I have noticed that on my samsung phone, a folder keeps reappearing even after I delete it. If even appears in my secure folder. Could someone explain what these files are and why they keep regenerating? Is there a way to stop this? My mobile model is A16 5G

These are system and application generated folders and are required for smooth functioning of your phone. Cfg extention shows they are configuration files. Read more below

The BstConfigFile folder!

The BstConfigFile folder is a system folder on some Samsung devices, typically found in the internal storage or root directory. It contains configuration files related to the BestConfig feature I mentioned earlier.

Here are some key points about the BstConfigFile folder:

1. _System folder_: This folder is created by the system and contains files essential for BestConfig's functionality.
2. _Configuration files_: The folder stores configuration files (.xml or .txt) that define various settings and parameters for BestConfig.
3. _Internal storage_: The BstConfigFile folder is usually located in the internal storage (e.g., `/data/` or `/system/`).
4. _Hidden folder_: On some devices, the BstConfigFile folder might be hidden by default. To access it, you may need to enable "Show hidden files" in your file explorer.

Please note that modifying or deleting files within the BstConfigFile folder can potentially cause issues with BestConfig or other system functions. It's recommended to avoid tampering with this folder unless you're an advanced user or developer who knows what they're doing!

Go to files and disable "Show system / hidden files" . Then you will stop seeing.
