Just curious to know what the .Hnc is here in Storage > Miscellaneous files:

By the way, what's not shown is .face which I deleted. Are these safe to delete?

Not if you use Stealthychief, Studio, Audible or S Note. (Zedge probably is, because you've probably moved any ringtones you downloaded to your ringtone folder.)

You're only going to free up 48.874MB out of 32KB of total storage - not much. You can clear hlf that much by clearing the cache.

Always be careful with the miscellaneous data heading... I once cleared it and lost all photos that were ever exchanged on my phone using WhatsApp...

**The exact same happened to me...

I lost more than 700 photos!!! Including all the voicenotes! Super depressed about it :(
Luckily my videos were saved on my memory card, so them I still have.

Just wish I saw this post before I went and deleted half my life lol :p
Well on the bright side, at least I got space on my tab again haha :D

Hope you all have a great day ♡

Can someone help as I am getting so annoyed! I can't install whatsApp on my Samsung galaxy as it states insufficient storage space so I've uninstalled most of the applications and down to 10.84 Mb. Audio (music and ring tones) says 480 Mb but there's no music and the picture and videos says 578 Mb but I only have five pictures. Misc files states .94 Gb. My total space is only 2 Gb (it's an old phone). Help! Thanks for any help, any help at all.

I deleted the Facebook app as a memory eater, but in Miscellaneous there is still a file .facebook_cache

Can I delete this? Should I? There are a couple other ones that say FB but minimal.
