Hey there,
I'm looking for a sort of trash can in android, does such a folder exist? Obviously not in the regular visible folders, but I thought it might be somewhere in the system files. Any idea, anyone?
Thanks!

Newbie question here, but anyone know if a separate app is needed to open pwi files? If so what is it? I've got notes from my old phone that I'd like to transfer over....thanks!!!
I'm in the same boat baileyjs. I've tried a few different "note" programs but I haven't found one that works. If anyone else knows...the answer would be much appreciated. Thanks.

PWI? Pocket word? What if you rename them to .doc?
I'm pretty positive you can open a pocket word file with standard word on the desktop, so should be able to with quickoffice or whatever on the phone provided it has the right extension?
I was flicking through Root Browser on my SD Card today and I noticed some things that I have no idea what they are. In the past, I deleted them and it messed with my gallery or with other kinds of stuff.
The specific names of the folders are as follows:
burstlyImageCache
LazyList
LOST.DIR
Mikulu
myrecord
.wiyun
.udstate
.config_c38
What are these? what happens if I delete them? I'm not overly concerned, I'm just curious.

generally if you do not know what something is, don't delete it. I think the image cache thing has to do with the camera, and anything with a dot in front of it is a system file, so leave those alone.
Delete it if its unuseful!

I don't agree!!!
Apps often let unused files in various folders, saturating the memory of the SD Card.
If u don't know what its for, ask (or ask google )
For exemple, wiyun is a chinese game editor. Hence .wiyun is its trash directory. If you don't have any games left from this editor, you can safely delete the folder.
Mikulu folder is probably from Mikulu music player ...
etc.
Directories myrecord & myalbum
Directories myrecord & myalbum are created by the
"Easy Downloader" app and by the "Pro" variant also.
Creating empty files with equal names prevents directory
creation. But uninstalling is the only way to avoid this completely.
Best regards
P.S. I assume that other "Easy ..." apps by the 2Easy Team
developer will create them because of the in app promotion
content.
Last night, I was looking through my Gallery and saw a few things I'd drawn in SketchBook Pro. Not everything I'd drawn in SK was there, but some were. I figured they were copies or thumbnails or something and, because I like to keep my file systems clean, I deleted them from the Gallery.
Well, turns out they weren't copies or thumbnails, but MY DRAWINGS! Ugh!
So my question is, is there anything comparable to a recycle bin on this thing, where my drawings might still exist? A second question is, does the Gallery just gather all the image-type files and display them, no matter where they are?
Thanks in advance!

Gallery does display all images on your tablet unless they are in a hidden folder. If you have images you do not want to be seen in Gallery you can rename the folder they are in by placing a . in front of the folder name. This will make Gallery see the folder as hidden and not access it. However this may also cause some other problems. Example I have a bunch of epub books with cover images with them and I did not want to have all those images showing in Gallery (there are a lot of them) so I made the folder hidden and it worked for Gallery, but I read the books in Cool Reader and all the sudden Cool Reader could not find the books either. I worked around this by creating special folder for my book I am currently reading.
create a .nomedia file and place it in the folder. it'll keep some apps from scanning the folders.
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?
Not sure if this is the right section to post such a thread but I need help...
What I'm trying to do is pull Music/Sound files from unity type .apk files.
My problem is there is no "sound" or "music" folders inside these unity type .apk files and so I'm having a hard time figuring them out.
I've even tried with the .OBB Files with these games and they seem to be the exact same. I've done google searches before posting this and all I'm getting is nothing so here I am asking the PROS of android xD.
This is what it looks like
All I see is a bunch of files with 2 folders called Managed and Resources which is located in assets/bin/Data But I have no idea how to rip any sort of sound/music files from these type of .apk files so I'm hoping someone here knows what file to look for in this situation.
Most games look like this and have the sound/music files hidden somewhere inside something...
