    Hi All.

    I've moved some apps to the sd card to free up memory on the Droid 1.

    I'm wondering what happens when I flash and install a new os.
    I'm sure that, like a Windows PC, the new ROM won't see those apps on the sd card.
    No problem reinstalling.

    Is there a way to find those orphan apps on the sd card and delete them so as not to clog up the sd card?

    Thanks.
    B

    I've just had the same problem with my Bionic. I did a power cycle and all the apps on the SD card were gone. Any clues?

    This appears to be a software problem that started occurring nearly 2 month ago. I, personally, had it happen on a rooted OG Droid, an unrooted OG Droid, an unrooted Droid 3, and a rooted Droid 3. This happened to me on the very first day I had my Droid 3.

    I just stopped moving apps to the SD card and the problem went away.

    I am not sure what, if any resolution has taken place.
