According to reports from network sources, a bug has been discovered in the mobile operating system Android 9 (Pie) that leads to the deletion of user files when attempting to move them from the 'Downloads' folder to another location. The report also states that renaming the 'Downloads' folder may result in files being deleted from the device's memory.
The source indicates that this problem occurs on devices with Android 9 and is related to the cleanOrphans function. A user who encountered the issue was attempting to move downloaded images from the 'Downloads' folder to another location. The files were successfully copied until the device entered Doze Mode, a power-saving mode introduced in Android Marshmallow. Once the smartphone switched to Doze Mode, the files that the user attempted to copy were simply deleted.
The user reported the issue to developers through the Google Issue Tracker, but no solution has been proposed yet. It is worth noting that information about similar problems had previously appeared online over the last two years; however, it is clear that the bug leading to file deletions during the copying process from the 'Downloads' folder remains relevant.
Until the error is fixed by developers, users are advised to be more cautious when copying files from the 'Downloads' folder, as important files may be lost under certain circumstances.
