I have this same problem on a different phone and its driving me crazy lol. Found any solution?
zt...@google.com
I also have this problem and with only 1.4gb the file fills the phone immediately. Please address this issue as my phone is virtually unusable. I have to clear the file to use other apps. I have to wait half an hour to regenerate the file to use the camera our three gallery.

Me, too!
Thumbnail files become bigger than the combined size of all other photos, so it has to be a bug.
Gallery and Camera become extremly sluggish after a while (because they have to read those massive thumbnail files?). They become responsive after deleteing those files. But the files become autocreated, and keep growing again.
Only workaround seem to ba a couple of hacks that stop the Gallery App from re-creating those darn files (e.g. chmod a-w, or creating directories with those filenames names)

as far as I know it's a bug from Android, that spread to all devices and there's no official solution at the moment.
The only workaround to temporary fix it is trough command line:
1) delete these files and make the .thumbnail folder read-only
2) create a script that every now and since cleanup this folder
Unfortunately, the CPU consumption will still be there in both cases. Try to use as less as possible the official gallery, and use instead another one (e.g. xperia gallery, or any app)

the same problem...thumbnails is eating 1.7GB of storage.
ro...@gmail.com
Does Google know about this issue? This is a major issue and is completely unacceptable. My thumbnails folder got to almost 3 GB and when I deleted it I didn't get the space back! This has happened twice already! Google, get off your collective ass and fix this extremely irritating issue!

Same for me, but i dont have a linux PC, i found there is a sudo command to redirect the creation of this folder to a null.

I notice a direct correlation between using the phone camera and the file size growth. So I don't think it's the stock gallery. I think it's the phone camera thumbnail file. I have seen solutions for those running rooted phones, but none for stock phones. Deleting the file repeatedly is a work around. Where is the official response from Google?

This problem is really ridicolous... amateur!!!

I've had luck creating a FOLDER with the same exact name as the thumbdata FILE. I tried a file with the same name, but it got overwritten. If you use a folder, it works. You'll need some type of file browser with view hidden files enabled. BTW, you must add the . at the begging of your folder name to make it hidden.

Hi all, i found out this file is being created by Whatsapp, when sending a picture to a contact. I created the empty folder using winrar because windows didnt allow that .name, however it still rewritting. Any other idea?
sa...@gmail.com
it isn't whatsapp, camera or gallery alone. These thumb files are created whenever you make changes to any picture, I mean if you delete any pics or add some more pics then if you browse those pictures let say "attach image from gmail/whatsapp" it will regenerate thumbs.
I'm really embarrassed.. please let me know if anyone got solution yet

Same here. I delete .thumbdata file manually but it returns as soon as I use camera/gallery app. No wonder my device gets unresponsive if it generates such a massive file in the background.
My .thumbdata file is around 1GB which is way more than total size of all images on device, that doesn't make sense does it ?

Description
Empty preview image!
EXCEPTION in parsing svg_logo2.svg:
For input string: "100%"Exception while parsing XML file:
Premature end of file.
To reproduce, right click the `res`folder in the Project view, then "New|VectorAsset". Select 'Local SVG file', then click the '...' button next to 'Image File:' and open the attached file. The error box appears containing 'Empty preview image!' and clicking on the "More...' link shows the above error.
I have hand-tweaked this file from the official SVG logo at
