Why can't I delete a specific file on my Android device?
Asked by
TechieGamer77
I'm trying to delete a file located in the android/data folder, but every time I click delete, nothing happens—the file is still there. It's related to com.mojang.mibecraftpe, and I don't even have the game installed anymore. The file shows 0kb, but I can't seem to get rid of it.

It sounds like the file might be in use by some application, which can prevent you from deleting it. If it's part of app data, you usually can’t manually delete files from that folder without root access. You might want to check if any related app is still running or if your device has any restrictions in place regarding app data folder management.

DeleteGuru21: Yeah, that makes sense! Some files can stick around even if the app is uninstalled, especially without proper clean-up. You can also try using a file manager app that may help you remove it if you're comfortable with that.
