      I'm unable to find where worlds are stored on a kindle fire tablet with the latest updates.  According to the help center article [Managing Data and Game Storage in Minecraft|https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/4409165790605-Managing-Data-and-Game-Storage-in-Minecraft-, the world storage location should be found in /Android/data/com.mojang.minecraftpe/files/games/com.mojang/ but I can't find it there.

      Here are the steps I've followed.

      1. Install Minecraft from Amazon app store.
      2. Using a file explorer. Validate that /Android/data/com.mojang.minecraftpe/ doesn't exist. Technically I validated that /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.mojang.minecraftpe/ didn't exist since the kindle is using the emulated storage.
      3. Open Minecraft.
      4. Create a new world.
      5. Save and exit the new world.
      6. Validate that the new world is visible in the worlds screen.
      7. Exit Minecraft.
      8. Navigate to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data in a file explorer.
      9. Note that com.mojang.minecraftpe/ now exists. In fact com.mojang.minecraftpe/files/ also exists. However there is nothing in the files/ directory.

      So it appears that the world data is being stored somewhere else. /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.mojang.minecraftpe/files/ is being created when I create my first world but it ends up empty. I can't seem to find another location where the files might be even though they are still visible to Minecraft itself.

      I'd like the app to be updated to make the worlds visible to the emulated storage so that I can copy worlds to and from this device. Am I missing some step?

      Thanks for your time,
      Kalon

       

      PS:
      I did find that packaging a world as a .mcworld and importing it into Minecraft does allow for imports, but I'm still left unable to export the world.  I haven't tried inserting an external storage to see if transferring the worlds to the external storage makes it visible. I assume that might work, but I'd prefer not to have to use this route.
