A processing method, device and terminal for uninstalling residual files

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a residual file uninstallation processing method and apparatus as well as a terminal. The method comprises: determining a residual directory under a system storage directory; detecting a cleanup type of the residual directory, wherein the cleanup type comprises default cleanup, default retention, classification cleanup, classification retention and no cleanup; if the detected cleanup type of the residual directory is classification cleanup or classification retention, detecting the cleanup type of a first-level subdirectory contained by the residual directory; and if detecting that the first-level subdirectory is not marked with the cleanup type, determining the cleanup type of the first-level subdirectory according to the cleanup type of the residual directory. With adoption of the residual file uninstallation method and apparatus and the terminal provided by the embodiments of the present invention, uninstalled residual files without the cleanup types can be further cleaned up, thereby enlarging a cleanup coverage, increasing storage resources of the terminal, and improving running efficiency of the terminal.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of terminals, in particular to a processing method, device and terminal for uninstalling residual files. Background technique [0002] At present, users can load various applications on personal terminals (such as smart phones, tablet computers, notebook computers, smart wearable devices, etc.), and can also uninstall the loaded applications. Usually, when an application program is installed, the application program will write data in the built-in or external memory of the terminal. Wherein, the external memory may include a secure digital card (referred to as SD card) and the like. When the application is uninstalled, the data in the built-in memory will be deleted accordingly, but the data corresponding to the application stored in the external memory will not be deleted, therefore, a large number of uninstallation residual directories and The subdirectories or subfiles contained in the residual ...

Problems solved by technology

However, due to the continuous updating of applications and scribbling of directories, many residual directories have not been identified as cleaning types. Therefore, during the process of cleaning residual files after uninstallation, it is not possible to clean residual directories that have not been identified as cleaning types. Effective cleaning results in low cleaning coverage, and after the application is uninstalled, there are still useless uninstallation residual files that occupy the storage resources of the personal terminal and reduce the operating efficiency of the personal terminal
