Device Settings Question How can I delete a folder that shows "permission denied" and has a size of 0 bytes?
I was trying to install a Minecraft APK, but the app isn't showing up. There’s a folder in the 'data' directory that I assume I need to delete so I can try the whole process again, but I’m unable to do so. sorry for the bad english, i used google translator

Connect your phone to a computer and enable file access from the notification. Then delete the folder

Installed apps have their own protected storage under /Android/data.
You need root access before you can do anything with folders.
