I suspect you have the data installed on SD Card? I did experience the same and the reason was that the SD card (or the connections) were buggy - the SD card was sometimes disappearing and reappering in system. You wouldn't even notice this, just the message telling you to "disconnect" sdcard before ejecting it would come up. Another reason was when I was using "non standard" way to move the folder - using init script (move to sdcard and similar) to access the card. You have to wait for the boot to finish if this is the case, and it takes surprisingly long time - sometimes minutes. Do not delete the files - simply rename the folder, let it recreate, and manually move the files back. But unless you get to the root of the problem, it will come back again and again. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.
