I think u should scan your phone with a reliable antivirus, and then try to remove that thumbnail file or folder in Twrp.

How to delete that file in twrp..??

Settings > Apps & Notifications > See all apps > Click on 3 points > Show system > Search for "Media Storage" and clear storage.
Now, use a file manager that shows hidden files and go to "DCIM" folder > .thumbnails > and delete thumbdata/thumbdata4.
This method works for a while, when the file gets big again, you can repeat the process.
Hope this helps!

[FIX] Can't see some folders when connected to PC

I have read on various Android blogs and facebook pages , People complaining that they can't see/access some of the files/folders of their Android Internal or SD storage when connected to PC via USB cable on MTP Mode. Most of the people using HTC Desire 820/820q/820u etc are facing this problem and many have asked for help on XDA and have been asked to install some sort of file manager or something else, yet they complained it didn't work for them.
What you need to do is Go to Settings > Apps > All apps > Search for Media Storage and External Storage > Clear data for both of them.
(You won't lose your personal data by the way)
Boom Now connect you device to PC and you can see all the folders.
Don't forget to hit Thanks button if this helped.:good:

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.

[Q] SD Card write access on Nougat 7.0 for G935T

I can't grant write access to my sd cardfrom any apps. I am hoping I am missing a setting. Here is the situation
In FX Exploerer you typically add sd card access through this screen
{
"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"
}
Which takes you to this screen
Then you open the menu on the upper right and select your sd card, but as you can see in the shot below, it is not available
View attachment 4050817
There is also nothing available in the upper left menu
Does anyone have any tips in some settings I may be missing or any advice at all? Thank you for the help
Hello mate,
I would strongly suggest you two things:
1. Make sure your SD Card is MOUNTED
2. The most important...if you are using any Package Disabler for your phone, make sure that package "External Storage" is NOT DISABLED. Make sure that is enabled.
Hope it helps brah

Device Care modded?

Is there a modified version that does not display this message?View attachment 4973303
Go to: settings > applications > show system applications> find device care, then clear data. When you now open the smart manager app it will show the device security as deactivated. (easiest way)
If you have your phone rooted you can modify feature.xml file in system/csc folder by adding this string:
CscFeature_SmartManager_DisableAntiMalware>TRUE</CscFeature_SmartManager_DisableAntiMalware> (use Notepad++ to open that file)
Go to: settings > applications > show system applications> find device care, then clear data. When you now open the smart manager app it will show the device security as deactivated. (easiest way)

This method does not work for me. This message returns after a while.

I do not have this file (stock rom 8.0.0). Will editing the other.xml file give the same effect?
Should do mate. Try it.
It works. I have not removed the application because it manages the frame memory better.View attachment 4976417
