Identical Dalvik cache on both phone and sd-ext ????

[Guest bstock]

Hi have been using A2SdGui for some time now but recently I noticed my phone's internel memory was going down.

On checking with root explorer I discovered that I had dalvik cache files on my phone and on my sd-ext partition both identical in size.

I am presuming this is not correct but would like advise on how to correct the problem without causing any damage, have tried move and move and rebuild options on A2SdGui but just get the same result.

Anyone come across this before??

Thanks

Just delete both and restart your phone, the boot takes a while because dalvik cache will be rebuild, after that there should be one dalvik cache left

Apologies if I sound stupid but should I delete the files with root explorer or via recovery program?

Did try via clockwork recovery program previously and nothing seemed to happen.

do a nandroid and then delete both folders with root explorer ;)

Deleted both folders as you advised and rebooted.

Sadly both folders reappeared, both the same size (101.52mb)

I've noticed I am suddenly running out of internal memory, where do you find your Dalvik cache?

I'm running Gingerournay 3.0.1

Think I might be getting totally confused here, just looked at the sd-ext again and the app folder is also replicated on the phone under the /data folder. Also note under Folder properties that they are Linked to /sd-ext/app and davlik-cache respectively so am i correct in guessing that when I open /data/app with route explorer it is actually showung the contents of /sd-ext/app?

If this is the case I'll have to look elsewhere to see why my internal memory is being used up.

Don't think that will solve your problem unless you have a program like a2sdgui installed and have partitioned your sd card, in which case open a2sd and move the dalvic-cache to sd-ext. The dalvic-cache is needed for the programs to run correctly, if you delete it it will just rebuild itself during the next (long) reboot of your phone.

Yeah, that could be the case.
