Privacy & safety · Keeping your files safe
Will Storage Studio ever delete my files without asking?
Short answer: Not your personal files. Removals are never pre-ticked and go to the Recycle Vault or Trash. Only rebuildable caches are cleared automatically, and a “Never delete personal files — only move them” switch blocks every delete rule.
Not your personal files. Anything that removes data is never ticked for you — you choose it — and what's removed goes to the Recycle Vault or Trash so it can be restored.
The one thing that runs on its own is cache clean-up, and only for rebuildable caches that apps recreate when they need them.
If you want a hard guarantee for automatic rules, turn on Settings → Rules → Global overrides → “Never delete personal files — only move them.” It skips every delete rule; app-cache clean-up still runs. See Settings.
