Just delete the TWRP folder from internal storage (use My Files)
The ES Explorer app has a great feature called "SD Card Analyst" that will scan both the internal and external SD cards and tell you what it taking up all your storage space.
From that you can go right to the large files and delete them easily.
choose restore, the backup you want to delete and hit delete

Hi, recently I try to change my Recovery and for some strange reason I lost "aparently" all my sdcard content because I can't mount from recovery and either from the phone using AndroZip, my question is: if I format the sdcard and lost .android_secure directory I'm able to access my phone without problems?
Cheers and thx in advance
yes you are fine. The .android_secure folder has to do with paid applications and it will be regenerated automatically.
If you move apps to sd, they go in there. You should move any apps that are on sd to internal memory before you delete it
I felt like I needed a signature.... here it is

When I connect to PC in MTP mode i can see first "Internal Storage" then when i click, I can see my folders and files in somewhat my "SD card". But there are specifc files that doesnt show up like for the App Backup Restore, wherein all the backedup apps are stored, I could not see it when I open this folder. But when I use ES explorer in my phone, the backed up app files exist. Why is this so?
One more thing, I am still quite confused on the folder and file configuration of our nexy. It seems the folders "storage\emulated\0\", the "storage\sdcard0\" and the "\sdcard\" are all the same in content (i think). Can you explain how it works? Is it just like mirrors of the same sd card folder? if so, then which is the real one? Im confused.
One last thing, when you say "Internal Storage" or files in the "Internal Storage", does it refer to the phone system memory (is this also the "\storage\" ?) or the internal sd card?
Sorry for being a newbie..
One of the reasons why Im asking about the missing files is because I was hoping to transfer these APP backups to my PC because when I make factory reset or wiping in preparation for installing PA ROM, it might also delete the files in my SD card folder (or will it not)?
So I hope you could explain how I could see these files. All drivers were installed and PC communication is working well. Im just lost now how come I could not see this files wherein in the ES file explorer the files exists in that folder.
When you wipe to flash PA rom just factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache and system in advance wipe in twrp's wipe menu. That's all you need to do to make that switch to pa ROM. If you do not wipe data then you're fine. Everything in your internal storage will still be intact.

If you are talking about the files that you see when you enable show hidden files on ES file explorer, then you would need to do the same on the PC. Also, if these files are an extension that the PC does not recognize, maybe it is possible that it will not display them thru MTP.

Hi everybody, I was about to install a new rom, and I made a nandroid backup, when the progress bar had almost reached the end, it gave me an error, so I decided to leave flash for another moment, but when I turned on the phone, the internal memory appeared full, 0 bytes free. I guess it is occuped by the backup that cwm has been able to do until the error occurred (which surely have been because of the space). So, could you tell me please, where does the backup get saved, to be able to delete it?? seriously urgent as I have not even one byte free ....
PS: I've read that should be in a folder called ClockworkMod and inside, in a folder named backup, but I havent got that folder. Also I've noticed that the /data folder of the root directory occupies 10Gb, so I guess this could be the folder, as in internal memory I have only 3Gb, the problem is that I do not know which folders and files can be deleted from there, and what must be in that folder.
Thanks in advance!
Delete them from recovery

Thanks!! That was the solution. I entered recovery and in backup/restore y chose delete, then I pressed in the only option I had and that's all. Now I have 5Gb free!! Thank you very much!
As the title says neither TB nor TWRP will recognize my SD card, the backup on it respectively. I made a Nandroid-backup with TWRP 3.0.2 on my Z3C, put the SD card into my XC and tried to restore from said Nandroid-backup but TB doesn't even recognize the SD card. Says there is no TWRP folder/backup on it. But there definitely is. I can see it in the browser. I also copied it to my internal storage and from there I could access it without problems.
Weirdly enough TWRP also doesn't recognize the backup folder. When I select to restore and select my SD card there is no backup to choose from. I'm using TWRP 3.1.1 on my XC.
Phone is rooted and running the latest fw 34.3.A.0.217 with Genesis kernel 1.05-nondrm
Is the backup faulty or could it be because of some incompatibilities with the kernel?
Backup a file so TB makes a new folder then copy your the contents of your backup into it and try again and you need to select your SD card in TWRP.
I backed everything up with TWRP to my SD card. The folder is there, as are the files.
TB just doesn't recognize my SD card at all. It only recognizes my internal storage, but not my SD card.
When I copy the TWRP backup from the SD card to the TWRP folder on my internal storage I can restore from Nandroid backup.
But I think that the backup is faulty too, because after restoring contacts and messages to test it the apps crash. When I open the telephone app it crashes and says "android.process.acore" has been closed. It says the same when I open the messaging and contacts app but the messaging app doesn't crash.

I was talking about TB and what I've done in the past after restoring my Phone to get TB to recognize my files. Browse through a few pages of the TWRP threads, I'm sure I've seen similar issues reported about the SD.

A common solution to this problem is to 'Clear Cache' of affected apps in their App Info / Storage dialog.

Yes, I have restored data+cache. Maybe that's what caused the errors. Weird thing is, no messages were restored except the drafts I didn't send but saved.

I've read somewhere that since 4.4.4 TB cannot read/write a partition it wasn't installed on. Did you mean that? To create a TB folder on the SD card so TB will have access to the SD card?
Edit: ok, so I tried this method
Code:
create a folder on the external sdcard,using the following folder-structure:
/storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/
If you already have existing backups, move them with a file-explorer from their current place to:
/storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/
Lastly, go to the preferences of TitaniumBackup, choose “Backup folder location” and choose the above specified folder.
Finish.
And it does kinda work. I do now have access to my SD card via TB. But it still says there is no TWRP folder on it. I even copied the TB backup to the TWRP folder and the TWRP folder to the TB folder. No luck.
Also TWRP doesn't recognize the TWRP backup I created on the SD card even though it recognizes the card itself.
If you copied files to computer:
It adds .zip extension to tar.gz files
And .txt extension to properties files
That's why program cannot recognize them.
U should delete that extra additions from file names
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
