If I uninstall Samsung Music app, will my music be deleted?

[Android Central Question]

Samsung Music has suddenly stopped and won't open. I'm getting a disable battery optimizer message. But I can't change it, so was going to Uninstall, then reinstall. Will my music from various apps be deleted?

In your file manager in what folder do you see your music files? What format are these music files?

I don't even have Samsung Music app on my Samsung devices. I use Poweramp Pro for locally stored music files that are FLAC and WAV format.

Welcome to Android Central! Uninstalling and reinstalling the Samsung Music app won't affect any of your own music. If you saved your own music tracks to the phone for the Music app to play, then those files will remain unaffected in the directory where they were saved. If you're streaming music from a service, then that music will still be available on that streaming service.

Before uninstalling the app, you might also try going to Settings>Apps, selecting Samsung Music, then Storage, then Clear Cache/Clear Data, and then Force Stop. Now open it again and see if the problem persists.

Always a good idea to have a backup of all your music off the phone anyway. I have copies on my laptop, tablet, car radio USB memory button and PMP.
