According to online sources, a bug has been discovered in the mobile operating system Android 9 (Pie), leading to the deletion of user files when trying to move them from the Downloads folder to another location. The message also states that renaming the Downloads folder may cause files to be deleted from the device's memory.
The source says that this problem occurs on devices with Android 9 and is related to the cleanOrphans function. The user experiencing the issue was trying to move downloaded images from their Downloads folder to another location. The files copied successfully until the device switched to Doze Mode, which appeared in Android Marshmallow and is essentially a power-saving mode. After the smartphone switched to Doze Mode, the files copied by the user were simply deleted.
The user reported the problem to the developers via the Google Issue Tracker service, but so far no solution has been proposed. It is worth noting that over the past two years, information about such problems has already appeared on the Internet, but it is obvious that the error that leads to the deletion of files in the process of copying them from the Downloads folder continues to be relevant.
Until the bug is fixed by the developers, users are advised to carefully approach the process of copying files from the Downloads folder, since under certain circumstances, important files may be lost.
