Can't add/delete files from my phones app data folders

[seanmwaple]

I am talking about the Kodi app ... PC\Z Fold5\Internal storage\Android\data\org.xbmc.kodi

I got a new phone and I wanted to just move all my files from my Kodi app to the new phone. It will take me forever to get Kodi setup if I have to do it manually. But it doesn't let me drag and drop the files from the old phone into the new one. I have tried doing it on my laptop and tried a handful of different 3rd party file management apps. Nothing would work. Does my phone need to be rooted???

The /Android/data directory might be a protected system directory that requires root access if you want to manipulate files and folders directly. I can't access it using Files by Google, but I can access it using Total Commander (after granting certain permissions). See if you have any success using that file manager.

It was in ask the question Forum which didn't get much suggestions, Fold 5 is more popular for help and if someone with the same device ran into this while moving files to different app.

If you want I'll put it back?
