Root explorer settings wont stick

---

I updated root explorer to 3.16 and now it resets the preferences to default every time I exit it. Thought it was the version so went back to 3.15. That did the same thing, reset to default settings ever exit.
I then removed it and reinstalled 3.15 and same thing. I cleared data and same thing. I'm lost on why and what to do to fix it the way it was

Check your other programs that have root access

Go into dbdata/database and delete the root explorer folder, uninstall/reinstall root explorer.

Right on the money. Thank you.

Dxtra's solution is also what you need for other app's demonstrating the same problem. You just need to find the appropriate named file in the dbdata/database for deletion.

This was actually why I rooted in the first place...seemed if I installed an app, uninstalled (didn't like it), installed again (changed my mind) then some app's settings would not hold. It's a O.S. bug that's been around for a while (my opinion). I assume the reinstalled app cannot replace the original settings due to incorrect permissions?
