I recently sideloaded a couple Android apps (Kindle and 2 games). I went to play some music and noticed that there were two entries for each song. I used a file browser and saw that they were in the regular music folder as well as a music folder under Android.....?

I deleted the files in the Android music folder - went back to the music player and now they're all gone!

What's up?

this duplicate-like scenario has been mentioned in some other posts, do a search to get the gist

Same situation as for movie files:

It's a duplication of names only, not data. They simply linking one to the other. Nothing to worry about.

Then why is my used space doubled.

EG i have 4 GB of music but my playbooks used space is 8 GB

The operating system and apps take up space.

The files are NOT duplicates. How are you looking at USED space? Windows does not provide an accurate value.

The Android folder is shown as 'Misc' and it just has mirror image of the files on your PlayBook. This is done because Android applications are designed to read the file structure in a particular format. If you delete file in any one place, it will be deleted in both. Try to stay away from files placed in Misc folder, as they are automatically positioned there and updated incase of any deletion.
