Dupe of #1331 1331

Nvm, not a dupe, this is about AppCleaner.

That's an interesting issue.

The deletion fails because one file could not be deleted:

2024-07-28T16:16:49.406Z  E/SDMSE:AppCleaner: Deletion failed for class eu.darken.sdmse.appcleaner.core.forensics.filter.DefaultCachesPublicFilter at NormalPkg(packageName=com.tencent.mm, userHandle=UserHandle2(handleId=0)): eu.darken.sdmse.common.files.WriteException: Can't write to path. <-> /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.tencent.mm/cache/download/UUID

This can happen, e.g. if the file is being used by the running app.

I should check if the app could be killed beforehand, I think that we have this already, with root it should work.

The error dialog with CancellationException is likely caused by the whole deletion operation being aborted due to one failed deletion, I think I'll change that to continue in that case with everything else :thinking:

/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.tencent.mm/cache/download/UUID

In order to defend against app advertisements, I created a UUID file (0kb) in the/storage/emullated/0/Android/data/com. tencent.mm/cache/download folder and processed the file using "chattr +i" Suggestion: Can sdmaid se skip files (folders) that cannot be deleted?

Similar to #916, yeah skipping this seems like a good option.

They will still show in your scan results, as undeletable items, to solve that you will still need an exclusion.

May I ask how to exclude it? I don't know how to set it up

I have similar issue, it takes more than an hour it to run and it does not delete anything :/ Is there a global solution for it yet or should I share my log?

Select the item in the results, long press it and pick exclude.

Similar as in you also created undeletable files with something like chattr +i? If so yes please provide a debug log here. If it's not that, e.g. it takes long because accessibility service loops, then please open a new ticket for your issue.

@DRYN07 You did the exact opposite of what I asked :slightly_frowning_face:

You didn't make any chattr +i modifications, the log shows that the AppCleaner loops. Looks like an issue with multiple system languages en and hu.
