RecoverX: Cleaner & Vault

RecoverX helps you review what is taking up storage on your phone and decide what to delete. It runs entirely on your device.

WHAT IT DOES

Duplicate files
Compares files byte by byte using an MD5 checksum, so a group is only shown when the files are genuinely identical. The original copy is kept and the extra copies are offered for review.

Similar photos
Groups visually near-identical shots (burst photos, repeated attempts) so you can keep the one you want.

Large files
Lists files above 100 MB, sorted by size.

Screenshots
Collects screenshots from your screenshot folders for quick review.

Swipe review
Goes through photos and videos one by one, grouped by date. Swipe to keep or mark for deletion.

Media compression
Re-encodes photos and videos at a lower bitrate. Compression reduces a file to a portion of its original size; it does not remove the file.

Recovery
Lists files that still physically exist on the device and can be brought back: Android's system trash, files left behind with a .trashed name, the app's own recycle bin, LOST.DIR, cached thumbnails, and expired WhatsApp statuses.

Please note: RecoverX cannot recover data from erased storage sectors. Once Android has unlinked a file and reused its blocks, no app can read it back without root access. Every result the app shows is a file that is still on your device.

Vault
Moves selected photos and videos into private app storage, out of your gallery. When your device has a screen lock or fingerprint set up, opening the vault asks for it. You can restore the files to their original folder at any time.

WhatsApp cleaner
Shows WhatsApp media folders by size so you can review and remove what you no longer need.

Storage analyzer
Breaks down your storage by file type.

HOW DELETION WORKS

Nothing is deleted without your confirmation. Deleted media goes to Android's system trash, where it stays for 30 days and can be restored from your gallery. You can mark folders as protected so their contents are never offered for deletion.

PRIVACY

RecoverX works offline. Your files are never uploaded, and there is no account, no server, and no cloud sync. The app contains ads, which require an internet connection to load.

Recent changes:
• Vault: restored files return to their original folder, and moving several files asks for confirmation once, not once per file.
• Recovery: recovered files are saved to visible folders (Pictures/Movies/Music) and appear in your gallery right away, with duplicates removed.
• Duplicates: the original copy is kept, not a random one.
• Video thumbnails in Swipe Clean, Recycle Bin and Recovery.
• More accurate space-saving estimates.
• Folder protection applies to every delete.
• Stability fixes.
