[Resolved] Missing apk files for existing/working apps

[Hyjaqd]

I am using Astro file manager looking in /data and it is empty. I checked to make sure I can see hidden files (.file) I am looking in the folder from phone not sd card. I even tried to search for the specific file but it did not exist. The file I am looking for is "com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk" When the search completed it only found the backup of these files, not the ones that are currently being used.
I am still very new at this, so I'm sure it is operator error at some point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think you can use Astro to do this. You're going to have to use something like Root Explorer.

That was the problem, Astro does not allow access to the system files.

Super Manager is free in the market and solved the issue. Thanks!
