      Note

      All Android apps, including Minecraft, are required to follow certain rules regarding file storage.

      Please see Minecraft External Storage Update on Android for an explanation along with tips regarding Storage Cleaner applications.

      If your worlds appear to be missing, please see Minecraft Worlds Lost When Using External Storage on Android Devices for information about how you might recover them.

      why would mojang change such a big thing the new storage location deletes everything in there well im playing then suddenly it force closes like then i went back empty yeah completely empty i checked the files boom empty minecraft just deleted my packs my hard worked worlds for nothing i can't play Minecraft with this update idk why they moved the storage location im fine with the default one 

      steps to reproduce:

      1. install Minecraft 1.17.41
      2. create a world and play for a little
      3. save it and uninstall it.
      4. install 1.18.0.02
      5. signup and use that option game gives to move file.
      6. then go in to your world and play.
      7. then save it and close the game.
      8. then clear the game cache memory also use storage cleaner.(use built-in storage cleaner if possible. Else no need.)
      9. then go back and open the game.

      observe results:

      you'll see you have signed out of the game. If you go to settings and open profile then change file location to external it will not show your world.

      if you open your file manager and go to com.mojang.minecraftpe/games/com.mojang/MinecraftWorld/your world file, there will be only 3 folder completely empty, no game db, no resource pack and no nothing.

      Expected results: you lots your world, you lost your progress unless you have a backup.

       Its not happening to me only. A lot of players facing the same issue. so there must be some issue and even if I dont use the cleaner it still gets deleted after clearing cache memory. I hope you guys will do a deep investigation on this.

      Thanks

      Minecraft is not even included in cccleaner app how is this even possible cuz they keep blaming cleaner apps or system cleaner stuff

      I don't think this is necessary this issue is present in almost all android devices 

      no minecraft anymore this is the saddest news I've ever heard they just closed this issue cuz of invalid thingy no games can replace minecraft sorry guys this report ain't enough to change the storage file location
