It’s understandable to judge software by its actions, especially when it comes to malware detection. No antivirus is perfect, and sometimes things slip through. Using tools like SD Maid Pro can help, particularly on older Android versions like Pie. However, Android 11 and higher with scoped storage can complicate things, potentially requiring ADB edits for proper functionality, which is not always straightforward. For users who find it effective, SD Maid can be useful in maintaining a cleaner system over time.
When uninstalling apps, especially modified ones (mods), issues can arise. Recently, while uninstalling an app mod via Settings, SD Maid Pro prompted to remove leftover trace files. Although I authorized the removal, it didn’t seem to resolve the core uninstallation problem. Concerns about mods and potential risks are valid, but in this case, no red flags were raised by the community, and personal experience with mods suggests this particular Inshot mod, a popular choice, is unlikely to be malicious.
The uninstallation difficulties might stem from incorrect packaging by the modder, affecting many users, not just myself. Learning to manage these issues is necessary, especially when budget constraints make paid apps less accessible due to inflation. Thinking about security in this context, some users might wonder about thorough system checks. In the past, techniques like performing a Cara Scan Avast Lewat Booting 2017 – essentially, an Avast boot-time scan from around 2017 – were considered for deep system scans before the OS fully loaded. While the relevance of a 2017 boot scan for modern Android and app mod uninstall issues might be debatable, the principle of checking for underlying problems remains. For now, focusing on understanding the mod’s behavior and potential packaging issues seems more pertinent to resolving the uninstallation challenges.
