Help Slight question.

[HauntedNightmare]

I had recently gotten curious, to find out EXACTLY what would happen if I deleted my "Android" folder in my tablet (Nextbook NXA8QC116B) anyone know the answer to this?

This is just the folder which got user information of apps. When you try to delete you will get warning if it is a system application.

I was wondering because, I have heard cases where someone deleted it and then could not boot their device.

Bad things ... VERY bad things.

While you wouldn't be able to delete any protected content, you will delete some or all of the installed app files and if they were free versions they are generally not protected from the user (they are protected from other apps altering them). You could easily cause a device not to boot, especially if you use a 3rd party launcher. The only option after that is a full factory reset, which will wipe all of your apps and settings.

If you are rooted, then all bets are off and you'll like a monarch with ratchet (royally screwed ).

Thanks for the input, I'll be sure NOT to delete that folder then .
