Can't delete supersu folder on internal storage - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How Can I delete the supersu folder using twrp or adb? I had root then let the SuperSU app do a full unroot and the supersu folder is still there. I even flashed the stock rom and the suspersu folder is on the internal (root) storage.
Thanks in advance
update: twrp internal storage wipe didn't help

Was it systemless root? I only ask because system root places folder in /system/app or in /data/app if installed as a regular app. I never tried systemless root so not sure where that goes but would assume the same place. Wiping internal with twrp should have erased it if it's in /sdcard. Since you can see the folder can you open it?

SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031 is the version I sued, but I sued with Android 7.1.1 preview...Phone wouldn't boot so i flashed the latest 7.0 z stock. Now I can get rid of this /supersu folder.

Yeup, I can delete but it comes right back after reboot so i think the permissions are messed up.

Hi...i know this is old thread unsolved.
If after a year changed there are way to remove /supersu folder please share..thanks
Edit:after few time changing twrp version to test which version could remove "supersu" folder.file inside that folder change.i think not supersu keep creating it but twrp itself.it's just my conclusion

Clockworkmod Recovery folder reappearing even though I don't use it

I have TWRP installed but when looking through what's taking space on my phone via DiskUsage, it says there is a clockworkmod backup folder that's taking up 2.4GB of space. No matter how many times I delete it, it reappears again for no reason.
This is what I mean:
{
"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"
}
When I delete it, the "Freespace" section boosts up to 3+GB. Is there any way to get rid of this? I think I did something wrong when installing recoveries (I had clockworkmod installed at first but promptly replaced it with TWRP)

I couldn't delete the folder so I went into the folder itself and deleted the files individually. Is there a way to completely delete that folder? Using DiskUsage and the Root Browser on Rom Toolbox Pro doesn't seem to delete it. I don't even use Clockworkmod anymore hmm

If you're rooted you should be able to delete it. See if you can change its permissions to read/write. Just delete the clockworkmod folder and subfolders. Don't try to delete /mnt/shell/emulated

That was odd. It didn't work (even if im rooted or changed the permissions) but when moving it to the sdcard partition, it deleted it from there it was successful. Now, its gone and its contents are gone so I have an extra 2.4gb to use on my phone now. Thank you for the help! It's been like this for months.

Learn how to read would be the first step

Probably it's something with the TWRP and OP6T encryption. I also faced this error not long time ago. Try to do the backup on an external USB through OTG.
As long as it is not possible to decrypt the 6T, you won't be able to do a full backup. Does also not work via OTG as the encrypted data cannot be read from internal memory.

It's because your phone is encrypted, but you can still take a nandroid backup using this thread.

Phone Is decrypted after rooting

I MEAN ENCRYTING
So i decided after a month of having my phone its about time i rooted it.
So i wanted to stick with Stock Rom so i just rooted without installing a customer rom.
Done the whole process,
1-Flashed TWRP.
2-Wiped Data and factory reset through TWRP.
3-Installed Magisk zip through TWRP.
4-Rebooted.
I now have a stock rom rooted with TWRP recovery, So after setting up my phone i downloaded all my appropriate apps that i use with root.
But i have noticed whilst converting a user app into system app it tells me that there is sufficient room on system partition to convert, So i decided to download JRummy root explorer and noticed no items in my root directory shows up.
After this i noticed my phone is encrypted. How do i get stock rom rooted and decrypted so that i can access my root directory.

It's a know issue
Use a root browser and delete apps from System / app.
I deleted gmaps and YouTube to gain 94mb
Both apps still work fine

There is no link between encryption and space left in /system
It's just that OnePlus decided to use the whole system partition

Can't install oxygen

Hello. I just got OnePlus 5 yay. I tried to root it. I played a bit with the TWRP recovery and eventually I can't install the oxygen ROM, old or latest. I get this error 7:

Tried changing file system type for all folders and also tried to remove compatibility.zip out of ROM with 7zip.
I can install other ROMs like MIUI and LineageOS successfully.
When I'm trying to go Factory Reset i get this message. I believe there's connection between the two?

Error 7 means corrupt zip file.
So maybe you have a wrong starting point for your rooting project
Where did you start with?
What is you current twrp recovery (file name)?
What is your current Rom(file name)?
What is your magisk version?
Is your storage encryped or decrypted?
I can see the error there is a assert command. The zip file isn't for your device. If you have a full rom backup (twrp and stock rom zip recommended), then you may just edit the updater-script and remove the assert check system from the updater script. Then create a zip file of the folder contents. Then try again. If it doesn't help, report back here.

I actually had this issue last night when I went from Pie to Android 10. I did the dumb mistake of flashing the dumpling TWRP instead of Cheeseburger. What I suggest is you reflash the latest TWRP for your device and try again. Below is a list of them for OP5 and I would recommend Coreworkx TWRP
