An unstable version of Android 5.1.1 caused a bootloop on my phone. I fixed things, but after the incident the 0 directory located inside /storage/emulated/0 dived DEEPLY DOWN. Now I can't delete anything inside.

I guess it's because the path is too long. I successfully used 7zip once I had that problem in Windows, I wonder if something like robocopy or subst method is possible on Android. Here's a screenshot of me gaining root access and then trying to wipe things out which was not successfull.

  • Wow, that looks crazy! storage/emulated/0 isn't "real" and you shouldn't be deleting 0, if you are trying to clean out /data/media/0 pass a wildcard rm -fr /data/media/0/* that will flush out your internal "sdcard"

  • @moonbutt74 Man, I am so grateful to you for clarifying things about paths. I though that if any FM with root-access opens /storage/emulated/0 when you choose "internal memory", it's what I need. Everything worked out awesome because I was able to delete only the mentioned directory w/o "formatting" internal memory
