This may be a super trivial question, but I cannot seem to find how to delete files in the "downloads" folder/app.
I had downloaded some PDF files, and it shows in the Internet & Downloads page. I've tried clearing the cache/cookies/history in my Internet settings, but the files still appear in my Downloads section. I thought there was a way to delete them in the Downloads menu, but it does not appear to be. When I press the "Menu" button, it just gives me the option to Sort By Size.
Any suggestions?
In stock browser, when you look at your downloads history, you should see tick boxes next to each download. When you tick the box the option to delete should appear.
also, as a general idea, you could open the file explorer, navigate to the folder Downloads/ and delete the files you want to delete. a good thing about android is that you actually don't have to take care of file locations but it can still help to use file explorer to move, copy or delete files.
This is probably a stupid question, but I'm wondering where the actual folder location for the Downloads app/button that is in the app drawer is. Well, it shows up in the app drawer but I'm sure it's not an app. I'm running 4.4.2. Nothing I've ever downloaded goes there. It always ends up on the sd card in the download folder.
So what is the app/button good for? And is there a way to redirect downloads to go there? Seems like an easy way to check what you downloaded without using a file manager. If it only worked.
Downloads app is a download manager. You can see your current downloads and the finished ones there (not every download though...Chrome downloads appear there, for example), install or delete downloaded apps. But your files still go to sdcard download folder.
In this thread you will read about simple and easiest way using which you can hide any folder or file in Android phone without using any software or app. So why don’t you check the steps below:
Guide to Hide Folder/Files in Android Without Software
1. First of all Open file manager of your device. I’m using Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for this tutorial. (but procedure is same in all the device)
2. In File Manager, Tap on Device Storage or SD Memory Card to head over to the next step.
3. Now in My Files you need to Create New Folder with any name. But make sure to add . before the name of the folder. For Example, If you name the folder “lavish” add . and it will look like “.lavish”
4. Once folder is created you need to copy and paste all the private content in this folder an check your gallery whether its showing your photos/videos or not. Once you confirm it to be visible follow the next step
5. In option you will see Setting option, just tap on it.
6. When you click on Settings, another window will open. In this window you will notice two option Show Hidden Files and Show Hidden Extension. You need to uncheck show hidden files option which is checked by default.
Note: If you want to hide file uncheck show hidden files, and if you want to hide particular extension uncheck show hidden extension
7. Now after doing above step you will notice that the folder you created is not visible in the Windows. Now this means you have successfully hidden your private content. To confirm this, again head over to gallery and I’m sure that you will notice all the photos and videos which was visible to till 3 steps are not visible any more.
8. Whenever you want to access these files. You just need to check Show Hidden Files or Show Hidden Extension and all Folders and File become visible to you.
Note: In case, if you’re seeing the hidden files in gallery after following the above method. You just need to move the folder to another location and move it back to same location.

So this is how you can hide folder of files in Android phone without using any software of application. Try this trick and let me know whether this was helpful or not. You can also share what other method you’re using to hide your folders and files.
Good idea.trying now.
Why do all that. Just stick a empty file with the . nomedia file extention in what ever folder you don't want picked up in gallery or other folders.
I was using one of those apps that hides your photos. Well I guess the developers decided to delete the app but not tell people or something. I looked thru my storage and found the folder where the pics are but they are all in text mode they are not .jpg files. How do I get the pictures back?? I had over 900 pictures in there. Some that are irreplaceable and very important. Is there a way to get them back or no??
I don't remember the name of the app. The icon just says Android Safe.
Hey there, thought of some suggestions that might help:
1) Check if the only change to files is that they were changed from .jpg to .txt
If that is the case then just batch change the files extention back to what they were via PC. See:
https://www.isumsoft.com/windows-10/change-file-extension-for-one-or-multiple-files.html
2) Try to locate the program. Enter Google Play - - > My apps & gamea - - > Library.
Apps previously installed can most of the time be still installed even if they were removed from Play Store.
3) Try to look for an APK of the app on some app hosting sites like APK Mirror and APKPure.
Good luck buddy.

If I plug phone into PC, I can't find the folder that has the files in it.
If I am on phone and I look for folder, it's in emulated folder, sdcard, etc etc.
But I don't have an sd card in my phone. It doesn't take one.
And I looked in play store, apps, library, installed apps, and it's not there. Yet the icon is on my phone, and I can open the app.

From my limited knowledge the "sdcard" & "emulated" are just android naming conversions for local storage, ect... It doesn't necessary mean that it is located in SD card or the folder is actually emulated.
Regarding Phone:
* If you still have the app installed (I kinda didn't understand it from your og message), you can find its name by going to (Vague description incoming): Settings --> Installed apps --> Look for your app & press it --> The name should appear now on top, below the icon.
* From here you can try clearing cache and see if it helps and even clear all of the apps data.
Regarding PC:
* Make sure you are connected as MTP storage (Can be changed from notifications).
* If you still can't see it then try enabling the display of hidden files & folders on your PC:

Well, most likely in your download folder, but you can also check under Android/data/... and finder the OneDrive folders. Sometimes file are stored there.
I don't use OneDrive, that's why my answer is that generic.
I use Dropbox tho, and it has an export button, if there is one on OneDrive I think you'll be able to save the file to a location of your choice.
Have a good day
Once you mark a file or folder offline, OneDrive will list it in a 'Files Available Offline' view.
Tap the 'Me' icon at the bottom of the app, then tap 'Files Available Offline' to instantly find all your offline files and folders.
