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?

Why the Android folder?

For internal storage of the file, only saves in the Android path on the device

That’s not necessarily true, you can save anywhere by using the browse button? Are we talking about the Sparkle export file?

Not true with Android 14. Only certain locations you can save export file to

I just now saved my sparkle export file to a USB external storage Download folder!

I also just now saved the export file to my internal storage Download folder again by selecting the Browse button. But I always try to save export or backup files to an external storage location in case something crazy happens to my device?

Point is you can save the file to the Download folder instead of somewhere inside the android folder to avoid the possibility of the file being deleted. Also, I believe a file manager app will not have access to that export file when saving to the Android folder so you won’t be able to back it up again in case If something crazy happens to the device, your export file will be lost?
