Ginkgo: 500MB 'extm_file' in /data/extm

[Bunbury]

Hello, anyone else having this 'extm_file' in folder /data/extm ? Even if I delete the folder 'extm' itself, it gets recreated each time the phone is rebooted.
It's not only because of (possible) wasted 500MB, it's mainly because the nandroid backups fail due to this file.
Thanks.

Yes, I got this file and have to delete the whole folder every time before I do a backup in TWRP via file manager or adb. Quite annoying!

Thanks a lot for replying. At least I know now that I'm not the exception

Looks more like this and I didn't check the size, but without deleting the whole extm folder the backup wouldn't work. I think it started when I once tried to establish a second user profile. But I'm not sure about this, as there were also other files with encryption, which I realized they weren't decrypted in TWRP with my credentials. Had to delete them also manual, but they didn't come back like this always.
