I have some sort of secondary storage I don't know why but on my Samsung s9+ I looked on SDMaid and it said that I have a secondary storage called /dev/null and I cant access it.

We software engineers call that the "bit bucket" or "black hole".

It's a device file (Unix oriented operating systems) that discards data written to it. The write is reported as success.

It's basically used for disposing of unwanted output data of a process

Ignore it
