I liked the Go SMS and Keyboard at first, but then they started spam me with unnecessary announcements, features etc. The Go Dev team is another famous Chinese Android developer. Why does a file manager want to clean my system? Also, I have found that ES File Explorer is constantly running in the background, submitting usage data to their server through ADB log. Remember ES File Explorer (by a Chinese company)? I liked it until, they tried to sneak in some system cleaning feature to a file manager. What is wrong with Chinese companies and spams? They always try this.Ī partition manager wants to start automatically to clean your system. Yeah, and notice that EaseUs is a Chinese company, Cheng Du. Secondly, it started automatically on Windows startup, and wanted to "clean some junk files" for me. I made sure not to be tricked to install their other complementary software with it, and I unchecked the customer feedback (i.e., marketing surveillance).įirst, it could not resize the C drive as I wanted. Today, I wanted to resize the Windows partition, so I tried some softwares including EaseUs Partition Master free edition.

And then it wanted me to buy the full version to recover those files. But EaseUs' software showed common Windows system directories and files. The drive was a data only drive I did not install Windows on it.

One free software was the EaseUs Data Recovery. None of them were really good and I eventually gave up. Knowing that the data was still there, I wanted to restore the files. Not the data itself, but just the metadata. Last year, I accidentally deleted a partition metadata.
