This article is here to help you find your files you see in file manager but can't seem to find via terminal.
Note: power users should know how to use find, so lets keep this article beginner-friendly!
Location table
| File manager path | Real path | Size of the partition |
|---|---|---|
| root | / | 256MB |
| space for software installations etc. | /home | 2GB |
| Nokia N900 | /home/user/MyDocs | 27GB |
| Nokia N900/Documents | /home/user/MyDocs/.documents | |
| Nokia N900/Images | /home/user/MyDocs/.images | |
| Nokia N900/Sounds | /home/user/MyDocs/.sounds | |
| Nokia N900/Videos | /home/user/MyDocs/.videos | |
| Memory card | /media/mmc1 | Memory cards size |
And if you still don't find what you're looking for, you can try to use find at terminal as following:
find /path/ -name 'filename*'
Path can be for example / but it will give you errors if you dont have Root access and it makes the search to last longer. And if you don't give exact filename, remember to use wildcards(*)!
