Ever since latest update have lost all my download files and my apps keep crashing

[Android Central Question]

Your latest up date lost my download files. It's causing a lot of my Google apps to crash
Whose the ***** who screwed us up with the latest update on Android

Welcome to Android Central! FYI, this is an independent community forum without any direct ties to Google, or any other hardware or software company.

Which phone do you have? Are you talking about files in the /Download directory? Did you use a file manager app to look in there directly (as opposed to the Downloads "app")? Does your phone have a Smart Cleaner feature? If so, it might be set to periodically clear out your downloads.

What happens with your Google apps -- are you getting error messages?
