over at T-Mobile forums were unable to delete them and they are right; that ringtone is no where to be found! I know it's somewhere in the phone's internal storage but doesn anyone know where? I checked the system folder, system>media>audio>ringtones. It is not there and it is definitely not on the SD card. I was thinking deleting the application data I mentioned above might kill it.
**Bump**
Anyone?
You could chance it and find out but I wouldn't cuz it'll most likely delete important things
I thought about just deleting it but did some more research on other Android sites and Media Storage = pre-installed ringtones, none that you downloaded. So if you clear it, you will delete all the pre-installed ringtones. Still haven't found out what the Protected Content deletes.
Resureccting the thread
I clicked clear data for Media Storage on a Milestone 2.1 update 1, in a hope to reset media player
My ringtones are gone, and everything that it contains(what are this things?) how can i download what Media Storage is suppose to have without a factory reset?
Thanks
SOLVED
DO a Restart turn the phone off then on

I removed some applications to regain some storage space but it is depleting constantly. I cannot figure it out why. I use SD card to keep Opera cache. How can I prevent the storage space from depleting? Thanks.
I had same problem. I realised that when iuse you tube hundreds of files download temporary in system/windows/you tube. So delete that folder completely. But you will loose your history. And see in the folder system/application data/htc/ htc album/cache. And delte all files except maptable and thumbcaches. These files are not needed. and it also weighs a lot.
Thanks a lot Urvansh. I deleted all the files in htc album/cache except maptable and thumbcaches as you suggested. The files I deleted had taken about 18MB.

low on internal storage memory?, read this:
It seems that opera9 keeps all cab files you downloaded in the folder:
windows/opera9/profile/download/
I bet you opera10 does the same.
I had about 79MB of application cab files there, using up internal storage memory, which I did not need, and had no idea were there.
I found them using 'treesize mobile', available on the marketplace for free.
Also, I checked the program files folder and found that applications which I had previously uninstalled still had folders in there with files in them.
Go check out Clear Temp which is a great little app that helps you keep most of those pesky temp folders cleaned out and not using memory resources.
Hi, ppl. I accidentally wiped my sd card, and now i want to get the factory data back. But unfortunately, those data are not part of the phone's rom.
Can someone list me the multimedia content that comes with the phone?
I know I don't have the multi-alarm alarm sound anymore, and by what I can recall, there was a folder named "media" where those files were.
Can someone check that for me please? Thanks.
The folder name was "alarms" ...media folder I think was empty.
Anyway, phone can work with no card so everything in the card is useless if you dont use it. My alarm never wake me up for a reson so I cant understund the reason to retrive this folder. (did you tried to find your data from sd deleted files?)
try Recuva from piriform.com..its has ability to recover files from card i've not tested it..but it worth a try..goodluck and be careful next time
mhm
i using link2sd
That weird problem happend to my SM-N9005 running stock rom 4.4.2. Out of sudden all the media on my internal sdcard is not detected i.e songs not detected by jetAudio, videos not detected by MXplayer, and images on QuickPic not detected also. But I can see all my media files still exist and working fine when I access them through any root explorer!!
I tried to fix this issue by fixing permissions of the entire sdcard and tried redo mounting sdcard r/w but nothing helped me. I've no clue how to fix this now.
Did you change something or installed or removed????
Extra details
Am not sure because I don't really know when was the very moment when this happened. But all the apps that installed now are my regular apps and nothing strange.
Extra details: when showing the hidden files I found several .nomedia files were created in certain folders that contain those media, something created it by someway am not sure. Could it be a virus?
Yet I've deleted all the nomedia files as they already cause the exclusion but unfortunately this also didn't work.
Did you reboot ?

