[APP][1.6+] SD Maid - System cleaning tool

---

Description:

Ive started working on a tool to clean up after apps (inspired by this thread).

Nobody is perfect and android neither.
Apps you have already deleted sometimes leave data behind.
The system constantly creates logs, crash reports and debug files you don't really need.
The market leaves temporary files of downloaded apps behind.
Lets not go on here...

SD Maid is a universal file tool that helps you keep your device neat and tidy.

This will work on any device with android 2.1 or higher.
Root is recommended but not necessary.

Use at own risk.
I design everything very carefully and try to provide a smooth experience on every device, but because of the vast amount of android devices it is impossible for me to know every little quirk some firmwares might have!
If you think something is not going as intended, please contact me.

On start or when pressing refresh?
Could you post the StackTrace maybe?

edit: The force close comes from the directory "/dbdata/databases" not existing hm...
Where would the directory be located on the HD2 ?
edit2: New version up which wont force close
Does this problem of left over directories only exist on the sgs?

Yes!!! I have been wanting an app like this for a while!

Installed but force closes every time I try to refresh...

I just uploaded a new version which should not force close, but it seems you don't have that directory /dbdata/databases either.

There's no such folder on stock android. Each app have their own folder for data in /data/data/<package name>, which is automatically deleted at uninstall.
