Good evening.
Since about 1 hour ago, I absolutely can not copy one single file of any size on the internal sdcard of my device. Each time I try, I have a error message saying that there is not enough free space. Which is totally wrong because this folder has more than 17 GB available. What can I do to solve that problem ?
Best regards.
Try it with stock file manager (my files), i also got this problem using es file manager in NB3.
I tried and it worked. Thanks for the tip.

Hi @ all,
since a few days most of my memory card directories disapperaed. There are only the My Documents folder (which is empty, too) and a TEMP folder I created left on the card.
Although I searched for some threads like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294324 all attempts failed.
The space on the card is still occupied and when re-installing programms a new Program directory is created with the same name as the dissapeared one. I have one program when the installer claimed to remove the previous version first before re-installation. So it seems to find something (but I assume in Windows directory or registry).
How will I get the dissappeared folders back? Is there any other chance than formating the SD card and re-installing all programs?
I'm using bepe's cooked German WM6 V0.96 (the last one) and a 2 GB miniSD-Card. It worked quite well since a year now...
Thanks for help,
TC

... y lo cagaste, me temo.
trinity, for some reason, spoils the FAT and reestablishes it with new data. the FAT is like a directory of "where to find what on disk".
as yout fat doesn't work properly, especially it doesn't show off the used sectors or clusters, all new storage will overwrite and destroy this way part of your old data.
so if this happens, remove inmediately the sd-card, put it into your PC card reader and pass it trough file appropiate rescue programs and you'll mostly find almoust all files.
so take a breath, download file rescue pgm's to your PC (some work better, others have many options, others ...) and have a try.
after the rescue, format the SD in your PC.
mine is just passing the rescue :-( and it's rescueing about 1600 files yet

When I plug my tablet into my PC to copy files over, I see two of every folder. One will show files in it when I click on it, but I can not copy a file over to it. The progress bar never advances and I eventually cancel the operation. Windows scans the other folder when I open it, but the scan never completes (it gets to like 98% and stops) and I have to actually unplug the tablet from the PC to get out of the screen.
I can copy from the internal memory to the SD card and the other way just fine using my tablet file manager.
This started a couple of weeks ago, up until then everything was fine and I had no problems. Anyone else ever have this kind of thing?
Wow, I guess I have a unique situation here. No one else has never had this happen?

I have the same problem. I can copy to one. the other errors out. I am not sure what causes it, but it doesnt matter unless I copy to the wrong one.
Which folder are you to copy to the 1st or 2nd?
The one that works

I could only copy to one of them. I think it was the first one.
When I use "MX_Player_Pro_1.7.8.apk" App on Acer A500 Tablet (Music Player App), It doubles, and later tripples, and so on my Playlist files, same problem. It's annoying... I've also had Double folders problem before.
My way of fixing was...
Going into TWRP Recovery 2.3.1 and Wiping All Internal SDCard files. then Reflashing any ROM
I also Partitioned Ext SDCARD with CWM recovery:
-Swap-size = 0 MB
-Ext2-size = 1024 MB
-Fat32-size = Remainder (the rest will be formatted in Fat32)
-then Changed Ext2 to Ext3, then Ext3 to Ext4
*** (haven't seen Double+ files in 2 months now, with heavy "MX Player Pro" app usage + hooking up to PC many times
*** I'm on "ICS Unlocked Bootloader 0.03.14-MUL" + "TWRP 2.3.1 Recovery"
Last month i have big problems with veeeeeeery big .thumbdata-xxxxxxxxxxx files which is automatically created in dcim/.thumbnails folder, after instaling 4.2.1 rom.Often this files eat whole free spce in internal memory, and then strat corruption of files, slowdowns etc. I tried many solutions online, and finally found . BTW my .thumbdata are using over 2gb internal memory because i have lot of pictures on external sd. Not any more
Simple solution is to delete .thumbnails folder, and create .thumbnails file with filemanager, or any other file explorer. Remember, u must do it on phone, on PC u cant create file that begin with "."\
After that Android cant create folder with same name like file in same folder, and your DCIM folder remains perfectly clean.
Over a month of usage, i dont have any problem with this solution, everything work normally.
Bye and hope this will help to someone.
yes yes!
yes! thank you! I have the same f****** problem. It's incredible how much space that thing takes up.
But are you sure I can jus't delete it? won't that cause more problems down the road?
re:
After a month of usage, everything works, i can't guaratee, but there is currenly no better solution.
When I copy a file, photo etc. from internal memory to sd card the result is a file with 0 bytes. Is there a fix? is it happen to someone? i tried to change file manager and sd card but the result don't change.
The sd card work. When I take a photo or for backup there isn't any problem. Any idea?
Me too
I agree cause I change sd yet still 0byte
But I take photo and save to sd it can
That's one of the Oreo update bugs.
I have the same
Before I think sd broken
I've just tried it with Total commander and file has the correct size and content. Can't see anything wrong
With Mi file explorer the copy works.
For the moment ok but I hope in a fast fix...
Works fine with X-plore file manager
No issues here. Using Solid Explorer.
*Edit* Retried and it is failing with Solid Explorer. Using Asus File Manager, no issue.
No. Try to copy a photo for example from WhatsApp directory to sd card. With X-plore and solid explorer (but also with Es file explorer, etc.) the copy is 0 bytes

yes, now it is failing with Solid Explorer. I am now using Asus File Manager and it works, copying the same photo files from internal memory to SD Card. Give this one a try.