Yes, as this was the first thing I did after the panic of noticing the problem.
I there anyway I could manage to format Sdcard contents without touching the system files?
Guys?
try to download and run sd scanner or rescan application or something similar from playstore
Guys as usual I was talking backup via PC.
I found two folders into my Internal memory named SDCARD0 & SDCARD0.
I thought it must be a duplicate and deleted one of them.
Immediately I found I lost all my data from Internal memory.
Folders like whatsapp, dcim, movies and all other whcih were created by other apps got lost.
So has i actually accidentally deleted them due to sdcard0 folder or they are present but HIDDEN somewhere?
Coz still my internal memory says 3.60gb free which was same size before doing this unusual accident.
My phone hasnt got any root access.
Please how can I get back my files in this case?
My all apps r functioning properly except they lost all their custom settings...
What can be done to get my data back from Internal memory?
What you can do is, NEVER DELETE SUCH FOLDERS AGAIN.
To be aware of this in future, have a backup via foldersync or similar...
The chance that ull get ur data back going against zero...sorry
-EDIT: REQUIRES ROOT-
Oh you can do it. Did it myself a few weeks ago..
Check out this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...de-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705
is there no way of running recovery software when plugged into a PC? I know I saved a lot of data from a camera while back by scanning its memory in recova or something similar while hooked up via usb
You should do some research first if you don't know something
Hi guys,
First of all, great forum and great place to learn a lot of stuff about ROM's.
I have been using the forums here for a while.
Now I have a problem with my Galaxy S 4.
Galaxy s4 :gt- i9505 (Beglium)
16Gb version
Custom Rom: optimized cm 12.1 -20160118
android 5.1.1
I had some problems playing my music files on the phone, so i connected the phone to my PC.
I deleted my MUSIC folder from my EXTERNAL card.
Then I saw There are a lot more random folders in the ROOT of my EXTERNAL card.
So I deleted the LOG files, some maps that where for AD's (like GO sms), etc.
As far as I know, I did not delete any system files or folders.
While I was in the external card, connected to the PC, I saw that my INTERNAL card had wheeeeyyy much more free space than 5 minutes before. ( normally 0.9Gb free... suddenly 5.72GB free)
So i disconnected the phone and reconnected it again.
Again same thing.
Again disconnected it and on the phone I could not find ANY FILES, NO pictures, No downloads, NOTHING
Basically, my INTERNAL and my EXTERNAL are fully wiped.
with easeUS data recovery I can see all my files and maps on the external, BUT almost all of them are corrupted.
I can not recover them/ preview them.
I have not tried the internal memory yet. It is now doing a DEEP SCAN on the EXTERNAL card, connected to my PC via a SD Card Adapter.
Any possibilities to save something from the external and the internal memory ?
Everything else works normally.
My apps work, my contacts are ok.
PC is set to show hidden and system files => nothing to see
Recycle been on the phone is empty
used some recovery apps from the play store => nothing
Many thanks in advance.
PS: I have already done a search, also on google. But could not find anything useful.
Try Deleter.
I run easeUS recovery all night on the external memory.
Got back 5% of my pictures.
Most ara corrupted.
Same story for the internal memory.
Other suggestions, tips are welcome.
If the data was deleted corrupted then it might be restored corrupted.
I suggest, from now on, to upload your photos Google's servers with the Google Photos app.
You have unlimited storage for photos up to a certain quality.
Yep, i have installed google drive.
Sh#t has happened
Will try to use some other applications for recovery.
Had some pictures i needed.
Any names of really good software to recover sd card of internal memory ?
I told you, if the data was wiped in a corrupted state, then it will be restored in a corrupted stated. Because that's how it was the last time before it was deleted. It's like a checkpoint in a game. If you die, you will revive at the checkpoint in the same state you were when you reached that checkpoint.
You could give Deleter a try. But it won't magically repair corrupted data.
Try a program called recuva: https://www.piriform.com/recuva

I won't recommend it. It failed to recover two videos from my SD card that I needed to recover for investigation purposes, even when status of these files were Excellent. After restored, these files were corrupted. The same thing went on my .OGG file that was deleted accidentally by dBpoweramp before Vorbis Comments ID Tag was applied.
Even my friend said that Recuva was unable to recover her deleted photos as it should be. Yeah, the same thing, corrupted.
Sent from my ASUS_Z00A using XDA Labs
I have used recuva many times but, as with any software, it really depends on the state of the data at the time the software is run.
When one is desparate to recover files, I recommend trying as many programs as possible.
Hey guys.
Today i will try many different software.
I am trying to find a way to mount my internal storage as a drive with a driveLetter, so i can scan it.
Now its mte/umte or something like that.
So it has no driveletter.
Hey guys.
I managed to retrieve some pictures from the sd card.
Software i used.

EAsuse
Foenix recovery
For the internal memory.
Digdeeper
And some other ones on play store.
Just search for " photo recovey".
Maybe someone can use the names, if they get in the same situation as me.
Thx for the tips guys!
