Question I have a file named tp_debug.info it is a txt it is located at my file manager phone storage when I delete the file it appears again it is safe?

[Pandafries]

I have a file named tp_debug.info it's a txt file type and when I delete it it comes back and the storage of that file keeps increasing I'm just wondering if it's a virus or a system log.



I'll try to find out which one it is.

Thanks for replying.

Do they need to be uninstalled or could just disabling them help too in finding the culprit app?

Oh, and also do I need to restart the phone immediately after uninstalling a particular app?

Welcome to Android Central! That's not an unusual occurrence. Which phone do you have?

I merged your threads. Can you tell us which phone you have?

It's oppo A55 android 11 basebrand kernel

I am by no means an engineer, but I found a mention of tp_debug in this Github page for the Realme Android kernel (Realme is a sub-brand of Oppo): https://github.com/arter97/android_...een/Synaptics/S3706/synaptics_drivers_s3706.c So it looks legit.

Thanks for the info! I'm just too curios on what app makes it being generated

But everytime I do the screenshot power button+Volume down button the file storage increases or the file appears again

The size of those kinds of log files is almost always going to be negligible in comparison with the rest of the phone's storage. If a file like that is impacting your free space significantly, then you really need to consider getting a phone with more storage.

It's best not to dwell on all of the apps you don't recognize or understand. After all, you wouldn't do this for the hundreds of thousands of system files on Windows PC, right? It should be reassuring enough that it seems to be part of the Android kernel that Oppo uses.

Ok I understood. in my conclusion everytime live my touch panel is not working it makes the tp_debug.info.txt file I think it's just a system log when the touch panel has some of the errors, is it ok to delete it Incase my phone storage is full?

It's ok to delete, but I still don't think it'll get you much space back.

Here's the info of the txt file

Yep, that Github page showed it has to do with the touchscreen. Nothing surprising there.

Is there a way for it to stop generating or Increasing?

I doubt it. You'd probably have to contact Oppo support about that.
