Question about app installs
Ok - kind of a techy question here:
When I do an install, I download a apk file. After I do the actual install from the apk, are there left over files from the install that I can/should remove because they are no longer needed? Or does the install MOVE the apk file from the downloads folder to the apps folder? (If I knew where the downlaods folder resides, I would not have to ask this question - but I don't.) Thanks, - w |

If an app installed successfully there are no leftovers.
Otherwise, e.g., Market writes into /sdcard/download. Amazon has own cache, check under /data/data. |

I think I answered my own question: By using the ES File Manager (I had been using Android Explorer - which shows EVERYTHING), I was able to find the download folder and deleted a couple apk downloads. After deleting I still have the working app. So this was kind of what I expected - just did not know where to find the downloads folder.

Thanks Ivan
I have a SD card coming. I only have a couple new apps installed so far - those are pretty available for download. |
