i noticed my /data/data/com.android.browser/app_thumbnails folder is getting quite big. there are these .pic.save files and I can't tell what they are for.
is it safe to remove all of these files to free up some space?
bump bump bump
back them up and test it

Where can I find the save files for games? Don't want to lose all my progress after a wipe! Thanks in advance =D

There is no standard location although generally this type of info is stored in /sdcard.
If you really don't ever want to lose anything, I suggest Titanium Backup Pro + Dropbox.

Well you gotta be rooted, and I find that lots of game save data is stored internally in /data/data/ and you have to be root to access it
i want to delete bloatware myself. is there a list anywhere of apps that are safe to delete?
also, is it better to delete or Freeze the app? if i delete them what is the best way? where are they located?
thanks gang
They are located in system/app. List what apps you would like to remove, and we can let you know if its safe.
Here is a nice list of all the .apks and a how to.

Instead of deleting apps (with the exception, perhaps, of obvious crap such as Golf, etc.) or freezing, I use Root Explorer to rename the unwanted files to xxxxxxx.apk1. This way, it's still on the phone just in case but doesn't load.
Titanium can be flaky sometimes, in my experience.
Hey all,
Just a newb question I've been wondering about for awhile and can't think of a better place to ask,
So, What are these files and can I delete them?
They are on my devices SD Card.

They seem to keep growing and if I don't need them, I'd like to trash them. lol
All files are only 1.3 MB, but if not needed, why keep?
Thanks for any enlightenment and apologies for my newb questions. lol
oh so that's what they're for. Good to know! lol
I was just wondering if anyone knows what these are, or if theyre needed? This folder contains a bunch of text files. Im guessing this amount gets larger over time, there are quite a few i have in there already. Are they safe to delete?
anyone?
Hi. Just got the P30 and all is good and fine until I noticed it is constantly deleting the APK files I move to its internal storage. Every time I copy at a certain time they get deleted. I can see several folders getting updated at the same time but I cannot figure out why it does that. I thought there is something wrong with the files, but they seem ok. I can install any app and it remains on my phone. Does anyone know why it is doing this?

You should probably check in the app Optimiser > Settings > Auto-clean junk files
Thanks @ykkhern. It looks like it was the online virus scan in optimizer that deleted. Good to know
