I find it funny that there’s a bunch of people here who know how to use android’s file system. Like, of course the Linux nerds figured out how to use it (and I love you all the more for it)
It’s one of the most frustrating things ever. Anyone acting like navigating Android’s files is anything similar to navigating any desktop computer’s files needs some perspective. “You said this is difficult, but for me it’s easy, therefore it’s actually easy.”
Varies a ton between apps, some use private app storage on Android too (only accessible with root) or in appdata storage (restricted to system apps), or in scattered folders under the regular “user data” folders (easiest by far)
Bonus points if you have an SD card, double bonus points if you manage to have 2 of them, because then you have multiple copies of these standard user data folders

MediaStore recreating the standard Android library folder layout on my SD card no matter how many times I deleted them was infuriating.
