Hi all,
I have downloaded a number of small pdf files on my I9505 (e.g. gym timetables from web browser and email attachments).
I was just wondering where these are stored so that I can delete them? Or are they automatically deleted after I close the viewing application (I doubt it).
Does anyone know where these are stored and therefore how to delete them?
Thanks
When i download a file its stored in the folder Downloads, on the internal memory.

I was just clearing out my SD card when I noticed in a folder called "download" on the root of the card there was a lot of apk files called "downloadfile-1.apk" with different numbers in place of the 1. Does anyone know where these come from and if I'm ok to delete them? Thanks.

These are Android packages for the apps you have downloaded probably through some application.
These are safe to delete as your actual apps installed will live elsewhere. It is safe to say if your not noticing anything not installed and you don't know what they are, these can be deleted. If you need them again and you have paid for them, the market should have these information stored with your google account and can be downloaded again if needed.
If you really want to, you can transfer them to your home pc for backup. You can find out what they are using the android software development kit if you so wish, using a program called aapt.
Thanks for the advice. Very helpful.

When I receive files via gmail, is it possible to choose the folder they download to? Id like to put photos I receive in my photo folder and documents I receive in my documents folder. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks

No, I think they go to the download folder, but you can move them using Astro or another file manager
Is there anyway to get the setup files you download from the market? I'm after the Software Data Cable. I found most of the setup files in /data/app but for some reason that setup file wasn't in there or the app-private folder.
Yes I know I can re-down load them all, but I prefer to have my set up files on hand
thanx in advance
CRAP......wrong section to post this in...sorry everyone :/

I haves root and flash cm10.1 on my phone. but I have a folders called Android/obb which I want to delete. But I don't know why I cannot delete it. I have tried by deleting it in pc or es file manager, It won't help. After that I have tried to format my sdcard in recovery and reset the phone. But the folders Android/obb still presence. Plz help! how can I delete this folder?
I might be wrong but I think this folder is part of default android structure and it stores some kind of user app data. So by resetting your phone I don't think you can remove this folder as it's there by default. However try deleting the content instead if the folder can't be deleted.

Have you checked how much space is available in your settings after you formated? If you formated, you should get back all the previously occupied space.
Why do you want to delete that particular folder ?

Rescan your SDcard. Either reboot your phone, or download rescanSD app from the play store.

1. Copy them (not the parent folder) to another file or off device
2. Reboot
3. Copy back to device original folder
4. Reboot
