missed items?

[M1Aston]

LTECleaner works well, but it seems to miss some items that are safe to delete. At least I have compared it to CCleaner and here is what I found.

• CCleaner detects and deletes DCIM.thumbnails (which can be really large). It looks like this only is the cache for image viewers, so safe to delete?

-CCleaner detects so-called hidden cache files, which do not show up in my file manager, nor in LTECleaner. Quite large files\folders as it happens. All in the same location. Here is an example

Do you have an SD card?

[TheRedSpy15]

@M1Aston I believe I found the issue. Does your whitelist contain something along the lines of: "/storage/emulated/0/dcim"?

[M1Aston]

No, I don't have an SD card.

The only item on the whitelist is /storage/emulated/0/android/data/net.osmand.plus/files/backup

[TheRedSpy15]

Is this still an issue?

[TheRedSpy15]

Just to confirm, is Ccleaner cleaning this directory? or just just finding it?

Looking at this again, I believe this folder requires root access, unless I use an accessibility feature

[M1Aston]

I have no idea what it actually detects\finds in what is called the hidden cache. I can't verify anything either, because these things don't show up in a file manager or on the computer (when the phone is connected)

i think the "DCIM/thumbnails" issue had something related to values-nl-rNL:

    <!-- TODO: Remove or change this placeholder text -->
    <string-array name="aggressive_filter_folders"> <<== these strings should not be translated as its a list of folder/file that are going to be cleaned
        <item>supersonicades</item>
        <item>Cache</item>
        <item>Analyse</item>
        <item>miniaturen?</item> <<== this (thumbnails?) should not be translated
        <item>mobvista</item>
        <item>UnityAdsVideoCache</item>

This is almost definitely this cause actually. Good find!
