[Android Central Question]

i did a smart cleanup on my lg v20 and it deleted most files in my download folder.. is there a way to get them back?

Probably not - unless they were moved into a recycle bin. But I suspect they were deleted immediately.

Are they downloaded from browser? You should be able to redownload the files in browser download history. If not, which kind of files are they?
