I'm having trouble getting rid of four alleged files and of a directory listing them.
I have a rooted Nexus 7 on which is installed Stickmount, and for which I've been using Astro File Manager.
A while back, I mounted a flash drive by way of USB OTG, and at some point had a crash. Now, when no drive is mounted in that way, the system none-the-less insists that one is (as /storage/sdcard0/usbStorage/sda1), that it has four .PNG files each 0 bytes, that these files cannot be deleted or otherwise editted, and that no other file can be stored to the supposedly mounted drive. The owner of the files is root, which supposedly has write permission for each, but attempts to delete as root (from within an on-board terminal window or an ADB session) produce a permissions error. Stickmount will not unmount the alleged device.
I'd like to clean-out this cruft, without effecting some major over-haul. I'm basically a Linux user, though I can boot to Windows if truly necessary.
