[epn]

Hi there,

You need to delete the thumbnail folder and save your memory. Thereafter Andrioid will create a new thumbnails.

Connect your phone to a computer > DCIM > thumbnails > and delete all

or

Delete the thumbnail folder using Astro File Manager(for example) > \mnt\sdcard\DCIM\ .thumbnails > delete all and restart the phone.

Cheers.

Follow the suggestion above.If it keeps occuring,remove the file thumbnails... and make a new folder with the same name.

And how is it possible my .thumbnails is 2.48 GB big ?
Thanks

It could be all the thumbnails from all your photos on the phone.But do try what I suggested,remove the file and create a new folder with the exact same name.

First of all thank you for the quick answer.
I deleted the folder, but it doesn't seem to have any impact on the phone's storage..
And I don't know how thumbnails works so it seems qui strange to have a 2.5 giga folder on a 2.05 giga phone.
And it refuses to create a .thumbnails folder (using ES)

Try androzip.After you delete thumbnail file,create the folder and restart your phone.

I still can only create a non-hid (with a dot) thumbnails folder, which I think is useless..
And in fact I may have win ~100 mb, which is a good news because I'm always running short in storage
Thanks for your help though!

Go to settings-apps-all-media storage,force stop and clear data.Restart your phone.It should scan your whole media again.
