A PC can access those folders but even with root and "all files access" android file managers can't on recent versions of Android. Shizuku or apps like it allow file managers to access those folders by pretending to be a PC. Folders like the contents of android/data for each app. Without it you just see empty folders. It's ridiculous.



Hmm really? That sucks, I guess this is after 14 or so? I'm running 12 or 13.


Right. Personally I think Android has gotten worse with every single update since 4.4
