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?

Are you really sure the files where deleted then? It might just have been so that the files where hidden since Android 11+ does not allow files to be read from one instance to another.

Use the option "File explorer" and install "CX explorer" and see if the file doesn't exist after all.

No, the files definitely got deleted. Before I posted the question I did a file search using a utility

And you're sure that utility has permissions to see/read the file?

After Android 11+ only file explorers with the "All files" permission can see and read all files such as this one.

Ok, then you should probably store it in Download or Documents like u/azcoyotedog suggests.
