Where Android Apps Store Their Data (Very Simple)

Just like with a normal PC, android apps are not very different in where they store their app data. And this is the default location where all apps store their data. So whatever you would wish to do with your app, like

• deleting it’s data to run the app as if it is newly installed.
• Needing to free up your phone storage space
• Speeding up your android device.
• For the purposes of pasting OBB files.
• Transferring files to sync your data and progress from your previous phone.

After installing your application, either from Google Play Store or from an external source as an apk file, the data is stored in the same location. You will find here all the databases, settings and any other data.

here: :- file manager/internal storage/Android/data/your_package_name

Besides that, all android apps can store their data anywhere on your SD card. There is nothing stopping them from doing so. That is why you mostly find a lot of junk files on your SD card storage and you can have a hard time deciding what purpose they serve.
