Default sd card app?

I'm just looking for a simple app that will allow me to view what's on my external sd card instead of everything... I'm just trying to get rid of all the extra junk that I don't need on this card :/ so any help would be awesome

There are a number of file explorers in the market. I like ES File Explorer.

You can go into the settings for ES File Explorer and choose which directory is displayed when you run ES. (Menu->Settings->Home Directory)

If you want to fidn duplicate files on that SD card I would recommend mounting it to your PC and using something like Duplicate Cleaner (or another application or utility appropriate to your OS).

Post I agree with them

Agreed. ES File Explorer would be your best bet.

DiskUsage is something that might be of help to you. One of my most useful apps. It'll give you a visual of what is taking up space in app storage and the SD card. You can even delete entire directories from inside the app.

Root explorer is my favourite as well, has the most useful features, es file manager looks nicer though.... but hey I don't get an app for its look I get it for its FUNCTIONALITY!
