Hi guys, i tried to create forum thread yesterday but its been deleted.. I was asking about a file Fsdump.1.dat and why it is keep appearing in my internal storage folder.. where was a 2 files that which i mentioned before and another txt file, but i can't remember the name, it was something about dump also.. I deleted them both but .dat file keeps appearing.. I tried to google it but can't find any info about it.. now i kept that file for 2 days and when i check that file info it says its been edited about 5am when i was asleep, and also yesterday that file was 180kb now 223kb. Maybe anyone have any ideas? Thanks
 
android read and writes into many temp files that is stored on the system side. these files get deleted when you reboot or clear cache. it is most likely you are referring to those temp files. is there a reason you are interested in these types of files?
 
Just curious why it appeared from nowhere and why it changes every day about 5 am. Also size of it getting bigger and bigger every time. There is only this file in my internal storage main folder
 
The name of the file would suggest some sort of log or system dump. So if you've turned on any sort of system logging, if you've some regime where you reboot your phone daily (seems weird, but some people do), that's the sort of thing that I could imagine doing this.
 
Hi Kutacz15!

I was wondering the same thing as I had the file also. The fsdump.1.dat is F-Secure log, so if you have F-Secure installed and you have scheduled scan also set to run at 5 am it changes every day. I figured that out when I changed the file extension to be .txt and it just showed a log of my last scan made by F-Secure. You can try it also to see it for yourself!
