find . -type f -name ".tcookieid" -exec rm -f {} \;

Not sure what it is. I found one website which gave information stating that it's recognized as a form of a Trojan virus that collects info and sends it somewhere. Can't verify that, however, if you want to remove them all then open up terminal, change directory to root of internal sdcard and copy paste the command above. Do the same for external sdcard as well.

I haven't seen them come back yet, but if it does, then best believe I have every intention of wiping my device out and restoring with a pure stock Rom.

EDIT: I noticed that it's not just the internal and external storage. Its everywhere on the device. However, I still have not seen it come back on my device since I have removed them.

same issue, not that alarming

I believe they are a direct link to a cookie on websites to keep track of your browser traffic, lots of websites use them, some more aggressively than others, I just delete them through 7zipper 2.0. If you stay on top of it, check once a week, it doesn't get too out of hand.

Read this article; type in your browser "what is a cookie?' And click the link, ".... All about cookies" I can't post links yet, sorry.

Correct me or add to if you find anything else

It's more of a headache than a threat, its a file that allows websites to keep up with browsing history on websites to give suggestive sites on your mobile browser through their cookies. Read this article and put 2&2 together. Type in "All about cookies" in your browser, I can't post links yet, sorry. I just monitor my files closely and it doesn't get out of hand checking once a week, but that would depend on how much you surf and what sites you go to. Hope this helps!

Fill me in on any extra details

Me too never had that app but many others have come and gone. I have this file and many others stored in "miscellaneousfolder" or whatever on my Samsung Galaxy s5. I'm going on a deleting spree and still the numbers don't add up and oddly enough the bar reflecting the slices of memory shows a larger, I believe more accurate, slice of free space than my phone is telling me. Ugh I'm just gonna get a bigger SD card it'll probably solve everything. :confused:

.tcookieid

I too have found this file, it came from xmodegame which i had install for clash of clan. I think the file contain some kind of ID, for further exchange of data, this app get root permision and voilate privacy by tranmiting other data too. I have install in rooted device, my suggetion to refresh the ROM. Rest phone works only with non rooted device with root and also granted root, my guggetion is that refersh your ROM asap. 5his is leach (worm).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mat7cet:
It is a kind of permanent marking. For each directory, the file has the same contents. After installation Xposed with xprivacy and refusal to provide android id, my device has been so marked. It is best to install the new clean rom.

Is it anyhow lethal to my data or my sd card .? should i worry about it .? help will be appreciated
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamikaze702k:
Flashing a clean rom won't help as you don't know the cause so the way you use your device continues with the new rom therefore these files come back.

I know because I've tried

Don't know the cause, never had any font apps so it's not from there, not sure where the files keep coming from, even after manually deleting they appear again...

Haven't really seen any weird things happening, maybe those files track something, tcookieid. Tracking cookie id?

They appear in most directories in the internal and external drive of the device.

Come from one rom to another and clean flashed everything yet someway somehow the files appeared again..

Would be great if someone can find the cause or purpose of these files.

What are they? Why are they so stubborn? Why are they in most directories? Why do they keep appearing even after deleting... What do they want......
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I've got tcookieid files in my device since installing xmodgames & xposed framework. Deleting them doesn't work as they reappear once you launch the programs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Found out that its xmodgames what's doing this. Every time xmodgames is launched, it creates the .tcookieid files in the system. Deleting doesn't help as they are created again on launching xmodgames.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robneymcplum:
Not xmodgames as I dont have that, nor ifont as I dont have that either. It will be a browser cookie stored from when you have been online.

Delete them all and go online through your browser for a bit, googling things etc... then look and they will have returned with the times you were online. I assume it would also be collected for other things accesing the internet, games etc, so the game mod thing may collect one when it updates or checks online or whatever it does, and the ifont I assume would do the same when it also updates or checks things.

My issue is with folders called .735775347394 and other random numbers containing 0kb of info, appearing 20+ a day even during the night when my phone is unused and in airplane mode. These also are no harm and can be deleted but they must be causing my phone to 'wake up' and create these folders, reducing battery life even when off.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Xmodgames does create the tcookie files. I've checked it on different phones with clean ROMs. Just don't know its purpose.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ItsMeMasih:
Injected re-directs

I'm not sure if this is related to the .tcookieid files of which I have in every directory on my SD card on my HTC M9 but lately, I've been getting re-directs while browsing on Chrome browser and on known safe sites. For example, if I click on an imgur link on reddit, I'll get re-directed to a 3rd party ad or app download site. Anyone else suffering from this? I'm on a stock, dev locked, S-ON device. I was thinking of doing a factory reset.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themohvision:
any update on this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeadlyByNite:
I am very curious about this as well. I have been seeing them for some time now. It would be nice to know what they do, where they come from, and what is their purpose. What is the weird string of characters inside? They are all 33kb files.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeadlyByNite:
It looks like it's nothing to worry about. After doing a few searches, and asking a few people, this sounds like the best answer.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda member #928394:
Dont worry

Dont worry .tcookieid is not a virus or a malware its just a cookie trace used by google desinged in your AndroidOS since google is a system app it will just copy itself in your sd card only
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Its a tracking cookie. Have you installed xmodgames on your device which normally creates these files?

[HTC One X] rasteck:
Hi to all.

I have a problem with the ROM "Android Revolution HD 33.1.

The ROM is amazing, but I believe I do something wrong. I installed ROM and it works very well (in HTC One X). But the internal space (6,76GB total) is busy. I had only 1,4 gb free. And in the configuration of the phone, it tell me that 500mb are in apps and 4,82 in "other" stuff.

Anyone know why happen this? Because in the previous version of this ROM I had enough space, but in this version...

Maybe the reason are the tweaks installed? I installed most part of them, to improve perfomance.

Thanks a lot for the help :). And sorry for my english, I dont talk it very well.

Regards
[HTC One X] Angelo37:
I also had this with stock rom. The "other" is the system i guess
[HTC One X] rasteck:
Hi Angelo, thanks for respond me.

Really? Because I believe that other version of "Android Revolution" (version 17) take less space in memory than this. With version stock I dont remember, but sure that take a lot of memory too.

Maybe this is because instaling the ROM I put some tweaks, one of them have separate partitions to /home, etc.

Anyway you may have reason, and "other" is all the system.

Thanks a lot ;)
[HTC One X] Angelo37:
:) im on ARHD too and i enabled all tweaks View attachment 2916921
[HTC One X] rasteck:
Ok, you have the same free space, like me haha. Ok, so this is normal. I save from format the device again.

Ok Angelo37, thanks for your help, really :).

Agreed on both counts. The form factor for the display size is just too winning for me. I'm able to overlook these things for now. I realize that they should have tested this stuff a little more thoroughly. I'm hoping that they will actually support the handset with appropriate updates. They have the hardware to compete they need to complete the picture with timely updates. There are plenty of other great options out there and some new announcements on the horizon that may take the shine off of the handset and make it less likely to overlook some significant flaws but for now every time I look at the screen... I can handle a few work-arounds.