Yes, MI file explorer too but it's a bug, I think
Using File Manager + , same problem.
I have the same problem as well. Solid explorer doesn't work but neither does anyone else... This is a huge problem for me! Flud downloaded files to the SD also show as 0B and don't play. I thought I had a corrupted card (Kingston 64GB U3) and I got a new Toshiba Exceria 128 U3 and still the same problem! Damn! I didn't have this bug with Nougat and first Oreo built... Will have to format as internal again until it's fixed.
Known bug under Oreo. Just use the internal 'Files' data manager.
Just gotta wait till the devs get active
Also doesn't work with Root Explorer.
With System-Apps (File, Fotos..) -> OK
With Open Camera (requested access to sd after change Storage to SD) -> OK
With Total Commander, QuickPic -> FAIL 0kb
With Droid over Wif -> no access to SD
Have the same problem. When I try to copy file to sd card it end up like 0 kb. Total commander fail and system app "File" fail to copy to SD card as well. Photos are saved on SD card when take pictures.
After copying files to SD-card try to reboot your device. On my mi a1, after reboot almost all files on SD-card are ok
Reboot your device after you copy your files, and it will show the file size, happens to me too. hope it helps.
I'm having the same problem. I believe that the file is there intact, however for some reason, it is reporting back as a 0B file.
I just did the April 1 2018 update and when I reboot, the problem went away, only to come back within an hour or so.
Possible fix for some people.
Install xposed module XInternalSD or Magisk Module ExSDCard Write Access Enabler 5.0-8.
I prefer the xposed module because it has a GUI to enable/disable on per app basis.
I'm having a rather unique problem with my the Micro SD card I installed.
I can format it as internal storage and it won't pop up for file managers or my computer.
This means I can't manually move files to it all.
Despite that when it's internal storage I can move apps to it and it adds new apps to it by default.
I could go to move all and move everything it can on, but it's a fairly slow SD card so I'm hoping to mainly put music, videos and any pictures on there.
I worry about it moving the apps that I want to keep in internal storage for speed over.
Does anyone know how I could fix this?
EDIT:
I didn't manage to figure out how to add files manually while it was internal storage through either internal file managers or through the computer.
But I did manage to find the SD card while it was portable.
The trick is to use the built in file explorer on the phone and copy a small file onto the SD card.
With there being something other than just Android files on the SD card it can then be discovered by the computer.
This mainly solves my problem as I plan to use it primarily for storage of music and game files, with the emulators being on the phone itself.
I had this issue a few days ago. You have 2 options to format, (1) as a internal storage and only your phone can read this and other option (2)to use on others devices. Using the second option I managed to transfer files to my microSD like it used to be.
While using the first option I was able only to transfer apps to it through the system.
I hope it helps
I'm using one, but I'm not even able to find it with File Manager?
Is that normal for Internal Storage?
I expected there to at least be a folder in the normal phone space called SD card or something?
Is there no way to manually move music there when it's internal storage?
Also I tried changing it to be portable but my computer still couldn't see it.
File manager could actually see it and open it but I couldn't copy paste anything to it.
So I turned it back to internal as I can at least move apps to it successfully at the moment.

When I tried as Internal Storage any File Manager found my SDcard too... Thats why I'm using as portable.
After that, i could see this.
Maybe you're missing something like changing the USB connection from Charging to File transfering.
Did you checked this?
Yes it can see the rest of my phone and move files, so I've made sure to change it to file transferring.
When you used internal storage file managers failed to find your SD card as well?

Here your saying that you could find it and that's why you swapped over?
I assume you forgot to say it failed to show up separately and that's why you changed to portable.

Sorry! Yes, I failed to find my SD card too, thats why i changed to portable.
Im assuming this is a normal behavior, my last Android phone was a Galaxy S2 and I stopped following Android changes for the lasts 4/5 years. But idk why you can't see it even in portable mode... That should work as worked for me.
Hope someone help you more than I did!

Thank you for trying to help.
I think I might have figured out part of the problem, the file explorer I normally use doesn't have permission to add anything to the SD card. I'm not sure how I would go about giving it permission though.
But when I use the system built in I was able to copy paste some music onto it.
With a file on the SD Card my computer was able to locate it as well, and I can now copy and paste to the SD card using my computer.
So with your help I was able to figure out how to get portable working.
It is a bit disappointing that there isn't a way to manually add files while it is an internal storage though.
So again while your solution didn't directly work, it made me think and find a solution to my problem even if it's not the one I wanted.
