Thumbnail file?
When you go to the app Infos of the messenger, the first point shows the storage use. How much is it there?
use this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage
How do I see that?
It’s deleted videos or failed downloaded videos file . U can try using uni patcher to see the file though you need to search every folder.. it cant be deleted unless you reformat the phone same to wat I did twice .
Yes
Some games and apps download ads so You can watch them offline, check where your games or apps are installed
Nope
I have the same issue, do you know how to fix it without formatting the phone?
Disk Usage with a green icon. Very old and not updated, but still works perfect on newest Android versions.
probably cache from the video ads you get from various apps.
Clear your cache
Could you not go into tools/security/boost phone speed and then after that’s done, there you have the list of all the files on the phone and their location?
Seems like the fastest thing to do.
Lying about amounts of trash you have to look useful.
Deleted files/trash bin
I just showed that doest appear -_-
try to install an explorer and search for popular extensions related to video files. do you use any cloud?
In your hidden porn folder? 🤷🏽♂️👌🏼
Recently deleted folder in the more folders section
Telegram ?
Use astro file manager.
It will show you them
Problem is most vids names are unlike by linux/android and do not show in gallery until renamed without spaces hyphens and special chars.
Once you rename them, they will be visible in gallery etc.
😂😂👌🏼
I have about 300mb as well, most I have is 2-3 videoclips of my cat.
I’m guessing it’s most likely cache from youtube, chrome and other games I have on here.
connect yr phone to pc, download TreeSize and run scan. It helped me solve simmilary problem
I think Xiaomi’s built-in cleaner is lying for some reason. I’ve also seen posts about this thing deleting photos and other stuff when run.
Whatsapp? if you have it set not to show in gallery, this is what it will look like.
Thanks i just freed 5gb
Wooha!
No I don’t have WhatsApp, I don’t have any app which could save videos in my gallery.
Yeah that’s the one I love, even it’s not updated since 2017 still works wonderful.
Lying about what? I was referring to SD Maid.
Maybe you have videos contained in WhatsApp and Viber cache folders.
Eah I know, that’s why I have it turned off
Maybe try this. Go to file manager then video. See if it appears.
They may be from different games with cutscenes
It’s me with my other account.
Some times the messengers save huge files of media on the device and the gallery for example recognize it as cache files of something, so you can’t see them as pictures or videos in the gallery
If u have an app like WhatsApp
Only messenger
Check storage for Dual Apps or Second Space feature
Download mx player and then go to Local Player settings> List> check show hidden files and ignore .nomedia files. Then refresh the app(or close it and open it back again). You will see all the videos.
Probably a cache somewhere. You can try searching for the “.nomedia” files with a file manager to find them. Directories with a “.nomedia” file in them don’t show up in galleries.
so some application saved files with the extension miui sees as video files. I do not see any other solution.
Go to gallery-albums-trash/bin folder
Yo peeps. Is it just me or when i pointed out a few of the cons MIUI has my acc got blockes and the thread deleted?
I read your title in batman’s voice lol
A man of culture ~
I had this problem
Some files didn’t properly deleted so thay just taking memory,
I used Google files app and it worked
I used that but I can’t tell which folders go under “Other”.
Or, just the Viber folder ? If U use it, if it turned on, the Viber saves automatically the videos , and the photos
It was also happening with me,but when I used 3rd party file manager like Google files I was able to videos but when tried to play it won’t play but you can delete it from there.
Video cache .. you probably came across ads in social media sites like reddit, insta , fb…the videos or the gifs that you watch are stored in the apps cache section…those ad videos contribute to this 1GB junk that you are seeing.
Check using your file manager for any videos instead of the gallery
None in the moment. .I try using other file manager app and it shows the file but unfortunately it cant be deleted. Try checking it out in the PC if it can be done .. I only try the Android route which is sadly a bitter end.
Porn jokes aside, probably from video caches from games, your browser, etc.? Also check your “Recently Deleted” images and videos.
Guys just make a pornhub account and have a playlist
I DON’T HAVE PORN IN MY HIDDEN FOLDERS, at least not videos 🙄
Can you tell me which messenger apps do you have? I will take a look and describe you the steps here.
Do you now how to show the App Infos?
🤣🤣👌👍
Jokes aside, wish there was some sort of app which can show you exactly where those dang hidden photos are!
Probably on your trash bin in gallery.
Maybe some system demo files..
Probably aloooot of ads. Maybe just maybe
SD Maid.
oh yeah. didn’t notice that in the end, mah bad mate. ok, try miui videos?
I read your title in batman’s voice lol
Check the local mi videos
Off course
That could be true
220MB :/ Clearly not the problem here, I just came to a conclusion that these are some ads and some games cutscenes.
Oh no
The messenger from Facebook
Ads. Some apps cache ads directly in the phone storage. Clearing your cache will help, but I recommend you to individually open every app folders and delete only what you don’t need
Telegram ?
Could be deleted videos on gallery trash bin or telegram videos
