What are the data directories under the Android folder?
Common data directories in the folder of an Android device include:
- /data/data: The data directory for applications, where each app has a unique folder for storing its private data.
- This is the directory where the APK files of installed applications are stored: /data/app.
- /data/cache: directory for storing application cache files.
- /data/system: System-level data directory containing system configuration files and data.
- /miscellaneous data is stored in /data/misc, such as Wi-Fi network configurations, DHCP information, and more.
- The dalvik-cache is the cache directory for the Dalvik virtual machine, where compiled application code is stored.
- /data/local: This directory is used to store files that have been pushed to the local device using the adb push command.
- /lost+found directory: A directory for lost and found files in the file system.
- /data/media is the root directory of external storage such as an SD card.
- The root directory of the external storage is either /sdcard or /storage/emulated/0.
Please note that different Android device manufacturers may have differences in the file system, so the specific data directory may vary.
