Hi there,
When I try to delete a content saved on sd card through the gallery app, it appears to be deleted, but it actually remains. Every time I reboot, the deleted contents keeps coming back in gallery.
However, they can be properly deleted using file managers.
I formatted sd card and used different gallery app, but problem remains.
Note that the problem occurs only with files saved on sd card.
I am using A3 with 5.0.2 rooted and deodexed.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

yesterday i had a severe problem with the standard media applications (video/musicplayer and gallery).
none of them would show me any of my media files when started.
the video player said "no sd card inserted", the musicplayer crashed with "music database to large" right after i started it and the gallery showed no pictures at all.
i was able to start a video by directly clicking on it within the filemanager.
i removed the external sd card, but this behaviour did not change after that.
than i copied all content from the internal sd card to the external sd card, formatted the internal sd card within the phone and than moved all the files back from the external to the internal sd card.
i did NOT overwrite any files that were created after formatting the card.
this finally helped and the media applications now work again as before.
my guess is, that the media database somehow got corrupted and therefore i would like to know the file names where the database is stored.
than, if this happens again, i can just delete the relevant files.
Its a hidden file in /mnt/sdcard/.gallerycache/ delete that and media scanner should rebuild the cache.

Recently got a new Samsung GT P6800. Rooted it and installed CWR. Till yesterday I was able to view thumbnails of jpeg files in the SD card through gallery app. I transferred some jpeg files to my SD card, but it didn't show up. Now I cannot access any of the jpeg images in the external card. I can however open with Astro or gallery by going directly to the file. Any help in solving this problem will be much appreciated...
Hello, I recently upgraded my external storage on my Galaxy S4. I copied all the files from my old SD card to the new one. But none of my apps that were transferred from the old SD card are available on the new one. I've attached some screenshots.
Copying the files straight likely broke some symlinks between the data on the card and the actual app. Reinstalling the apps should fix the problem.
So I Re-downloaded instagram and I now have 2 shortcuts? Is this normal?
EDIT: I re-downloaded Titanium and restored my apps that way.
EDIT 2: Restoring my apps seems to be really bloating up my SD card. Doesn't make sense since these apps were ~6 gigs on my old SD card.
Also, is there a proper way of transferring data from one SD card to another?
Hello,
I am using a SD Card in my S7 edge and I want to save new photos automatically to SD Card as my internal memory is limited.
But I also want my existing photos to be in the new "camera" Folder on the SD Card. So I moved them to there, but the sort order is now screwed up.
It seem like the Gallery App is sorting the photos by the date and time I moved the files, not by EXIF dates.
I tried to correct the dates of the files with QuickPic App but it does not work (maybe because of the SD Card?).
Also I can't change the sort order within the standard Samsung Gallery App, which is really disappointing.
Does anyone know how to move image files from internal space to SD Card with keeping the EXIF date as filedate?
Or even better: How can I successfully fix the date of image files on the SC Card?
Thank you!!!
Felix
To move files without changing their filedate use a file manager on the phone like ES File Explorer.
Within the last week I moved to my 7 Edge from my Note7. I have all of my apps installed and I did not move any to the SD card when I installed them. As I set my phone up, Android created 3 folders on my SD card: they are "Android" "Knox" and "Lost". The Android folder has a lot of stuff under a sub folder named "Data." I just received my new 256GB data card in the mail and I might change over to it. Will this create issues with my apps since they created all of this data on my SD card? "Lost" and "Knox" appear empty so that doesn't seem to pose a problem. Just worried about that "Android" folder.
Hi,
Most apps doesn't create data on sdcard unless you tell them to do it, for example Spotify music is usually stored on internal storage, but you can change the storage location to the sdcard. So, if you didn't tell any app to create its data on sdcard you won't have any problem.
You can use an app like FX File Explorer to check how much space that folder is using, not only that, but if you really are worried about some app breaking because of the data in sdcard, just copy the current sdcard content to the new one, shouldn't take much from your 256GB card
All the best,

I've swapped SD cards multiple times just by copying everything from the old on onto the new one, using a PC. Never had any problems at all.
