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

Since I can't post in the q & a forum I am posting here but mods feel free to move it. So I have a wm6.1 device and a Mac computer and I regularly send files, like cab and music files with out an issue. However, today I noticed that I send a music file like usual and the file is no where to be found on the devices however space about the same size as the file is being taken up. So I send another two files(one music and one cab file) with out an issue at all. Then later on I send a cab file, but I don't see it on the device even though space is being take up. This may have happened prior to this, but I didn't realize it or something. So how can A) regain that space by deleting those files not showing up, or B) find the files that are not showing up and use them as I intended to. I am loosing space because of this. Option of last(and I mean last) resort is a hard rest which I don't like to do. Thank you....

get a good file browser and search for the missing files. You may want to use a wild card search (*.cab,*.mp3)
if you still can not find them look in the folders in /Windows and /Temp or or equivalent on the device
well i am using total commader so I dunno how good that is or not. Not to mention I have done what you suggested and even searched for files added with in the last 3 days and nothing on all fronts but yet the sapce is being taken up by something that I can't seem to find on my device. Memory maid was no help either(granted I only did a clean up). But thank you.
have you tried using the default file explorer?
Today I woke up to find duplicate folders on my storage card, as shown in image 1. Checking properties for the duplicate folder shows its an .exe and the third image confirms it.
I tried resetting the device and taking the card out, nothing helped.
Whats going on? I can delete them but what happened??
Thats weird.
Thanks guys

You have a lot of files with a folder icon that are infact executables.
Some kind of virus infection..
Check the services for any abnormal executable startups and delete them.
Otherwise: hardreset and card reformat.
Yes it seems like the folders were duplicated into .exe's.
How do I get a virus on a windows mobile?? If that is what it really is.
Any way, how do I check the services?

Virus can enter SD card when you put it in infected computer. Remove your card and insert in clean computer having good antivirus. Scan it and remove the virus. You can use some mobile antivirus as well. These are available in different fora. Google.
I took it out of the phone and put it in my card reader and currently scanning it with Kaspersky Internet Security.
Lets see what happens.
Thanks for the ideas guys, please keep it coming.

what happened ultimately? you did'nt inform.
Ok Kaspesrky took about an hour and 40 mins to scan it and found several viruses.
See attached image.
It seems that the source is either the RSS updates or the target seemed to hit RSS updates. I am using SPB Insight.
It did not detect the other stuff because I manually deleted all the duplicate folders which morphed into .exe files. I guess had I not deleted them, Kaspersky would have detected and deleted them.
I started using Awesome Drop around 2 months or so ago and it's been quite amazing. However, about 3 or so weeks ago the app just started force closing.
Each time I opened the app I'd get the following message:
"The application Awesome Drop (process com.dashwire.drop) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Has anyone else had this issue, or figured out a way to get it working again? I emailed the developers with this issue, but haven't heard a word from them and it's been over two weeks.
Same thing here....
try re-installing it.

I've reinstalled 3 times. That's not the issue. If you un-install an app, does it leave files on the phone, similar to a computer? If so, perhaps I need to do a bit a snooping and physically remove anything that was left over after uninstalling.

Installing SHOULD erase everything but go on root explorer or another folder thing and search apps name and delete anything you can find, then reinstall
I went through my SD card and couldn't find anything to delete, with the exception of the "drop" folder that contains all the files I've transferred on to my phone. So, on a hunch I decided to transfer said files to the "downloads" folder on the SD card and deleted the "drop" folder. After un-mounting my phone, I fired up awesome drop and it now works like new again.
Problem solved!

A LOT OF THANKS !!!.
Sometimes when I am using google chrome ads.bin file auto downloads on my phone. It seems like the problem occurs on very different web pages (happened here on xda too). I already checked my phone with avg and malwarebytes but nothing showed up. Is anyone else having the same issues or has any info about that?
EDIT: Okay, I discovered that Chrome automatically saves .apk files as .bin files (security related?). So .apk file is actually trying to get on my phone. I found a verry similar issue here, but without any real explanation: forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one-x/210532-url-bin-download-finished-what.html

Did you solve this?
I have the same problem, it's really annoying
Hi,
I bought a Huawei Mate 8 from ebay couple of months back. The phone is awesome. Great battery life and fast charging.
However, the problem I am having is that the files get deleted on their own from the Downloads folder.
There is no set pattern. I file which I downloaded few weeks might still be there while another downloaded a week back might already be deleted.
It could be any file like .mp3, .pdf, .cbr, .docx, etc.
I do not have sd card installed. Nor do I have any antivirus software.
Whatsapp and Chrome are pretty much the only app I have.
Please let me know what should I do.
Thank you.

Go to the Phone Manager, and then System optimization, and press the settings icon at the top right and disable the automatic cleanup.
This took me "a while" to figure out myself as well :good:
