hidden files vanish

so i safestrapped and flashed jellybeans on one of the safestrap slots and everything was great.
i hadnt done anything major to my phone but i had a bunch of hidden files (mostly photos) in two files. one was stuff hidden directly from the gallery (select>move>"file name") and it worked great. no problems. another was a
backup" file with media i just moved into there with es file explorer.
two days ago, all of the sudden, gone. cant see it in the dialog when i try to move media in my gallery. i found the file in es file explorer and its empty. same with my backup file. what the hell?
i havent done anything major to my phone.what would cause this? how do i get them back?!

srs, need help

all the sudden, there is this folder called Undelete that showed up randomly. all the files are broken and the is 725+ of them. I'm guessing these are my photos I lost.
is there a way to use an external pc App to restore the files from my phone? I plugged it n and can't get anything to scan the internal memory.
helpppp

Oh yeah, a screenshot...

I renamed the folder to recovery and tried to move it to the SD card, no luck.

[Q] - I9502 can't download nor save file to memory

Hi,
I'm having a problem with my Galaxy S4 Duos I9502, somehow I can't save any file/picture from internet to Download folder, only original app like Browser is able to save file !!!
Ex : Whenever I try to save an image in Firefox/Chrome, it shows an error as below :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What I have tried so far :
- Root the phone and use Root Explorer to check the permission of "Download" Folder, it is --rw--rw--r-, tried to change the "other" to RW but failed.
- Wipe cache/davik code - not solve
- Factory reset/ Wipe data - not solve
- Clean everything and re-flash the stock rom still not succeed ((
Really appreciated If you have any idea on how to solve this problem.

I managed to solve the issue by using Terminal Emulator and put in below commands :
su ->enter
restorecon -R -v /data/media/0

Ok, Figured it. System partition is out of memory.
How do I clear it up?
I cant see anything I should delete...

Delete apps that you're not using like Kies, Themes that you don't use (in case you have themes feature enabled, etc.
some are in priv-app folder, others in "apps" folder.

Did them all, Didnt work.
Flashed stock rom with a PIT, and then flashed the custom Rom. Did all my tweaks and mods same as before,.. and now I have 1.7GB left as free space.

System Data on External SD taking up over 20GB

My memory card today told me I was running low which I found odd.
Upon checking I noticed System Data was taking over 20GB of room.
Before using this memory card on this phone I formatted it as set it up for external use
I have been searching on google for a while and cant find any reason for this or how to fix it
Any ideas?
thanks

Found a fix
From your phone dialler, dial *#9900#
Tap on Delete dumpstate/logcat and it will show you dump result. Click okay and exit and reboot

Dial *#9900#
is working for some mobiles only.
Not for all. Others are still finding it difficult to get rid of insufficient memory message popping up when updating apps.
This problem is big and most users are suffering.
No other way than to format a mobile / factory reset.

*#9900# doesn't work on AOSP roms -.-
Edit:
Unplugging the MicroSD card, putting it into a Windows PC, and putting it back to Android changed the files. They showed up as Found.00 and i could delete them.

Problems with storage

So I´ve had this problem since I installed Lineage 2 years ago. After some months I always end up with the storage full and removing things does not free nearly any space.
The first thing I notice was a couple .thumbnail files of around 2GB that when removed would not free up space. I solved that but there´s still a problem somewhere.
I tried with adb and I found out that the /sbin folder is 22GB and sdcard is just 9.3GB but the biggest file in sbin is only 144k. The comands I used to get the size where du -ks -a /* in the root folder, then du -ks -a ./* in sbin and agan in sbin ls -all but i can´t find the 22G file/folder, any sugestions on how to solve this? I tried removing sbin but it didn´t work. I leave a couple images here. The tablet is a Samsung Galaxy Tab a6 Wifi, model t580 with lineage 16.0.
Root (sdcard reports 0 cause its a link to a folder in /storage so the true size is similar to storage):
