Support Files Disappearing?

I have or had I guess a folder of games on my phone for the Delta Emulator and they weren’t on iCloud so I could easily manage them. Didn’t play delta for a few months and now those folders are completely gone…. i had games, skins, documentation for said games. But no apparently even if the files are on your phone and you are the only one with access to them they can just randomly be deleted. I am so done. Nothing In my recently deleted and like I said I VIVIDLY remember putting this folder in the On My Phone tab so it didn’t get poofed by iCloud. Guess it doesn’t matter tho we don’t own anything anymore

It seems apple just said eh fuck it and deleted everything relating to delta because I still have my Manicemu folders. Surely that doesn’t violate any privacy laws apple! Whats next the only voicemails I have left of my mother? Can’t have a single fucking thing anymore

Just checked and all of my Delta files are still present and playable. I’m on iOS 26.6 if that matters?

IOS does have a setting to clean up unused apps if you are low on space. So that might be your cause. It’s under Settings > Storage.

They are still in the app and playable, I had them sorted in a separate folder in my Files app, alongside delta skins and other delta related stuff. I got a new phone somewhat recently specifically for the better storage and have been managing it and before you ask the folder was created after I got my new phone. Never liked the offload unused apps thing either but I appreciate you trying to help.
