Hi,
Could someone please tell me how to permanently get rid of the "Preload" folder on my rooted LG G6??
There is a way because i've manage it a long time ago but can't remember how i did this
My old G6 did'nt survive the impact with the floor, so i've bought a used one for the time being.
But this preload folder is really anoying........
Can someone PLEASE help me??
So are you just not wanting the folder to show up in your gallery?
After doing some searching, the gallery shouldn't scan hidden folders. You can hide the folder by going to your file manager and hiding that folder. Find that folder and add a ". " before the name.
Try that and let me know if it works.

So I have my EVO mounted and while viewing the root of the SD card I hit <Ctrl>H to show hidden files and then go to .Trash-1000 and all of the files that I thought I had deleted from the music folder are in this folder.
Any info on how to get rid of these files? Even if I try to re-select them and delete they disappear for 1 sec then return... They are .flac files and are very large, so I need them gone.
What is the proper way to delete files directly from folders?
What computer are you using with your phone? '.Trashes' is the name Macintosh uses for the un-emptied trash folders. I imagine similar processes are used by other OSes. To empty it simply requires emptying the Trash (or Recycle Bin) from Finder or the like. You can also use any file browser when the phone isn't mounted to delete that folder directly.

By default on Ubuntu (and other distros with GNOME), pressing delete just puts files in a trash folder. In the file browser you'll have to "Empty Trash" to delete them.
If you want to skip sending them to the Trash in the first place, press "Shift-Delete"
I Usually delete that entire folder.

Hello, for some reason when I press on the folder it doesn't show any of my files, only a transparent white window. Any advice?
I'm using a SD card.
bumping this thread
Can you be a little clearer? What folder, and where is it? Is this through a file explorer, or a folder on your home page?
Just give us more to go on

I don't know how to acces the media on my SD.
Pressing on folder shows a white transparent window.
What application are you trying to access it with? Talk me through from the beginning so I can see if I can help.

I have no idea, I just need to find the media that are on my SD.
Windows mobile had file explorer, does the latest NAND have it?
I've got no idea how to access it..
There are plenty of file explorers available from the market. You just need to search on there.
I personally use Root Explorer as it allows you to modify/copy/paste system files.
The folder you are probably trying to access is simply a virtual folder you have created on your android desktop. To use it you need to drag icons to it to organise stuff into groups etc.
What you should be doing to access your SD card is using an actual file explorer/manager app like the one described above. I personally use ASTRO File Manager though.
PS. Next time you ask for help please be more descriptive of your issue/problem.
This is best way to hide your folders in android and you don't require a software for it.
You just have to rename the folder starting with dot (.)
For eg. to hide
My folder
just rename it as
.myfolder
isn't that easy.
no nned to use ur pc u can do it directly using ur phone/
some file managers automatically show those folders

make a new file nd rename it to ".nomedia" .. put it in any folder u want to hide its contents..
I use an app called Hide It Pro (shown as Audio Manager in app drawer). Works like a charm. Even the fake Audio Manager can be used to adjust ringer/notification volume etc. Give it a try....

No real folder hide application on android ??
Hi !
I searched applications which could hide folder on my andorid phone incrementally. By saying this i mean that suppose i hide a folder and that folder is used by camera app. If i hide the folder then it shouldnot show on gallery but when camera is used, it can access the folder and save images in it but again if we go to gallery then it should not be shown. Eg: A camera app uses camera folder to put all the images taken. So if i hide camera folder then the camera can use it to save the folder yet not showing in the gallery. So i dont have to hide the pictures again when new are taken. Is there any app which can do this??

Use QuickPic to hide folders, but camera folder can't be hidden.
brother, This is basic things on androids.. I think you should look at this..
Basic of android
1.How to take a screenshot on my phone
2. How to format my phone (2 methods).
3. How to Hide File or Folder without application.
4. General profile mood to silent mood vice versa.
5. Start or end the Call pressing Button.
6. How to Root My Phone.
7. Track your lost phone.
8. How to Force Restart – Reboot my phone.
9. What is my Android version.
10. What to do when application doesn’t work.
I have a Nexus 4 running CyanogenMod 10.1. I want to hide the WhatsApp images folder. I have already tried placing a "." at the beginning of the file name and also adding a .nomedia file in to the WhatsApp images folder. Both methods hide the folder only until you receive or send an image on WhatsApp whereby the folder appears again.
Any help would be appreciated.
I don't entirely know if this would work because I haven't used whatsapp, so I don't know what their folder setup is like. You could try to put a .nomedia file in the folder above the images folders.
Eg. If the image folder is \SD-Card\Whatsapp\Images
put the .nomedia file in \SD-Card\Whatsapp\.nomedia
Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately this gives the same result as described in my original post. It hides the folder temporarily until an image is sent or received on WhatsApp, whereby the folder appears again.
Any other sugesstions would be welcome.

Download Quickpic from Play Store and hide the folder.
P.S Once you hide the folder from Quickpic, it doesn't show up on the default Gallery app as well.
Ooh, I didn't know that. And Quickpic is an awesome image viewer/gallery anyways, so I already had it installed. Thanks for the tip!

its a stupid workaround but here.
rename the images folder to Whatsapp Images.bak
restart the phone
remove the new Whatsapp Images folder and rename the *.bak to the orignal folder name
I've tried all the methods you mention. I hided the folder in quickpic, but it doesn't work. I put a new file named .nomedia both in the whatsapp folder or in the whatsapp images folder, but it doesn't work (it hides the folder just untill you dont post or download an other images from whatsapp). I tried renaming the whatsapp images folder with the .bak but still doesn't work.
I have a new nexus 4. How can I hide this folder from my gallery?

You always make a folder named ".Pictures" or something with a ".nomedia" file in it somewhere on your phone and manually move whichever pictures you want to hide there.
EDIT: I searched "hide app" in the Play store and there's a few apps that claim they can hide pictures.
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=hide+app
This is not the point. I don't want to hide pictures in a folder. What I would like to do is to hide the "whatsapp images" folder from the gallery. All the methods you mention in this thread are not valid for the nexus 4. Other solutions?

QuickPic is the way to go. The stock Gallery app should have been like it. All you have to do is to long press that folder, hit the menu button and choose exclude. Of course it only takes effect within QuickPic itself. Stock Gallery app sucks anyway.

.. so how do you view your photospheres? With quickpic? I doubt that..

Yeah, QuickPic doesn't support pictures taken using Photosphere. But its other advantages still outshine Gallery
Again, the point is not to hide some pictures. The point is to hide the whatsapp images folder from the gallery. Probably I'm not clear, I don't know, you keep giving solution on how to hide pictures.

Did you at least try it? I haven't, but I assume that the folder would be hidden after all the pictures are hidden. :S
The folder will be hidden until you will send or receive an other picture from whatsapp.
Nobody knows how to solve this problem?

I don't think anyone knows how to solve this, but right now the only way seems to be to hide new pictures after you receive them.

Use root explorer, find the dcim folder. Inside there find the mei folder. Inside mei folder create a file and name it .nomedia now that folder or any files won't show in gallery. Or delete the mei folder from dcim with root explorer not via gallery

Thanks but i am not saying that there is pictures inside. I said the mei folder keeps appearing. Its always empty. I always delete the folder using es explorer not gallery but it will reappear again.

Then it must be down to an app that's using storage permission to create that folder. Try to find the app and disable permissions or delete
I have the same too, but that folder is not a big deal... If you deleted the "mei" folder, it will reappear again when you open LINE app...
