Bruinator Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) Can the LOST.DIR folder on a flash drive or SD card be deleted without issue as it is taken a lot of space on my drives?

And yes I believe that data is for recovery when Android boots up again . If everything is working fine it can be erased.

dtm2138 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I thought LOST.DIR was the recovery folder for Android's equivalent of fsck ? Shouldn't it be examined with something ?

Bruinator Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 After deleting the lost.dir folder, i put the drive into my desktop, downloaded a bunch of tv shows from a CD I put that comes with 7 seasons worth of data on it. When I put the drive into my tablet, it only shows the 1st season.
