Duplicate folders in gallery

[mattdm]

Hi all,

I've been using my Galaxy S2 for a few weeks, and finally decided my 16gb SD card was not quite big enough. I bought a 32gb card and used my PC to transfer everything from the small card to the large one. Then, I placed the new card in my phone and booted up.
Everything seemed ok, but then I noticed that I now have two of every media folder in my gallery app.

My first thought was that the folders and pictures must have gotten deplicated in the transfer process, but I checked with root explorer, and there is only one of each folder on the card.

Anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks,
-Matt

Hey Matt

I think the reason your seeing duplicates of everything is because with android they store everything on the pre-installed sd card you can try to delete the old ones but make sure you make a backup before you do anything.

don't delete anything.

Go to the media storage application under manage applications (in settings) and clear the cache for that app. You may need to reboot. then check the gallery to see if the duplicates are still there.

This happened to me a while back.

That was one of the first things I tried, but the clear cache button is greyed out. Should I try clearing the data from that app?

yes, clear data. that should work. that's actually what i meant before.

Hope it works.
