Why don't I have a "recycled" folder

Usually it is Windows on your PC that puts it onto any removable storage unless you have explicitly told it not to i.e in Recycle Bin Properties. Once the folder is on your storage card you won't see it unless you are viewing with options for 'Hide Hidden Folders' and 'Operating system' files are selected to view both.
Another reason could be if you are using Resco File Explorer, as that app has it's own Recycle Bin which deleted files are moved to unless you have selected for it not to.
Hope that helps

I think its related to Resco File explorer

[Q] Stupid question on SD Cards

Just got my Iconnia last week and it's stunning.
However if I drag .apk's onto my 32Gb SD Card I can't seem to find them using Linda File manager.
Is there a particular programme I need to use to access it?
When I look into Storage it only seems to show my internal memory, howevermy Gallery DOES find my camera pics on the card so what am I doing wrong?

Dragging using what ?? on desktop PC ?? ( best is to copy & paste )
for when on the iconia... I downloaded "Astro file manager" ... there are many others...etc
your Ext_SDCard and USB storage is under the sub directory of /mnt
You should post in the "General" section...as this is the "DEV" section...

File Manager for Honeycomb.

I ran into this problem when I first got mine too.
The external sd card is actually showing in mnt/external_sd in your root folder
Basically this means that when you use astro file manager or root explorer and you open that instead of clicking on sdcard you click the folder listed as "mnt" then external sd

Thanks Guys.
Mods - Can you please move this to general Doh!

[Q] cannot move files (not app) from internal SD to external SD

After using google and forum search a while I am stuck with this problem.
on my i9000 I want to move files like jpg files from certain appfolders to my external sd card.
I tried to use different File explorers and tried to move for example a picture from the program folder of the app "multicam" on the internal SD card to a new cerated Folder on the external SD Card.
whenever I try to cut & paste it onto ext SD card, it sant be moved or just does not paste it... depending on which file explorer I use. I have SU rights for my file explorers and can't find a way to move the files.
Some files on the internal SD can be COPIED and PASTED onto the external and after that I have to delete the original Files from the internal SD. But why is CUT & Paste not possible?
is there something like protection oder chmod things, that has to be payed attention to ?
thanks for any hints what I do have to look for on the search function of xda-dev or google...

I have the exact same problem. Copy and paste works but Cut and paste does not.
I have both I9000 and Asus Transformer and in both of them this does not work. It's very frustrating when you have to frequently move files.

It happens to me too. I can't move, just copy and paste. For me is not such a bad thing, it keeps adding a "false" sense of security of having backups.

It works using root explorer.

Thx for the tip... I tried root explorer now and this works quite well. Now you can copy/cut + paste from any folder to each folder you like to. There are 2 settings available: r/o and r/w... read only and read write.

Android/OBB

So I tried downloading some games and most of them required me to put sd data to android/obb folder. But the problem is that every time I tried to move/copy the file into obb folder, it shows me a error and will not let me copy/move files into obb folder. Is there any solution to this? I have googled everywhere but with no luck.
I am using the SGS4 I9500.
Thanks!

Android - OBB solution
I too had the same problem when tranfering from my PC to the phone.
The only solution I found until now is to copy to the external SD card, then from your phone use a file manager to copy from the SD to the Obb folder.

Thank you so much, the method works perfectly

[Q] Writing to OBB folder?

Can anyone else not write to the Android/obb folder on their S4? Every other folder seems to work fine. I'm using Windows explorer to try to copy stuff into there but it bombs out at 99%

put the files somewhere else on your phone and move it into that folder via a root explorer on your phone.

You can use airdroid it worked for me
