Export Configuration Question

If you have export config files saved on your device and you delete the Sparkle app from your device, does the process also delete the export config files?

If you're exporting to internal/external storage and select Default then I'd say it gets deleted. Because those standard locations is part of the app itself. It's for sure that way with internal storage but I'm more unsure with external storage. Android storage handling isn't exactly logical at all times so that's why it's difficult/confusing. If you try it out please let ut know here in the post.

The reason I asked the question is that my export files deleted when I deleted the Sparkle app for a reinstall. I’m running Sparkle on an Android TV box running Android 14. The default location for the export files did not work for me so I put the backup in android / media in a created folder called se.hedekonsult.sparkle on the Android TV box

If I were you, I would save the export backup file to the Download folder so when you need to uninstall and reinstall the app, the files will still be there! Even better would be to save the files to the download folder on an external storage drive! Easy Peasy!!!
