    Are there duplicate folders of the same name with the same content? For example, Pictures and pictures.

    I can't even delete one as its protected. What the hell. It's taking up memory.

    Ugh.

    Any ideas?

    Mine is like that too. Don't delete unless you know for sure your Android side loads do not need. I leave them there like that.

    It's just symbolic links, the space it supposedly takes up is merely references to other files.

    Explains how my misc folder can exceed 16GB.

    Deleting files within those folders will remove the actual files. I haven't checked for deleting an entire folder, but I believe this is the case as well.

    Don't delete them, as they do not take up any space.

    They're mirrored from you BlackBerry Side. They're not physically there so don't delete them or they'll be deleted from the BlackBerry side too.

    As noted, do NOT delete either the folders or files within them unless you are sure about what you are doing. The Android side of the bb10 devices needs these "places" (files/folders and duplicates) to find the files and folder NAMES it needs. If you are familiar with linux, upper and lower case makes a difference and therefore, similarly, Android apps might store something in "Pictures" or "pictures" and they are really the same place but the distinction is necessary for some of those apps.
